Here is a news item that ras writeu for The Statesman one day in March of last year brought out by the Salem slogaiwdltor on bee culture, as nearly as the slo gan editor can remember it: A man went from Linn county to the alfalfa district of Idaho, where bees are kept on a commer cial scale. He engaged in bee keeping up there; made a for tune; sold out and decided to re tire. He drove down in his automo bile to see the place where he was born- back of Lebanon in Linu county. He found a bee man who had a number of colonies; but he had not been successful; he did not know how; was discouraged. The Idaho visitor engaged the discouraged man in conversation, and finally the d. m. offered to sell his bees, and throw in an crtd tin Lizzie, for $1500. Tbe visitor said he did not want the Ford, but he would buy the bees if the discouraged man would agree to stay on the place, and work for a fair salary, and follow his directions. It was a bargain. The Idaho man wrote his check, and did not get out of his auto mobile. That was year before last; That fall he sold over $2000 worth of honey, and then sold the bees for more than the $1500 he paid. The lesson: There is money in bees, if you know bees, and know you know bees, and have the right location for bees. The right location is anywhere in the Salem district with one proviso, and that is more late bee pasture. This cannot be said and repeat ed too often. More late bee pasture Is the big thing for this valley; one of the biggest things in this valley. THE NATIVE THUG WILD ill W BE 1 This Blackberry, Which is so Highly Prized For Home Use, May be Successfully Grown in Your Garden, And Made to Produce Better Fruit Than When Found In the Distant Places That Are Hard to Reach. (Thousands of women and men in the Salem district will have cause to thank Ward K. Richard son, the grocer and plant dealer out at 2395 Front street, Salem, for the suggestions contained in the following letter, it they-will profit by them, and - the Salem Slogan Editor predicts that they will:) Editor Statesman: The native trailing wild black berry (not the Evergreen) can be "tamed" and cultivated in gar dens, where it will bear in abun dance. wUh half a chance, berries that are superior in. size and qual ity to those usually found in the wild state. Many seem not to know this and spend much un necessary time to get a few of them in distant places hard to reach. This blackberry is highly prized for home use abov all cul tivated sorts on account of its flavor, and perhaps because they are hard to get. It should beset In rows and trained on some kind of trellis similar to that used for loganber ries or other blackberries, and will thrive in any out-of-the-way corner of the back yard. Perhaps they would also be profitable cul tivated tor the market, although they are too soft for a shipping berry. The runners or canes that grow this season bear fruit tbe next, then die and should' be cut out and burned . Unlike the logan berry, the canes grow a lateral several feet in length front each leaf joint, and it is on the?e lateral runners that the fruit clusters grow, giving It a much larger bearing surface than most other blackberries. This makes up in Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Roma Hunter and Miss Maycle Hunter motored to Portland the first of the week for a brief sojourn. Mrs. J. V Jones will return today from Eugene where she went early in the week. Mrs. James E. Godfrey, Miss Emma Godfrey and Miss Eliza beth Brown, who are here dur ing the legislature, motored to Portland over- the week-end to be the guests of friends. Miss Brown will remain in Salem for several days yet. During her stay she has been complimented with a number of Informal social cour tesies.

Breyman Boise, Frank Durbin and Eugene GllL Washington's birthday was ob rerved Saturday by the W. R. C. in its hall. Following a business session the patriotic instructor. Mrs. Mary Cook; and a commit tee composed of Mesdames King, La Bare and Traglio, gowned in colonial cost u nws.-served tea aBd wafers. A Bocjal tlm was ?n the yield what the berries lack in size, because many times the num ber of berries are produced on a vine that would be grown on a logan cane of similar length. The loganberry and most blackberries do not make lateral runners under ordinary conditions. This variety differs from most others in that the blossoms are not self pollenlzing. Some vines pro duce pistillated flowers only, oth ers only staminate, so that it is necessary to plant an occasional staminate or male vine among them to insure fertilization. Pos sibly other varieties planted near them would cross fertilize the- pis tillate blossoms, but no experi ments have been made to the writ er's knowledge. The male vines may be easily distinguished by their extra large blossoms with well developed stamens, usually growing in clumps together, and sometimes said to "blight" because no ber ries ever form. The pistillate or fruit bearing, vines have a small blossom with no stamens developed. A dozen vines in full bearing produce five gallons or more of fruit in a .season. The roots can be dug up along most any old fence-row, are hardy, and not easily discouraged, as any farmer who has tried to kill them out will testify. Cultivated as other cane fruits are. and irrigated. It will respond astonishingly. The native blackcap raspberry also makes it self at home In the family garden. It is very hardy and was not dam aged by last winter's cold, while the wild blackberry was injured where not covered with snow. f WARD K. RICHARDSON. Salem, Ore. Feb. 17. 1921. possible, fly several rods away roni the hive before dropping her load. Others seem content to push the dead bees through the entrance and let them drop on the ground where they sometimes accumulate in such numbers as to lead the Inexperienced bee man to believe he is losing his colo nies. The bee keeper who has carried his colonies through a number of winters notes with a good deal of satisfaction the brisk activity of tbe bee3 in getting rid of the use less litter, but any hive which, af ter a spell or warm weather, does not show indications of house cleaning, is at once an object of suspicion and the experienced owner' takes the first opportunity to find out why the iees are not taking advantage of their oppor tunities. Sometimes a rap on the side of the hive will be rewarded by the appearance of a few bees at the entrance,' or it may bring only a sleepy buzz in protest against the disturbance. Lifting the hive for the purpose of form ing an estimate of food conditions may convey the Information that grim starvation is lurking in the hive, in which case the bees will have little ambition to engage in labor which they know only too well will be useless and for which days, possibly weeks, of short ra tions have reduced strength and vitality to a point where manual labor is Impossible. In cae a shortage of stores is indicated, if the owner is to save the colony he must take advantage of the first warm day o open the hive and give the bees one or more frames of sealed honey, or, in the absence of honey, glva them a sup ply of pure sugar syrup. (2 pints of granulated sugar to 1 pint of water) in a suitable feeder. It may be that because of stores or poor quality, such as boney dew, which the bees sometimes gather in quantity late ia the sea son, the bees are afflicted with dysentery.1 or that through loss of the queen at.the-beginning of win ter there is apparently no hope of starting brood rearing. In either case tbe bees are more like ly to remain quietly in their clus ter, too sick or dispirited to take note of the fact that outside the sun is shining and that their more prosperous neighbors have been released from confinement and are having a holiday. Given a supply of food of good quality, the dysentery will probably dis appear, but for the colony which is nueenless in winter nothing can be done except to wait for the coming of settled warm weather when the remnant of the colony may be united with another hive, or. if still strong iu numbers, a queen may be purchased from a breeder and introduced. The colonies which have been packed at the beginning of win ter, that is. the hive given suit able protection against both cold ' and wet, will usually be found In , the spring to be In much better) onrdition than those which were given no protection. Also, it will be found that brood rearing has bt-en started several weeks earl ier in the protected hive, and In consequeiK-e when the lirst blos soms appear the colony will have a large number of workers ready to go to the field and bring in the new pollea so necessary to the welfare of the young brood, and it Is almost Invariably the colony which gets a rlrone early start that later in the season brings in the bis cnp of honey. Don't disturb the bes in any way during the w!nter or early spring unlers yon have good rea son to believe.tbey are starving and will le lost If not given food. Don't attempt to unite, trans fer or move colonies before tbe fruit trees are in bloom. Too early manlpalatjon ot tbe ! bees may lose for yon all the advan tages secured through successful wintering and the colonies weak en and dwindle away just at the time when they should otherwise be building up ready for tbe har vest.

By O. S. CRKGO. Bee Expert fori Portland Seed Company Ererr winter wc are asked by beginners in the bee business to toll thorn what is tbe matter with their bees. They frequent ly find a Rood many dead bees scattered over the surface of the snow, or on the ground in front of the hive, and immediately jump to the conclusion that something is wrong. A short time ago a man came hurrying to the store demanding a half dozen good feeders, as the bees were dying in the hive and the yard was littered with their bodies, lie stated that none ot their supplies had been removed last fall, also that the hive3 were very heavy, but if they were not starving why did thev die?
