Beekeeping
Costs Threat
To Fruit Crops
(Story also on page 1.)
The high cost of buzzing may
hare a serious effect on Oregon's
seed and fruit crops, the state
board of agriculture decided Wed
nesday. Members said the increased fees
for beekeepers approved by the
19S1 legislature already are bur
dening some so that they will drop
out of the business. This will work
a hardship on orchardists and ag
riculturists who depend on bees
for pollinization of their crops, it
was said.
The board suggested that bee
keepers, seed growers and horti
cultural farmers get together to
formulate a policy for consider
ation by the next legislature.
The higher fees are part of the
plan for control and eradication of
diseases of bees. The new fees are
S3 for registration phis 25 cents
per hive, and 25 cents per colony
for moving permits.
The board said the fees would
come close to providing adequate
funds for inspection purposes if
they were fully collectible and If
the bee population remained un
changed. Members felt, however,
tnat tne numbers will be reduced
and out-of-state apiarists will be
reluctant to ' ring In bees for pol
linization, resulting in a serious
reduction of both seed and horti
cultural crops.
Juveniles Blamed
For Trash Blaze
Investigations by city police and
juvenile officers Into a fire this
month on the porch of a partially
completed house have led to he
belief that it was the work of
juvenile vandals, it was reported
Thursday by Juvenile Officer
Kenneth H. eipp.
The house, located at 2000 Court
st. and owned by Mrs. H. L. Ness,
was damaged when trash in a
wheelbarrow on the front porch
ignited the night of December 8.
Mahogany siding was charred by
the blaze before arrival of fire
men. Police reports show that the
wheelbarrow may have been mov
ed onto the porch after workmen
had departed.
