HEKK EEPKHS BEWARE
OF BEE DISEASES
Foul brood is getting a pretty
strong foothold in Umatilla county,
and Is so plentiful In counties along
the east sftite line that the honey
crop Ibis season will prove a failure.
The bee business is in such a ile
moralized condition that Mr. Scullen
predicted that there would be a large
number of colonies of bees offered
for sale at a price that would at
tract the attention of beekeepers at
a considerable distance who would
probably not know of the diseased
condition of the bees in that part
of the state.
He also said that probably some
bee men would be looking for new
locations as their alfalfa also was
nearly ruined by various pests so
thai bee pasturage was Very scarce.
We are very fortunate In being
free of any bee disease, so let us
tak every precaution possible to
prevent any bees being shipped into
the county unless they can show a
clean bill of health. In order to do
this we will have in petition the
County Court 10 appoint an inspector
who will hae the authority to ex
amine all bees being shipped into
the county, and refuse admittance
to any which are diseased. It is
the duty of the County Court to ap
point an inspector whenever seven
or more beekeepers petition it to do
so. There is no provision made for
compensation so we will expect one
of our number to volunteer to act as
inspector gratis until such time as
plans can be made for paying him.
It Is estimated that fully seventy -five
per cent of the bees in the west
half of the state died last season of
foul brood, and the prospects were
good that more than that percentage
of what was left will be lost this
season They have in the west part
of the state what Is known as
Europe foul brood and east of the
Cascade mountains almost invari
ably it Is American foul brood which
Is much more fatal, no possibility of
their rii! mi- themselves as is often
the case with the European variety.
So far we have but one nonresi
dent keeping bees in this locality.
Now let us make an effort to prevent !
any extension ot tins branch of bee j
keeping, as the actual restdents will
MM have the territory stocked to I
the extreme limit.
Our great danger lies In these
often neglected apianes. Neighbors
caught at least ten absconding
swarms from this one small yard
this season, and several other
swarms were known to go to the
plains to find homes in some badger
hole or other lodgement on the John
Day desert.
When these wild bees become
weak from disease, our bees will rob
them and spread the disease over
the whole project. The drones will
also carry the disease, and as they
are welcome in any hive no matter
how far from home, there is great
danger from this source.
The association must call a meet
ing to adopt a constitution and by
laws and prepare a petition to be
presented to the County Court for
the appointment of an inspector in
the near future.
Let everybody interested in keep
ing our bees free from disease and
holding the territory for the settler
should come to the meeting when
called.
Yours for better bees and all tha'
we can properly take care of and no
more. C. H. DILLA BOUGH.

ERO.M FEDERAL LAND BANK
In reply to an inquiry from H. H.
Crawford, secretary-trasurer of West
Extension Farm Loan association,
addressed to the Federal Land bank
f Spokane, Stuart A. Bice, secretary
O the president, replies as follows:
"We acknowledge receipt of your
letter under date of the 7th instant,
wherein we are requested to advise
on if we have resumed our loaning
jperations in Oregon and Washing
011 and if we are in position to in
orm you as to when business from
our locality can be considered.
In reply we respectfully beg to
idvlse that the Bank resumed Its
ctivities to a limited extent about
he first of May, but has not at any
ime been in position to undertake
urther investigations in the Board
nan district with a view to deter
mining the eligibility of the propos
d association there to charter, and
is not at this time in position to ad
ise you definitely as to when this
an be done.
The funds available for loaning
mrposes are limited in amount and
he demand greatly in excess of the
supply. As equitable d isi ribut ion of
hese funds as was possible has been
made, but we have been unable to do
.nore than partly supply the borrow
ing requirements of-the associations
of our district already established
and on an operating basis. The situ
ition is one over which we cannot,
of course, exercise any control and,
while we hope that as the season ad
vances conditions will improve, we
in not know when funds for the
onipletion of business in excess of
the amount to which we are now
committed will be obtainable.
THE ABANDONED SHRINE
There's a little old church at the
forks of the road, a landmark, dis
mantled and grey. . . . where
once the warm fires of humanity
glowed, there's a column of ashes
today. Yes, an old country ehurch,
where the ravage of Time its plan
of destruction pursues. , ,
Where the pulpit, deserted, pathet
ic, sublime, looks down on the
worm-eaten pews.
, . . And, the Old co-iuregation
lies, sleeping, serene, where the
spread of "God's Acre" enthralls.
. They hear not the roar of
Humanity's tide, nor the plaint when
the whippoorwill calls. Thus,
the little old church, at the forks of
the road, divinely yet mutely holds
-way, till Time with his sickle, and
Tide with his goad, shall have swept
her last fragment away. , , ,
This house was the Mecca of sin
ner and saint, in the halcyon days of
her youth. From her Holy
of Holies to vestibule quaint, they
quaffed at the Fountain of Truth,
hut the spire in the City hath crown
ed in its might, a greater and grand
er abode -till, only the Angels may
pause in their flight, o'er the church
at the forks of the road.
