BEE KEEPERS' OPPORTUNITY
Every bse keeper has as opportun­
ity to “do his bit” by increasing his
number of hives end seeing that ev­
ery colony is in first slam condition.
Tbs unfavorable season has, in many
instances, caused a depletion of stereo
to such a s extent that brood rearing
has practically ceased ia th | colony,
and in such cases it may be advisable
to do a little stim ulative feeding to
get brood rearing started at once.
It will be possible, through the Or-
tomologiat at O. A. Cn to got assist­
ance ia marketing the cron through
the U. 8. Department of H arkiO .

is groundless and there is real need
for every extra pound of honey that
can poaaibly bo produced.

Further than this, we am of tbs
opinion, after talking with a repre­
sentative of the Boutin company, that
should our County court fed that the
security for these taxes would be ren­

company doubts whether the county
would have sufficient security for the

to prevent the county from collecting

While the company feels justified
on more than one account in awaiting
the judgment of the courts in regard
to the taxes of 1018 and 1914 above
