Bee Producers Lay
Plans To Improve
Quality Of Honey
1
TjAXKING, Mich., Jan. B. OP) A
proposal to unite the various apiary
inspection services of the county to
cooperate with the government in the
eradication of foulblood from honey,
Is being considered by the American
Honey Producers' League. Tho gov
ernment would supply xhalf the inspec
tion funds under the plan contem
plated. -
B. F. Kindig, president of the leag
ue, said the prevalence of fofllblood
has been the greatest menace to suc
cessful honey production.
"Tho proposition being considered
calls for a thorough inspection and
cleanup in' cqch county," Mr. Kindig
said. "Federal funds would be avail
able when the state appropriation and
the training of inspectors was satis
factory to .the government. Limita
tions would ho provided against the
shipment of bees on combs into areas
already inspected."

TRAGUK, Jan. 10. UP) The sec
ond sale by auction within a few
months of art treasures of the collec
tion of the former Hungarian mag
nate, Palffy, was held recently. Al
though a number of rare treasures
passed into new bands, the sale was.
by no means satisfactory.
Foreign bidders were nottinvited
for two reasons the desire to keep
tho treasures within the country .'and
to ascertain the financial capacity
and interest in art among the Chech
oslovakian people.
While these conditions may linve
aTcomplishcd their purpose, they like
wise kept down the proceeds of the
sale, for in almost every case when a
bid of 5,000 crowns (about .$150) wns
reached, interest waned and many ob
jects much more valuable than, that
bid bad to be withdrawn. 1 ' '
