Beenaan. an ex perienced commercial beekeeper who lives at Bly, has been appointed deputy apiary Inspector for Lake, Klamath and Jackson counties, re ports the state department of agri culture. Beeman has already as sumed his new work, in which he replaces E. K. Xichols of Ashland, who has resigned to devote his foil time to his -own apiary of some 250 colonies. Beekeepers are crowding for loca tions In Oregon this year, declares A. Burr Black, state apiary super visor for the department, following a recent survey. This situation Is excellent for the farmer, but Is going to result In a low honey yield per colony for some bee. owners. Black cites several places where the bee population has grown like a mushroom. In the John Day valley there are today 1200 colonies where usually are found from 125 to 300. In the Brownsville area of the Wil lamette valley, this season has brought a gain of 1200 colonies. In Klamath county nearly a dozen commercial outfits with from 200 to 1000 colonies are on hand, com pared with the usual three or lour commercial beekeepers. Baker coun ty today has more than two times as many bees as a year ago. In the newly developed Culver region in Jefferson county, the increase, has been from almost nothing to over a thousand colonies. The increased number of bees is due to two factors. One Is the arrival of newcomers to Oregon to engage In the bee business: the other Is the fact that this year for the first time since early in the war beekeepers are able to Increase their hives. Short age of supplies and equipment pre vented that increase In recent years.

Of ferings were rather scarce, especial ly of wheat feeds, and standard mlllrun and middlings advanced )3 a Ion. Feed wheat, outs, and corn de clined about tl.OO a ton at Port land, while barley was unchaiuted for the week. Chicago corn futures were up and down but closed on July 30 a little lower than a week before. September corn declined more than the other futures. Nationally, commercial feedstuffs markets also strengthened, con trary to the decline in teed grains. The United States index of whole sale feedstuffs prices rose nearly 5 points, about 2 per cent. The feed grain price index, however, fell 7.4 points, nearly 3 per cent. These adjustments brought the relative prices of feedstuffs and feed grains more nearly into normal relation ships. The greatest gain was made In wheat feeds over the country gen erally, but oilseed meals and alfalfa ! meal were also higher. The supply of oilseed meals was reported to be I diminishing. Production of -wheat I millfeeds continued at a high level. ! - Feeding ratios in July have aver I aged somewhat more favorable for both dairymen and poultrymen In I the country as a whole, than a year ' ago. That was owing to greater advances In prices for eggs and but tertat than for feeds. At the middle of June, a pound of butterfat would buy about 19 pounds of a representative dairy ration, against 18. S pounds a year before. A dozen eggs would buy about 12 pounds of a representative poultry ration, compared with 9.3 pounds a year previous when eggs were much lower In price. . . Corn Sweeter In Afternoon Sweet corn picked during the late morning or afternoon Is sweeter than that harvested early in the morning. "That is a timely garden reminder from County Agent C. A. Henderson, who explains that sugar Is stored In the corn during the day and changes to starch at night. A second pointer for getting top quality in home grown garden products is to remove the tops from root crops very soon after digging. While in the ground, the plant feeds from ie soil: but when the plant Is dug. the tops draw upon the food stored In the root and thus reduce its value. This applies to all root crops. Including beets, carrots, turnips and pars nips for example. If ground is available in good shape for planting, this Is a good time to plant some fall spinach, mustard, turnips, radishes, and let tuce. Henderson adds. These are nutritious foods that will be help ful to the family budget later on.

For his own good and (or that o( the Industry aa a whole, the dairy man should follow a sound program of using sires or sons of proved aires from tested cow families. That Is the advice given member of Oregon Dairy Herd Improvement associations In a recent letter from H. P. Ewalt. extension dairyman at Oregon State college, Corvallls. . When dairy breeds are crossed Indiscriminately and the offaiirlng are kept tor dairy purposes, much that has been gained through years of selective breeding Is lost, Ewalt asserted. Two animals thus mated may bring about an entirely new combination of factors In the off spring. Some unusually good In dividuals may result, but the per centage of mediocre and worthless animals Is too high to follow this practice. Tile specialist declared, "There Is no sound reason for using beef or dual purpose breed bulls oa dairy stock. The use of a scrub bull on dairy cows is a waste of time and money ". . ,.
