Bee Keeping Coming to the
Front.
County Agent Camile along with
E. S. Pr?vost, of Clemson College,
has been getting some important
work done in the bee industry for
. the past two seasons. Since the price
of honey has been so promising and
sugar as high as it is now bee keep
ing has been very promising. The fol
lowing are demonstrators working
with bees in this county: Messrs E.
J. Mims, J. L. Mims, A. F. Covar, S.
M. Mays, Boyd Timmerman, and Dr.
B. F. Jones and Mrs. Mamie N. Till
man of Edgefield ' and Mr. L. R.
Branson of Cleora; Messrs. J. R.
Smith, M. M. Padgett, Monroe Swear
ingen of Trenton and Mr. L. Mike
Herlong of Johnston, R. F. D.
Many people still insist that bees
cause damage to fruit, and some
even assert that bees damage crops
by sucking nectar from the flowers.
Careful investigations prove that
these beliefs are not only not true
?bnt that bees are a great help in pol
lination of flowers, thus making crop
production possible. Bees do not
puncture fruit and suck the juices.
Observations of trained investiga
tors prove that bees visit fruit and
suck juices only after the skin- has
been broken.
Many bee-keepers are disappointed
at the failure of the entomologists
to meet requests for help. It is phy
sically impossible for the Extension i
Service bee specialist to meet prompt
ly all of the numerous requests, and
no schedule of his services can be
promised except to the demonstra
tion bee-yards. However, anxious bee
kepeers can be assured that every
minute of his time is employed :n
getting about as rapidly as possible
to answer calls for help.
Good queens will probably be
scarce this season, and all bee-keep
ers desiing queens should place or
ders promptly for July delivery.
Club orders will get queens at great
ly reduced rates.
Means Southern Trade Ex
pansion.
Nashville, Tenn., May 29.-It was
in Louisville and Nashville that the
Southeastern port boosters got their
real heartening encouragement. .
These cities "whooped things" up in
truly enthusiastic style. Louisville j
practically said that every pound of
freight she had for export would go
through the South Atlantic ports.
In Nashville the reception was
even more enthusiastic. Editorially
the Nashville Tennessean said:
"Nashville is the guest today of
125 live business men from South At
lantic parts. They are returning from
a two weeks' tour of the large cities
of the Middle West, where they have
carried the message of the advan
tages their cities have to offer as
ports for foreign trade.
"They have little reason to present
arguments. Their case states itself.
It must be obvious to anyone that
the closer route, the open gateway
for any freign trade from this sec
tion, is through these ports instead
of New York.
"This is especially the case for
shipments bound for South Ameri
can countries., Savannah, Ga., Jack
sonville, Fla., Brunswick, Ga., Wil
mington, N. C., and Charleston, S. C.,
furnish the natural outlet for foreign
trade from this part of the United
States.
Nashville welcomes the visitors.
The advantages to accrue from the
diversion of this trade through the
South Atlantic ports are mutual.
Nashville must handle much of it in
passage, while the port cities will re
ceive the advantage of its transmis
sion when it reaches them. Develop
ment of this idea will mean further
expansion of the South and its in
dustries."
