two OUR HONEY CROP CAN RE INCREASED Ten to Twenty Times as Much at a Very Small Cost LOSS IM BEES IS ORDINARILY SMALL Write to Department For Bulletin No. G8 5 on Honey Production. About 250,000.000 pounds of honey are produced annually in the United States, California being the leading State in the producton of this swoe.. Honey production in this country could be increased largvly?ton to twenty times the present > iold? "without an appreciable increase in the cost of production, for the raw material ?the nectar in flowa is is certain times practically unlimited. To produce more honey we just need more colonies of bees properly managed. The proposition i.- very simpl to state, but <lecidedly difficult to execute. Successful beekeeping requires a high degiee of skill, specia' training and faithful, persistent attention to the business, so any mark ed increase in bee-keeping hinges educational work among present and prospective beekeepers. Permanent courses in beekeeping arc b< ing inti .ldilPOfl i nip rliiill nvil r?r?I 1 r? *: *irwl extension work in beekeeping is now being conducted in many States. The United States Department of Agriculture is conducting emergency extension work in selected regions, where a considerable increase in the honey crop may reasonably be expected in the immediate future. Losses of bees by disease, principally foulbrood, range during the summer from nothing to 10 per centWinter losses of bees range from 10 to 15 per cent ,and in some States the loss was almost 50 per cent during the winter of 1916-17. Winter losses may be greatly reduced by 1 more careful attention. The honey production business, commercially, is getting more and more in the hands , of specialists, because disease and | winter losses diescourage many who are untrained and unable to proven', j these losses by proper treatment. Honey became established some j years ago as a seasonal product rather than a staple food for us*4 throughout th(. year. The bulk o: j the honey produced by farmer jls a side line, ;he bees were giv? n little attention and th0 honey wre- j yi 11 r*f?. 1 ?i* 'if > I r> nvrw rP.-?r> I"""" was marketed at low prices ciunn.,'1 i the autumn, and stocks wer< a v.i\Wy exhausted during the winter. Ther was little demand and practical!y n supply daring the spring and rummer. But honey is now handled in a largo way as to u staple food product j through the influence of commercial beekeeping, which has had a rapi i develpoment in recent years. Honey is produced in three form;: Comb honey, in 1-pound sections a commonly retailed; extracted or liquid honey, which has been removed for the comb; bulk or "chunk" honey, in which the comb is more or loss mixed with the liquid honey. From 1914 to 1917 the production of liquid honey has increased in proportion to the commercial output of comb and chunk honey. The bee. 1 are able to produce a larger quantity of honey if they are not compelled to build comb for it, ana when Ithe comb is emptied and replaced ,ri 1 the hive the bees are able, in periods oi noavy nectar secretion, to proecu immediately t > the storage of more honey.

SAVECOWPEAS FROM y LOSS BY WEAVILS Nothing Better For Feed Than Cowpea Hay the Farm- * ers Say. Thore is a large surplus supply of cowpea seed' in the country which should be planted or fed promptly to save it from the ravages of weevils, according to the committee on seed v stocks of the United States Depart- ^ ment of Agri'colture. The surplus is of varieties with colored seed which, ordinarily are not used for human food, hut which produce hay of excellent quality and seed which is a very desirable concentrated stock feed rich in pi-otein. Beginning with warm weather in summer the damigc to cowpea seed in storage >v weevils is likely to be ;* ry large, so that it is highly desirable that plans be made to utilize t ho enrnliK' ?_ * ?-*.I - A.1-- ' ? 1 ' * vis . oui|nui-i jjl UllipUV in tl'IMltional plantings, and where there is in excess above this, for feeding, oarticularly to hogs. It is urgent, the department specailists say, that the South, especially, should further increase its acreage of cow peas this year. Cow pea May High in Feeding Value. The cowpea hay, when properly ured, is of high feeding value, pracically equal to that of alfalfa. The Southern States should grow as early as possible the entire supply ?f hay they will need. Heretofore hc South has imported each year aige quantities of hay from the Jorth and West. Growing this hay 1 n the South will relieve the railways f a tremendous traffic. Cowpea seed, especially when .round, is a valuable stock feed. The experiments of the Alabama experiment Station have clearly shown hat cowpeas are practically equal to orn in feeding value for fattening and cowoeas in equal parts is far more satisfactory than either fed done. In similar experiments at *he South Carolina experiment Staion, the results indicated that cowoeas alone gave better results for fattening pigs than corn alone. However, the proper method is to feed the two in a mixture. Cowpea meal has also been found i very satisfactory feed for mules, especially in a mixture composed of one-third cowpea meal and two- ^ thirds corn-and-cob meal. Similar Mixtures may bo made with other grain feeds that are not rich in pro oin, as the cowpea seed is rich jn this material. o? . NOTICE TO CORN CLUB MEMBERS.
