Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 117, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 May 1910 — Fighting Foul Bee Brood. [ARTICLE]

Fighting Foul Bee Brood.

B. W. Douglass, state entomologist, is out in the state effecting a working force of bee men to fight the foul brood in the next few weeks, the time accepted by experienced bee men as best suited for warfare against the pest. Mr. Douglass suddenly found his apiary department sadly crippled a day or two ago when Charles Demutn, head of the department, suffered severe al bruises, cuts, bee stings, etc., in a collision with an automobile on the highway near his farm near Peru. Mi. Demuth had prepared an extensive campaign against the foul brood and Mr. Douglass was compelled to abandon his regular look after it.
