IMPORTANCE OF BEES This year will go down in the history of clover seed as almost unusual, for the clop was almost alarmingly short. This shortage seems to be due to nothing less than the small numbers of bumble and honey bees. The relation between a good clover seed production and bees is so evident that every farmer should take it into account. Due to the scarcity of bumble bees the red clover crop was very small. The large red clover did well where bees were kept. Bees can work this clover more easily and have a greater preference for it than for the little red clover. Alsike did exceptionally well where there were plenty of honey bees. Where there were no bees, there was no crop. The following example proves the .value of bees in this respect. A field of Alsike clover in Middlebury' township, situated near a house where bees were kept made 44 bushel of seed to the acre; a field 2 miles away made 2 bushel to the acre, while a field over 3 miles away was not worth threshing.

true here 1$ true the state over. Clover should yield 4 to 7 to 8 bushel of] seed to the acre, but the average yield in this section is only about 2 bushel to the acre. I Not only do bees make the clover seed crop, but they do much to improve the fruit and vegetable crop. The Judson Fruit Farm where I had bees has a large crop of apples. The peach crop also was good. I also had bees at the Clark Fruit Farm and they have plenty of fruit. The bees make the crop by carrying pollen from flower to flower causing fruit to set. You cannot raise sweet cherries without bees and very little of any kind of fruit. The same is true of vegetable raising. Once more I say. let us condemn the skunk that eats the best friend of man. Let us awake to the importance of bees. Without them this Wfculd be a sour old world in more ways than one. Without bees —no clover seed, no alfalfa seed, very little fruit, and few vegetables, and scarcely any flowers, and none of the honey we so much enjoy. —S. W. Mace, Middlebury.
