HONEY-PRODUCERS' SERVICE 



By Wesley Foster 



I believe that I can help any beekeeper 

 with a problem to solve — whether supply, 

 producing, financial or selling — if he will 

 write me a letter or pay me a visit and 

 explain it to me. 



Queens. 



We are operating 2,500 colonies of bees 

 this year. They are building up strong and 

 are all ready now for the honey flow. At 

 present we are re-queening quite a few. We 

 expect these queens to pay for themselves 

 twice over. One of the best queen breeders 

 in the United States is raising our queens 

 for us from selected stock. If you need 

 some good, warranted queens, unless you 

 order now it will be too late. 



Supplies. 



We are carrying a comj^lete line of sup- 

 plies and honey containers. You can save 

 some money on every order by buying of us. 

 Beeswax. 



We need some more beeswax. Have you 

 any to spare? We can always use it at the 

 highest market price. 



A New Can. 



J would like to tell you about a new 5- 

 gallon honey can that I now have. It is by 

 far the best can that I have ever seen — prac- 

 tically one-piece. The edges are rolled and 

 are soldered by a special process inside and 

 out. It has a 3-inch cap, which as you know, 

 makes it easy to fill. We are the only ones 

 handling this new can. It costs only a cent 

 more than the old type. 



Be sure to drop me a line at once in care 

 of The Foster Honey & Merc. Co.

 liees in double-walled hives, single-

Special Notices by A. I. Root 



SWEET CLOVER^ A CORRECTION. 



On page 329, at the bottom of the left-hand 

 column, where it says " October, 1919," it should 

 read October, 1920. Such a growth of sweet clover 

 in three months would be indeed wonderful. Fif- 

 teen months sounds more sensible. 



WILL THE SALOONS AND THE LIQUOR-TRAFFIC OBEY 

 OUR OHIO LAW ? 



As we go to press this 19th day of May the 

 above question confronts us. Ex-president Taft* says, 

 in substance, now comes the question of loyal citi- 

 zenship ; and will we as a people obey the laws of 

 our State, or wnll we obey only when the law "comes 

 our way," and then " trample it undei" foot," when 

 it happens to go the other way ? 



THE NEW WHITE SWEET CLOVER THAT GROWS A.S 



HIGH AS YOUR HEAD AND BLOSSOMS 



PROFUSELY THE FIRST SEASON. 



After ray mention of this new sweet clover (see 

 p. 110, Feb. issue, 1919; p. 629, October, 1918), 

 there were so many orders that our stock of seed 

 was exhausted. Since I have returned from Flor- 

 ida I have found some seeds from the old stalks 

 of last year that germinate a fair per cent. You 

 may have a little pinch of this seed if you care for 

 it. Just send us an addressed stamped envelope. 

 If you have sent once and did not get any seed 

 you may just send a postal card. If you secure 

 even one single plant it may be well worth while.
