THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 421 



National Association for such information it is only natural to sup- 

 pose that other large concerns using honey will come to us as our 

 efforts become better known. Let me hear from associations, bee- 

 keepers or dealers putting up an individual service package. — E. B. T. 



Crops Should Not Be Grown in the Orchard. 



Clean cultivation of the orchard is an important factor in the 

 production of highly colored fruit according to F. B. Quinlan, of 

 Montrose County, Colorado. The sun's rays reflected from the 

 ground makes for a better growth and color to the apple. Mr. 

 Quinlan gives this as his observation in his own orchard- — a part of 

 which was cover-cropped and a part kept under clean culture 



The bee-men used to favor the planting of alfalfa and other 

 clovers in the orchards, but since the spray falling upon the bloom 

 beneath the trees has killed so many bees they have changed their 

 minds. The spraying question within the last year has assumed a 

 position of importance to Colorado bee-men. Either the fruit 

 growers' practice will have to change or the keeping of bees in fruit 

 districts will be given up. — W. F.
