Drouth and hot winds have stopped the honey 

 flow in this section for the season. Former estimate 

 of yield is too high. One hundred pounds will bo 

 a fair average, unless red clover yields later. Bass- 

 wood matured prematurely by the hot dry winds.

From Producers' Associations. 

 There is no activity worth mentioning in comb 

 honey, and extracted honey in large quantities is 

 entirely closed out in this section. Prospects for 

 a crop are fairly good.

The Opinions of Honey Producers Themselves 



Early in June we sent to actual honey produc- 

 ers the following: questions: 



1. How does the honey flow thus far compare 

 with normal in your locality? Give answer 

 in per cent. 



2. What is your estimate of the 1922 crop as 

 compared with a five-year average? Give an- 

 swer in per cent. 



3. What price are producers in your locality ex- 

 pecting to receive for the new crop at their 

 station if sold in large lots? (a) For ex- 



as Reported to Gleanings in Bee Culture. 



tracted honey? (b) for comb honey? 



4. What prices are expected when honey is sold 

 to retailers in small lots? (a) Comb honey, 

 fancy and No. 1 per case? (b) extracted honey 

 in 5-lb. pails or other retail packages? 



5. Is there any of last year's crop still in the 

 hands of producers in your locality? 



6. Has the swarming been worse than usual in 

 your locality this season ?
