QUESTION: What does a bee egg look like? ANSWER: Of course the bee egg is quite small. It looks more like a link of sausage than an egg. It is pearly white in color and can easily be seen with the naked eye, although thousands of bee keepers have never seen the tiny egg that the queen places on end in the bottom of the cell. There is only one queen' bee ' to lay the eggs in each hive. A good queen been will lay 2,000 eggs in 24 hours. This is equal to her own weight in eggs in a single day.

Drying hay, for Instance, In the tobacco barn, Is an estab lished practice and the number of farmers doing this Is increasing each year. Hybrid seed corn dry ers have proved very practical.

"Death benefits paid in the first half of this year throughout the country were 51 percent greater than in the cor responding period of 1945 even though mortality among policy holders generally is very near the record low rate and material ly below the 1945 rate. Aggregate ownership of life insurance in this country has risen 82 percent in the past eight years.
