1 Suggestions Offered To Beekeepers Of County By J. W. Dickson; Need For Honey And Bees-Wax Is Great Because of the sugar shortage and the government demand for beeswax used in building air planes and other implements of war, County Agent Julian Glaz ener is now stressing the impor tance of promoting and expand ing the bee industry in this coun ty. He has requested J. Wade Djpk son of Brevard, who is an author ity on bee-keeping, to write a se ries of articles to be published in The Times. Mr. Dickson has made a study of bee-keeping for the past fifty years and has had a great deal of experience in raising bees. Mr. Dickson has also offered his as sistance to the bee-keepers of the county. His first article is printed be low: TO THE BEEKEEPERS OF TRANSYLVANIA In going over a portion of the county since the early fall of 1942, I have found in different sections of this area quite a few diseased colonies, a fair estimate would probably be about 10 per cent, a heavy infestation for the deadly disease, FOUL BROOD, and unless the beekeepers put forth the fullest possible, effort in controlling this disease, our coun ty will within the next two or three years be doomed so fa: as the producing of honey is con cerned. Now let’s see as briefly as possible just what this wilt to tal up to. According to statistics, this state produces on an average $1, 500,000 honey and by-products annually. Then, according to the best authority, the honey bee is worth 14 times as much as pol linators as for the entire honey crop. How many of us actually think of what the honey bee is worth to agriculture? NOW A WORD ABOUT FOUL BROOD. There are two types of Foul Brood, viz., American and Euro pean. As the name implies, the brood only is subject to this dis ease. The American is by far the most deadly of the two. So far CORN’S TAXI Prompt Service Day and Night Careful Drivers Phone 466 Moving. Get our rates all the foul Brood found in the county has been of the American type. Foul Brood is carried from sick colonies to well ones by rob ber bees going in after a colony dies out and getting the remain ing honey and carrying perhaps in every direction to well colo nies for a radius of probably three to four miles, especially at this season of the year when there are no flowers in the fields. MAY WE SUGGEST THE FOL LOWING? If you have not had any experience with Foul Brood it is even more important that you have all your colonies inspec ted at once by a person who knows bee-keeping. By heeding this request you will not only be benefitting yourself, but will be helping in the war effort in food production. This help in inspec tion and other phases of bee keeping can be had without cost by notifying the County Agent’s office and making request for the assistance needed. Where disease is found, use au thorized methods of control. Be ware of quack, or superstitious remedies. Either will be costly. ANOTHER IMPORTANT MAT TER FOR IMMEDIATE ATTEN TION—Last year was one of the poorest years for the production of honey in the history of bee keeping, to take the states as a whole. Therefore, many colonies went into winter quarters with very little honey, many have al ready perished. If all colonies are not looked after immediately and fed by a good method of feeding where necessary to feed, the loss will be surprisingly high within the next week or ten days To mix syrup for feeding, use granulated sugar (by no means brown sugar) and warm water equal parts. The syrup should be put inside the hives in properly punctured friction top tin buck ets. Be careful not to carelessly expose this syrup around in the yard as it is easy to get x'obbing started at this season of the year and that will usually result in the loss of all weak colonies, and in exceptional cases the entire yard.

GLANCING BACK AT BREVARD -♦ Taken from the files of The Sylvan Valley News, beginning 1895. w (From the File of March, 1906) Once more Brevard has a night watchman. Coleman Galloway has secured sufficient subscriptions and commenced duty this week. E. A. Aiken’s family left on Thursday for Greenville, S. C., where they will make their future home. M. B. Waters has been elevated to the responsible position of street overseer and is making things hum on Main street. There was quite a pretty wed ding at V. B. Scruggs’ residence on March 15, when his daughter, Susie, was married to Elzie Tins ley in the presence of a number of their friends. E. T. Henning, N. P., offciated. P. A. Aiken and family have moved to the Lyon cottage on Oaklawn avenue. The new passenger steamer of the Puette Brothers was launched on Wednesday, and as soon as the engine and running gears can be put in, will be ready for service. One more attraction for Brevard is a steamboat ride on the far famed French Broad river. The wisdom (?) of our board of aldermen is truly wonderful. Instead of opening new streets to induce an increased population they have commenced street work by tearing up and destroy ing the very best part of the best street in town. Main street in front of the court house is the one place where no street work has ever been requir ed and breaking the natural rock pavement here will result in a mudhole that will damage the town and everybody in it, and benefit nobody. When the time comes for paving Main street, grading will be in order, but until that time comes the News is un alterably opposed to this useless waste of the people’s money. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Whitmire, both of whom have been very sev erely ill during the past week, are now convalescent. We notice that drain tile has been delivered out on Broad street extension, indicating that some move is being made toward opening the street. This move has been delayed until those who have bought trees for beautifying their lots have planted them else where. In view of the fact that the county board of education has or dered an election for voting on a special tax for the ejection and maintenance of a graded school in Brevard, it is proposed to erect immediately in the center of the town a 2-story brick building, the second story of which will be fitted up for the use of various lodges, will be wired for electrici ty and constructed with a view to the best accommodations of all interested. A lot has been pur chased on Broad street opposite the Aethelwold hotel, which will give ample room for the building contemplated. $3,000 has already been subscribed and the lot paid for. There seems to be no doubt but that the balance of the $3,000 will be quickly raised and that ground for this building will be broken within the next 60 days. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our many friends for their numerous acts of kindness and words of condolence during the death of our husband and father, Rev. J. F. Scott. We are also very grateful for the lovely floral tributes. Mrs. J. F. Scott and Family. At FIRST SUN OF A C OV*o w6«6 USE M* TARBS.
