In older settled portions q. the state the bees have the delions, the locust trees and various other varieties of flowers to feed In the Basin, however, they on. must wait until the alfalfa is in bloom for their honey flow, and .the professional beekeepers have been feeding the bees and building up the hives into strong or well-i- s populated colonies, in anticipation of that period. The professional apiar-o- f sists bees are, therefore, ready now for the alfalfa bloom, which is be-- I ginning.

Alfalfa seed is a farming enterprise especially well adapted to the Uintah Basin and the more arid parts warrant scientific investigation and although the weather and climatic conditions have very much to do with success or failure of it, there a great deal of technical data which can be compiled so as to be the most value to us, and that is right here in the Uintah Basin, am informed from reliable sources that the site for the exper- - nt im- - station is a plot mediately east and on the north side the road from the new steel bridge across the Uintah river.
