Show TAGS TWO ire the piod beekeepers in who from year ot year Those Utahf colonies their make yield good crops of honey, and those who are incompetent, id being determined thin year, in the opinion of Dan II. Hillman, state bee inspector. The good beekeeers are likrly to get near a normal honey crop, but the second rate krejicrs, or 44 as ililluian fanner beckrciers, terms them, "are not likely to fiod The the season a profitable one. good beekreikTd have been feeding their colonies during the spring to build up their strength to enabh them Who to gather the iieelar from the alfalfa and sweet clover fields and store surplus honey. The climatic conditions during the epring were such that the early spring flowers were below normal in nectar. When such conditions arise, it ia pointed out by Hillman, the bcea are not up to normal strength and therefore when the main honey season eomea on are not as active as they should be. Fur some mysterious reason, the dandelion, locust and almond blossoms did not yield heavily in nee-tthis spring. This first honey flow, he continued, is essential to a successful honey season. The first flow give the colonies strength and put them in good shape for the main sea- ar son. Good beekeejiera, cays Hillman, did not take any eliances when they saw their bees failing to gather nectar early. Without delay they purchased sugar and made a thin syrui, which they fed the bees. This artificial feed i ing is considered good beekeeping practice; it keeps the queen bee laying eggs. If there is no honey in the early spring, the queen bee quits laying eggs and there are no young brood in the hive. In practically every honey producing district of the state, save pussikly the Uintah Basin, the spring neetar supply was extremely low. There are no indications, however, that the nectar supply in alfalfa and sweet clver blossoms will be other than normal. If the. present indications are borne out, says the state inspector, the crop this year will be about 75 per cent normal. The bulk of the honey flow comes the first pf July and ti the last of August, but this Year Mieves it will be earlier than usual. He fixes the kouey flow dates at July 1st to about August 20th. It is almost imiossible, comments Hillman, to forecast with accuracy what the honey season will bring. Last year, when everything pointed to a big yield, the flow suddenly was eut off, he says. This year the same thing may happen or the opposite may take place, dejiending upon climatic conditions," he adds. In normal seasons Utah producers approximately 4,000,000 pounds of honey. At present the outlook in the Uintah Basin is the best of any part of the state. But, insists Hillman, the competent beekeeper who helped his liees through the spring period by feeding them sugar will have a honey crop regardless of what art of the state he may live in.

All of which Is interesting to the taxpayer who helps Xtj that $48 a page. If you want to fix this beginning of the Government Printing Office, why the deal was pat over the very day that Abraham Lincoln was Inaugurated President. The federal government agreed to buy for $135,000 the printing plant of Cornelius Wendell and a little later John Heart, the first superintendent of public printing, took ever the premises and put In operation the Government Printing Office. Today the office occupies a building worth $4,000,0u0; operated equipment worth $3,500, 000 ; employs over 4,000 operatives and turna out an annual product of more than $12,000,000. And, mind you, this Government Printing Office la a separate and distinct establishment from the Ilurean of Engraving and Printing of the Treasnry Department, which nyikee the money and stamps and doea an enormous amount nf other work.

The stereotype plates are made in the foundry ns the type pages rush in from the linotype room and are whisked away to the presses, especially designed and built for printing the Record and publications of similar size. e There are tgro Hoe presses, ed to print signatures of four to sixty-fou- r pages, and to fold, guther and paste or wirestlteli the separate signature at the rate of 12,000 copies an hour. From the gathering machine the copies go to a continuous trimmer, and the finished copies progress along to the nearby mailing tables, where they are wrapped and carried by moving belts to mnll racks ut the end of the tables. As rapidly aa the sacks are filled they are dumped into a ctjate and tranxrted by a belt conveyer through a tunnel to the city post office, where they are transferred to the Union station and placed on outgoing trains, all wltldn live minatee after leaving the Government Print-lo- g Office. Thus 850 sacks of Record are dispatched nightly when congress Is In session. And the type for the Record must he held for thirty days for any necessary reprint work.
