• How to Start Beekeeping
Due to an increasing demand and
the good prices received for honey
' many people are being attracted to
beekeeping as a means of.making a
livelihood or of supplementing a re-
duced income from other sources,
Beekeeping, however, like all Oiled
lines of endeavour requires expt•.r-
fence to make it a successful under-
taking, and many a beginner ha,,
finally given up in disgust just fur

The set is quite patchy and Is esti-

Western Ontario. The total produe.
lien for the Pruviuee is expected
to be in the neighborhood of 127,500
bushels as against 190,800 bushels
last year. Plum trees are repo`t-
ed to be in a healelty condition and
fruit is sizing well with practical:$
comi•Iete freedom from fungus ontl
insect pests, except in poorly spray-
ed orchards. The June crop was
comparatively light and total produc-
tion is placed at 56.00u bushels as
compared wi.h 41,200 'bushels in

promising with yield estimated at
503,000 bushels as compared with
403,300 bushels last year. Grape

ed. Grape Leaf Hopper is well

The acreage of processing to-
matoes in Western Ontario is esti-
mated of 25,700 acres as against
16,600 acres last year, and In East-
ern Ontario at 8,970 acres as com-
pared wibh 4,930 in 1936, The
crop is developing well with Pres -

age and much larger yield per
acre expected than lest year when
the crop was affected by drought,
Think It Over
A driver travelling in his car at
the rate f 50 miles per hour goes
55 feet from the time he seas an
emergency uniti his foot is on tine
brake pedal, Then it require; 111
feet to bring the ear to a stop. These
figure are based on the brakes be-
ing in good condition. A mechanical
defect would mean that the driver
would require a greater distance to
bring his ear to a standstill. The
fact that the speed limit is fifty
miles per hour doesen'1 mean that
Sem can stop any quicker than you
were ever able to.
Advance Is Likely
In Autumn Prices
For Car Models
Increase Is Believed inevitable Due
to Higher Costs

Reckless Driving!
If you drive recklessly and have not made up your mind
to stop it, you are going to find yourself in serious trouble
-- soon! The Department of Highways is determined to
put reckless drivers off the road and keep them off. If you
need your car in business, stop and think for a minute what
would happen if you had your driving license cancelled.
You might lose your job. But what is your job compared to
the death, crippling, or injuring of a good citizen!
Reckless drivers ,are criminals going along our highways
breaking laws, maiming and killing defenseless people.
Our laws are adequate and fair. Obey them and you will
keep -out of trouble; break them and take the consequences.
You cannot say you have not been
warned. Stop speeding! Stop cutting
in ! Stop passing on hills. Stop taking
chances of any kind. If you must
drive slower than the average traffic,
keep well to the right side of the
highway or use the side roads. Do
not block other traffic.
ONTARIO MOTORISTS
WILL CO -OPERA TE
to put reckless drivers where they belong.
Here is what to do. When you see a motorist
driving in a manner dangerous to the public,
take his number, make a careful note of the
actual time and place and when you reach
your destination write to the Motor Vehicles
Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto,
giving full details. We do not invite reports
of minor infringements of the traffic laws;
you are requested to use sound judgment.
We will deal adequately with offenders.
