The main park roads, except across the high passes, are in good condition for travel and the glorious spring sunshine makes mo- toring a delight. So each succeed- ing year brings larger numbers of motorists to the park in these early weeks of the season. Last year 1037 ears were registered during the days Mary 22, 23, and 24, the largest number for any like period up to that time. A number of improvements will add to the pleasure of visitors this year. One of the most important of these will be the new motor camp- site on Tunnel mountain. The !pr- imer campsite at the junction of the Bow and Spray rivers had to be re- linquished on account of the exten- sion and re -modelling of the Banff golf links, Mit the -new- campsite promises to be even 1110T8 delightful. It is situated on the mountain slope overlooking the beautiful Bow valley and there are fine views of the sur - sounding peaks. The camp is one of the most thoroughly equipped and modern in the Canadian Weet. The: site was laid out by a landscape ar- chitect and is equipped with water facilities, sewers, and electric light. . Several shelter houses, community kitchens, and baths add to the con- venience of travellers, while the close proximity of the .camp to Banff will make the procuring of supplies i an easy matter. The privilege of , camping may be enjeyed for a none bud charge; this year a special rate of two dollars permits the motorist to camp at any government campsite in the three adjoining parks Rocky Mountains, Yoho and Kootenay during a period of thirty days. The building of the Kicking H011430 Trail, -which opened the gates of •1 Yoho park, and of the Breeff-Wincler- in-ore highway which traverses the ; Rocky Mountains and Kootenay peeks have made these three reserves vir- tu.ally one play -ground so far as the I motorist is concerned.- Today nearly I all visitors to .1.3anff go on to Lake Louise which is only 37 miles away, and thence across the Kicking Horse 1 Peas into Yoho park and on to Field, , int additional distance of 1,6 miles. 1 Last year hundreds of motorists also , took the complete circle tour, pro- ceeding westward from Field to Gel - den, thence south by the Columbia River road to Firlands, British Col- 1 timbia, and thence east again by the' Banff -Windermere highway to Rocky Mountains park, A through motor- 1 bus .service Will this year be provided so that even those visitors Who do n04 bring their oWn cars may enjoy • the delights of crosskig the Continl , Rockies in this open-air a-nd open -sky Travnliers may now, if they de:dve, lea:e the train at Calgary, take the motor -bus there and ni tu Banff, Amy as long, there as they wish then go on to Lake Louise, Wapla Lake, Field. kimnrald Lake, 'Yoh°, Valley, and Golden, where they may again re-enter the train.

IMPORTANCE OF SWARM CONTROL At one time the skill of a bee- keeper was measured by the number of swarms he obtained from his apiary, but at the present time honey production is the index of success. Natural swarming is the bees' meth- od of snaking increase but coming, as R does, just prior to or during the main honey flow, it greatly lessens the storing capacity of the apiary, Furthermore, there is always the danger of laving bees through ab- sconding swarms. After a colony has made its first preparations for swarming, there is usually a slow- ing -up of field work, and when the swarm issues this work may cease al- together, for it is the field force of the colony that goes to make up the swarm. Should nectar be coating in at the rate of ten to twenty pounds per day at the time of swarming, it will readily be seen that this loss of time on the part of the bees will have an adverse effect on the crop stored. As the colony ,from which the swami issues is deprived -of its field bees, it can no longer be expect- ed to gather a crop of honey. Should the beekeeper be lucky enough to capture the swathe and return it to the colony from which it came, the loss in honey will not be so etenat as where the swarm is hived on a new stand, the time lost by the bees in preparing for and swarming, how- ever, means lost honey. Fortunately the bees give ample warning when they ore preparing to swarm. A thorough examination once every 9 or 10 days will enable the beekeeper to forestall natural swarming. The bees will, in the majority of cases, abandon their preparations if suffis dent room is given them to store surplus - nectar or the queen bee given More room in the brood nest. Shade and ventilation during the hot, test part of the summer alio aid in reel the tendency. For those colonies that insist on swarming, de - queening or separation of queen and brood, will stop them.

It is true no trees grow north of the timber line and that there are ! certain areas lacking in vegetation but the greater part of the region is so far from being barren that it actually supports at the present time in addition to the f'urbearers and musk -oxen, hundreds of thousands of caribou.

JASPER PARK IS POPULAR 'T°he National Parks of Canada are I growing in popularity, both with Canadians and with visitors from other meanies, according to a report from the Canadian National Railways hotel de- partment, based upon the number of visitors accommodated during the season of 1927 at Jasper Park Lodge, the rail- ways' hotel which is situated in Canada's largest National Park in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Not only are the numbers of United States citizens greater than in previous years, but the registras tion figures show a growing tendency on the part of Canadians themselves to take advantage of the magnificent play- grounds which have been set aside for them, Of total registrations, for periods longer than one day, numbering 6,500, approximately 20500 registered from points in Canada, a greater registration of Canadians themin any previous year, Of the 6,500 guests who registered at the Lodge during the 1927 season, 3,600 were from points in the United States, the state of California leading tvith 840 registrations.. Other states largely repre- sented were Illinois with 40; New York State, 548; Minnesota, 251; Ohio, 208; Pennsylvania 161 and Alichigan 83, Of those registering from Canada, 278 were from Quebec; 978 from Ontario,. 455 from Manitoba; 395 from 'British Colum- bia; 358 from Alberta; 231 from Saskat- chewan and the balance from the Mari- time provinces. There are several reasons for the grow- ing popularity, of Jasper Park Lodge, ac- cording to A, S, McLean, General Superintendent of Canadian Natiortal Hotels, The building of additional high. ways and trails in the park, making the distant beauty spots mote accessible to visitors, the construction of chalets at such beauty spots as Medicine and Mali- gue Lakes and the spreading fettle of Canada's finest scenic golf course being among them. At Medicine and Malignd Lakes -the latter the largest glacial lake in the Canadian Rockies, chalets hate been built for the convenience of trail riding parties and trails have berm 181- 1)00100 80 that the journey of 81111 3' miles throegli the mountains is delightful and without hardship. There is Also the fact that during the past season the area of the ark has-been extended to 5000 square miles last taking in the magnificent Columbia ice6elds section, one of the finest big game terri- tories In the Rockies and comprising tile largest icefield in Canada, At the conclusion of their convention at Edmonton this year, the members of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Asso- ciation will visit Jasper Park Lodge and t will spend a short time in this magnificent If mountain playground,
