The bees in 1943 provided Cemada with the second largest honey crop in the history of the industry. The 32,5 million pounds of honey estimated for the past season is an increase of 35 per cent over the previous year, states C. A, Jamieson, Bee Division, Cen- Iran Experimental Farm Ottawa, Along with the increase in honey s a corresponding increase of approx- ceived the support 'due to it front the i farm people, Mr, Hill made an. urgent 1 ap1eal for more members and more 'enthusiasm among present members ii and then introduced one of the two : main speakers, Mr. James Shearer of Clinton, county agricultural represen- s tative, who spoke on "The County of t Huron and the War Effort." la IMr. Shearer congratulated Huron .° !county on its splendid achievement in exceeding its ;quota in the Victoryt loans also upon its contrubition of an ,estimated 2,500 men and women to the active forces out of a population t of 43,000. Huron county was probably,' let the top, he said, in the number of b air schools and the record of Col- borne township in the number of blood t 'donors was an enviable one. He' W stressed the important part farm wo-,s men had played in the war effort in s every way, 1 Huron county, its Mr. Shearer poin- ted out, is just about tops in hog pro- r ihuetion. The county produced 93;000,, t hogs before rho war and 1213,000 in t 1942, despite a critical labor shortage1 land 91 per cent, of Hurbn's hogs were in the two top or export grades. Me. n Shearer, stated one-tenth of all Wes tern grain to be brought to the East b carte to Huron, and in spite of poorer t crops here be felt production would It be very good this year, The Feder- S ation of Agriculture is only four years u old and has been responsible for gett- a ing Towered freight rates and subsid'- ti les' on butter oho s ilk i mately 35 per cent in the produetion of wax, As beeswax is essential in the manufacture of numerous war mater- als, this increase in supply is an lin- portant contribution. War uses fox beeswa.1 include adhesive tape for ealing shells, waterproofing and pro- ective coating for shells, belts, coils nil machinery and as protective cov- rings for fighter planes. Large quan- ities are also used in war plants for waxing cables and pulleys, in polialtes nd in improving insulation. By no means the least in value of he contribution of bees is froth their xtensive pollinating activity. The conomic value of pollination has een estimated to be fifteen to twen- y times greater than both honey and ax. By cross-pollation the bee as lets In the production of oil bearing eels, rubber plants, Iegume seed, units and vegetables The bees will also play an important olein the post war world by helping o produ•ee seed which will be shipped o devastated countries, ----V Reality in training has reached a ew high at ,Camp Borden.
