Claims Early Buckwheat
Spoils ,Clover Honey Crop
The farmer and the 'beekeeper 'have
many interests in common which do
not appear at first glance. The farm-
er should and probably do'e's know
that the production of aisike and
sweet ciovrr, as well as buckwheat
seed, depends' on the cross-po1•linatien
by the homey ,bee. He should realize
that there is a d'eiiinit>e donnreetion be-
tween the number of 'bushels per
acre that he produces of these crops
and the number of successful bee-
ke'eper's in his neighborhood. • The
beekeeper is only too willing to ad-
mit that he could not exist wi't'hout
the 'help of the farmer, but he also
feels that the farmer, in many cases,
fails to co-otperarte with him in doing
the one 'thing that is to the mutual
advantage of both.
••The County of Hunan produces

to say .{that the pn1od'uetierc of white

The -bulk of the clos'e'r hone$ • is .
gathered i'etween July'1st and the
middle of August; and all the bee-
ke'e;per asks the farmer to do, is to
plant his buckwheat at such a time
that it will not conte into bloom be-
fore tl'e end of the first week in
Arignst. There 'is very little honey
in the buckwheat until it is fairly
ripe arni by that time the clover,

The only disadvantage front the
farm'er's viewpoint to the l'at'e sow-
i'n'g of buckwheat is the possib'i'lity of
an early frost .in August. Even ad-
lrnitt,in'g the chance of frost, certainly
the in'creas'ed production of seed and
the welfare of the honey indus'tny as
