TOWN HALL THURSDAY 8:30 p.m. Poor Honey Crop prospects for a honey cron this season are about the poorest we have-ever had. according to Mr. W. F. Abbott, the local apiarist. Honey, he says, at present will not average ten pounds to the hive. During the past two weeks owing to cold and wet weather the hives have gone back. This is determined by keep­ ing a record of the weight of the hive. What the buckwheat or late clover will produce in the way of honey is yet to be seen.
