CANADIAN HONEY PROSPECTS Honey production in 1934 will de- pend targely on the number and the strength of colonies that survive the winter; the number of package bees imported aud the weather conditions during the present spring and early summer. In most sections of the eountrrythe ees went... jnta,. winter quarters in fairly - good condition and the subsequent stendy cold weather ‘has favored satisfactory wintering. The clovers which are the main source of surplus honey! over the big- gest part. of the Dominion suffered to sole extent from the drought last swmimner but entered the winter in a fair condition, The heavy snowfall of the past winter also gave better protection against winter. killing of clovers than has heen the case for the past two or three years.

DANGER OF OVER-MULCHING Cccasionally muleh materia in or- chards is used too freely and this is a dangerous. practice, for; while phenom. inal resmlts may be obtained in tree growth and crop, the fruit will invart- . bly color poorly and ripen slowly. A mulch conserves moisture, adds nuivi- ents to the soil, nnd regulates soil temperattire, thus creating ideal con- ditions for assimilation of soi] solution and tree growth, As a consequence the growth of mulched trees is vigorous and rapid. Where a correet rmount of snitible material has been used as a muleh it shoukl wnder favorable wert- the conditions he almost entirely de- composeil ly the latter part of snm- mer, Accordingly the roots whicu have had an abundance of moisture tnd plant food are suddenly deprived uf this condition. Also as the tree has besa growing vigorously and using large quantities of moisture.and plant food, any surplus which may remain in the sofl after the decomposition of the muleh has taken place will be ra-. }idly used up and the tree forced to Inative and ripen off the wood, This crentes a condtion that is entirety fa- vorable te the development of .caloy. If too much material has bden used us a muleh, a favorable soil condition may be maintained zantil Jate-in the senson, This wil nfffonis retard the dey lopment of colorsbut will keep the tree ih a soft growing condition until lute in the season, with the consequent possibility of severe winter injury, fuvepe is’ the e .wesu suit. ¢httion with: the: spitits: of | the dead) and on Rweltth Day, at -Bpiphany, and on ‘other ocensions, = ;
