BEE-KEEPING
Fargo, May 5.—Keen interest is being manifested among boys' and girls' clubs of North Dakota in the introduction this spring of bee-keeping projects, according to H. E. Rilling, state supervisor of extension work with juniors, who is issuing rules and suggestions for bee clubs in cooperation with Dr. H. L. Webster, entomologist, North Dakota Agricultural college. Bee projects have already been begun in Morton and Cass counties under the direction of the county agents.
Experience in handling bees and producing honey as given as the aim of the work, and similar to the procedure in other club projects full reports of the progress and success of the work and records of labor, expenses and income are being required of the club members. Final scoring on the work of a club worker will be made on the basis of honey production, profit on work and management, quality of honey produced, personal attitude toward work, and records and the final business report.
Ten projects including livestock crop, cooking and clothing work are in progress in 30 counties of the state, and the mark of more than 4000 members made last year is expected to be reached again this year, Mr. Rilling says.
