Honey Crop and for 15>11 Judging from all we can learn through our correspondence, as well as other- wise, it seems that the honey crop for 1;>11, especially in the western part of the United States, is very limited, al- though in certain localities there is a fair crop. The eastern part of the United States, and particularly the New England States, seem to have had a good crop of honey. It may be that with sufficient rains there will be har- vested some fall surplus honey, and the bees may gather enough to insure a sufficient supply for their winter stores, so as not to reijuire feeding. Taking it all together, as we view it, there will be a shortage in the honey supply of the whole country, so that prices should be maintained about the same as last year, if not a little higher in some localities. Now that the price of honey has been raised over what it has been, to something nearly what it should be, during the past '1 or 3 years, a strong effort should be made by pro- ducers to keep it at least up to the present point, and certainly not permit it to 1)6 lowered again unless a bumper honey crop should be harvested, and, even then, there would not be enough honey produced to supply the popula- tion of the United States with all the honey they should consume. Comparing the present price of honey with the price of other table foods, surely honey is sufficiently low in price, and in many localities it is still too low. We are not in favor of bee-keep- ers being Shylocks, and demanding the uttermost farthing that can be possibly squeezed out of the public for their honey, but we do think that they ought to get
