I was disappointed in failing to find Mr. Wilder at his home in Cordele. Mr. Wilder is well known to . our readers and has written much about his local conditions for the Journal. Such notes as I was able to secure at Cordele are from others. Conditions are very different in central and south Georgia from those of north Georgia. From forty to seventy-five colonies are kept in a yard in the Cordele locality. Mr. Wilder has twenty yards in this vicinity, beside those at the Okefenoke swamp, and also different localities in Florida. Mr. Wilder is now taking it a little easier and working his bees on shares, giving his time to general su- pervision and to marketing his crops. His total crop was reported to be thirteen carloads of honey last year. Around Cordele his honey is gath- ered principally from poplar, tupelo, titi, gallberry and cotton. At Leslie, Georgia, I greatly en- joyed a visit with Mr. T. W. Living- stone, formerly of Iowa. Mr. Living- stone has never been able to secure as good crops of honey there as he did in Iowa, but he is very loyal to Georgia, for he feels that the mild climate has greatly prolonged his life. Mr. Livingstone makes his own foun- dation by the dipping process. He may be seen in the picture with the instrument with which he dips it. This makes a sheet of just the right width and length for a Langstroth frame. For th
