Had Deep Snow in Kansas. Our winter was very nice until about Jan. 24th, when there was a very cold snap which lasted four days; about Feb. 11th it snowed hard all day, and the high wind drifted the snow badly, so that bees on the summer stands had to be dug out after sev- eral days. Drifts 6 to 8 feet deep were not uncommon. The snow was 8 inches to a foot deep on the level. This winter had been splendid for every day flights up to the middle of January. Last fall we had a good honey season, and the bees on the summer stands have wintered well. F. M. HOGAN. Elk Falls, Kans., Feb. 32. Roburs 'nd Robin'.
