Everything is high, whether in the line of food or in the other lines—clothing, building material, etc. Some of our friends accuse the "profiteers" of causing the high prices. We believe that the cheapness of money is at the bottom of it. Is the farmer a profiteer because hogs are 20 cents per pound, cattle 16 cents and corn $ Everything is on the same scale.

McCray, whose death was mentioned in the July number, was one of the scientists who helped diagnose bee diseases. In our account of the work undertaken at Washing- ton, by the Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, we gave, in February, 1916, a descrip- tion of the work of Dr. McCray, as bacteriologist in the examination of samples of diseased brood received from beekeepers in all parts of the country. This, however, is not the only work due to this eminent worker, on sub- jects that interest beekeepers. Dr. Mel ray, in connection with Dr. G. F. White, wrote Bulletin No. 671 of the Bureau of Entomology on "The Diag- nosis of Bee Diseases by Laboratory M ; More recently Dr. Met. ray had been State Bacteriologist of Montana, and while thus engaged carried on inves- ti
