American Hee Journall March, 19 lo. who is interested in comb honey alonet does not care to read through an entire article only to find when through with the article that it is of interest only to the man who works for extracted honey. Especially in a crowded time it would be a convenience if the comb- honey producer could have a depart- ment to himself, and also the producer of extracted honey. But when it comes to putting such a plan into actual prac- tice, it is not so easy as might be sup- posed. In reality, the number of arti- cles that are of interest only to one or the other class of producers is very small, and it is to be feared that if all the other articles in any one number were to be assigned to one or the other departments the one who did the as- signing would have a rather impossible task. Take the January number of the American Bee Journal. About 88 per- cent of the items and articles are of equal interest to both classes of pro- ducers, and it would be impossible to say whether they should go under the head of production of comb or of ex- tracted honey. Of the remaining mat- ter, the bulk of it refers to bulk comb honey, and while this belongs to comb rather than extracted, still there is some extracted honey in the case. Only one article can fairly be said to belong exclusively to the extracted de- partment, and although a larger num- ber refer to comb than extracted, they are not entirely without interest to ex- tracted men. This leads to a question whether really more attention is given to ex- tracted honey than to comb. Possibly the January number is exceptional, but the likelihood is that there are not lacking those who think comb honey gets the lion's share of attention. The foregoing count is without ref- erence to the Question-Box, which stands in a class by itself, there being no rejections, but all questions sent being answered, and these questions ought to show pretty clearly in what the question
