The train of beekeeping is mov-ing ahead, and you are necessarily movingAvith it whether yoii act as engineer or arepaying your fare as a passenger, or arejust taking a ride on the trucks. By the way. Dr. Erie IMillen, East Lan-sing, Michigan, is the Secretary of the Na-tional Beekeepers Association, and he isselling tickets at $ to those who wishto ride in a Pullman coach.

NOVEMBER 15, 1916 1069. Ironweed, smartweed, and sunflowers along the St. Johns River, Florida. Tlie timber is three or fourmiles away. A FEW FLORIDA HONEY-PLANTS ALONG THE ST. JOHNS RIVER BY C. H. CLUTE Orange was a failure here last season. The saw and cabbage palmetto were allright. The prairie yield starts before theeabbage - i-ialmetto bloom is over. Thel^rairie bloom lasts up to October or Novem-ber. Last year it was a failure here on ac-count of high water. If one had a launcha few miles would take the bees to bloomabove the high water. In December and January maple and wil-low yield pollen and honey. In February and March, by moving, we have access onpoor land to horse-wicker commonly calledgreasewood; also pennyroyal that gives aflow of 100 to 125 lbs. per colony if coldweather does not interfere. Then by moving again we get orange,basswood, etc. In August the deertongueis in bloom. This yields well, giving alot of nice honey; but it is found in only afew locations. Sanfor
