Between the numerous "keys" and the main shores, the weather is balmy, the air is pure and one can forget there the rest of the world and its troubles. Treatment of European Foul- brood By W. S. Pangburn Read before the students of the Short Course at Anus. THE subject of European foul- brood is a very important one to the beekeeper. I think I am safe in saying that it is the most im- portant subject with which we have to deal at the present time. Formerly, the producing of a maxi- mum crop of honey, and disposing of it to the best advantage, were the two subjects that deserved our most careful attention. Shortly after the European war began, the selling of honey became the least of the beekeeper's troubles, and will be so long as it lasts. Producing maximum crops is still a vital question, owing to the fact that European foulbrood is ravaging the apiaries in many spots, and maximum crops are not produced in localities where it exists. It matters not whether you have had the disease, whether you now have it, or whether you have never had it. It is a menace to the indus- try so long as is exists, for one never knows when or where it will break out, either for the first time, or anew. I do not know of a man who would make the statement that he knew all about the ways the disease was transmitted, and could give a treat- ment that would cure it to stay cured. It is true, there are a number of treatments that will clean up. the disease for the season, but no assur- ance for the next year. It seems also to be true, that some methods are a success in some lo- calities and a failure in others. Why this is so is not entirely In my own opinion, the disease is not so virulent in some localities as in others, else it would seem that if a treatment had merit in one locality it should work in another, but we know it is not always the case.
