The moderate weathe-r now being experienced in certain localities will give the people in those sections an opportunity to get their various fruit trees and bushes pruned. Pruning can be done safely any time after the plants bc.'cme dormant and all v.-ork in this line done in early winter will allow more time for the 'hundred- and one' jobs that turn up simultane- ously when the open weather arrives in March or April.

The United Giagdom is second to Germany as th-c world's honey mark- et. From the standpoint of Can- adian bee-keepers, hcwever. the Unit- ed Kingdom is easily the more im- portant of the two. Honey imports by tho British Isles have ranged be- tween seven and ten million pounds yearly in recent years and have not shown the drastic decline which char- acterized German imports during the depression period. Up until 1928 tht United Kingdom drew its honey sup- ply from three main sources:- L'nited States. British West Indies and New Zealand. Other countries contribut- ed somewhat smaller amounts. With- in the last thrtv years, however. Can- adian honey has made striking pro- gress on the British market, taking ?^cond place among all the various competing countries in 1931. Chief among Canadian provinces to increase notably its honey export was On- tario. This Province is now shipp- ing overseas yearly considerably more than all the other Provinces combin- ed.
