Truck crops, grown for sale, are a product of an intensive agriculture. They require much skilled labor, care ful attention during tin* growing sea son and on most soils the use of rather h^avy applications of commercial fer tilizer. In fact it does not usually pay to put so much labor into these crops without using plenty of fertilizer tb In sure profit uhl e y ltd ds. _ When Mammoth Clover Is " Wanted for Seed Only When mammoth clover is wanted for seed it is well to either pasture the field until abouf-the ftrst of .June or clip it, leaving the clippings on the held to,act as mulch. If short of pasture use tills Held of cldVter early in the season for that purpose. How ever, If the" fertility of the soil Is of most Importance, let the clover grow, then In June roll or pole It down, going around the Held in the same direction that the mower will go. The heads of the clover will straighten up ^nd the seed crop can he han^sted without handling so much straw;' By this method a heavy growth of or ganic matter is left on the ground to be turned under when the ground la niowed for com. , A, Prune Grape Vines for Best Results Work Usually Done While Plants Are Dormant. - (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture ) More general use of home-grown clover seed, in the opinion of the United States Department' of Agricul ture, would do more than any other one thing toward solving the problem of red clover failure In this country. If methods can be found by which small acreages of domestic red-clover seed can be conveniently harvested and hulled for home use, more depend ence could be put upon the supply of home-grown seed and less would need to be Imported. Clover Turned Under. It Is known, says the department, that throughout the country, east of the Allegheny mountains at least, there are every year thousands of. acres of good second-growth cloven that Is turned under Instead of beln^, harvested for seed, because iu those neighborhoods no hollers are to be had and the farmer Is not able to harvest and save the seed economically. If these farmers could save their own seed, the drain on the market stocks represented by their requirements would he materially decreased, and the seed produced in the states where it is grown commercially would lie more nearly adequate to supply the demand. - l or at least fifteen years the United States has been a heavy Importer of red-clover seed. Most of this seed lias -come from Italy and France. Evidence is accumulating to show that the Italian seed is not satisfactory for use in America. Co-operative trials which the department has been conducting with experiment stations In the Mid dle West have shown that the plants from Italian seed are much more likely to winterkill than tltpse from Ameri can seed, that 'they are more suscepti ble to certain diseases and that they often give a smaller crop even when the stand is otherwise apparently sat isfactory. Unsatisfactory Seed. As far as the investigations of the department have progressed, it was found that Italian seed is practically everywhere unsatisfactory and that French and Chilean seed, while giv ing good yields in some parts, is un satisfactory in Iowa, Minnesota and elsewhere where the winters are se vere. Means of harvesting and saving the seed from the numerous small acre-' ages of red clover instead Of import- tng seiMb-would do much to bring the- clover crop back into a dependable part of the rutaiion. Ked clover is par excellence the restorative crop for rotations in the corn belt, says Hie department, but continued failures of* tin* crop'have caused a steady decline in acreage. This decline in acreage over a long period of years has ad versely affected the yields of.all other crops involved in the rotation. The import a uce-of home-grow n seed is especially great in the southern and southejisteni part "f the clover belt, where the anthracnose disease is com mon and often very destructive. Here plants that survlvn and produce seed are quite likely to have some degree of resistance to the disease. Bearing grape vines must be pruned every year if a profitable yield is to be secured. This work is usually done while the vines are still dormant, advises J. H. dark, instructor in fruit growing at the New Jersey State College of Ag riculture. “A heavy pruning Is neces sary to stimulate vigorous wood growth, to keep the plant within bounds, and to leave only as many buds as can produce good-sized clus ters. “The amount of old wood left at pruning time should be no more than Is necessary to act as a support to the producing canes. In.the Knlffen sys tem of training, which is recommended for New Jersey, a single trunk ex tends to tlie top wire of the two-wire trellis. Four vigorous, one-year-old caues, a little above the average In length and starting as near the trunk as possible, are selected to produce the crop. These should be so located that one cane can be tied Ih each direction along each wire. Ea«h of these canes is cut back to eight or ten buds, de pending on tlie vigor of the vine, mak ing a total of 32 to 40 buds on the en tire plant. "Tills number of buds distributed over four canes will produce more fruit than the same number of buds on spurs, each bearing only two to four buds. Since thje canes which bear fruit one year are removed the next, some provision must be made for re newal. This Is provided for by select ing four other canes as close as pos sible to where renewal canes will be wauted a year later, and cutting them hack to spurs of two buds each. All remaining canes are then removed en tirely. "These recommendations can easily he applied to other systems of train ing. Tlie removal of as much old wood as possible aiid keeping HO to 40 buds on four or five one-year-old canes to produce the ..crop are tjie essential points." IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Lesson f (By REV. P. B. F1TZWATER, D D , Dea« of the Evening School. Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) (©. 1925. Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for March 15 Farming Becoming More Difficult, Says Expert According to Director Sidney B. Has kell of the Massachusetts experiment station, farming is .becoming more diffi cult, due to higher market standards, soil fertility problems, insect pests, plant and animal diseases, nnd com petition with tlie factory which has brought about n shorter working day. This increasing difficulty works to the ’advantage of the educated farmer. The future of fanning looks bright because of the increasing population, because there are no longer great areas of untilled soil in tlie West, and because the Middle West and/ South are now passing through the same era of industrialization which Hie East has already had. Each section of the, country must adapt itself more and more tv that type of agriculture that best fits its market and transportation facilities, its soil and its climatic conditions, and in or der to compete on the market at the price set by the large producing a mas, fnrmers must reach certain standards of efficiency per acre, per dollar and per man. More and more attention must be given to good seed, productive live stock, economical use of labor and to the application of proper fertilizers in sufficient quantity to give the greatest profit. Pasturing Sweet Clover • During Secohd Season Sweet clover, the second season, should be pastured as soon as an ani mal Is able to get a mouthful and Humid be grazed henvllv. according to specialists of the Kansas State Agri cultural college. If a seed crop is desired, grazing should cease the last of June or the first of July and the crop should he allowed to make seed. Harvesting should be done September 1, or be fore. ’ ('lose grazing Is not likely to hurt sweet clover. As a matter -of fact, It benefits the following seed crop, where seed is desired, by forc ing the plant to make a fine, bushy growth, Instead of a coarse, upright growth.

GOLDEN TEJCT—•‘The Lord Is risen Indeed"—Luke 24:34. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Rises From the Dead. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Risen From the Dead. • INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Christ's Victory Over Death. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Proofs of the Resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection of Christ is one* of the foundation truths of Christianity. Its entire superstructure stands or falls upon its reality. It is the grand proof that Christ was what He claimed to lie, the Messiah, the Son of God (Matt. 12:39-40;" John 2:19-21). His resurrection authenticated his claims. If Jesus did not rise, from Joseph’s tomb, lie was not the Son of God. nor a true prophet (He said frequently while alive that He would arise), neither a Savior; not even a good man, for He would then be a falsifier However, if He did arise, all that He said concerning Himself is true. His resurrection declared Him to he the Son of God with power (Rom. 1:4). I. The Empty Tomb (vv. 1-10). John does not enti*r into a descrip tion of the resurrection of Christ hut says tlie tomb was empty, ahd that Jesus had repeatedly manifested Him self after the tomb was found empty. To see the body of Christ with a spear thrust and nail prints, and then the empty tomb was all that faith needed. 1. The Testimony of Mary Magda lene (vv. 1-2). v This woman out of w hom Jesus had cast seven demons (Mark 16:9; Luke 8:2), announced the fact of the empty tomb to Peter and John. Prompted by great love to Him for His kindness to her, she went early to the tomb even "when it was yet dark.” "She was last at the cross, and first at the grave. She stayed longest there and was soonest here.” This woman’s love for the Master was genuine though her knowl edge ns to His resurrection was defec tive. She had realized great good at His hand, therefore she could not rest until she had done her utmost for Him.. 2. Personal Investigation by Peter and John (vv. 3, 10). The news-of the empty tomb which Mary brought witjfi breathless haste so moved John and Peter that both ran to investigate. When John came to the empty Tomb he/gazed into it, but Pe ter entered it. (This investigation con vinced them. The removal of the stone from the sepulcher and the arrange ment of the grave clothes convinced them that the enemy could not have done this. II. The Manifestation of the Risen Lord (vv. 11-20). 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 11-18). (1) Mary Weeping at the Empty Tomb (v. 11). Peter and John went home, but Mary could not. She stood weeping. Home was nothing to her while her Lord was missing. Earnest love need not weep long for Jesus is found 9f those who love Him. 1 She should have been rejoicing that the grave was empty, for the empty tomb was eloquent proof of His messiah- ship amL deity. Had His body been there she w OHjrd have had real cause for weeping. (2) Mary Questioned by the- Angels (vv. 12-lfi). She viewed through her tears angels at the tomb who inquired as to the cause of her sorrow. She replied, "Because they have taken away my Lord and I knoyv not where they have laid Him.' (fi) Jesus Reveals Himself to Mary (yv. 14-16), She first saw tlie angels and then her eyes lighted upon the Lord. As soon'as* He called her by name,she recognized Him and fell at His feel weeping. (4) Jesus Forbade Her to Touch Him (v. 17). This showed that she was coming Into a new relationship to Him; besides there was not time for such familiarity while the disciples were in darkness, "Go tell my breth ren." was the message she must curry. (5) Mary’s Testimony (v. 18). She told the disciples that she ’had seen the Lord. ' 2. To the Disciples (vv. 19-29). (1) When Thomas Was Absent (vv. 19-23). a. His message of peace (v. 19). • b; He showed His hands and His side (v. 20). o. He commissioned them (v. 21). d. He defended the power that was bestowed upon them (v. 23).
