X The “drillability” of fertilizer will depend on the care it gets in storage. Fertilizer should be kept in a dry place, preferably on a wooden floor above the ground level, until ready for use. It us ually becomes less drillable when stored in the field, as is often done in certain sections, or in a damp place, or on the ground. If fertil izer absorbs moisture in storage, it jliculd be dried before distribution, by spreading it in a thin layer on boards or canvas in the sun; if it becomes lumpy it should be screen ed, the. lumps broken up, and then 'T-mixed. The humidity cf the air is usually lowest from noon until 4 p. m. of sunny days. Damp fer tilizers dry best and can be dis tributed most efficiently at sir' -1 times. A survey of state banking depart* monts by the State Bank Division, American Bankers Association, dis closes a distinct tendency the past five years to take bank supervision out of politics, to increase the discretionary powers of bank commissioners, to lengthen their terms of office, to sup ply them with adequate forces of qualified examiners and to relieve banking departments of duties foreign to banking, says a recent statement issued by the association. “We have consistently urged that the office of bank commissioner be as free from partisan politics as the ju diciary itself and that it be divorced from all other functions of state gov ernment,” the statement says. “Fur ther, that his term of office be made more secure and lasting, with suffi cient salary and power granted to at tract and retain the services of men of outstanding executive ability, cour age, resourcefulness and successful banking experience.” “Five years aga the first survey of state banking departments by the divi sion demonstrated the need for im provements. On the basis of data now in hand it is evident that, through the revision of statutes in many states, rapid steps are being taken in the right direction. One by one the states are coming to recognize the primary importance of strong, competent bank ing departments. The demand for In creasing the effe. tiveness of banking departments is beginning to be met.” How Bank Commissioners Are Chosen The office of bank commissioner Is now operated as an independent de partment of state government in thir ty-four states, the bankers find, in two states the bank commissioner is elected at general elections; in one he is appointed from eligible lists of tbs civil service and in another he is se lected by the banks. In one state the baakers* association elects a list of five names from which the goffer nor appoints one as superintendent of banks; In another he is appointed by the State Corporation Commission and in another by the State Banking Board. “Terms of office of bank commis sioners have been lengthened in sev eral states during the last five years,” the report says. “In 2S states the term is four years, in one, live years, and in three it is six years and In some the'term Indefinite. A short term is condemned on the grounds that the commissioner has insufficient time to become thoroughly conversant with his field work. A longer term permits his rendering useful service through capitalizing his experience. Five years ago the average length of service \va^ less than three years, while now it has risen to five years. Higher Sta dards Required “Signs of an awakening to the ne cessity of making successful banking experi.nce a qualification for bank commissioner are evident. While elev en states report no banking experi ence necessary, the majority require experience of this sort, ranging from two to five years. Twelve states now have banking boards, with powers ranging from acting in an advisory capacity to tull power over all state banks Lo issue and reject charters. “A healthy sign is the number of reports which r’sclose that the com missioners have full power to appoint bank examiners or that these appoint ments are made from civil service lists. This power Is now granted to the commissioner by twenty-seven states. Three require that selection be from civil service lists. Complaints are still made in a few states of po litical pressure in the appointment of examiners, but Lhe contrary seems to be true in t, growing number of states. The most capable commissioner can not successfully perform his duties unless he is able to command the services of efficient, honest examiners. The safety of depositors is dependent on their work, and their appointment, fitness pad compensation are highly important. The number of examiners lias increased 2F per cent in the last five years.” BANKERS TO HOLD GREAT CONVENTION Cleveland, Ohio, has been desig nated for the 1930 annual convention of the American Bankers Association. This organization, which numbers about 20,000 banks with $65,000,000,000 in assets, is annually the nation’s most important financial event. The attend ance ranges between five and ten thousand. Cleveland is especially significant in the history of the Association’s edu cational traditions since it was in this city, when the organization last met there in the year 1899, that the origi nal resolution was presented looking to the formation of an educational section. This subsequently resulted in the American Institute of iV.nking in which aro now enrolled. 33.000 bank men and women e - ’gaged 5n the study of the technical .nd • J- '“ *ibases cf the btT“ , T'- 7 s Improved Uniform International SundaySchool f Lesson ’ (By REV.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Take Heed How Ye Hear. In this thirteenth chapter of Mat thew the “mysteries” of the kingdom are unfolded. By “mystery” in the Scriptures Is meant truth undiscover- aMe by human reason, made known by revelation. The seven parables of this chapter set forth in a most graphic manner the admixture of moral and spiritual affairs in the world between Christ’s ascension and return to the earth. I. The Sower (v. 3). The sower Is not named in this par able. In the parable of the wheat and tares, the sower is the Son of Man (v. 37). It is evident that the sower in this case is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the centuries He^has been sowing the seed of divine truth by means of prophets, apostles and ministers. II. The Kind of Soil (w. 4-8; 19- The soil is thfe human heart (v. 19). The seed sown is the Word of God (v. 19). The dllTerenee of results lies in the condition of the soil, which in turn is the state of the human heart. Notwithstanding tiie faithfulness of the sower and the purity of the seed, the results of preaching God’s Word depend upon the .condition of the hu man heart. This parable reveals four binds of soil or bearers. 1. The wayside, or hard-hearted hearer (v. 4. cf. v. 19). * The wayside means the track beat en down by the hoofs of animals and the feet of men. Because the soil was unbroken and uncultivated the seed could not get beneath the surface, therefore was devoured by the fowls The great truth ti) light is* Chafe- the heart unbroken and ha+d is not favor able soli for the gospel. 2. The stony places, or superficial hearers fvv. 5, 6. cf. vv. 20. 21). This means stones with a thin layer of soil upon them. Under such condl tions the seed springs up quickly, but likewise scorches quickly. Hearts su perficialiy impressed receive God’s Word with joy. bur when persecution and trials come they are not able to endure. 3. The thorny ground, or pre-occu pled hearers (v. 7. cf. v. 22). In this case the ground Is good, tnel low enough and of sufficient depth but has thorns in it. Such realty h«u the Word of God. hut the cares of this world and the deceit fulness of riches and the lusts of other things entering in choke the Word and it he comes unfruitful (Mark 4:19). Many are the ■‘thorny ground’ hearers of tills age. The good seed cannot mature because Ul of world llness. Men and women are complete ly absorbed In the things of business and are burdened with care. (2) The dcceltfulness of riches Anxious care In business brings riches to many The effect of riches is to blunt rhe spiritual perception of men. (3) Lusts of other things entering in. This means the pleasures of life. All these things choke the Word of God. .Many of the enjoyments of the world may be intio cent in themselves, hut they attract so much attention and consume so much energy and rime that one has no time for Bible reading, meditation and prayer. 4. The good ground, or fruitful hear ers (v. 8. cf. v. 23). “Rut other fell Into good ground and brought forth fruit.’’ This ground dif ferod from all the rest. It was mellow, deep and moist, therefore it was capa ble of bringing forth fruit, a hundred, some sixty and some thirty fold. In the measure that the heart is kept free from worldiness. riches and pleasures, the good seed matures. III. The Purpose of Teaching In Parables (vv. 10-17). There is much misapprehension con cerning teaching in parables. The para bolic method of teaching makes clear the truth to those that love it, but con ceals it from those who have a dis taste for it. Jesus did not teach by parables till the rulers had set their hearts against Him. When In the light of His miracles and wonderful works they turned against him and attrib uted His works to the devil. He de nounced them in the most scathing terms and began to tench in parables. In fulfillment of the prophecy of Isai ah (Matt. 13:14, 15; cf. Isa. 6:9, 10). mEHffiilS McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —.
