HARPER Lesson for July 18: Exodus 3:- 13-16; 4:10-17. Golden Text: Exodus 3:12. Moses greatly needed encourage ment. Anxious as to how his peo ple would receive him, he asked the Lord what he should say when he was asked the name of the God who had sent him. And he was told to say I AM had sent him. This name is very significant of God. The personal pronoun I shows that God is a person — the Supreme Person — and Am indi cates his eternity. So the Eternal God was back of Moses, and this should have encouraged him. But still he hesitated—pleading that he was not an orator but “slow of speech.” Then Godprom- ised to direct his speech but Moses persisted in his effort to shift the responsibility. His excuses and his manner displeased the Lord. He told Moses his brother, Aaron, a Levite, was coming to meet him and would welcome him and that, together, instructed of God, they could do the work appointed them. Thus encouraged, with assur ance of God’s presence and power, Moses set out on his mission which, from a human viewpoint, was impossible, with only a frail rod to lift against the might of an ancient kingdom. In the midst of our own difficul ties in doing the Lord’s work, let us hear his voice saying unto us, even as Moses heard it of his rod, “What is that in thine hand?” What is it, reader, at your com mand, that you can use if it be consecrated unto God? use and the amount to can is as follows: Vegetables, 4 times a week, 120 qts. to last 6 mos.. Tomatoes, 3 to 4 times a week, 100 qts. to last 8 mos., Fruit, 4 times a week, 120 qts. to last 6 mos., Kraut, 1 time a week, 20 qts. to last 5 mos., Meat, 2 times a week, 50 qts. to last 6 mos., Individual requirements for a- dults and children over six for one year: 20 quarts of tomatoes, 24 quarts of vegetables, 24 quarts of fruit, 4 quarts of kraut. When you prepare your fall garden, apply a liberal amount of well decomposed manure. Be sure it is well decayed or it will burn the plants. The advantage of manure in preventing drying of soil can be better appreciated when we know that 100 pounds of sand will hold 25 pounds of water; clay 50 pounds of water; and organic matter (manure) 190 pounds of water. Do not overlook the importance of fertilizer for the fall and win ter garden. Make a top dressing of nitrate of soda for growing crops and work it well into the soil. Make plantings of the follow ing: Turnips — Shogoin, Seven Top (for greens)—Purple Top, White Egg (for turnips), Beans — Tendergreen and Stringless Greenpod, Turnips — (Rutabaga) — Im proved Purple Top, up to August 1, Beets—-Zarly Wonder and De troit Dark Red, Carrots—Imperator and Chan- tenay, Corn — Stowell’s Evergreen, Celery—Golden Self Blanching, Giant Pascal, Cabbage — Succession and Late Flat Dutch, Tomatoes—Marglobe, Pritchard, ard Rutgers, (all wilt-resistant). Plants of the above named vegetables are always short for fall plantings. Therefore, do ev erything possible to save the plants and cause them to grow off rapidly after transplanting. Puddling the roots, which is nothing more than plunging the i roots into a mixture of soil and j water, before transplanting, is very helpful. Shade the plants I with old berry boxes, newspapers pine tops, or old shingles unti the growth begins. Watch for Insects: Stop the in sect when it first begins to work It is easier to handle before it has a larger family and many friends. See Extension Bulletin 102 for control measures for such insects as bean beetle, tomato fruit worm, cabbage worm, cu cumber beetle, squash bug, red spider, and others. Mole Crickets: These insects tunnel just under the surface of the soil cutting off plant roots. Control with poisoned bait, scat tered broadcast over infested area late in afternoon. This is com posed of the following: cottonseed meal, 5 pounds; rice flour, 5 pounds; calcium arsenate, one- half pound; and one cup of mo lasses to 7 cups of water. Harlequin Bug and Squash Bug: Handpick and destroy by drop ping in cup of kerosene. A py- rethrum dust (pyrocide) has been used successfully by some gar deners. Hot (140-180 degrees F) soapy (1 lb. to 5 gals.) water ap plied with sprinkling pot late in afternoon has proven effective in Louisiana. Destroy all old bean As|< Yourself This Question . . ff .
