According to Missions Inspector
Kriebe in Missions Zeitscrift, ten So
cieties are engaged in evangelizing
work in tn East Indies, of which eight
are Dutch and two German. Among
these organizations the Rhenish So
ciety is by far the most active and
successful, since it has gathered more
than half of the results. The mission
stations number 126, the missionaries
176, the schools 537, and the baptized
1925. An agent of the British and
Foreign Bible society recently visit
ing Ambonia, one of the smaller
islands lying between Celebes and New
Guinea, found among a population of
267 900. about $4,000 Christians. under
the care of 10 Dutch missionaries and

CULTURE OF SWEET-PEA.
Brush Best for the Plants to Climb On

GRANGE of the sweet pea! Who does
not love it? Begin at once to plan
to give it small spot, If you cannot
afford a large one, and you will real
ize a wealth of blossoms for every
foot of ground given 1t.
The best thing for sweet peas to
climb on is brush from the orchard.
Many people think wire netting nicer,
but unless the vines completely cover
it, the hot sun heats it, which scorches
the vines so that they die. For great
est convenience in cutting it is best
to plant in two rows, which also
shades the ground, so that it will re-
tain moisture longer. On wash day
give them the dirtiest soap suds you
have, also very much diluted chamber
Stops, given once a week will bring
many blossoms. In very dry weather
a good soaking two or three times
every week will be sufficient.
When the blossoms have come do
not let everybody cut them, whether
they understand 1t or not. You will
notice that each cluster has two or
three blossoms. Be sure not to cut
any of the clusters until the buds are
all fully open. If you wish to pro-
long the poisoning to frost do not
allow them to go to seed.-Farm and

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Seeds May Be Dropped Late Here and
There-Bring Very Welcome
Late Bloom.

Wherever large weed is pulled out,
drop in few seeds of some flower. If
you do not, other weeds will come to
replace the ones pulled and one might
better have patches of blooming flow
ers late in the season
There are many of the free-fower-
ing ANIMALS that make fine fall dis
play when sown (perhaps little later
would do), among them being sweet
alyssum and nasturtium-the latter
being in the seed-producing stage just
when the pods are wanted in the fall
picking campaign.
Perennials like the hollyhock, candy
tuf:, phlox, pansy and others sown
during the month (June) give well-es-
tabliShed plants that endure the win
ter well, and Loom early the following
year, writes Eva Gaillard, in the Ma
tional Magazine.
Insects of all sorts will be living

to wage no less strenuous warfare
in order to overcome them. If plant
fails to do well am no insects are
visible on the tops, examine the soil
are grown in masses pull out one and
examine the root very closely. Some
times when no insect is found, evil
dence of their work is there and by
doctoring the soil we can reach them.
Insecticides of all sorts (too numer-
GUS to be mentioned here) are to be
had, but in using any that is new, use
caution with it. for in this work as
elsewhere, too much is as bad as
none at ALL"
AS the hot, dry season comes on be-
gin to mulch those plants which do not
have foliage sufficiently large or dense
to shade the soil. The mulch may be
lawn-clippings or any other substance
that covers the soil and serves to keep
it cool, and prevent evaporation.
The mulching system prevents the
burning of the small feeding roots
that are near the surface, smothers out
a vast number of weeds and lessons
