SERMON TTE.

DisloyaI to their God in their
own lard, the Jews fell easy vic
tins to the influences with
which they found themselves
surrounded in Egypt, and it was
not long before they were in
dulqino in all the idoIatrous
practices of the Egyptians, burn
ing incense to the queen of
heaven and pouring out drink
offerings unto her.
Then the word of the Lord
came to jeremiah concerning
all of the Jews that dweIt in
Egypt.
Note two things:
First. The mercy and long,
suffering kindness of God in
seeking to turn his people from
their evil ways. Despite their
wicked refusal to listen to his
voice and not go down into
Egypt, he goes after the wan
dering sheep there and strives
to bring them back to himself.
God never gives up soul until
the utmost effort on his part
has been exhausted to win it
back to the paths ofarighteous-
ness. Remember that.
Second. Johanan's evil pur-
pose in dragging Jeremiah off
to Egypt turns to the bringing
about of good. Jeremiah in
Egypt will not be silent, and
there amidst the Wickedness Of
the Jews he lifts his voice
against their idoiatrous prac-
tees, and warns them of the
awful evils that are to come
upon them because of their
wrong doing.
Notice, also, as you read this
forty-fourth chapter, the reply
which the people make to Jere-
miah, hetokening the depths
spiritually to which they had
fallen. Before they had come
into Egypt they had spoken Of
"our Gcd," and had excused
their refusal to obey the words
of jeremiah by declaring that
he, the prophet, had spoken
falsely. But now, after per-
haps a years soiourn in Egypt,
they go many lengths farther
and bIasphemousIy declare
that blessing came not from
God, but from the queen of
heaven. Thus repudiating God,
they step over the line, where
it only remains for GOD to bring
final Judgment upon them.
II. is a solemn fact that there
does come a time in Gods deal
ings with every heart when the
Spirit of God speaks its final
word of entreaty. When such
a time comes, then nothing re-
mains for that soul but the day
of Judgment and the condemna-
ton of God, as he shall say:
depart from me-"

tie bags are of all sizes, as they are

little fine white linen sacks which
hold the powder, and their ends may

baby ribbon, or they may be faced or

will be to run the harrow over the
soil once and then mark in both direc-
tions at the desired distances for
planting. The marking is generally
done with either one-horse pillow,
a flat-soled marker, or a disk marker.
The disk marker is well adapted to
this work, as it throws up slight
ridge which furnishes fresh earth in
which to plant. Some growers who
practice level culture mark the ground
with a small one-horse plow and
throw up slight ridge upon which
to plant; behind the pillow roller is
used to compress this ridge to low,
fiat elevation.
Where the more universal ridge
method of planting is employed the
soil is thrown up by means of turn
ing plow or disk machine. The
ridges should be made at least one
week before planting, in order that
the soil may become settled and com
pact. The majority of sweet-potatoe
growers make the ridges whenever
the land is in good condition to work
and then either roll or drag the tops
just ahead of the planters. BY using
a roller similar to that shown in the
fifure s the ridges at one operation
can be rolled and marked the proper
distances for planting. A drag suit
able for smoothing the tops of the
ridges can be easily constructed by

Fig. 10.-A trowel and pSSA Supp41A0hS-
dibble used in setting ed by the results
gained by numer-
GUS observers. The diseases of the
sweet potato are now widely dissent
mated, and one or more of them may
at any time prove destructive.
A system of crop rotation by which
the land will not be planted to sweet
potatoes oftener than every four or
five years is the first step toward
disease control. Care in the selection
and keeping of potatoes intended for
propagation is Of Importance, while
clean cultivation and proper handling
at the time of harvesting are essential.
Diseases will generally make their
first appearance upon cut, broken, or
bruised potatoes, and all that are in
any respect injured should be stored
separately from the seed and perfect
stock. The storage house should be
cleaned and fumigated with sulphur
or formalin before storing begins, and
all crates or baskets used for hand
ling the crop should be in the house
during the fumigation. Potatoes that
show evidence of the presence of
disease should not be- used for prop
agation, and the hotbed should be
cleaned and supplied with fresh soil
each season.
It is very apparent that some
varieties are more subject to the
attacks of diseases than others. The
Big-Stem Jersey and the Jersey group
generally are especially subject to
disease, while varieties of the Hay
man group, such as Southern Queen,
are seldom affected.

AS the patches enlarge, the central
portion becomes darker, often almost
black. The presence of the black-rot
upon the potatoes can usually be
detected at digging time, or more
certainly when selecting the seed for
bedding in the spring. Some idea Of
the appearance of this disease can be
gained from figure 16.
A disease known as stem-rot causes
the stem of the plant to begin to die
at the surface of the ground. This
decay gradually extends downward to
the potatoes and frequently kills the
entire plant.
The disease known as soft-rot, dry
rot and white-rot are all similar in
their method of attack to the black
rot One form, known as soil-rot,
causes the loss of the crop while it is
in the field. Each of these diseases
is caused by particular fungus, but
has received the common name sug-
gested by it's general appearance or
some marked characteristic. Any
one of the diseases of the sweet
potatoe may be present without caus-
ing severe loss provided conditions
are favorable to it's development, and
growers should be constantly on their
