Kenney, we frequently msread His pur-
poses, misunderstood His plans, and
charge Him foollshly where we should
give Him praise for wisdom and love
The wisdom and love Of God rarely lie
on the surfaces of His prOvidences In
fact, they are frequently SO deeply hidden
as to defy all human research. The his
tory OF Moses and David are illustrations
OF this truth.
1T has pleased God to take man into
His confidence and cooperation in the
salvation Of the world, to admit him TO
place in His saving Of souls from
death and hiding a multitude Of sins"
Through the efforts Of the pastor. Wes-
ley Chapel is to have an organized brig

Of two divisions, one comprising boys
from ten to fourteen. and the other bows

Before this means of arousing interest

proved satisfactory, for after they had

In the missionary work OF a large
city said DR.. Ely, there are three
factors necessary for consideration before
great results can be obtained. The work
was started in that city ten years ago,
and has grown each year, from one
tent. until now It possesses ten tents.
What this Christian effort has done for
the Quaker City is nothing short of re-

When the subject of introducing mis-

The Florida agriculturist., 1909-10-01

During the past three years we have
given special attention to the growing
of garden vegetables, testing nearly all
the different types and great many
different varieties of those types. Our
aim has been to see just what can and
cannot be done with them, both for the
home garden and for commercial produc-
tiOn.
Our results from growing vegetables
for the home garden have been very
good, and we see no reason why every
person with a small piece of ground
should not have fine selection of the
choicest vegetables from November until
May. Our observation has been that
the farmers of Cuba pay too little at
tention to the home garden and we be-
lieve this to be very serious mistake,
for good vegetable garden is a profit
able addition to any home, both fnan-
cially and in relation to the health and
welfare of the family. It is surprising
how much can be grown on very small
piece of land, and anyone, either in town
or country, will be we'll paid for the care
and trouble of a garden by having the
choicest of vegetables for his own table.
We have given a good deal of attention
also to the commercial side of vegetable
growing, not only for the export trade
but for the local markets.
Cooperative work has been taken up
too and we have been able to plant
very large list of the commercial types
of vegetables upon the loamy soils of
Pinar del Rio Province. The work was
done in the vicinity of Candelaria and
while the season was so dry as very
much to curtail the result, we were able
to make good deal of progress, and we
hope to continue and to extend this line
of work.
One point which has been brought out
very strongly during the past three years
of our work, both here at the Station
and in the sandy soils, is the necessity
for some form of irrigation. We have
found that this is absolutely essential
upon the heavy lands. and our experience
and observation of the loamy lands is
that there also some form of irrigation
must be provided in order to put the bus
mess of winter vegetable growing upon
a firm basis.
The preparation of the soil is one of
the most important parts of the work of
vegetable growing, and yet we have OBJ
served that it is one of the most neg
lected by the average grower. Too much
pains cannot be taken to make the
ground smooth so that plants of all kinds
when set in the field can be quickly and
easily cultivated and hoed. Less nitrate
of soda and less water and more cultiva
tion and hoeing will usually improve the
quality of a crop of vegetables If the
ground is properly prepared before plant
ing it will require less hand work, as
more of the cultivation can be done with
horse cultivators. The workings should
be frequent and shallow, so as to leave
the ground as nearly smooth as possible.
The more the ridges, the greater the
surface for evaporation, and in this
country with an average season, we
must keep the moisture in the soil if we

irrigation, just as soon as the ground can
be worked, and during dry spells, there
should be three or four civilizations a
week, particularly in loamy soils; fire.
quent and careful cultivation will do
much to preserve the moisture.
Our observation has been that the av-
erage vegetable grower gives very little
attention to the question of seed beds
for growing plants. We believe that this
is mistake and that it will pay to give
more care to seedbeds in order to have
stocky, vigorous plants to set in the
field
We have noticed that most people
make their seed-beds by ridging up the
soil into beds three or four feet wide
and of any desired length, and sowing
the seed in narrow rows or broadcast
over the bed and leaving the plants until
the larger ones are big enough to pull
out and set in the field. By this method,
long, spindling weak plants are produced
which require great deal of care if they
are to live and do we'll.
Some people, instead of making seed
beds, sow the seed in the field where the
plants are to grow. This method some
times succeeds, but it is very uncertain,
for a short drought or very heavy rains
will utterly ruin the stand of plants and
experience has taught the farmers of
practically every trucking section that
with tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc., it
pays to SOW the seed in carefully pre-
pared beds where the soil is very fine,
mellow, loose and fairly rich. If fertil
zer is necessary, we'll rotted stable ma

setting them at distance of three to
four inches each way. When the plants
are first set out, cover with some form
of screen for few days until they have
taken root. Water only when necessary
to keep the plants growing and then give
a good soaking. Keep the surface of the
ground loose and mellow by frequent
STRINGS.
We have found a board frame eight
inches high and five feet wide very con-
venient for inclosing the beds. They
can be made as long as needed. The
frame prevents the soil from washing
away during heavy rains.
For setting in the field the young
plants should be taken carefully from
the seed beds and not pulled uD care
lessly so as to break off all the roots. In
setting, the soil should be made very
firm round the roots Of each plant. If
the weather is dry, water the plants we'll

nothing starts young plant to growing
so we'll as stirring the ground around it.
The market for Cuba's winter grown
vegetables is a long way off and, as the
trucking interest increases here and it's

the picking, grading and packing of their
products or the end of the season will
find them on the wrong side of the ac-
count. Tt will not pay to ship to distant
markets a poor class of vegetables that
are not properly graded and packed. We
must remember that winter grown vege-
tables are not necessities but 1uxuTies iii
the North, and in furnishing them we
cater to a high priced trade The prod
uct must be of fine quality and present
a neat and attractive appearance in order
to attract the buyer.
At present there is too much mixing
of grades by putting choice and ordinary
vegetables of one kind in the same
crate. This is a poor method, for there
is no profit in mixing the grades of
any product. A crate of vegetables
should have the same quality from top to
bottom. Select a good, responsible com
mission merchant, become acquainted
with him, and ship only first-class, high
grade truck. Whenever it is possible, let
your selling agent know beforehand
about how much you have to ship and
the general grade of the shipment, for
then he can handle it to greater advan
tage. Always be very sure that your
vegetables are at the proper stage of
ripeness and carefully picked, graded and
packed All poor material should be
kept at home, as it will not bring enough
to pay for the shipping.
Tomatoes should be packed in the
standard Florida six-basket carrier.
Okra should be packed in the same
style, but never wrapped as in the case
of tomatoes.

INDIANS AS CHURCH MEMBERS.
They Become Deeply Religious Once
They Are Converted.

From the Kansas City Star.
It has been only a few decades since
the selfsame Indians who now are TAX
ing an active interest in the religious life
of Oklahoma were terrorizing the south
west with their deeds of cruelty. During
this month the annual Comanche revival
will be held west of Cache. Last year 30
converts were taken in through the in
nuence of the camp meeting.
The Indian, when converted, is deeply
religious and enjoys, more than the av-
erage white man, the privilege of holding
and attending religious meetings, as this
form more closely resembles the con-
ventions held by the tribes before their
conversion to Christianity. 1t Is the GUS
tom for the Methodists and Baptists in
particular to hold camp meetings for the
Indian tribes, among whom they have
been doing missionary work. The Kiowas
and commanches are especially favora-
BILE to these open-air gatherings and at
tend In great numbers each summer.
The Catholics hold first place in doing
missionary work among the Indians Of
the southwest, with the Methodists and
Baptists close together for second place
and the Presbyterians and Episcopalians
in third position. Recent congressional ac-
ton has given all these denominations
the control and ownership Of the church
and school lands. which they have I'M
