Thus, my dear hearers, you with my
self and others of the intelligent peo-
pie of the world, find ourselves today
in most trying position. Our hearts
have repudiated the doctrine of eter-
nal torture as being un-Christ-like, un-i
worthy even OF devil. We can be-
lieve neither in Purgatory of centu-
ries, nor in eternal torture as a conse-
quence or penalty for Adams disobedi-
ence In eating OF the forbidden fruit,
nor as penalty upon his children fer
not living perfect lives when they
were born in sin and shapen in iniqui-
ty'' and prone TO sin as the sparks to
fly upward" Our hearts cry out for
the living God and the true light upon
J his dealings,

A NEW MEXICO QUERY.

A lady reader of these notes living
near Mountainair, N. NJ, writes inquir-
ing liz strawberries will grow and do
well in the rich chocolate soil Of that
section and if they will need covering
during the winter. While the writer
IL not acquainted personally with the
section i'm question, two or three gen.
eraI statements may be made which
will be helpful. In the first place, choc-
olate soil is usually as rich in fertiliz-
ing elements as any other and would
seem to be all right for the straw
berry. A more important considera-
ton would be sufficient moisture to in
sure the growth of the plants and the
maturing of the fruit, and this would
have to be supplied by ditch at needed
times IL the rainfall were not sufficient.
Cultivation should be given often
enough to keep the soil mellow and to
conserve the moisture. If during the
months when the plants were dormant
the mercury did not 60 lower than 10
above zero. the bed would hardly need
covering. However, in this connection
it is we'll to keep i'm mind the fact that
1t H. not degrees of cold that kill berry
vines. but alternate thawing and freez-
ing. and local conditions would deter
mine to quite an extent the probable
danger from this source.

ing of corn. was nicely illustrated in
the case Of an Iowa grower who paid
$685. per bushel for his seed at the
time Of the corn contest at the State
Agricultural college. To prove to his
own satisfaction the value Of pure
bred seed over the best seed selected
from common corn, he planted the
pure bred seed-Reid's Yellow Dent-in
rows alongside the other corn. Both
plots had the same stand and received
the same cultivation and care. At
husking time the pure bred corn yield
ed at the rate OF seventy-one and a
half bushels per acre. while the scrub
corn gave return of fifty-nine BUSH
els, q difference of eleven and half
bushels per acre. Since q buShel of
corn will plant seven acres it Is quite
clear that this amount Of seed would
produce an increased yield equal to
seven times that OH one acre, or eighty
and half bushels. III this corn was
worth so cents a bushel. the bushel Of
seed was worth in crop returns S4O.25
more than the common corn. 1t would
De well for the corn grower to have
instances of this i'm mind when he pays
"a long price for good seed corn next
spring.
