his public ministry. One day Jesus was walking
by the and he two men-Simon, called
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net in
the sea- And he said unto them: Follow and
1 will make you fishers of men" They straight
way left their nets and followed him. He walked
on farther, when he came upon James, the son OF
Zebedee, and john his brother, who were also
in the ship mending their nets. He straightway
called them and they left their father In the ship
and followed him., Nathaniel was more doubtful
about Christ's spiritual power until day Jesus
saith unto him: Verify, verify 1 say unto you,
hereafter ye shall see heaven open and the angels
Of God ascending and descending upon the Son
Of Man" And Christ went from place to place
until he had found his II apostles. He unwill-
ing to rest then. He began to give food to the
hungry, sight to the blind, health to the sick and
comfort to aching hearts. Among the most illus
trious Of his miracles when he constrained
his disciples to go on board the boat and row
across the lake to Capernaum. Then he sent away
the great crowd of people who were still eager
that he should be their king. When they were all
gone and he left alone he went up into the
mountain to pray. While he was praying in the
night great storm came up the lake. When
the storm at its height Jesus went to his dis
ciples walking on the water though the sea
were dry land Then the men in the boat saw a
strange figure coming them and Jesus called
out to them: BE Of good cheer; it is 1; be not
afraid" After Jesus had perf0rmed many mira
cles the people asked him to do these things TO
satisfy their curiosity. When he refused them
they became angry and left him. Finally Jesus
turned to his IL apostles and asked: will ye also
go away and leave me?" But Simon Peter an
swered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? For
thou only hast the words Of everlasting life" One
day, entering the temple, ne saw that the mer-
chants and brokers were making everything sub
serv1ent to their avarice. His anger rose at his
seeing these unholy doings In the temple. He did
not hesitate to what should be done He
threatened the traders with scourge of small
cords, drove them out and said to them: Take
these things hence; make not my Fathers house
an house Of merchandise" After he left Jerusa-
lem he went directly to Aenon, near Salem which
was the field Of John the Baptist's labors. Here
he spent most OF his time from the Passover to

leaf spots, cankeTs and bugs" The
successful Orchardist won't believe
that it is all humbug, though it is true
that it is only since we had so many
diseases and insects that we have had
to spray.
For the most part, these insects
and fungus pests are easily Kept in
check by the proper use of the various
spray materials. There has been
much advance in the past few years
In the way Of spray mixtures, ma
chinery, and in the methods of appIi-
cation. To the successful orchardists,
it is not so much question Of
whether he will have a crop of defec-
tive or sound fruit as it is a question
Of how to prevent overproduction
with the necessary result OF small
fruits and depleted vitality OF the
trees.
Many growers during their first at
tempts at insect and fungus control
wait too long before they begin work.
They consider spraying TO be a cure.
Spraying never cured anything. The
use of spray materials when properly
applied is a preventive only.
The blotches, scabs, leaf spots.
cankers and other fungus troubles
are plants of a low order growing on
the fruit trees, leaves or fruit. These
low-order plants produce reproduc-
tive bodies in a somewhat different
manner from the Towering plants.
These are called. spores instead Of
seeds. The spores are released,

time the fruit tree is ready to bloom,
in order that when these spores be-

spray three weeks later, that there
may be some more of that fungicidal
chemical on the new growth, as well
as to repIenish the former supply that
may have been washed off by rains
or blown away by winds. For the
same reason he tells US to spray
seven weeks after this second spray
ing has been applied.
The successful orchardist has also

SWINDLING FARMERS BY SHORT WEIGHTS

Evidence Of short weight in feeds
sold by Kansas dealers, particularly in
southwestern Kansas, has come to the
feed control section of the Kansas
Agricultural College. L. A. Fitz in
charge Of the enforcement Of the state
Feeding Stuffs Law for the college
has sent out warnings to consumers
urging caution in buying packages or
sacks OF feed. The reports received
by Mr. Fftz indicate that farmers have
been paying for 100 pounds Of feed
and getting sacks whose gross weight
is SO or 81 pounds, and sometimes
even lower.
Originally all such feeds were
packed 100 pounds gross said Mr.
FItz recently, "and the consumer has
become accustomed to order bran,
shorts. chops, ETC., by the sack with
the. idea that he was receiving and
paying for 100 pounds gross. In re-
cent years there has developed the
practice Of putting out these feeds In
packages of lighter gross weight
There can be no excuse for a ninety
seven or ninety-eight pound package
Of such feed other than an attempt on
the part OF some one to defraud the
consumer. The state Feeding Stuffs

He took the child up in his arms and exclaimed:
Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart In
peace according to thy words: For mine eyes
have seen thy salvation"
Joseph and Mary remained but short time with
their child in Egypt. The death of Herod later re-
called them to Palestine, and they returned to
their old place of abode the little town of Naza-
reth in Gal1ee They did this because the angel
OF the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and
said: Take the young child and his mother and
fee into Egypt and be thou there until 1 bring
thee word, for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him. He grew strong in both body and
spirit Tradition says he a garment without

desert for the banks of the Jordan. He gathered
the people together in hosts He announced that
they were to be delivered from sin and bondage,
and to prepare for the Messiahs coming.
1t was at Bethabara that John the Baptist saw
Jesus for the first time, and looking upon him
said: Behold the lamb of God" It here that
the IL stones were set up marking the spot where
the children Of Israel had crossed the Jordan dry
shod to enter the promised land. Jesus had come
to be baptized. but John refused until he heard
Jesus say: Suffer it to be now, for thus it be-
comes US to fulfil all righteousness After Jesus
had spoken to the people he was led into the
wilderness by the spirit. Here he was tempted
for 40 days by the devil. He was an hungered
and the devil said unto him. eff thou be the Son
OF God command that this stone be made bread"
and Jesus answered him. saying ct is written that
man shall not live by bread alone but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth Of God"
He next brought him to Jerusalem and sat him on
a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him: IF
thou be the Son Of God cast myself down from
hence" Jesus answered cit is said thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God" Then the devil tempted

Law gives US power to require that
the guaranteed minimum weight be
shown. To protect the cohsumer it
becomes necessary to warn him that
these short weight packages are be-
ing offered and to instruct him to OBJ
serve carefully the weight marked on
the package or on the tag attached
thereto SO that he may know, when
he buys a sack Of such feed, whether
he is getting the amount he expects
to receive and pay for.
The Weights and Measures Law,
administered by the state board OF
health, states that unless there is a
special written contract to the con-
trary, feeds made from the common
cereals must be packed 100 pounds
gross The consumer can find pro-
lection under this law II, when he or
