RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
ORCHARD PRACTICE

The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton gives a few we'll defined recon-
mendations for orchard practice. Am
ongst other things it points out the
danger of winter injury to fruit
trees, and suggests the mounding of
the earth slightly around the base of
the tree to give a good drainage and
thus prevent much loss which might
otherwise occur from this trouble.
Speaking of this injury, the plant pa
biologist at the Station states that
trees are frequently injured by i'm
proper spray mixture or by improp-
err applications. He recommends US
ing the we'll recognized and reliable
treatments and brings out the neces-
sity of spraying at the right time and
thoroughly in order that the treat
and not be injurious to the tree.
Some definite precautions are sug-
gested in spraying orchards. In the
first place it is suggested that the
time and application be carefully
scheduled; if the treatment is not
given at the proper time results may
be disappointing. The interval of
time during which some organisms
can be treated successfully may be
so short that a few days, or even a
few hours, may render the spray ap-
plication ineffective. Care should be
used as to the kind of material which
is applied. Some materials are bet
ter than others, but in all cases tae
line of treatment must be practical.
Indiscriminate spraying should be
guarded against and the orchardist
should know the object of his treat
ment. In this connection, however,
a clear concise line of treatment for
the season is most desirable.
Great stress is laid upon the thor

even as Abraham was called to go out
and did so, not knowing whittier he

Heipiessness.
There was a mar there which had a
withered hand. This Is a typical case,
an illustration OF what Jesus Christ
can do for this and other spiritual dis
orders and diseases set forth by all
his cases of healing. And no case ever
is too hard for the great physician.
There was only one thing wrong with
this man, he was by no the
worst In Capernaum. A withered hand
is not so bad as leprosy. But the man
was helpless. Tradition says he was
a carpenter; what could he do with a
withered hand?
What is your condition before God?
You may think 1t only as insignificant
as a withered hand, but you are a sin
ner. The whitening Of the muscle, the
paralysis of nerve, is no more disas-
trous to bodily effort than the blight
ing and enfeebling power of sin is de-
structive of all holy, acceptable serv-
ice with God. Your poverty of life,
your feeble sensibilities with reference
to righteousness, your faint and feeble
desires for a godlike life-how elo-
quent of these is that withered hand.
And if your right hand is withered you
know it, and other people know it too.
Your sin will find you out. Your sin
makes you helpless, your work is use
less, and your testimony is fruitless.
May the presence of Christ help you to
realize how vast and vital Is the help

Hope.
Christ's gracious presence brought
sure hope to that otherwise helpless
sufferer. So far as the record goes,
Christ's gracious Intervention was un-
solicited. But he was there to feel for,
and help, and heal the despairing. Do
you not remember the man at the pool
of Bethesda? When Jesus saw him he
said, Wilt thou be made whole? He
seeks out the sick, the sinful, the sore
distressed. He knows about the sheep
that is lost, and he goes after 1t until
he finds 1t. The sinner may be con-
tent in his sins, but the Savior seeks
the sinner-blessed be his name. That

of my life; that is the comfort In my

which made healing possible. You

many seem to have the little boys
idea of a Board OF Trade as some
thing coming from a wood yard, an
inanimate, inseDsate thing. A real
Board Of Trade is a cooperation or
linking together of every unit Of
/ human activity In town and such
an organization Is irresistible. Too
many Boards of Trade. like Lake :
lands, are composed, 50 far as the
working force is concerned, OF a
very few Of the most active men Of
the town who are trying to do their
own task and that OF big bunch of
fellows who are indifferently looking
on, many of them ignorant Of the
whole business. Why doesn't the
Board of Trade do this or that Is
question that is often asked, but
such questions only come from those
whose interest is not TO help but
simply to critieise.
The Lakeland Board of Trade is
one of the envied organizations of
the State; 1t has a name all over
the State; it has a governing Board
of good. active, business men who.
in taking charge recently, pledged
themselves to make this record

tinued upbuilding of Lakeland and
her surrounding country. These
men, any decent man will agree, are
engaged in a worthy enterprise, one
which while it benefits them will f,
benefit everyone else in the COM
