In Illinois. farmers found that once
the corn rots were fully established in
the soil, their attraction for the mois-
ture escaped. The only cultivation they
found valuable was to keep down the
weeds, which used up the moisture.
Three-fOurths of the corn roots do not
go deep. but establish themselves In
the cultivated soil. and the less they
are disturbed at their meals the better
crop results are attained.

The case was decided in favor of thu
holding in substance that the interest
of the homesteader in lands of this kind
may be taxed. SQuires' farm was as
sessed at $1,0S5, or 50 per acre, the farm
consisting OF 100 acres, Of which 87.s
acres are irrigable. Squires had made
nnal proof on the tract, but a patent
had not been issued to him by the gov
eminent when he was taxed in 1914 and

The figure from nature indi-

the infinite life, such one will have a
wholesome and fruitful life.
Jesus spoke of his joy an hour before
his agony. That joy was full and IN
impaired, even by the shame and suf-
fering of the cross. The
substance of this figurative and horta-
tory sermon is the necessity of vital
union with Jesus, and the blessed re-
suits of that union. Not
all the objects from Herod's temple
carried to Rome to grace Titus tri-
umph were craven on his arch along
with the golden candle stick. The gol-
den vine may have been among them.
1t makes little difference, however, for
that for which the vine stood had been
already transferred to the Christian
commonwealth. Jesus and his
disciples supplant the Hebrew ecclesias-
ticism. 1t was no longer the true vine
which the Heavenly Father had plant
ed. 1t is as if Jusus has stripped the
golden vine from the temple and placed
it on his church.
