BIG RETURNS FROM SPRAYING
Additional Profit of $1,000 Secured
From Orchard of 200 Trees
by Nebraska Man.

Another convincing showing for
good returns from spraying trees has
just come TO hand from a Nebraska
fruit grower, J. Ralph Cooper, who has
Completed three years of spraying
work under the direction of his state
experiment station. During the three
years period the unsprayed trees ma
tured only 1874 per cent Of marketable
fruit. This left S6.6 per cent of =
fruit that was fit only for vinegar, anu
gave an annual average income of only
S1.67 for the unsprayed trees. In con-
trast, the fruit trees that were sprayed
four times each season for the control
OF fungous diseases and insect pests.
at cost of "a cents per tree for labor
and spray material, returned an an
nual average income Of $7.3S per tree.
This means an additional profit OF over
$1,000 from an orchard Of only 200
trees.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

After such night as never before
nor since was passed by mortal man, in
the garden, and before the chief priests
and the council, they bound Jesus, and
carried him away and delivered him to
PLATE, the Roman governor, that he
might have him put to death, as a
malefactor, who was perverting the
nation, and forbidding to give tribute
to Caesar. After Pilates repeated as
sertion that he found no fault In him,

tom at that feast to release unto them
a prisoner whom they might select, and
having a notable prisoner who had
been a murderer. he gave them a choice
between Barabbas and Christ hoping
that they would surely ask for Christ.
The chief priests and elders persuaded
the multitude to ask for Barabbas,
and destroy Jesus. When Peter re-
hearsed this in one of his dscourses he
said, "Ye denied the Holy One and the
just, and desired a murderer TO be
granted unto you. and killed the Prince
of Life" (Acts 3 3:14-15). When they
called for Barabbas. PLATE asked,
"What will we then that shall do unto
him whom We call the King Of the
Jews?" or, as ii is in Matt. 81 ID,
"What shall do then with Jesus, who
is called Christ?" They cried out,
Cruelty him" (vss. 5-14). PLATE there
fore took water, and washed his hands
before the multitude, saying, II am in
nocent of the blood of this just per-
son; see We to it." Willing to content
the people he released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus. when he
had scourged him, to be crucified Tvs.
15N and Matt. 27 :24). Oh. but 1t Is
hard to read Ii and write II. What do
all the atrocities of this present war
amount to compared with this treat

all life and breath and all things?
When PLATE said, Behold your King !"
