M. E. CHURCH NOTES

Last Sundays religious activities
in the church were a decided success
at all services. The impression
throughout the Sunday School session
was that it had made some improve
anent since the previous Sundays.
The teachers met for conference,
taking over together the Banner Con-
test that is on.
The morning worship was well at
tended, very helpful spirit pre-
vailing throughout the service. A
solo was sung by Miss Elizabeth Har-
rison which was appreciated very
much. The evening service concluded
the meeting of the day.
Harvest time is here. The farmers
have already commenced to reap the
golden grain which SO beautifully
covers our mother earth But while
in the midst of reaping abundant
crop let us not forget Ife's harvest.
Everybody who has not a regular
place of worship make this church
that place.

soft bodied, smooth skin, black and
shiny insect, larger at one end than
the other, II is biting insect and
eats the upper surface tissues from
the leaf leaving the bare framework
A number of instances where these
insects are prevalent have been re-
ported to Professor NJ b. Cummings.
horticultural Specialist for the Agri-
cultural Extension Service of the Uni
versity Of Vermont, and It appears
that the pest is quite abundant this
year. This note is issued as warn
ing TO people who have pear and
cherry trees to inspect them and IL
the pest is found, remedial measures
should be taken at once Since there
is good set of pears this year it is
important that the foliage be retained
in good condition
When only a few slugs are present
the easiest method is to dust the trees
with fresh Stacked lime. II is well TO
make this application early in the
when the foliage is moist
with dew SO as to retain the mixture
for some time. One or two applica-
ions should prove sufficient il the
