STATE TO HEAR
CHURCH TRUTHS
COUNTY CONFERENCES OF INTER
CHURCH WORLD TO BE A GREAT
SERIES OF EDUCATIONAL
MEETINGS.
COUNTIES TO LEARN
MntKc they NEED AID

| Michigan's church conditions will be
brought out into the light, and the
truth laid sQuarely before the people
most interested, in series OF county
conferences of the Intercnurch World
Movement, April 6. Z. and 8.
These meetings of church workers
will be held in central point in prac.
tically every county OF the STATE.
Teams OF well-known church workers
state and national readers i'll the r
enominatlons-wlii address TIE con-
ferences. Then will come the real
matter of inIerest-eacn county VIA
have described to it its own REL glous
condition.
1t wilI be, it is said, very excep-
tional county that does not hear some
more or less unpalataDie truths con-
cerniug unchurcheo areas, or wasteiul
competition, or underpaid and alb
sentee preachers. Not many counties,
1t is stated, are able to show an aver
age ministerial salary higher thar the
average Tor Michigan, which is 1862,
while barely one-tnird OF the entire
Protestant population Of the United
States, according to estimates made
by the Interchurch survey, has an op-
portunity for regular church atten-
dance.
Besides full consideration of local
nrnhlnnnc fhn
conferences will present the outstand.
ing results of the worldwide survey
OF religious, social and economic con-
ditions made by the Interchurch Move.
nent, the material for which has been
gathered from every corner of the
earth. Special emphasis will also be
laid on the place of prayer In Christian
life, the Importance of assisting young
people in the right choice of their life
work and the duty OF laying aside a
definite proportion of income for
religious activities.
This series of conference pres
ents great campaign of intensive
education III practical Christianity
preparatory to the united appeal for
missionary funds which will be held
by the Protestant denominations CO.
operating in the Interchurch Move,
ment between April rs and May 2.
The teams that will address the
county conferences were themselves
trained as faculty" at q series of
state and pastors conferences. Sim
ilarly those who attend the county
conferences will in turn form "facul-
ty" for interpreting the message of the
Interchurch Movement to their local
churches.
Thus it is expected that before April
~ the ideal OF church cooperation adj
vocated by the Interchurch World
Movement, in place Of church competi.
ton, and the program OF evengeliza.
ton that goes with it, will be familiar
to every one Of the fifty million Pro-
testants In the United States.

CRIMSON CLOVER
CROP IMPORTANT
Special interest Attaches to
Flowing Under Green Manure
and Saving of Seed.
PREPARE WELL IN ADVANCE
Material Must Be Given Chance to
Become at Least Partially Decom-
posed Before the Following
Crop Is Planted.

(Prsparsd by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrlculture.)
May Is the month when a large part
Of the crimson clover crop In the
Southeastern states may be harvest
ed. Special interest attaches to the
blowing under Of the green manure
crop and the saving of the seed. the
FIRST because of the high price of fer
tilizer and the second because Of the
high price Of seed. Whichever use is
to be made Of the crop, preparation
should be made we'll I'm advance of
the harvest season, and especial
thought should be given to the crop
which II to follow the crimson clover,
Plow Crop Under.
Crimson clover, like any green ma
pure crop, should be plowed under at
least two weeks before the following
crop 10 planted. If planting Is made
on the freshly turned mass of leaves
and stems, the results are likely to be
worse than II no green manure had
been used. The green material must
be given a chance to become at least
partially decomposed, and the soil
bacteria must have an opportunity to
remove some Of the Injurious mate
rialS that are formed by organic de-
cay. Usually 1t Is inadvisable to fol-
low a crimson-clover green manure
crop with any early-planted crop like
cotton or early potatoes unless the
land can be plowed by the first week
Of May. Corn Is the crop most com.
monty used after crimson clover, as
II need not be planted until the first
of June.
Save Supply Of Seed.
There is every reason this year why
farmers who are to grow crimson
clover next year should save at least
enough seed for their own use. Seed
production Is not difficult matter
and Is, indeed. common practice in
many Of the Southeastern states. The
only equipment required is some form
of seed stripper with which to remove
the ripe heads. The seed need not
be thrashed or hulled, as in the case
Of red clover and other clovers, but is
often sown In the hull, just as II
comes from the field. The seed should
be gathered just as the first blossoms
are beginning to wither, and harvest
ing must be completed within eight OF
nine days, as the seeds shatter badly
when thoroughly ripe. Details Of the
construction of the seed shippers and
other matters relating to seed produc
ton are discussed in Farmers Bulle
tin $40, which farmers are urged to
consult.

DONE WITH ELECTRIC NEEDLE
How Expert Tattooists Create o Per-
! manent Blush on Women Not
Afraid of Pain.

We have always been under the i'm
preston that the English women were
blest with one of the finest complex
ions in the world, says the Electrical
Experimenter, but here comes "a cable
from London telling OF the popularity
accorded to a new fad in the English
city-that of electrically tattoolng a
permanent complexion or blush on the
face. The report goes on to say that
tho pallid and sallow faces Of London
women are being permanently bright
ened and given rosy tint by expert
tattOoists, whose electric needle appi-
cations can be graduated to suit any
physiOgndiiy, and further, that the tat
toOists report they have never done
such thriving and profitable business
among women as now.

How Fear Affects Mankind.

- Man has been oppressed by inhu-
ences making for fear for ages and
he frequently and enormously thinks
It difficult 10 rid himself OF his reac-
tiOnary heritage. His salvation de-
ponds upon an understanding Of his
pllght-upon plight-consciousness-
and upon successful revolt. Fearless
ness must dominate instead OF fear;
mental freedom must put psychic au-
tocracy to rout; the entire mental at
titude must be altered; II is just as
easy to cultivate wholesome attitude
as a vicious one.

HOW TO PREVENT mt, BARK .1ns

IN RUSTIC" STRUCTURES.
TO prevent the bark FROM
taking off logs in rustic struc-
lures, the forestry products lab
oratory, Madison, Wis.,, recon-
mends the following different
methods of seasoning:
l. Cut timbers late In summer
and score on two sides; that Is,
cut off narrow strips of bark for
the entire length. Pile in shade
In open pile and allow thorough
circulation of air. Allow tim
bers to season until following
spring or summer before using.
2. Proceed as in (D and in adj
dition coat ends, stripped por-
lions, and knots with coal-tar
creosote. using one coat n few
days after timber is cut and an
other just before using the tim
berS.
9. Proceed as in ~, but do
not score bark. When timbers
are in place, tack back on with
large headed nails, placing one
to every square foot of surface.
Paint heads of nails to resemble
color Of bark.
4. Tack or nail the bark with
out particular attention to time
of cutting or Dther treatment.
The Failing method has been
used successfully by one West
ern company which maintains
numerous rustic hotels, and also
on large rustic building erect
ed for exposition purposes.
