plant. For this method plants are set
in rows four feet or more apart, or
some time two rows are set foot
apart, four feet between the double
rows and both earthed up together.
Plants six inches or more apart in the
row. The new method of bleaching
consists in setting the plants in bed
six inches or more each way, accord
ing to variety, with boards set at the
edges when the plants are tall enough.
The plants as they grow keep the light
from the stalks and bleach them
selves. For this purpose the soil must
be especially rich and moisture plen-
tiful. Irrigation is usually necessary.
The so-called self-bleaching varieties
are best for this method.
Bleaching in storage is for winter
celery, which if thoroughly bleached
when taken from the field will some
times rot in storage. For this purpose
the rows are not set more than two
feet six inches apart and earthed ND
once to secure upright growth and to
start the bleaching. At the approach
of winter the plants are taken up, the
roots trimmed and then packed close to-
gether in pits, sheds or boxes in the
cellar, there they will complete their
bleaching. If little when earthed they
can be more conveniently handled. In
my next letter I will tell how to make
a hot bed and plant incubator.

INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT.

World conditions which form the
task of the protestant churches Of
North America, were outlined in de-
tail, illustrated with pictures and
graphic statistics, in an address which
Rev. R. K. Roadruck, of Spokane, de-
livered at the county conference in
this county on April 7th.
The basis of the address was a mass
of data showing social, economic and
religious conditions over most of the
world. This data was gathered from
far and wide in the scientific surveys
made for the interchurch world move
ment.
"One half of the human race is
without knowledge of medicine, hy-
giene or sanitation, said the speaker.
"In China there are only 1000 trained
doctors and 40O0O0,OO0 people; in New
York City there are 1921 doctors and
100000 people; Africa is not much
better off.
over one-half of the population Of
the globe can neither read nor write.
The largest percentage of illiteracy Is
in non-Christian lands. Ninety-four
per cent of the people of India are il
literate. In Latin America the litter
acy ranges from 40 to 80 per cent. In
parts of Africa people do not know
that writing has been invented. The
money spent on schools in New York
City alone is as great as that spent In
the twenty Latin American republics
with a population of S5,O00,000. The
$4,000 missionary schools and colleges
of India and Ceylon are slowly making
inroads on this ignorance.
Nearly one billion people have
never heard of Christ. This is almost
two-thirds of the population of the
globe. While so many people are with
out knowledge of the gospel, it is also
true that no people has been found
who do not respond to it when it lis
brought to them.
"In Japan with population of 81
10000 there are 10000 members OF
Christian churches. We are not keep
ing up with the normal increase of
population. Most of China is unoccu-
pied by Christian missionaries. To
give the whole gospel to the whole
world is task for the whole church
No one denomination can meet the
task.

cent of all the men between Is and
As; Germany, IL IL per cent; Great
Britain, 2 per cent and the United
States only 1-3 Of l per cent Only

cent of our resources. Only America
has it's national wealth relatively un-
impaired and America must bear the
main responsibility for evangelizing

also gigantic tasks-the immigrants

es in the United States is about 25,-
100000. Membership of the churches
cooperating in the interchurch world
movement is over 100000. In most
of the southern states church men,
bership embraces more than 80 per
cent of the population; in the middle
west it is between 20 and Is per cent;
in the Pacific coast states it is from
10 to Is per cent of the population;
and in the mountain states, including
Idaho, less than 70 per cent"
The speaker told of difficulties fac
ing the church in rural and sparsely
populated areas and how some pastors
travel more than 100 miles between
their homes and their churches be-
cause they serve from one to half a
dozen different parishes. He told of the
lumber camps, in which he said men
were herded together in unsanitary
quarters, and the church had made
little effort to serve them. He told Of
missions which seek to convert the
100000 Japanese in the United States,
who live mostly on the Pacific coast,
and the $4,000 Chinese in the country.
The rural church problem he point
ed out, is shown in the fact that many
churhes share pastor with other
churches and that those churches
which have the exclusive services of a
pastor are growing, while most of
those served by nonresident ministers
are stationary or declining.
1.-The business of the church is not
| to'build itself up out of the community
but to build up the community out of
it's very life. The community church
has been the answer to many of these
problems. One of the outstanding ex-
amples of the adaptability of the
church to the social needs of the COM
, munity, is that Of the United Presby-
terrain community house on the north
side of Pittsburgh, erected at cost

A., and community center" The
speaker told of the hospitals of the
protestant churches which serve the
poor, and of many cases where people
had to go without medical care be-
cause the hospitals had not enough
room. He told of the need Of the
church for 100000 new workers and
! of che requirements of the church col

II there is any shortage Of cattle In this
state 1t certainly is not in evidence in
Okanogan county. One can hardly travel
in any direction In this county without
seeing large herds Of cattle, and wnere
the large herd is absent there are always
a few cow animals around the farmstead,
indicating that the farmer is not over
looking stock as medium of income
Some of the largest herds in the state are
here In Okanogan county. and in addi-
tion to the natural increase there has
been many heards of feeders purchased or
the outside this winter and brought into
the county. In short trip around the
north part Of the county 1t struck us that
there were more. cattle feeding than we
have ever seen at any single season during
the twenty years or more we have lived
in the county. Furthermore, these cattle
are in excellent condition, the owners get
ting through the winter with a minimum
amount of feeding owing to the mild
weather that has prevailed.

leges, which trained students for the
ministery and missionary service. 1t
is for the support of these hospitals
and colleges that share of the finan-
cial budget is to be used.
He told of the low salaries of the
ministers and how the ranks of the
pastors were being thinned out be-
cause of this. In one denomination
5000 churches pay less than $1,000 Il
year to their pastors and the average
is $543 a year; 6,9S6 churches paid
between $1,000 and $1,000, and the
average for the whole denomination
was 1907 year. LESS than 10 per
cent Of the preachers receive what is
deserved to be called salary" the
speaker said. More than 40 per cent
do not receive sufficient wage to
support them"
He told of the financial needs of the
church and of the plan of tithing. He
said that brick layers wages before
the war were 1925 a day; and that ii
one out of each 23 members of the
protestant churches in the United
States had an income equal to the
brick layer and tithed, the sum
brought thus to the church would pay
the total church budget on 1918.
Hereafter the church is to move on
new level, the speaker said. I'VE
cannot continue on the old basis. For
sixty years the Methodist Episcopal
church has been marking time in per
capita benevolent offerings, also the
Presbyterian church, except upon u
higher per capita basis. The benevo-
lent returns of many religious bodies
have moved up and down in fluctua-
TONS The Methodist centenary, the
Baptist victory campaign and the
Presbyterian new era movement have
lifted these denominations to a higher
level.
Thirty denominations are partici-
pating in the interchurch movement,
and the financial campaign April Is
to May 2 is for the purpose of provid-
ing them with an adequate income so
they can face with solid front the
gigantic tasks which confront the
church at home and abroad"
