FOR MISSION WORK

(Jay W. Ransom, Missionary, in

ian, March 49,
One year ago today at Brighton,
Tenn, friend of missions made
contribution as a "nest egg" for
Fords for India. Others, when they
heard what was on foot, gave Just as
willingly and just as literally as the
first friend and today we have the
four Fords at work. Today's record
might help you to understand some
thing Of how useful a Ford is in our
work We are in camp at Tabar, or
village No. 80. Soon after break
fast / took one of our Indian helpers
and went to a village some four miles
from camp. ! had not been there for
more than three years. The people
were glad to hear another message,
! think no less than a hundred men
and women and children stood and
listened for 40 minutes to the Word
Then a number bought gospel por-
tions to read at home. We had a
good service and am sure some
fruit will come from this sowing
After dinner, | took two workers
and we went in another direction
some six miles and preached in a
large village, where there is not
Christian. After the Indian men had
both spoken | offered the Word and
sold all the portions | had in the
Gurmuki language. Then all the pic
ture tracts went like the gospels and
then some other portions in other
languages. They asked me to 90
again tomorrow and take more Cos
Dels. | had to decline the invitation
because Of other calls too numerous
to answer Then we visited two other
villages and preached and left behind
the printed Word While we were
making these calls other workers
were here in camp preaching to those
who come to the tents.
The truck had a part, too, in to-
days work We must have wood for
the camp, so after coming home, we
took the truck and went a short dis
lance and brought in a load of wood
from the jungles.
February first four Fords from
faithful friends for the Masters
work we received. Today we dedicate
them to Him for His service. We
had hoped to have special dedica-
tory service today, but owing to the
fact that some Of US are here in
camp and the new missionaries have
not yet come, we have postponed the
day little.
We are expecting the McGills and
the Kennedys within few days and
then we will have the service. The
Indian church has much for which to
be thankful to the American church
The home church has much cause for
thankfulness because Of the Indian
church.
Montgomery Presbvterv will pay
100 per cent of her pledge to the
Forward Movement. ONLY 500 paid

amount will not be paid in due time

fruit, which is the only source Of
profit to the commercial grower.
Another common belief concerning
the strawberry is that commercial
fertilizer for this crop should be
rather low in nitrogen, the view be-
ing that the nitrogen induces
greater growth of foliage with
corresponding smaller production Of
fruit. There is slight foundation for
this theory. However, it is safe to
say that no strawberry field in Ten
nessee has ever yet suffered from
too heavy application of nitrogen. 1t
is true that Strawberries grown on
very rich soil make luxuriant plant
growth, and often ripening is delay
ed, but the final results to the
grower have invariably been profit
able. The cheapest source Of nj
trogen is legumhous crop Of Japan
clover. crimson clover, cowpeas or
soy beans turned under. A heavy
sta9d Of red clover can be followed
with corn or ensilage, and this crop
followed with rye, or rye and Grim
son clover, to be turned under for
Strawberries, insures reasonable pro-
lection from the white grub. There
is no reason why nitrate of soda
should not be applied direct to the
strawberry crop, but it is not com
mon practice, because of the high
cost of this fertilizer. 1t has been
demonstrated that potash is not
necessary in ordinary crop product
ion in Tennessee, and therefore the
most practical fertilizer for the
strawberry in this state is a good
application of acid phosphate 800
to 600 pounds to the acre, coupled

(Article No. 81
There is popular belief that the
strawberry is a good rest crop,
which is to say, that if field some
what reduced in fertility is set to
strawberries the soil will be made
more fertile AS a matter Of fact, the
strawberry is made up largely Of
water, yet the tiny seeds with which
the berry is covered remove from the
soil exactly the same elements Of
plant food that are removed by
corn, cotton or any other farm crop,
namely: Nitrogen, potash and phos-
phorus, which elements must be
maintained in the soil If it is kept
fertile. Economic production de-
mands that more of these elements
Of plant food be applied to the soil
than are removed by the crop. II
this fact, together with the impor-
lance of increasing and maintaining
the vegetable matter necessary for
moisture control be kent in mind, the
strawberry grower will have solid
foundation fer his fertilizer opera
tons.
The strawberry crop responds as
well as any other to intelligent use
Of fertilizers. Almost any soil will
produce strawberry plants, but soil
rich in plant food and vegetable mat
ter win produce the heavy Weld Of
