Many Farmers Anxious
to Learn New Methods

Meetings on farms where crops or
live stock were being grown under the
direction of the agricultural extension
agent to demonstrate approved meth
DDS, or other demonstrations in farm
practices given by extension agents,
were attended by over $500 farmers
in 1922, according to reports to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. More than 100000 farmers at
tended extension schools or short
courses to learn new farming methods
which the agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations have found profit
able. The total number of farmers at
tending extension meetings of all kinds
during the year is estimated to be over
100000.

Blossoms of Strawberry :
of Two Different Kinds

Strawberry blossoms are of two
kinds. One kind is called perfect,
staminate, or male, and the other kind
imperfect, pistillate, or female. Some
varieties have perfect blossoms and
other varieties have imperfect bios
SONS. Those with perfect blossoms
produce pollen which will fertilize
both perfect and imperfect blossoms
and enable them to bear fruit. The
varieties with imperfect blossoms can
not set fruit without receiving pollen
from perfect blossoms.

More Nectarines Should
Be Grown in Orchards

New York agricultural experiment
station believes that more nectarines
should be grown. They are recon-
mending the Hunter, variety devel-
oped by the experiment station. The
trees of this variety are described as
being large, vigorous, hardy, healthy
and productive. The fruit is said to
be large, handsomely colored and very
good in quality. It is believed that
this nectarine should be grown in all
the home orchards and might have
good commercial possibilities if plant
ed on a small scale.

Renew Strawberry Patch
for the Coming Season

At the end of the fruiting season Of
the strawberry patch it should be re-
newed for the following year. Re
newal will consist of barring off the
old row SO as to pillow out the old
plants, thus leaving the new plants
beside the old row in a new soil. Keep
the strawberry patch cultivated during
the entire summer.

Apple Scab Controlled
by Spray Application

Apple scab can be controlled by bor-
deaux or sulphur, but the scab
must be watched for. When it first
appears it will show on the under side
of leaves on varieties that are very
susceptible. Little olive green patches
will begin to form. AS soon as these
show their presence, spray pumps
should be put into commission at once

Apply Fresh Hel1ebore
to Kill Currant Worms

If the currant worm becomes seri-
Gus when the fruit is nearly ripe,
fresh hellebore should be used. AS
spray, apply at the rate of four ounces
in two or three gallons Of water; or
the plants may be busted with a mix
ture of one pound of the material in
Eve pounds Of -four or air-slaked lime.

It Is Difficult Task to
Determine Age of Cow

1t is more difficult to determine the
age of COW than of horse. A
cows age may be determined from her
teeth and horns. The number of San
nual rings" on the horns, plus two, for
example, usually gives the animals
age, but remembering that the pairs of
permanent teeth come nine months
apart will help to verify it.

Straining Cloths Need
Efficient Sterilization

straining cloths for milk should be
changed whenever they become soiled.
They should be thoroughly washed and
sterilized after each using. Efficient

or exposure to steam for at least i've
minutes.

Give Dairy Cows Access
To Water at All Times

Give the dairy cows access to water
at all times. If the source Of water in
the pasture lot is a stream, precautfon
should be taken to see that 1t is not
converted into a mud puddle BY the
cows standing in the water. It Is better
TO have the water in clean tank.

Straw Not Recognized
as Valuable Cow Feed

Dat straw is not generally recog-
nized as a valuable food for dairy
cows; yet, If given in reasonable
quantities every two or three days
they will clean it up with a relish,
whereas If given them exclusively as
a roughage they win push it over the
manger and become as thin as string
of shad.

Lombard Is Considered
Plum of First Quality

Lombard is one of the Domestica
or European type of plums and has
been considered one of the best quail
ity varieties However, it is like most
Of the European varieties in it's sus-
ceptibility to rot, and for this reason,
it is not grown so successfully in the
southern or central states where the
brown rot is worse on the plum.

Excessive Amounts of
Corn Not Recommended

The statement that bundle corn is
not good for cows is one of the half
truths that often do considerable harm.
Where cows are fed an excessive
amount of corn, 1t makes what is
known as narrow ration, which tends
10 produce flesh rather than milk.

year-old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Vitchestain OF Pittsburgh, who
has attained reputation in the
New England states as a prodigy"
because of her ability as a preacher
will make her first public appearance
in Washington March 25, at pm, at
Polls Theater, under auspices Of the
Gospel Mission.
According to Rev. G. w. Cory,
superintendent Of the Gospel Mis-
known, was licensed to preach when
only ten years of age. She displayed
unusual knowledge of the Bible and
of such complex theories as evolution,
Darwinism and other doctrines gem
orally understood to discredit the
orthodox belief, and astounded her
auditors by her mastery of English
and her remarkable memory. Mr..
Cory points out that her proficiency
in lecturing on the gospel has led

a medium controlled by an older

said to be a forceful speaker, de-

sociates Of her own age, and appar-
emily unconscious of any unusual
gifts with which she has been
credited.

THE causes Of war were not re-

declared. "Just as much international
hatred and sational greed as ever
exist in Europe today.
1--WE learn from Americans who
have visited Europe that every in
ternatioSal boundary line bristles
with bayonets. The nations still fear
each other and there is no factor
for war which existed in 1914 which
does not exist at present.
Even the fact that famine and
poverty stalks through the European
countries is not a war preventive.
Nations will go to war without
money by mortgaging the future Of
their children and their children's
children"
DR.. Gordon commended the British
labor party for adopting resolutions
declaring that its members would In
the future participate in no war.
DIR. Gordon said the role of the
churches in preventing war was to
try to do away with international
hatred and suspicion and to back all

RUMAN|AN Church
DISPUTE SETTLED
Pittsburgh Conference De.
cides to Organize SeIf-Gov-
erning Organization.

A personal representative OF Prince
Bibexoo. the Rumanian minister to
the United States, has recently re-
turned from Pittsburgh. where ne
was in conference with a delegation
of Rumanian priests, headed by Rev.
DIR. Lazar Gherman Of Roebling, N. J.
This conference was the result of a
dispute among Rumanfan church-
men. 1t seems that some years ago
a body of priests was ordained In
New York by Russian bishops, while
other Rumanian priests were sent to
America from the homeland to ad-
minister the affairs of the Rumanian
Church in America. The conhict has
at times been so bitter that the issue
was taken into the American courts
but without definite results. con-
ference of all the Rumanian priests
in America was held in Cleveland IN
February last. There are forty
the United States with about 100000
communicates, who live mostly IN
the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio. In
diana. Illinois and Michigan. Tnelr
CONGREGATIONS are entirely self-sup-
porting.
Final Action Taken.
The action taken by the confer
ence in Pittsburgh. which is final, Is
distinctly progressive and American
in spirit. After two days conference
it was decided to organize self-goV-
erning Rumanian Church in the
United States and to ask the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church In America to
accord the protection and discipline
of that communion to the Rumanians
in this country. The new Rumanian
church remains in communion with
the mother church in Transylvania,
but administrative oversight is ac-
corded to the National Council of the
Episcopal Church. This arrangement
is not unlike that recently effected
between the Episcopal Church and
the American members of the Czecho-
slovak Orthodox Church.
Important Precedence.
Rev. DR. William c. Emhardt, sec
retary of the foreign-born Amer
leans division of the Episcopal Ma
tional Council, declares that the Ru-
manians have established a precedent
Of great Importance in the future
life of the eastern Orthodox Church
in America, particularly in view of
the world conference on Christian
church unity which will meet in
Washington in 1925.
The National Council OF the Epis-
tion of the Holy Rumanian Orthodox
Church of America at it's meeting in
May next, when It is expected that
the council will advise the Episcopal
bishops in the several dioceses to
exercise ecclesiastical supervision
over the Rumanian congregations
within their jurisdiction.
