l visualize a collection of attributes which go to make up a mixture of 2 divinity godhead or some Supreme Being that emphasizes the profound rules of nature. The ancient poets dreamers and philosophers in theiI | contemplations of the nature of the Deity found that they were led into depths beyond their capacity of un. derstanding. No one understands the manifold mysteries of natures rules and laws, but We can profit by some outstanding facts that We are able te grasp. We know that we cannot rear unless we sow and we are enjone6 to SOW and the rule of reason is clearly indicated by Christ, Himself Aside from moralizing on the sub- ject, let it be known that it's get. ting time to plant and those who plant well may expect to reap. just as our Savior promised In his many messages to all peoples.

 Questions and Answers.
 Q. Can you tell me something about the Japanese rose? Mrs. S.. Athens, Ala.
 A. It's hard to tell what you are thinking of as there are so many roses of Japanese origin. Generally speaking, Japanese rose means rosa rugosa, which may be white, pink or red and they may be single, semi double or even double. All of these are characterized by heavy. wrinkl led, dark green leaves and the flowers are followed by large orange -col- cred fruits. They only bloom once in a season.
 Q. What color is the climbing rose called the thousand beauties? Mrs.
 A. Tausendschon or thousand beau ties is really a good pink rambler.
 c. Can you buy in Birmingham the large sugarcane to plant? I want the kind where you plant the stalk not seed.-S. T, Blocton, Ala
 A. Yes, there are some local grow CTS from whom you can obtain. See letter.
 e. I see where sulphur is recom- mended to keep down blight or mill dew on roses. Is this the common sulphur that is for sale at the drug stores?-Mrs. O. B.. Leeds. Ala.
 A. Yes. common, finely powdered sulphur Is very effective, especially where the plant is in foliage; but if plants have been badly infested. it would be advisable to spray them now while dormant with lime sul- phur. This chemical can be had in powdered form and nothing to do except to mix in water and apply as a liquid spray. Other prepared rem edes such as 40 Dust" is also eff cient.,
 Q. Do you think it now safe to plant early garden corn?-H. A. Tus- caloosa. Ala.
 A. It is early to plant corn, but no one could forecast the weather There is not much involved in .the matter of expense of seed, and in case it be killed the loss is little.
 V. Hdu two patches or sweet peas when the recent freeze occurred One was about six inches high, the other not over an inch or so. Both lots have turned white and seem to lay over on their sides. Do you think they are dead and would you advise planting over?-Mrs. B.. Fair field, Ala.
 A. That Is a difficult question to answer conclusively. Much will de- oend on the root system which really should be strong enough to produce other sprouts, but second growth will mot ordinarily produce as thrifty vines or as large flowers. The depth of the roots will be the main factor in their throwing out vigorous growth The smaller plants are not likely to suffer as much as the larger ones It is probably best to wait and see how the plants recover As | matter of fact. fine sweet peas can be grown planted as late as the mid dle of March and even later
 Q. What about growing canary seed in this county? Where do the
