they. too, were sacrificed.
Aside from some clothing which
happened to be in Delta, the family

wore. The house was well protected

TIME is NEAR FOR THE
IMPORTANT CALYX SPRAY

Our first important step in get
ting fine fruit is to get our calyx
fruit spray on at the right time. Many
make the mistake of applying this
too early, frequently before the petals
have fallen, and before the calyx cup
is receptive. This is not only in
effective but is destructive to our
friends, the honey bees. Others de-
lay until the calyx isrclosed too tight
so that the poison spray cannot enter.
The proper time usually extends over
a period of seven to ten days. when
the stamens have shruken sufficiently
to admit the spray. This is the most
important of all sprays, and if not
properly applied all later sprays are
useless.

HOW TO COMBAT THE GRASS
HOPPER PEST IN FLAX FIELD

Because flax fields stay green later
in the season than most other crops,
flax becomes a great late summer
attraction for grasshoppers. Grass
hoppers can do terrific damage in a
flax field, cutting off the seed bolls
and the tops of the plants.
Where gr~asshopper i%nfestation is
bad, the flax grower will do well to
watch his fields carefully. A careful
spreading of poisoned bran mash about
the edges of the flax fields, regularly,
will Gu down if not entirely prevent
grasshopper damage. 1t is not enough
to scatter a little poisoned bait and
consider it a seasons job done. A
bait must be spread about the
edges of the field through the worst
of the gr%asshopper season if bad dam
age is to be prevented.

ySISEARCE
&

AS the centuries passed, there was
great diversity in the practices of keep
ing Lent, but from the earliest times
ing of meat, and it was deemed espe-
cially pious to refrain from eating eggs
or fruit with a hard covering. In the
beginning there was no prohibition
against the 'Lacticinia," but st. Greg
DRY in writing to st. Augustine from
England laid down the rule: "We
abstain from flesh meat and from all
things from flesh, eggs, milk and
cheese There were special dispen-
sations for eating these products, how
ever and many churches were built
with the gifts for these dispensations.
Thus a steeple in the cathedral at
Rouen was known as '"The Butter
Tower" The custom of giving Easter
eggs, so much enjoyed by the children
of today, arose from the prohibition Of
eggs. The eggs were blessed and CIV
en- to the children.
Although in the early Middle Ages
the rules Of the fast were very strict,
with only one light meal on week days
and that in the evenings, and no flesh
Sundays, the rules began to be less
rigid a little later. 1t became the GUS
tom to break the fast at three o'clock
In the afternoon or the period called
nome Charlemagne is said to have
taken his Lenten repast at two o'clock
n the afternoon. Gradually the time
was moved up to midday, as nome was
a period rather than an hour, and the
was eventually taken at twelve
and the word nome" is per-
Detuated in our word moon"
The collation. was introduced in the
Ninth century when the council at
Aix-la-C hapelle sanctioned that conces-
sion. 1t began with allowing in mo-
lasteries a draught Of water to the
at evening after a day Of la
,or. From this the much larger indul-
,ence was developed. The principle
hat a small quantity of food, but not
aiken as a regular meal, did not break
he fast, was adopted by Thimas
the celebrated Dominican
heologian, and in the course of CEN
uries taking of food not to exceed
light ounces became recognized as a
awful custom of the church. 1t took
he name of collation. because it was /.
rst taken in the monasteries at the
our at which the "Collationes" of Abb !
OF Cassion were read aloud to the {
rethren.

aAl1G z -

In modern times the Catholic church
prescribes rules more lenient, especial
ly for the working people who are not
prohibited from eating flesh meat x
cept on Fridays, Ash Wednesdays and
Saturday of Holy week, and soldiers
and sailors in active service are dis
pensed from the law Of abstinence ex-
cept on Ash Wednesday, and several
other holy days.
Aside from the fasting as an OBJ
ervanc Of the Lenten season the
Catholic church conducts special serv-
ices at stated times and the funda-
mental doctrines Of the church are
preached and other ceremonies carried
out. 1t is the desire that all should
refrain from all pleasures during this
forty-day period and keep their minds
and hearts upon spiritual things.
The other churches that observe
Lent dispense with the fast but stress
the period as a time for self-examina-
ton and prayer, and reconsecratioD
to Christ. Their members also dis
pense with ordinary worldly pleasures
the Lenten season and observe
1t as a period Of extra religious effort.
