AGRICULTURAL NEWS NOTES
Truck Growers Meet

On Tuesday, March / at 1:30 D..
m, in the Stockport opera house.
Mr.. E. B. Tussing of the horticultur-
al department of the Ohio State I'm
fversity will address the people of
Morgan county, who are sufficient
ly interested in truck growing to
attend. Among the other subjects
of Importance to truckers, Mr.. Tus-
sing will go thoroughly into the
problem of disease control, and his
recommendations for prevention of
disease may prove the "stitch in
time" proverb. The truck growing
industry has progressed rapidly up
the Muskingum valley and consider
able new wealth has consequently
been brought into the county. Lack
of knowledge concerning plant dis
eases and their prevention and con-
troll might very easily infiict heavy
losses In any single growing sea-
son. The encouragement apt to
follow would certainly not favor the
further growth of an industry so
economically suited to parts of Nor
gan county. The meeting in Stock
port will show growers what to ex-
pect in the nature of diseases and
how to prevent and control them.

Dear friends in America
Here in the Orient the Western
ers follow quite strict etiquette so
when a business man is leaving port
for home leave, his wife sends
around cards to all their friends
with "P. p. c. printed in the lower
left-hand corner This as many of
you know means pour prendre
congo" and is formal means of
saying farewell. This letter is P. P.
C.
Not that I'm leaving you. I'm
leaving Foochow. For nine years
the Cartwrights have lived here and
I have been tied up with all kinds
of work. district evangelistic,
higher primary school, village day
schools, general evangelism, pro-
motional, editorial, publicity, just
about every kind except medical. At
the last session of our Annual Con-
ference, Bishop Brown appointed me
to fine down-county city, and our
new address is 'Futsing, via
Foochow, Fu''. In the course of
these years I have written you
friends hundreds of letters, and 1
had planned to ask my secretary
and friend, Pang Baik Ming, to type
this one to you as he has so fire.

your missionary friends in your III

times ask God to lead, to bless our
individual service as well as the
cause in general. Two pleas as to
financeg:-
l. If You nave been sending Des-
Iignated Gifts (former1y known as
Special Gifts") be sure to keen
them up to date. The fact that our
missionaries have received so many
of these is the only reason why our
cut was not greater this year. But
let me suggest change in designa-
tion. Many of you say For a preach
err, For teacher, erFor stu
dent 1t will immensely simplify
our work if you will say, For work
under. ........,' - and thus allow
the missionary to use his judgment
as to the neediest place. IF that
doesn't appeal to you, keep on with
the other way
2. Many friends this year sent
extra money, either directly to me
by checks and bank drafts or to the
Board marked, mot for World Ser
vice credit" All such gifts are used
over and above regular appropriation
and in sober truth it can be said
that in 1926 they prevented actual
smashing of our work. 1t is equally
true that such gifts will be needed
in 1927.
Mark your offerings, when sent
to New York, "For work under z.
A. Ward" or For work under r. T.
Cartwright" just as you see best.
Monthly receipts from America DUR
ing the time before your own des-
ignations can reach us will be divid-
ed by US, trying to follow as well as
we can Judge, our probable pre-
ferences.
May the dear Lord bless you dur
ing the new year which will have
begun long before these letters can
reach America. Our Chinese New
Year will not be due until Febru-
airy, so the wishes are still in time!
Very fraternally yours,
Frank T, Cartwright.
