Field Peas Valuable to
Use in Rotation Scheme

Washington station not long ago
put out a bulletin on field peas, re-
porting tests with the crop in rota-
tons, and for hogging off in Wash
ington. Here are the high points:
The yield of wheat following peas
is less than wheat following good
summer fallow, but greater than when
it is preceded by corn or sunfiowers.
A larger total yield Of grain has
been secured during equal periods Of
time in the rotations in which field
peas have been used instead of sum-
mer fallow.
The average yield Of field peas fol-
lowing wheat in four different rota-
tons in which this crop succession
occurs is 22.7 bushels, while the av-
erage yield Of spring wheat following
wheat in four rotations in which this
crop succession occurs is 21.9 bushels
The varieties, Bangalia, Canada and
Alaska, seed of which Is usually read
lily obtained, were among the high
yielders.
Pigs fed limited rations on sweet
clover or alfalfa pasture made more
rapid daily gains later while hogging
off peas. In two Of the three years.
experiments, the pigs fed limited ra-
tons were marketed with those fed
full rations at the same weight, age
and condition. The feed cost of the
pigs fed limited rations on pasture
was less than that Of the fulfilled pigs.
The pigs made average daily gains of
from "a to 1.25 pounds each while
hogging off peas. The pork produced
per acre of peas varied from 141
pounds with a 16-bushel crop to pa
pounds with a 36-bushel crop.

Apple-Growing
Season Length
Every Variety Requires Def
mite Number Of Days to
Mature Fruit.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Everyone is more or less familiar
with the fact that certain varieties OF
apples are grown in some sections of
the country and other varieties in 9TH
er apple-growing regions. What. de-
termines such varietal distribution?
Is it the soil, the average temperature,
rainfall, length of growing season, or
a combination Of all these factorsf
Time to Mature Fruit.
) From data gathered during the last
four years, j. r. Magness, psychologist
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, concludes that every ap-
pie variety requires a definite number
Of days to mature it's fruit after the
blossoming season. Some varieties re-
quire 165 to It's days, others $50 to
1856, and still others ripen in less
than 40 days from blossoming time.
Apparently this time interval for ma
turity holds good for the different va
rieties regardless of other factors such
as soil and climate, although these
latter factors do have q bearing on
quality.
Length of Season.
A careful analysis of the commercial
adaptation of apple varieties in differ
ent sections of the United States in
dicates that this length of season re-
quired to bring any variety to ma
turity is the most important factor in
Its distribution. Varieties requiring
100 days or more, such as Winesap,
Arkansas, Stayman Winesap, or Vel
low Newton, are strictly limited to
the South, the middle ATTITUDES, and
the Pacific coast sections where nor
NAL poisoning time is about May l.,
or earlier, and first frosts occur about
100 days later. Varieties requiring
40 to $50 days to ripen, such as JON
athan, Delicious, or Baldwin, may be
grown in the apple districts of the
North where they are used as winter
or storage apples. When grown in the
South these short-season varieties are
fall apples, and If held successfully
must be placed at once in cold storage.
Generally, winter storage varieties
most suitable for any particular Sec
ton Of the country are those varie-
ties which do not attain maturity un-
til cool weather prevails.

Rape Is Best Substitute
Pasture for Hog Family

Rape is one Of the best substitute
pasture crops, for hogs. 1t should be
sown as early in the spring as the
seeded can be well prepared. If
sown in rows, from two to four pounds
of seed per acre is sufficient; if drilled
in solid, from four to six pounds
should be used. The Dwarf Essex va
riety is to- be preferred. If possible,
divide the field into two parts and
pasture alternately.
In securing seeding of alfalfa only
hardy northern grown seed should be
used. The Grimm, Cossack, and On
tario Variegated strains are exceed
ingly well adapted to Michigan con-
ditions. The seeded should be well
firmed and the soil should not be acid
The land should be well drained.

Sanitation Is Big Help
to Reduce Fowl Cholera

Fowl cholera is one of the greatest
menaces to poultry focks, declared
DR.. ]. w. Lumb, extension veterina-
rian of the Kansas State Agricultural
college in a recent radio address. 1t
affects chickens, turkeys and ducks
with equally fatal results. 1t is most
prevalent in late summer, fall and
early spring and is due largely to
changes Of housing conditions and
methods of feeding and handling
which tend to lower the resistance of
the fowls.
Fowl cholera closely resembles
fowl typhoid. In fact the resemblance
is so close that to most persons the
diseases appear to be Identical. Even
trained workers are often compelled
to make microscopic examinations be-
fore definitely diagnosing the disease.
Ordinary symptoms are ruffiing of the
feathers, loss of appetite, dropping of
the wings and tail, a staggering gait,
and diarrhea.
The organism which causes fowl
cholera is microscopic in size, is rod
shaped, and known as pasteurells
avium. 1t multiplies very rapidly in
the blood, causing blood poison.
Sanitary measures greatly reduce
the number of cases of cholera, &C.
cording to Doctor Lumb Regular ra-
lions, good ventilation, even tempera-
ture, pure water, large houses and
large runs are also conditions which
help ward off the disease.

Latest Clock Novelty
Psse one 0n-the pain e gone

A London clock maker has devised
a clock which has no sign of mechan-
ism. The face Of the novelty is en-
bedded in a slab of crystal five inches
in diameter, and the hands, which are
made of platinum and diamonds, re-
volve on thin metal pinion. AL
though the crystal is transparent, no
one except the maker knows how the
clock goes, because there is no appar-
ent connection between the hands and
the framework. The price of such a
clock is something like $4,000.

Useful Manure Floor

The use of the manure floor or stor-
age shed, with an occasional use of the
manure spreader is a step that goes
hand in hand with good dairy farm
ing. Planning the rotation so that
manure may be supplied to the fields
at regular intervals as it is needed
insures uniform, steady crop pro-
duction that is a necessary part of
well-organized farm operation. Neg
lecting the fields that are back from
the barn is poor practice, rapidly
disappearing.

the world exists for their pleasure
and for their explorations. She took
the means of rousing Ahab that
have always been so effective in
stimulating weak and cowardly men
to action. She tainted him with
his weakness.
She asked him whether he really
governed Israel or not, and her idea
of governing was not ruling peo-
pie for their benefit and blessing,
but exercising arbitrary will over
them even for personal advantage.
However, Jezebel took no chances
on Ahab's weakness. She took mat
tiers into her own hands. She con-
spired to have Naboth put under
circumstances where by false wit
ness his life would be forfeited. Nor
did she refrain from making relig-
ion itself serve her own murderous
ends. Her diabolical plan was car
ried out. Naboth was stoned and
Aham went down to take possession
of the vineyard.
Grapes Are Sour
But Gods judgments are not de-
stroyed by intrigue and murder.
Though Naboth was dead, Ahab
found no JOY in the possession of
the vineyard. When he went down
to take possession he found Elijah
there, a prophet courageous and
plain-spoken, bold in accusing Ahab
of his cowardly treachery.
The lesson presents to us in strik-
ing form those problems of Provi-
dence which have been a puzzle
and a mystery throughout the ages.
Why should the innocent man be
permitted to suffer a violent death
under the cruel and lustful intrigues
of Jezebel? we do not know. There
is no special sanctity that guides
the lives of the innocent in a world
like this in which we live.
Men have sometimes taught that
there is, but the experiences OF life
deny the claim. God does not Of
fer His children immunity from sor-
row, suffering, and death. What
He does offer them is the assurance
that none of these things can sepa-
rate them from Him. Jesus did
not assure His disciples that they
would not meet death.
He taught them rather to have
no fear of those who could kill the
body and He assured His follow
ers that the reality of the soul life
could never be destroyed. This is
the great mystery of Gods love and
power that must ever be set along
side the mystery of suffering and
loss. The one thing that is sure is
that we live in a moral and spiritual

Editor Of the Congregationalist
One reason why the Bible has
been so persistent and commanding
in its interest is that in revealing
truth for human life it has made
itself profoundly true and strik-
ingly vivid in it's reflections of hui
man experience and conditions.
Every aspect of aspiration and
emotion, of pain and sorrof, of glory
and triumph, of sin and degrada-
iton, of Sordidness and unselfiSh-
ness, of conflict and strife, is some
where represented in the pages of
Scripture.
Here in our lesson is one of the
worlds conspicuous stories of covet-
oIgness and enmity. A Jezreelite
- Naboth had desirable vine
yard which Ahab, the king, desired
to have for his own. Ahab offered
to buy it of Naboth or to give him
another vineyard, but Naboth did
not choose to sell.
Had Reasons, Perhaps
Possibly, Naboth had very good
reason for not selling. It may
have been an inheritance from his
fathers. For sentimental or family
reasons he may have had every
justification for wishing to retain
it. Apparently this was so, or money
would have lured him to surrender.
In any case, even if it were merely
his individual obStinacy, the vine
yard was his and he was under no
obligation to sell it or give it up.
Ahab apparently was a weak
king. He was greedy and covetous,
but he lacked the aggressiveness to
make his greed effective. I'm
fortunately back of Ahab was a
vigorous and designing queen, a
woman whose name, Jezebel, has
become byword in history, and who
was not accustomed to giving up
lightly her plans and desires.
She was forerunner of those
who regard themselves as privileged
persons, who think that the rest of

world where the judgments of God
surely operate.
The wickedness of Jezebel and the
cowardly acquiescence OF Ahab are
only temporary in their triumph.
With sureness and certainty these
workers of evil go down to defeat,
and successive generations as they
pursue this narrative are conscious
only of the permanency of the VIC
tory of Elijah and the persistency Of
the judgments of God.
