One Of the Scripture selections in
ciudcs the following verses from the
Acts: "Aud when Paul had gathered
n bundle of sticks, and laid them
ON the fire, there came a viper out
of the heat, and fastened ON his
hand ... And he shook off the beast
into the fire, and felt no harm. &.
And ii came to pass, that the father
of PubliuS lay sick Of a fever and
of a bloody fIuX; to whom Paul Ell.
tered in, and prayed, and laid his
hands on him, and healed him. So
when this was donc, others also,
which had diseases in the island,
came and were healed. -
\ corrclatIvc passage from
- Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy, states: ''The divine Love,
which made harmless the poisonous
viper, which delivered men from the
boiling oil, from the fiery furnace,
from the Jaws of the lion, can heal
the sick in every age and triumph

SparrOWS Drawn
By Carelessness

If English sparrows are over
abundant it may be the result OF
carecssncss. The sparrows are
canny foragers and flock to a To-
cality offering abundant feed.
There they multiply at an alarm
inc rate. Carclcssness in feeding
poultry, knothole in the granary
floor, open doors and windows IN
farm buildings, or openings at the
caves create conditions that attract
sparrows. Block the entries to Their
favored nesting places, and the
birds are less likely to be trouble
some.
The next step in sparrow control
recommended by the bureau of bio
logical survey, United States de-
partment of agriculture, includes
The destruction of sparrow nests.
Because the birds are active breed
crs it is necessary to make the
rounds and destroy the nests every
0 or - days throughout the breed
ing season. Nest destruction on "A
community wide scale is more eff
fcctivc than on isolated farms.
Nesting sparrows help the farmer
for Il few days. Before the birds
begin to fly the parehts supply
them with many worms and insects.
But once they are well grown they
fall into the habits of the adults
and become vcgetarians with keen
appetites for grains anc garden
products as well as for weed seeds.
If the grains are housed carefully
the sparrows are likely to be less
numerous and will eat more weed
seeds, and in this way may even
prove helpful to the farmer.

PECAN GROWERS
ARE ADVISED TO
EXPAND MARKET

Although pecan growers produce
annually about l2,000,000 pounds Of
improved varieties, Il recent survey
by the United States department of
agriculture indicates possibilities
for further expanding the market
to take care of expected increases
in production in the near future:
In addition to the l2,G00,000 pounds
of improved varieties which are
there are about 100000 pounds
Of Seeding varieties produced an
nuaIly and shellcd commercially.
Most Of the impro|cd varieties
Of pccans are produced in the south
crn states east of the Mississippi
river Only a limited quantity Of
pecans are imported from Mexico
and there are practically no exports.
The survey shows an average per
capita consumption of pecans un-
shcllcd basis) of less than one third
Of Il pound per year. Probably
less than ) per cent of the nuts eat
en- in the United States are pecans,
although the pecan is recognized for
its high quality.
Advise Better Grading
There are several reasons for this
situation, the study showed The
pecan has been considered Il luxury
nut. Prices for unshellcd pecans
have been higher than for other
nuts. 1t is estimated that about
one half of the grocery stores in
the area surveyed carried unshellcd
pccans. Practically no advertising
effort has been made to introduce
the marketing and distribution of
pecans has not been highly central
lied as in the case of certain other
nuts. Dealers interviewed were Of
the opinion that better grading by
growers and shippers would stimu-
late trade.
