warding all who loyalty serve Him.
With remarkable candor the book
unfolds the misery and woe visited
upon wrongdoers. But with equal
honesty it narrates the good fortune
won by those whose lives have been
inspired by fidelity to the divine
will. It's characters seem a bit shad-
owy at times for a certain amount
of legendary lore is woven into the
narrative. But they are real men
and wOmen just the same. And God
is a very real Being working out His
purpose in the unfolding of the ca
reers of the patriarchs. He is the
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
the God of their individual ipecul-
i~arities and destinies. But He is the
God of the nation, too, moulding a
mighty people to be the chosen in
strument of His providential saliva
ton, the custodian of His glorious
revelation.
In Genesis we see the start of that
long, patient journey which culmin-
ated in Christ.

A New Farming

Time was. when the best farmer prided himself
on blowing the s~traightest furrow, when a mans
ability with the pillow was judged by the precise &C
curacy OF the parallel rows of turned sod in his
fields.
Farmers. too. looked upon hills. dips and any
Irregularities in the surface as hindrances to proper
tillage of the soil and wished their fields to be level
and flat as tables.
The time is still with us. for a large part of our
farm and city population. in which it is considered
good farming practice to plant wheat year after year
on the same fields. working a few weeks in the spring
to plant the crop and a few weeks in the fall har-
vest season with expectations of getting rich on the
lands yield.
All that will be changed now, however. If the
soil conservation service has its way. Instead Of plow-
ing straight burrows, the farmers who follow Sos
instructions will guide their plows in dizzy "S'
tracks down the field, leaving unplowed strips 20 feet
wide between plowed strips 100 feet wide.
Irregularities in the fields surface are well
coined by the soil conservation service man because
that gives opportunity for contour plowing-letting
the burrows follow the natural slopes of the ground
instead of cutting straight across them-which they
claim will both save moisture and stop erosion.
A farmer, in opinion of the government ser
vices experts, should not plant his land to wheat
year after year but should practice rotation his "S'
shaped strips so as to follow or grow cultivated crops
on the land every six years and plant a legume crop
every FIVE years or approximately that.
It's all new and strange to many accustomed
to the old way of farming in North Dakota. but this
new type of soil tilage has been developed during
the recent years of drouth with the purpose of find
ing some way to conserve every bit of moisture that
comes to this semi-arid section and preventing as far
as possible the wind erosion that makes possible the
black billiards. of dust bowl fame.
Many who are naturally suspicious of any at
tempt at scientific farming will be ~skeptical of the
soil conservation service recommendations, but even
the doubters should watch with interest the expert
ments under way in eastern Montana. And while we
press forward with plans for irrigation and other
phases of our permanent rehabilitation program, out
on these %. 900 experimental acres may be growing
another part of the solution to our complex problem,
soil conservation farming.

in mind that this is an acid poison
and it takes "alkalies' to neutralize
acids.
My best success with ivy poison
ing has been with equal parts of
grain alcohol and lime-water. The
alcohol, with its affinity for water,
rapidly eases the inflamed skin, and
the lime-water counteracts the acid.
Apply by cloths soaked In the solu-
ton until the trouble is corrected.
Calamine lotion, which can be pre-
pared, by your local druggist, is also
successful in many cases.
Never treat poison ivy with ONT
ments or "salves"; they simply hold
the poison in the tissues. Sugar of
lead is sometimes used, but is dan
gerous because Of lead poisoning. If
you are extremely sensitive to ivy
poisoning, consult your physician on
the advisability Of the immunizing
serums or antigens.

Rain: So WHAT

Quite a heavy rain shower (.14') was enjoyed
in this immediate locality Monday nihgt but did not
hit north very far. While brief. it was wet and of
course helped soil andatmospheric conditions some

However, nowhere is there discernible any trace

plenty of rain feed could doubtless still be raised,

Many time tables for roasting and
brewing and baking and stewing
have been worked out In research
laboratories and the beginner in
cooking will find them invaluable to
her. But there are many factors
that must be considered in the cook
ing of meats and vegetables. Time
tables cannot specify the varying
age, r%ipeness and size of materials.
The experienced ~housekeeper has
a definite routine she follows In pre-
pairing a meal. Many new cooks,
however. have known the unhappi-
ness of finding part of the meal cold
or dried out before the rest Is done
enough to eat. This is where time
tables prove their worth.
Young. freshly gathered vege-
tables will cook in less time than
ripper ones. Vegetables which have
become wilted will take longer to
cook than fresh, unwithered ones.
The size and shape OF the vege-
table enters into the problem, too.
Small vegetables or large ones cut
in small pieces will cook quicker
than most left whole. The more
surface exposed. the shorter the
cooking period.
Most Of the so-called "%succulent"
vegetables, IL they are in prime con-
dition, will cook in twenty to thirty
minutes. Asparagus. new peas.
green beans and baby beets should
be deliciohsly tender in this length
Of time. New carrots cook tender In

fifteen or twenty minutes. Spinach
is tender almost as soon as It's hot
through. New cabbage will cook In
twenty minutes. Chard and other
green's require twenty to thirty min
utes.
The lima beans Of late summer
need thirty to forty minutes for
cooking. Sweet corn should be al
lowed to boil hard for eight minutes.
Calculate fifteen or twenty minutes
for saute-ing summer squash and
egg plant or forty minutes to an
hour for baking.

cause the finish Is specially made to

Wooden spoons are preferable for

Genesis is a Greek word meaning

What are these truths? First of
all. Genesis insists that God is one,
that He is a Spirit of perfect holt
