spring appear unthrifty, reddish and
finally die. They are loosely at
tached in the soil and may be kick
ed out easily with the foot. The
Strawberry Root Weevil passes the
winter as grubs in the soil about the
roots Of the strawberry plants. In
the spring, April and May, the
grubs pupate and change over to
adult weevils. The adult weevils
begin to appear at practically the
same time that the harvesting OF
the berry crop takes place. Egg lay
ing takes place in the summer. The
seasonal history is sometimes COM
plicated by the fact that some Of
the adult weevils overwinter, COM
ing out early in the spring and lay
ing few eggs. The weevils may be
controlled by the poison bran bait
formula as follows:
Bran-5 pounds
Molasses-1 pint

to the strawberry plants by placing

be taken that none Of the poison

applying the bait to the crown is
more economical and slightly more

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

An expression of the achievement
of our modern age can be found in
the activity called sky-writing. An
airplane, twisting around overhead,
emits smoke which forms letters,
spelling the name of some cigarette,
cereal or candy bar. 1t sounds rather
dull, but behind it lies the modern
miracle of flying, and its accomplish
ment is only in degree lesser than
''mistake-flying" to Ireland. We have
good reason to marvel that modern
man has overcome thousands of diff
ficulties and has conquered the air to
as great an extent as he has. By sue
cessive steps he has overcome the
one after the other of mechanical and
natural hindranceS, and if we are
well enough Versed in aeronautics,
we can name and explain the diff
culties and the way in which they
have been overcome. Even if we
are not well enough posted, we know
that there are others that are, and
that the apparent miracle can be ex-
planned to be smart and practical
application of mans modern knowl-
edge and skill. We are in many
ways proud of the age to which we
belong.
A few evenings ago we were treated
to another and infinitely more beau
tiful form of sky-writing. The north
ern heavens burst into flame and the
Aurora Borealis flashed its mighty
spectacle. Great tongues of pale light
climbed from horizon to zenith,
flickered and disappeared. Other
flames followed, and great sheets of
white brilliance seemed to feed them
from below. And underneath was
a tremendous white line, drawn from
west to east across the lower sky as
if some gigantic hand had under
scored the whole display with a
sweeping stroke. - We were left al
most speechless with wonder and ad-
miration.
The Northern Lights have left mod
ern man speechless in another way
We have conquered and explained
so many things to our own satisfac-
ton that we have come close to the
assuming belief that we could ex-
plain everything, eventually. But the
Northern Lights are beyond u.s. We
can describe the phenomenon, but we
cannot explain The airplane, the
radio, radium, the principle of these
we can explain, but fortunately the
Northern Lights belong to that which
is still a mystery to the scientist.
fla h.
come, if all phenomena could be ex-
planned and controlled. How terrible
if all was available for modern mans
sky-writing!
1t is characteristic of our age, that
we so easily omit the most obvious
and satisfactory explanation of all,
merely because it goes beyond our
own limitation. Why do we hesitate
to say that the Northern Lights are
the sky-writing of God? Obviously
this is the correct and only explana-
ton. What more do we need? We
are awed and thrilled because we
are face to face with phenomenon so
wonderful that nothing less should
be used in explanation.
How small are we not! What evil
dence of real greatness does our sky
writing show? How grateful should
we not be that Gods light comes into
our world, into our darkness! His
light shines for us; may we receive
it, so that the words of the gospel
shall not apply to us: "The light
shineth in darkness, and the darkness
comprehended it not"
