seeds would pop up and start
growing like crazy"
Most planting, is done me-
chanically. And there's on ma
chine that transplants; it picks
up 10000 tiny pepper plants at
a time, moving them to a new
plot where they are set down
at wider intervals.
Pineapples are growing now,
and a few banana trees have
been set out. These crops take
longer to begin producing, how
ever. Vegetables, meanwhile
continue to grow the year
around.
The land had never been cul-
tivated, Mckinney said; and
it's free. The British call it
free enterprise land, open to
anyone who wants to cultivate
it."
The garden fields were all
flat, treeless grasslands, rath-
er soggy, and rich black in
color. Drainage in this ever
raining climate is a problem,
and even radish patches are
planted with drainage furrow
after every eighth row. In the
real rainy season, from Novem-
Der to March, when it pours
continually instead of often,
melons can't be grown but veg
stables keep right on growing,
so there's never a non-produc-
tive period.
The story that crops had to
be pollinated by hand because
there are no bees to carry the
dust from plant to plant is
hooey, Mckinney says. There
are plenty of bugs and ants to
do the job. Ants are fine at it.
IF l only had this farm back
home where there's a real mar
ket-I'd retire rich in a couple
of years."

The golden text was from James
1:17 every good gift and every

Among the citations which com
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: II know
that, whatsoever God doeth, it

(Ecclesiastes 3: 14,15).
The lesson sermon also included
the following passages from the
Chri tian Science textbook

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

THE old idea of the treatment
i OF tuberculosis OF the lungs
which prevailed when | started
In the practice OF medicine was
that the essentials were rest,
open air and nourishing food.
Well. IL took US a long time
TO realize that We were just
fooling ourselves and the pa
tents.
Then. as now. three-quarters
OF our patients were quite ad-
vanced with considerable lung
destruction.
We put such a patient TO bed
for a year and in the open air.
or opened all the windows. and
fed him plenty OF food.
He fattened up and looked
fine. The open air soothed
down his lungs and the inflam-
nation. so he quit coughing.
And then we pronounced him
arrested and let him get up and
move around or 20 TO work.
and the result was half the time
he came back 10 us within three
months worse of than he had
ever been.
GO ALONG about the time OF
~ the end OF the first World
War the idea became universal
among students OF the disease
that we should really put the
lung to rest and TO do this We
would have 10 put II out OF
commission.
This was accomplished by
some form Of surgery.
The simplest form is 10 intro
duce air under pressure in be-
tween the two layers Of the
pleura between, in common
language. the chest and the
lung.
This air under pressure
squeezes the lung down.
squeezes the pus and inflam-
matory exudate out. brings the
walls OF cavities together so
they can heal. II is called
pneumothorax.
This has made an enormous
improvement In the number Of
arrested and cured cases.
Open air and nourishing diet
are not given up, but they are
now considered as OF secondary
importance.
The ideal situation Is that set
up with this very problem in
mind by Altro Garment work
shop in New York. Every
worker in this plant at some
