that Seattle appreciates a good bas-

Congratulations of the highest

Our Richest Treasure

The Bible walks the ways Of all
the world with familiar feet and
enters land after land to find its
own everywhere. Children listen to
its stories with wonder and delight,
and wise men ponder them as par
ables of life. The wicked and the
proud tremble at it's warnings, but
to the wounded and the penitent it
has a mothers voice. 1t has woven
itself into our dearest dreams: so
that love, friendship, sympathy, de-
votion, memory, hope, put on the
beautiful garments of its treasured
speech. No man is poor or desolate
who has this treasure for his own.

Pack of Seed Nets
Million Dollar Crop
Plant Immigrant Has
Typical Success Story

One package of seed sent home by
a missionary less than 80 years ago
has developed into crop now valued
at more than 200 million dollars a
year. That is the success story OF
plant Immigrant - Korean lespe-
deZa.
Only three decades ago DR.. Ralph
Mills, a medical missionary, sent
package of lespedeza seed from
Korea to the U. S. department Oh
agriculture. Department specialists
planted the seed at the experimental
farm across the Potomac river from
Washington. In few years there
was enough seed to plant lespedeza
at several state experiment stations.
The imported crop fitted well on
the poor, slightly acid soils unfit for
such crops as alfalfa and soon was
being grown widely in the East Cen
trail states as a seed and pasture
crop. Now its use is becoming more
widespread, particularly in areas Of
low fertility land.
The U. S. crop of Korean fespe-
deza, developed directly from the
single package. now is valued at
more than 200 million dollars a year.
Value of the seed crop amounts to
20 million dollars. The hay crop
makes up another 100 million dollars
of value. Although value of the pas
ture crop is difficult to estimate, spe-
cialists contend that it amounts to
at least 100 million dollars. These
figures do not take into account the
profitable use Of millions of acres OF
low fertility land made possible by
introduction of the new legume crop
