In keeping with the message Of
Rev. Reuben Peterson, Missionary
of the Auglstant Lutheran Church
TO Africa, the church choir render
ed the beautiful anthem by Gou-
nod. Send Out Thy Light
The message was brought by one
who has spent several years on the
missions fields in the Tanganyika
Territory, East Africa Pastor
Peterson said that Africa u
known by some as dark contin-
ent. Others know Is as land OF
contrasts and still others know II
as the land Of gathering storms.
There Is a lot Of ilhteracy and
illness there. Some are living IN
mud huts and others are living In
homes where a radio and phono-
graph could be found. They have
been victims OF gross injustice. Be
cause OF uliteracy and the color OF
their skin they have been passed
by.
People have smudged the pages
OF Christian history with race
prejudice. We who have had the
gOSpei IOF many wears nave pas
sed them by. We have forgotten
that God so loved the world that
He sent His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have Ever
lasting Life. The missionary brings
the gospel of love. The love OF
God is seen In the acts of the
missionaries.
He said that the African Chris
tians and workers in the church
anew riting the last chapter OF
Christian history in Africa. Their
plea is Give us enough of this so
that we viii know what TO do when
YOU have to leave u.s."
Pastor Carl c. Sunwall Is pas
tor OF the st. Paul Lutheran
church on Marshall Av, and

CARELESS OF nationality or race are
welcome TO our services. Anna

Many Winter Days
Ideal For Work
In Hcmc Vineyards

When warm winter days come
along it's a good time to work in
the vineyard, says John M Amos,
associate entomologist at VPI-
He says pruning Of dead or dis
eased canes and knotty insect-in-
tested wood will do much to inn
prove the vigor Of grapevines and
reduce insect and disease troubles.
All pruned wood, dried-up berries,
dead leaves. and rubbish should be
collected and burned to reduce
trouble next season. Sanitation will
help and a dormant spray of lime
sulfur win kill fungus spores that
may affect the crop.
If many scale insects are present,
a spray of three per cent oil enul-
sion or miscible oil viii be effective
on insects, but will not kill black
rot disease spores. Use one spray
or the other. but not both Using
both sprays viii injue the vines.
Spray when the temperature is
about 40 degrees or higher before
the buds begin growing.
If you plan to use an aIl-purpose
home fruit spray several times
during the growing season, the dor
mant spray can be omitted. except
where scale infestation or black rot
is severe.

Fertilizer Important For Tobacco
But Don't Use Too Much Says Expert

soils on which most flue-cured to-
bacco is grown require more plant
food than the heavier soils on which
fire-cured and hurley tobacco are
produced.
Be sure to use a fertilizer formu-
lated especially for tobacco, warns
Mathews. Such fertilizers are low
in chlorine. Some fertilizers may
contain chlorine in sufficiently large
quantities to be harmful to young
tobacco seedlings.
Plant bed fertilizers recommended
fo' use in Virginia are the 1913 and
SPA Use one to two pounds Of
4-a-3 per square yard on light sandy
less fertile soils and IL to l IL
mounds IN heavier more fertile soils
If you plan to use the 6-l2-4 analy-
sis. use one-third Jess. r. vonr plant
bed was treated with calcium eva
namide in the fall use the lower
rates mentioned above. plus IA
pound of 16 TO % per cent super
phosphate per square yard OF area.
One of the most important stems
in getting a good uniform stand of
plants is to make a uniform appli-
cation Of fertilizer. This can be ac-
complished by spreading half the
favtili7nr in one direction and the
other half at right angles to the di-
rection in which the first half was
spread. Work the fertilizer into the
soil about two inches deep Be Ger
tain to leave the surface uniformly
smooth SO there will be no low
places into which fertilizer and seed
WI settle.
Top-dressing is not generally
recommended. said the specialist. If
definite symptoms of nitrogen de-
ficiency should develop. apply not
more than one pound of nitrogen per
100 square yards Of plant bed Re
member. many plant beds are Sc
verely damaged from the use of too
much fertilizer.

Thirty Prince Edward count.
