The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1937-06-24, Page 6THURSDAY, JXW JMth, 1937 THE CONSTITUTION OF WHEAT ’• Ontario AgrieuIlwRl College in vestigations indicates tbat there must t>e more than 80 parts per mil lion or 16Q pounds per acre (plow depth) of soluble phosphric acid in a soil it it is to produce a reasonably good crop of wheat. If there is more than this, the yield will be higher and the quality of the grain Will ‘be better. Phosphorus, or phosphoric acid, gives the crop pow er to make root, and abundant root system means that the wheat crop is equipped to make maximum use of the plantfood in the soil. Many Ontario soils are running short of available phosphoric acid. At least three things have caused this shortage; 1st—'Heavy grain crops, that have been harvested year by year, longer than you can remember, have drawn heavily upon the supply of available phosphates in the soil. Some man ure may have been returned to the soil but manure is relatively weak in .phosphates, because farm ani mals take this element from their feed to build bone, muscle and blood 2nd—Soils that are becoming acid in reaction—or sour— lack lime which soluble phosphates may com bine till called upon by cross. Sol uble phosphates on acid soils tend to form combinations with iron and aluminum. The product of such combinations is of very little or no use to growing crops. 3rd—Sometimes very heavy appli cations of lime on soils cause sol uble forms of phosphorous to change to insoluble forms. Best conditions for wheat are ob tained when soils are neutral to slightly acid in reaction. i Phosphorus Needs Help While phosphoric acid is so wide ly needed for Ontario grain crops, it is not the only plantfood that is re quired. Where top growth is short and spindly, and pale green in color, there is .usually a shortage of nitro gen. Nitrogen makes top growth or straw. Manure is .high in nitro gen—hence makes heavy top growth If the growth of top is slow, spindly and shiny pale green in col or there is an indication of potash shortage. Potash influences the ■health and strength of the crop, and determines the filling of the kernel of wheat or other grain. Abundance of potash means well-filled grain.

SWITZER Granton, Ontario Eczema On Her Hands Hardly Put Them In Water Mbs. Joseph R. Gerber, R.R, No. 1, Mill bank, Ont., writes:-—"Several months ago I ■Was troubled with eczema on my hands* "I could not help with the milking my hands were so sore and itching, and I could hardly put them in water. After I had taken one and a half bottles of B.B.B. I found my hands were healing very quickly. I have never found a remedy to compare ■with for purifying the blood.’’ OM of Go-. Ltd., Toronto, Rurdock Bitters 1 Tested Recipes Asparagus, the Aristocrat The tender shoots of asparagus contain all the treshness of spring and should b© cooked as soon as pos sible after cutting, because this ar istocrat of vegetables is so delicate that, as soon as it is cut from the underground stem, the fibre begins to toughen and the flavour deterior ates. A few tested methods of serv ing asparagus are suggested by the Fruit Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Asparagus Short Cake 12 stalks asparagus 1 cup cream sauce 6 baking powder biscuits Cut asparagus in one inch .pieces and cook in salted water 11 minutes Drain and keep hot. T'o prepare the cream sauce, use 3 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 cup as paragus water, J cup of milk, one- quarter tea-spoon salt and pepper. Melt the butter, add flour, and stir until it bubbles; gradually add the hot water in which the asparagus was cooked, then add the milk. Stir and cook until smoothly thicken ed. Add seasonings. Split and butter hot baking-pow der biscuits made from one’s own favorite recipe. Arrange half bis cuits on serving plate, pile gener ously with asparagus, pour cream sauce over each, place other halt of biscuit on top, buttered side.up. Cover with asparagus. Use cream sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place in the oven a minute to reheat before serving. Economy Soup To one cup of asparagus liquid add J cup cold mashed potatoes and cook together five minutes, then rub through a sieve. Melt one teaspoon of butter in the saucpean, add one teaspoon of flour and blend well, .add. strained liquid Stir until smooth Add one cup milk and stir until hot. This quantity serves four persons. Asparagus Rarebit This is an excellent method of us ing left-over asparagus. 1 tablespoon butter i cup milk 1 tablespoon tomato catsup 2 cups cooked asparagus cut in pieces 1 tablespoon flour 1 cup grated cheese J teaspoon salt Melt butter in double boiler. Add flour. When blended, add milk slowly, stir until thickened, stirring constantly, Add -cheese, -catsup, salt, and asparagus. When cheese is melt ed, serve on toast squares. Serves four. CANADA’S TRADE WITH BULGARIA The kingdom of Bulgaria is a Balkan country of about 40,000 square miles, almost exactly the same size as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combined, its seaboard entirely on the Baltic. There are six million inhabitants, who may for general purposes be classed as Slavs with the reservation that in an earl ier stage they may have been Mon gols. Although the national relig ion to which the sovereign must be long is Greek Orthodox, Bulgaria has had its own church and hier archy since 1870. The people sided with the Central Powers in the Great War and lost much territory, includ ing access to the Aegean ,Sea Bulgaria is largely an agricultur al state and is one of the richest countries of Europe in respect to livestock. Ninety per cent of the exports are derived from cattle breeding and cro-p taising. The val leys are famous for their flower gardens, like all Balkan valleys, and the preparation of otto of roses is a Bulgarian monopoly so far as Europe is concerned. Eulgarion otto is said to surpass in and strength that of Persia and In dia. Canada’s trade with Bulgaria is more or less indirect. That is, most of the commodities we send and re ceive .go and come via other coun tries. The only direct import of any importance is cheese of a- variety which some people like particularly well. We got six thousand pounds of it last year. Our main exports are rubber tires. The foregoing comes from the Ex ternal Trade Branch of the Domin ion Bureau of Statistics, Department of Trade and Commerce. Masonic Order at Centralia A Chrtstiap aught to bo a Rotter Christian. Because he is a Mason and a Mason aught to be a better Mason because he is a Christian, says Rev. R. N* Stewart. The following is the synopsis of the sermon delivered to the Masonic Order in Centralia United Church by Rev. R. N. Stewart on Sunday even ing last. Rev. Mr. Stewart took for his text I. Corinthians 13:2 “Though I understand all mysteries and all knowledge , . . and have not charity I am nothing.” The speaker said that he did not know whether the Apostle Paul had ever been initiat ed into the rites and mysteries of free masonry or not, but from an acquaintanceship with his life and work it is abundantly clear that he could have qualified for acceptance in any masonic lodge. In this great ly beloved chapter, addressed to a Christian group at Corinth, Paul emphasizes one of the cardinal prin ciples that should reign in the life of every Mason. The principle of charity should permeate all our re lationships and to actuate all our fellowships. It is a great thing to be a prophet, it is a worthier ac complishment to have penetrated the mysteries of knowledge, 'but it is a greater thing to reveal the spirit of charity, love, brotherhood, in our human relationships. Paul is thinking of the charity which springs from a heart of love and surrounds a lonely and distressed soul with that fellowship, that human sym pathy, that feeds not only the body but refreshes the spirit and gives new courage and new hope to the recipient. Jesus said “For I was an hungered and ye gave me meat, i was thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and ye visited me, I was in prison and ye ministered unto me” and in asmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye did it unto me. There is something more than bare charity, there is that spir itual quality which blends, charms and gives it a supreme value. This evening I want to stress this quality which is common to a good Christian and a faithful craftsman. The Mark of Brotherhood Charity is the mark of brother hood and while jt may ordinarily be revealed to those who are bound most closely to us by the bonds of common love and a common obliga tion, yet brotherhood knows no boundaries of class or color,, race or creed “except faith in a supreme be ing.” Brotherhood -knows no na tional borders and yields to no dic tation save want and necessity. The Mark of a Master Mason •Charity is the mark of a Master Mason. Every craftsman aught to become a better workman as he con tinues to -labor. We ought to be striving for greater moral protection as we continue to heed the call to labor. We ought to be climbing upward upon the ladder that leads to the summit of success. In the craft as 1 understand it that ladder has three principal rounds namely faith, hope and charity, and the greatest of these is charity. Charity towards all men. This mark of a master mason is the most coveted of all. I wonder how much actual striving we do to reach this pinnacle which is so sublime. One who is so young in the work is in no position either’ to speak of wisely or criticise fairly. But 'from a longer experience with those who obligate themselves to equally high and noble undertakings in the church may I suggest certain points at which there may be possible weak nesses. In the Christian church I have noticed not a few who have desired to unite with this fellowship of people, who own Christ as Lord and Saviour, they have taken vows that were sacred and exacting but some seem promptly to have forgot ten their lofty purposes Which were henceforth to command their lives. They have ceased to strive, have been dilatory and careless in seek ing to go on to perfection, with the result that with the passing of a few years they cease to possess any of the qualities that mark them as a Christian. I wonder if there is a danger in a great fraternity that something sim ilar may occur. The demands placed upon a crafts man are rightly high and lofty and the virtues of charity and brother ly love when fully understood can not ibe expressed without one has ascended the moral ladder step by step. Is it possible that we as Ma sons may treat our obligations light ly, that they may be but a formal Creed in which we profess to be lieve but which never expresses it self in action? Can it be true also that if as true and faithful _ crafts men we were true to our obligation, there would be much more of char ity, honesty, truthfulness aiid square dealing and much less of class war fare and economic oppression among meh? rJLhe Mark of a Christian Charity is the mark of a Christian. We who own Christ as our Lord and Master have seen in his faultless character the perfect qualities of manhood and perfect righteousness. He revealed and exemplified from day to day his beautiful and‘price less character. Notice with what courage and compassion he treated the hungry multitudes, with that tenderness he ministered to the sick and afflicted and with what willing ness he restored to mothers and fathers their children stricken in death, We see too with what char itableness he counselled the sinners who had gone astray. Through his ministry he has showed us charity in THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE HIS LUMBAGO WENT IN TWO WEEKS Never JFelt Better in his life Though .he tried many so-called remedies, this man continued to suf fer with lumbago for years, It troubled him, in fact, until he found the right .remedy, Kruschen Balts. These are his own words; “I would like to tell you of the benefit I derived from taking Krus chen Salts. For some years past I have ibeen a sufferer from lumbago, I tried no end of other remedies, but got no relief whatever until one day I saw Kruschen advertised and thought I would give it a trial. I did, and to my surprise, the lumbago left me after taking Kruschen for a fortnight. I am now taking it reg ularly every day and never felt bet ter in my life.”— W. K. Kruschen is a combination of mineral salts which assist in stim ulating your liver, kidneys and di gestive tract to healthy, regular ac tivity. If you could see how Krus chen dissolves away uric acid depo sits, you would agree that the Krus chen treatment should bring relief in case of lumbago. action, that love and .compassion and desperate concern for the physical and spiritual welfare of mankind marks his life with true greatness and gives proof of his claim that he was the Son of God. Men and women feeling the claims of Christ upon theid lives have gone forth over the land and sea to exemplify his spirit of concern, compassion and brotherly kindness to those of vary ing classes, colors and creeds. Jesus not only teaches all the principles of masonry he fulfilled them in his life and ihas called liis followers to act accordingly, promising the bap tism of the Holy Spirit that they might be guided and strengthened in the mighty task. May I point out to you that while the obligations of your Order bind you to observe certain practises that are Christian, at the same time you ,need all the asssitance and added <n- spiration and dynamic qualities which Christ and his church provide .if you would rise to the fullness oi your station as a true and faithful craftsman. A Christian ought to be a better Christian because he is a mason and a mason ought to be a better mason because he is a Chris tian. Let us be cautious that we do not let our masonry become a substitute for religion. STUDY THIS YEAR’S CROPS Not much can be done to improve the 1937 grain crop at'this stage, but a great deal of help can be given the fall .wheat crop you sow next August or September. If you have a good supply of manure for the wheat field of 1937-3 8, supple ment it with 250 lb. of Superphos phate per acre. On lighter soils the same amount of 0-12-6 or 0-.12-10 would .pay you better. If manure is scarce, use two to three bags of 2-12-6 -or 2-16-6 on heavier soils, or 2-12-10 on lighter soils. • The additional nitrogen and pot ash not only give better growth to the wheat which enables it to sur vive hard weather conditions, but this added fertility gives definite help to the stand of alfalfa or other legumes you sow on the wheat next spring. The constitution of this year’s wheat crop gives you a very definite line of what to do for next autumn’s seeding. Approximately 400,000,000 acres, or one per cent of the total land m the world, is planted to wheat each year in the various countries. This represents about 11 per cent of all land in the world suitable for wheat cultivation. Soviet Russia claims that its agri- cuture is now mechanized on the largest basis in the world, with 400,000 tractors at work and 63,- 000 to be added in 1937. It is plan ned to bring the number of com bines up to 118,000 to double the number of grain seeds and triple the number of cultivators. The amount of wheat in Canada used as feed for livestock and (poul try during the m’op season 193 6-3 7 is preliminarily estimated at 12,- 774,000 (bushels, a decrease of 8,- 000,000 bushels from the former season. The decrease occurred al most entirely in the Prairie prov inces and .was due to the smallness of the crop, it high quality, and the higher prices prevailing during the current season. Returns recently completed show that Australia will have available for export in the current year a record ipack of canned fruits, amounting to approximately 1,240,000 cases. The total production in that country for the season Is estimated dt about 2,- 040,00'0 chses. STAFFA (Crowded out last week) Miss Marguerite Sillery Reg.

A NEW BRITISH COLONY •Great interest was created by the announcement in London last week that on April 1st last, the Indian Province of Aden had become a Bri tish Colony. Situated close to the entrance of the Red Sea and a port of call on the highway between Unit-1 ed Kingdom and the Far East, it isj a. place of importance. The natives are mainly Arabs and Somalis from Africa, all speaking Arabic. The po pulation is 51,000. It is a small place in itself at the south-western^ tip of Arabia, being only 75 square miles in extent, with the protectorate, totals 52,'0i00 square miles, somewhat smaller than Nova Scotia and New Brunswick combin ed. The protectorate comprises ter ritories and dependencies of chief tains who have treaty relations with the British Government. Aden has .for many centuries been* a place of great strategic importance It was fortified by Solyman the Magnificent, the Turkish potentate, of the 16th century, who, although his reign is mostly associated with wars against the Christian powers, was a progressive and enlightened • ruler. After this Aden was occupied successively by the Portugese and the Turks, until it became a Birtish possession a century ago. It is the only fortified point between Egypt and Bombay and is, therefore, in a very real sense an outpost of the Empire. Canada’s imports from Aden are not very large and consists mainly of green coffee, fur skins and tobac co .but there is a comparatively large export of 'Canadian commodities, particularly automobiles. We sent 5 0 last year. With tires and accessor ies, some wheat, canned salmon and a few medicines, the total was $120,- 000 according to the External Trade Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Department of Trade and Commerce.

The junior and intermed iate classes of the Sunday School Sala H"J>W Liadted, Taaata on the Highway WHETHER YOU are.a salesman or a customer, a manufac turer or a farmer, you, like most people, think and practise courtesy towards those with whom you do business* You thus lighten the burden of Work and add to the pleasure of the days. But do you carry this same courteous habit of thought and action onto the highways and practise it towards your fellow motorist when you are driving? Unfortunately many do not! And why? There is no real reason. They just THINK differ ently towards their associates of the highway than towards their business associates. I suggest to such drivers that you how resolve to Try Courtesy in your driving. That you refrain from “cutting in” which is one of the" greatest hazards of present-day traffic and may put you or the other fellow or both of you irt the ditch. Try Courtesy instead. That you drive at the speed of the traffic you Are in and never “hold up the parade”. That you keep well to the rightist all times—-there is lots of room. That you never pinch, pocket, or otherwise put your fellow-motorist “on the spot”. Try Courtesy instead.
