the most economical power
when it is used for at least 600
hours Or Mere per year on the
farm, A diesel tractor used for
500 hours per year will snore
than take care of the higher or-
iginal cost by fuel savings• over
a period of five to' six years.
When less hours are worked, per
season the high compression
gasoline tractor would be the
most suitable choice, *
The diesel tractor at present
fuel prices supplies the most
economical power, The over-all
saving secured is a result of the
lower fuel bill, This saving is
obtained because of the lower
price per gallon aa well as the
lower fuel consumption ,per
hour. Attention then should' be
given to the fuel consumptioh
of both, gasoline and diesel trac-
tors as well, as the price. This
information ean, be found in the
NelaraSka Tests; if the tractors
have been 'tested. A- fuel spread
of at least five cents a gallon
should prevail before buying a
diesel tractor. * *
Another importaat fattor in
selecting, a tractor is the size. If
possible, a tractor should be
chosen of sech a size that its
load for most of the time will be
at or near the rated load for best
economy, Either over under
powering results in an unecon-
omical farm unit. Consult the
Nebraska Test figures when se-
lecting the size. Be careful to use
the rated load rather than the
maximum 'load figures. Horse
power requirements for hilly or
soft footing conditions should be
increased approximatelY 25 per
cent to insure adequate power.

Luke 13:5.
Old 'Testament prophets an• d
John the Baptist were preachers
of reppritauce, So was Jesus end
the Apostles after him, It is still
an important theme,
The idea has long prevailed
that people who suffer must
have sinned greatly to be visited
with afflinfbn. Jesus put it in a
different light when he said,
"Those eighteen, urOn whoM the
toWer of Siloam fell, and slew*
them, think ye that they were
sinners above all men that dwelt
in Jerusalem? tell you, NaYs
but, except ye repent, ye shall
all. likewise perish." All have
sinned and are urged to repent. * ,*
We preach Much about tne
sins which men commit but
Jesus in his parable spoke more
Of the sins of omission. Vor three
years the Eg tree bore no fruit.
It.was given another chance and
special ,care. If it still proved
fruitless it was to be ctit down.
"Let us ask ourselves ,if,,we have
brought a soul to Jesus Christ
in the last three years. How long
will God tolerate our fruitless-
ness?
The tree was typical of Israel
and of the capital city Jerusa-
lem, Jerusalem, who had killed
the prophets was soon to put to
death Jesus the Son of GOd.,
Jesus foresaw the desolation that
would come upen the city fOr its
wickedness, He gave the warn-
ing but it went unheeded. Ist
less than forty years the Roman
armies destroyed the city.
Repentance is needed tesday*
It has been defined as confession
withOut excuse. True repentance
involves the forsaking of sin. It
is a godly sorrow. When we are
truly repentant we are not only
sorry enough to quit but se
sorry that we will try to undo
the harm We have done. This is
called restitution. Money so re-
turned is called cbriscience mon-
ey. If, 'a wave of . genuine repen-
tance were to sweep our country
a' lot of money would be sent to
the income tax department.

surance cornpanies. If' we don't
repent of our sins now we shall
face them, at ,the judgment. It

whee', stern sawfly coetrel,, na-
ture as a way of assisting Sei-
entift developments. Parasites,
rust, and Wet weather are con-
tributing factors in reducing
sawfly populations,
*
The parasite ,in q u es ti
ictherges approximately the same
time of year as .the adult saw-
fiy, pncl shouts 'around until saw-
fly eggs begin 'to hatch on wheat
stems. These adult parasites then
paralyze the newly hatched, saw-
fly larvae (young), and lay their
eggs on near'the paralyzed in-
sect, When hatched the young
parasites feed on the 'helpless
sawnies, As the parasites de-
velop they form a coccoon in-
side the wheat stem where,they.
eventually Peach maturity. They
-then cut their way out of the
stem and begin looking for more
victims, Usually by the time the
second generation of parasites
reach the adult stage the season
has advanced to the point where
the surviving sawflies have done
their,darnage and have retreated
ter their overwintering quarters
just below the soil surface.
*
Normally only 5 per cent to
10 per cent of the sawfly popu-
lation is.destroyed by parasitism.
Last yew.' in Saskatchewan, how-
ever, dice to a wet season, the
crop was late and even the sec-
ond 'generation of paraSites had
. an opportunity to destrby a con-
siderable number of sawflies. *. *
Strange as it may seem, wheat
stem rust is of some small value
in reducing sawfly damage. Dr.
C. W, 3?aratad of the Entomol-

"Guess dear old Santa couldn't

Kimono No ,More
, A' terrifying earthquake and
the determination of one woman
have- changed the dress habits
of Japanese women and caused
them to discard the traditional
kimono for Western-style dress.
When an earthquake destroy-
ed one-third of Tokio and most
of Yokohama in 1923, Mrs. Yo-
shiko Sugino experienced the
horror of seeing many of her
countrywomen burnt to death,
Many died because escape was
hindered by their colourful yet
cumbersome kimonos.
In, studying this problem she
looked to the West, and tile
fashions of Europe and America.
She encountered tremendous
opposition from the tradition-
ists, and it is only in the last
few years that her endeavours
have yielded definite results.
Before the First World War
ten per cent of Japan's people
had adapted Western clothes,
Now it is estimated that about
70 per cent of Japanese women
prefer Western-style clothes to
the kimono.
- In 1925 Mrs. Sugino founded
the Sugino Dressmaking School,
starting with three students. To-
day the school register bears
almost 7,000 names. There are
54 professors and 100 qualified
instruetors on her staff and her
scheol has two special design
courses and two courses on mil-
linery, as well as a complete
dressmaking curriculum.

discovery Of an nntlaktallY large
nurnber of expertly disMeMber-
ed corpses, found in widely seat,.
tereci regions in end around
Paris during the war years of
1944-49 would normally have led
to widespread investigations. Yet
the "disappearance"' of people
from their llOmea, cOMmen-
place end daily event, was too
easily linked up with the prU-
ence in Paris of the Gestapo Or
with the undergrotind Resistance
organizations.- •
SePternber, 1941, Petiot
bought a building which at one
time had been used as a hotel,
It *as No. 21, Rue "Lesueur, A
nuttiber of inforthodox structure
al alterations were carried out
on .,the building at the doctor's
orders. These included the build=
ing of a high wall Which effec-
tively Screened the 'courtyard
from the inquisitive gaze of
neighbours; the construction of
an odc14 triangle-shaped room;
next to.the doctor's surgery; the
setting 'up of 'blocic and tackle
equinm6neover the-ten foot deep
pit inthe garage; and the restor-
. ation to full working order of
thp hotel's fur`nace,
The triangular-shaped room,
was in effect the -"tertUre TOOm"
of the building Dr. Petiot calmly
described as a nursing-home. The
room, windowless and sound-
prpof, possessed two deors one
of4 which was a, dummy; the
other door' could only be opened
on the surgery Side. There "was
else a° durrimy' bell,push and a
number' of hooks which were-. in.
line with a periscope peep-hole.
The powerful electric light could
be switched on from 'the surgery
only.
These' were the premises Dr.
Petiot used in his, grim trade of
masa-murder. With fiendishAn-
genuity he trapped each viCtim
threngh that person's fervent
desire to escape 'from Nazi-oe-
cnpled France many — if not
most — of his victims were
Jews; and all were reasonably
wealthy.
The, murder procedure was
simple enough and 'alMost fool-
proof. Through his- agents --,
shifty characters of the Parisian
underworld — potential "clients"
visited Dr. Petiot at 21 Rue Les-
ueur.
EaCh client was • granted two
interviews usually. At the first,
mythical arrangement§ for the
client's escape were discussed
and agreed to. The question of
the doctor's moderate fee was
settled also, and — a vital point
— the client's ability to attend
for the secend and, final "escape"
interview SultablY equipped with
money and jeWellery carefully
secreted atiOut -his person, was
tested. „- At athe ;wend inter-
View final "arrangemehts" were
made, including an'airioCulation"
'Which'the doetor suavely insist-
ed was 'necessary under the
entry, reginationa of llie foreign
country to which the client
planned to escape. a

The doctor was not satisfied
with the money he made from

This was foundeout and in May,
