Civilization is in the balance. At germination, and for the life of the

earth. The trimnph of civilization
depends, upon men, munitions, 'food
and a patriotic devotion to the cause.
Not one of these factors must he ne-
glected or triumph will rest with our
eaemies. The farmers of this Con-
tinent and of Europe have done nobly
during the past year, but gigantic
problems face them in the, coming
months.
The Canadien Commissioner of
Agriculture has recently made a state-
ment that Canada will be. prepared to
export at least 200,000,000 bushels er
191'7 wheat. The wheat crop of the
United States will probably total 668,-
000,000 bushels, of which at least' 450,
000,000 will be necessary for their own
needs. Recent reports from the In-
ternational Bureau of 'Agriculture,
Rome, indicate an increase in -wheat
for British India, of over 16%. Fav-
orable wheat reports came also from
Italy. A year ago a vigorous eam-
paign for larger wheat acreage in the
United Kingdom was successfully
carried out, but unfavorable weather
has damaged the British wheat crop
to so great an extent that in July' it
ranked 94% as against an average
crop estimated -at 100%. It is obvious

Lesson I. Psalms of Deliverance -
Psalms 85 and 126. Golden
Text.-Psa. 126. 5.
Verses 1-3. Jehovah's loving-kiod-
nees in the past. Brought back the
captivity - Better, "restored the
fortunes." In themselves the words
contain no reference to restoration
from exile; but the psalmist may have
in mind the change in fortune due to
the restoration. Sin arouses the
divine wrath, the divine wrath prompts
the sending of calamity; hence the
withdrawal of calamity proves that
the divine wrath is appeased, which,
in turn, proves that Jehovah has for-
given or removed the people's sin,

growth with the consequent develop-
ment of a strong crown, which in it-
self goes a long way to providhig the
crop with strength to withseand the
cold weather of autumn and winter.
The third method oa increasing -the
wheat yield is by the selection of pro-
per' varieties of wheat and high-grade
seed of those varieties. Soft wheat
produces, as a rule, weak flour. Sound,
plump, flinty wheat of either spring
or winter varieties produces flour that
rises well in the pens,- and produces
bread of fine texture and quality.
The fourth method of wheat increase
is by proper soil fertilization: Men
cannot work without food, neither can
crops. The , tiny wheat plant must
be supplied with a sufficiency of suit-
able, well-balanced plantfood just as
much as the fighting soldiers at the
front enest receive an aleundance of
well-lealaneed diet. -
The Question of Plantfood:
What can be don3 then to increase
crop yields through attention to plant=
food?
First of all,ethe farmer can give the
soil the most careful tillage, as al-
ready stated, which operation, will of
course bring as much of the soil
plantfood as possible into shape for
its consumption by- the plant.. Second,
every grower of'.wheat should as far
as possible, manure his whed fields.
Livestock manure supplies three of

telligence in producing more food; [the important constituents of plant -

and allied people may be met.
Methods of Increasing Crop.
The question the farmer is asking
to -day is, how can I economically in-
crease my wheet yield? My answer
is in five, divieions; first; by- drainage.
Winter -killing is frequently caused
by surplus evater not being able to run
off or percolate through the soil, and
as a result, freezing about the young
wheat plant.
Second: proper soil tillage. The
advantages of proper seed -'-bed pre-
paration are so apparent that it is un-
necessary to go into a detailed discus-
sion of the profit cif good tillage in
wheat production. If the soil is to
righteousness, that is, his fidelity to catch and hold a sufficiency of mois-
the covenant relation between himself ture it must beecleeplyeetirred and
and Israel will become active. This • .
will result in the well-being of the
faithful among his people.
The thought expressed in the first
line of verse 10 is repeated in verse 11,
that of the second line in verse 12.
Verse 13 is obscure. A slight change
in the text makes possible the trans-
lation suggested above which gives ex-
cellent sense. Jehovah's, righteous-
ness, as defined above, prompts him to
bless his 'people, who will enjoy peace
following his glorious manifestation.
Psalm 126 closely resembles 85.
Both express appreciation for past
favors, both recognize the incomplete-
ness of the deliverance, and both pray
earnestly for a renewae of the divine
favor. The historical situation reflect-
ed in Psalm 126 may be the same as
that in Psalm 85.
Verses 1-3. Describe the joy felt
by those who had a share in the earlier
transformation'. Brought back -See

presents the Jewish community.

_
the earlier experience.

terference are exhausted. Streams

with rejoicing andthopse.-For a similar
life-giving return of the dieine favor
the psalmist prays.

and pluinps the kernels; and potash,
which giyes streegthlto the crop to re-
eist plant diseases and hastens the fill-
ing of the kernel. A shortage in any
one of these constituents of plantfood
produces wheat of poor quality. In
this connection it •should be ,carefully
noted that livestock manure, while it
is good for most ceops, it is somewhat
-
unbalanced for production of
wheat, in that it carries a relatively
large atnount of available nitrogen, a
medium supply of potash, but a rela-
tively short supply of the constituent
of plantfood that cahises the crop to
ripen, phosphoric acid. Investiga-
tions have shown, therefore, that the
farmer can very profitably supplement
farm manure with an addition of acid
phosphate. Such an addition re-
duces relative straw growth and in-
creases the production of grain.

Bean growers should take steps to

The Arte of good seed -properly
