To the Editor of The Times.
While sitting this Sabbath even-
ing quietly musing over the sermon
preached by our Pastor, Rev. Mr.
Finlay, this afternoon, from the text
where the Lord told .the Israelites
that every place where the sole of
your feet shall tread will I give unto
you. Placing this offer 'alongside
of the present generation I think
that the world to -day, especially the
people of the Christian Church, are
missing a great deal of the joy of
reward for service that our forefa-
thers received, in the whirl of ex-
citement for the material things of
this life, such as pleasure, riches,
dress, positions of honor in man's
eyes, and gratification of our sel-
fish 'desires . It seems to me that;
there are a large number who have
lowered the christian' standard of
religious life to where they can
clutch the lever of materialistic self
for six days of the week, forgetful
of their duty to the other fellow and
on the seventh or sabbath day, don
their Sunday garb and rest their
tired frame with a visit to some
relative or friend, where the profits
and gains of the farmers' club or
some other cash saving, self inter-
esting problem' can be thoroughly
talked over. In conclusion • may I
ask is it any wonder that the pray-
er meetings and other• church gather-
ings, that afford the people of God
a place to get their spiritual side of
life satisfied, is fast dwindling away.
The trend of man's ambition is af-
ter those things that the Master told
to hold as secondary in our lives.
It matters not to what creed or deno-
mination we belong we are all trav-
elling to eternity and we shall be
either accepted or rejected when at
last we leave our place here to cross
into that promised Iand.

HERE is a best time to•sow
each class of farm crops to
secure the highest returns.
It is difficult, however, to
know which are the most favorable
dates for the best returns of the dif-
ferent crops in all seasons. The re-
sults of experiments conducted over
a Series of years form a good gen-
eral guide. Some crops give best re-
sults from later r

vary so much that in some years the
grains are practically all sown by the
dates at which It is only possible to
start sowing in other years. It is of
the utmost importance, however, to
start cultivating the land as early as
it is dry enough to work to good ad-
vantage. The first cultivations should
take place for those crops which
should be first sown. In this connec-
tion it is interesting to study the re-
sults of an experiment which was
conducted in each of five years at
the • Ontario Agricultural College.
Spring wheat, barley, oats and peas
were sown on each of six dates. One
'week was allowed between each two
dates. "The experiment was conduct-
ed in duplicate by sowing with the
grain drill and broadcast by hand in
eabbains'tatice. The follo'wing table
gives the average results for the ten
tests in the five-year period;

6th 6.7 18.4 37.0 19.5
It will be seen that the spring
wheat gives decidedly the best re-
turns from the first date of seeding.
There is not much difference between
the first two seedings of barley and
oats, but there is a slight advantage
from the first date in the case. of bat's
ley and from the second date in the
ease of oats. The peas, however,
gave the highest returns from the
second and third dates, and even the
fourth gave a"higher average yield
than the first date. After the first
'week was past there was an average
decrease per acre for each day's de-
lay as the season advanced of 27
pounds of spring wheat, 47 pounds of
barley, 48 pounds of oats, and 20
pounds of peas.
These -esults are of special inter-
est and are worthy of careful atten-
tion at this particular time.

REDS MENACE EUROPE
Hungary Has Joined the Rus-
sian Soviet,
Karolyi Cabinet, After Learning the
New Bormdary Fixed Between
Hungary and Ronn9ania, Itea1glia
ed and a Revolutionary (iovei"5t't
ment Was Formed Which Imaaae-
diately Arranged Alliance With
Bolslreviki.
BUDAPEST, March 2'4,The Hun-
garian Cabinet, headed by Count
Michael Karolyi, resigned on. Satur-
day, leaving the Government to the
proletariat. This action was taken
after Count Karolyi had communi-
cated to the Cabinet the Entente note
outlining the new boundary between
Hungary and Roumania, After ad-
vising Col. Viss, commander of the
French troops of occupation, of the
decision op'' the Cabinet, Count Kar-
loyi then resigned in his turn.
A revolutionary government of
the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers'
Council was then formed.
Alexander Gorbai assumed the
Presidency, Bela Kun became For-
eign Commissary, and Joseph Po-
gany, War Commissary,
The new Hungarian Government
has proclaimed soldiarity with the
Russian Soviet Government and an
armed alliance with the proletariat
of Russia, and Kun has applied to
Lenine for assistance. The proclama-
tion of the new Hungarian Govern-
ment follows:
"The proletariat of Hungary from
to -day has taken all power in its own
hands. By the decision of the Paris
conference to occupy Hungary the
provisioning of revolutionary Hun-
gary becomes utterly impossible.
Under these circumstances the sole
means open for the Hungarian Gov-
ernment is a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat.
"Legislative, executive and judi-
cial authority will be exercised by a
dictatorship of Workers', Peasants' .
and Soldiers' Councils. The revolu-
tionary Government Council will be-
gin forthwith work for the realiza-
tion of Communist Socialism.
"The council decrees the socializa-
tion of large estates, mines, big in-
dustries, banks and transport lines,
declares complete solidarity with the
Russian Soviet Government and of-
fers td contract an armed alliance
with the proletariat of Russia."
As soon as the Hungarian Cabinet
headed by Count Karolyi resigned the
governing party proclaimed martial
law throughout the entire country.
Under the title of "Hungarian So-
cialist party," the Socialist and Com-
munists have combined and will ad-
minister the country.
The Government is reported to be
signing a proclamation acknowl-
edging a state of war between Hun-
gary and the Entente.
A mob stormed the post office and
military buildings and destroyed the
Honved monuments. Red Russian
troops are reported to have arrived
at Tarnopol. All the Budapest news-
papers have ceased publication,
The proclamation of Count Karolyi
announcing the resignation of the
Hungarian Cabinet, of which he was
the head, after referring to the deci-
sion of the Peace Conference at Paris
to occupy Hungarian territory, says:
"The Entente mission declared
that it intends to regard the demarc-
ation line as the political frontier.
The aim of further occupation of the
country is manifestly to make Hun-
gary the jumping-off ground and the
region of operations against the Rus-
sian Soviet army which is fighting on
our frontier. The land evacuated by
ns, however, is to be the base of the
Czech troops by means of whom the
Russian Soviet army is to be over-
come.
"As provision President of the
Hungarian People's Republic, I turn
as against the Paris Peace Confer-
ence to the proletariat of the world
for justice and support."
