The object of this department Is to place at the see

authority on all subjects pertaining to soils and crops.
Address all questions to Professor Henry Q. Boll, In

to, and answers will appear In this column In the order
in which they are received. When writing kindly men.
Con this paper. As space Is limited it Is advisable where
immediate reply Is necessary that a stamped and ad•
dressed envelope be enclosed with the question, when
the answer will be mailed direct.
D. H. B.: -Would you recommend
soybeans and corn combined for silage,
would the combination add enough
value to the silage to warrant the out-
lay for the beans? Should soybeans
be planted at the same time at the
same depth, In the same hill as corn?
Will the beans and corn mixed give
.a fairly even stand when planted with
hand -planter? Can you say approxi-
mately how much seed of soybeans
la +required per acre? If there is more
than one variety, which Is best adapt•
ed for sandy soil?
Answer: -In Missouri, where they
have an exceedingly long season of
growth for corn, it is 00010100 practice
20 sow soybeans and cowpeas, especi-
ally the latter. with corn. In many
seeti"ae the corn is not harvested,
but hogs are turned in as soon as the
crop has made setisfaetory growth
ane; the crops are "bogged off." The
growing season in Ontario would not I
artmit of'.hls sort of medics. On the
other hand, I believe it would be quite
profitable to grow so»beans and corn
separate and possibly mix them wher
the plat -trial is being cut for the silo.
Tinder such conditions they should be
out green for hay when the pods ere
well formed, and before the plant :m-
etes to show signs of ripening. henry

are touched upon with the exception
of iuoenlntion. Inoculating beans
means introducing the form of bac-
terial life that grows naturally on the
roots of this legume. This is best done
by getting a culture from the Bac-
teriological Department of Ontario
Agricultural College, and follow the
instructions very closely. This being
(lane you should get a good set of the
bacterial life which naturally inhabits
the soybean. Have in mind one other
point, and that is that baceria require
a sweet condition of the soil in which
to thrive. This being the case, it is
necessary to apply lime to the soil be-
fore sowing soybeaus. Put on about
1,000 to 2,000 ibs. of ground limestone
after the ground has been plowed and
work It in by disking and harrowing,
W. L.: -We have a field of seven
acres of new ground that we would
like to plant to potatoes in the spring,
but the soil is literally alive with
wire -worms, we had a small corner of
this field in potatoes this season but
the wire worms worked havoc with
them, spoiling many of them entirely.
Wilt say that we have this field falI-
plowed. Ibuve heard that fall plow-
ing would kill them out, but as this
is our first experience with the pest
are at a loss to know whether to risk
it to potatoes or to use the field for
corn. From which will we get the
best returns on potatoes for the
amount invested, commercial fertil-
izer or dried pulverized manure front
the stock yards?
Aesw er:-You have done well to
frill plow your land in attempt to
control the wire worm, This insect
is exrcedingiy persistent. Frequent
change of crops and working of the
soil breaks up his abode, killing
both the larva as they are changing
to the fly stage. The frost will of
course help kill out some of the in•-
e,ects in the process of change.
I would not advise that you follow
last year's crop with potatoes or
corn, .ince the wire worm works
havoc on both these crops. If you
could sow a small grain such as
wheat, barley, or oats and seed it to
clover, applying fertilizer at the rate
of 300 to 500 lbs, to the acre, you
would follow a practice which would
„ler you a fair return from the crop
and at the same time make things
just as disagreeable as possible for
the wire worm. The fertilizer should
be fairly high glade, running about
a 3-8-3. Working the fertilizer thor-
oughly into the soil, either by apply-
ing it with a grain drill with fertil-
izer attachment or spreading it broad-
cast on the land and work it in by
careful disking and harrowing.

The bey or young man who calls

Merrie Maid: Please describe a

To announce an engagement, have
a "heart search." Make large pink

ten familiar quotations. Cut these in
half, diagonally, and hide them in
nooks and corners around the room.
The hearts are to be matched and
nothing unusual will be suspected

cannot answer your question, much as
I would lake to. Remember such facts
are absolutely sacred to me. I like
to feel that the people who ask me
questions are real people, not just
initials or fancy names.
Evangeline: You ask me if it is
proper for a girl to write to a boy
whom she has known for a long time,
even if he has not written her. I think
the boy should take the initiative, but
if you are really anxious to begin
a correspondence, I suppose there is
no halm in sending flim a picture post
card er something like that and then
if he responds, you will know that he
was just waiting an excuse. This is
assuming that he lives away from you
and that there is a real justification
in such a correspondence.
INTERNATIONAL LESSON
MARCH 28.
The Life Work of Peter and John -
Review Revelation 21: 21-22: 5-
Galiden Text -Matthew 28:
19, 20.
Peter and John were widely differ-
ent in disposition, but were, neverthe-
less, warm friends. From the begin-
ning Jesus united among His followers
men of various types, and great
variety must have been found in the
early Church. The love of Christ
and the faith of Christ 'brought men
together in a great brotherhood.
Findlay says, speaking of Peter and
John, "The union of these two leaders,
who belonged to the opposite poles in
gifts and temperament, is significant
for the unity of the apostolic company
and of the Mother Church. St. Peter
was the prompt, incisive speaker, and
bold leader; St. John the slow, deep
thinker; the one as considerate as the
other was impetuous, as measured in
the movements of his mind as his
companion was eager and demonstrat-
ive. Both were men of large and
warm heart -equal in their reverent
love to their Lord and in appreration,
for each other. The co -opera -1'3n Of
St. John with St. Peter surely :lid much
to give thoroughness. staianess.- and
stability to the primitive rcangelism."
He goes an to characterize Peter as
the pr'nlhet and evangelist, John as
the nn •ter and teacher.
Int('- ';;ting lines of study are sug-
ge led by the above paragraph. There
i;. lirsi, mho study of character. This
will lead us to a fresh reading of all
the passages in the Gospels and Acts
in which special mention is made of
the two men, and to a fresh examina-
tion of the writings of Peter and John
with the purpose of trying to discover
the kind of personality which lies
back of each group of books- Inter-
esting critical questions may also be
raised, for the answer to which such
good commentaries as those of the
Cambridge Bible and Century Bible
will be helpful. For example which of
the Gospels represents moat closely
the 'teaching of Peter? How shall
we account for the wide difference
between the style sad narrative of the
Gospel of John and the other three
Gospels? Is it possible that the
writer of the Gospel and Epistle od
John can also have been the author
of a book in many respects so different
as the Book of Revelation? And can

Peter have been the author of both
epistles which bear his name? These
questions are very old and have often
been discussed. The attempt to an-
swer them will be found to stimulate
interest, to lead to closer and more
careful study, and to a fuller appreci-
ation of the great value of those
books.
A second, and equally important,
line of inquiry will be as to the re-
spective place and work of each of
the two great apostles in the founding
of Christianity in Asia and Europe.
Here we shall be interested not only
in all that is told us in the New
Testament about them, but in the
references to them, and stories told
about then!, in the Christian writings
of the second, third and fourth centur-
ies. Such an inquiry will emphasize
the imperative need of every Sunday
school -a good permanent and grow-
ing teachers' library. Nothing will do
more to inspire good work in the Sun-
day school, and especially in the Bible
classes.
These lines of study and research
will have important practical results.
We shall learn more perfectly the
meaning of Paul when he spoke of the
Christian community of diverse races
as being united in Christ, and "built
upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets.." We shall see how
closely our own faith is joined to
Unit of the apostles, how much we
rely upon their testimony, how we are
encouraged and guided by their
insight and their faith. And we shall
see also how Christ has use for men
and women of every different talent
and temperament, for those who have
strong initiative and the talent of
leadership, like Peter, for those of
the more thoughtful and contemplat-
ive mind, like John, and for the pro-
found scholar and zealous missionary,
like Paul,
By these and many others whose.
heart Christ has touched is the house
of humanity being built, in which the
Spirit of God shall dwell. It is these
who enter into and become citizens of
tate city of God, whose establishment
upon earth is so graphically pictured
in Revelation 21 and 22. They are
the men of clean hands and of a pure
heart, in whom shines the light of
God, They are "Ills servants who
shall do him sorvle'o," in whose fore
heads, for all the world to see, Itis
name is written. It is they, and such
as they, through all the centuries
since, who have been preparing the
nations for entrance -with them into
the eity of God, the Agilely ordered
society of the coming tune, in which
there shall nevelt more be injustice,
or cruelty, or falsehood, or anything
unclean, or "he 'that nteketh an abom-
ination and a lie,"

One of the most important factors
in the successful management of sheep
is a clean skin and fleece, kept in
a healthy condition and free from
parasites. Dipping is held as the
proper method of keeping the flock
111 the desired -condition.
The external parasites that often
cause serious lessee are the tick, the
louse, and the scab mite. The floc!:
should be dipped immediately upon
disoovery of infestation with scab and
the dipping repeated in ten days, Ev-
ery flock should be dipped twice each
year to keep the skin and fleece in a
healthy condition ns well as to destroy
i:icks and lice. Any one'" the stan-
dard dips on the market will prnv:)

coal tar dips especially satisf'at•toly.

The soil for rhubarb must be very
rich for best results, and it is hardly
possible to get it too rich. Feeding
is in order .every year. While the
roots will come quickly into producing
from seeds sown in May, sometimes
being strong enough to permit cut-
ting a stock or two from each plant
the first summer, better crops can he
had from setting roots. As only- a
few* roots are needed for the family
supply most people will not care to
plant the seeds, though they come up
quickly and are easy to grow right
from the start.
I have known them to be forced
some in spring by setting a sugar
barrel with both ends out over each
hill and then packing in between the
barrels with manure from the stable,
This manure will beat some and will
raise the tempea'ature of the soil'
under it, and the sun (Alining down
into the barrels will help to start the
roots into growth. As they will send
up the leaves to the top of the barrels
to get the dight, it gives long stems
of excellent flavor. This is a good
way to hurry a crop but ,it is tough
on the plants and will leave them in
had condition to stand the summer
and gather strength for next year.
If we wish to set square of a dozen
plants With this method of forcing
in hind, it will give good results and
we can destroy the bed when we have
cut it fully for the season, The sugar
barrels will keep an rnaloing the steins
long and tender throughout the grow-
ing 00asoa.
Where we want to use the plants in
a warm room or cellar we must lot
them freeze once or twice goal and
hard before digging thee!. Two or
three-year-old plants aro best. Set no
close as possible and pack sail around,
the roots and then water. It is net
necessary to give any light, but a very
moderate light will not hurt. The less
light the less foliage, and the longer
and more tender will be the stocks,

I have seen a whole patch killed out
by dry weather, but when it is eulti
vated or intrl'eted there is not so much
danger of this, though the foliage
will be kilted back pretty badly even
ii i b if the st0nrler and fall is miry
and hot,
If 'the dispute is about a trifle, it
is the duty of the greater soul to give
way to the less.
