This lend was badly infested with golden rod (solidage rm.), yarrow, ox -eye daisy, yellow daisy or black- eyed Susan, couch grass, etc., and lied been in common for many years, A three year rotation was outlined followe: Fleet Year: Hoed crop. This ceop received 15 tone of manure per aere. Probably the most satisfactory meth - down. - od to apply this is on the clover stub- ble the previous autumn, end plough Seeond yenr: Grain crop, seeded down with 10 pounds red clover, 2 ponads alsike and 0 pounds timothy per acre. Third year: Clover hay. Immed- iately after the removal of the hay crop, the land was menured and plomehed in preparation for the next semen's hoed crop. After ploughing the land was rolled and then top - worked during the balance of the feetisen to prevent any growth of a weeds. It is strongly revommended that the land be ridged up in the I autumn. Thie rotation was earrical on 151 the Steition until the semort ef 191.ffi when it was disvontlemed.

ROGUEING SEED POTATO' FIELDS Rogueing, or thci rooting -out of undesirable plants from the seed pot- ato- field, is one of the chief means used to keep up the seed stock to the certification standard. In support of this practice is the interesting story of the Garnet Chili potato, a variety grown in Nova Sco- tia for seed foe Bermuda. This variety is more or less sus - 1 1 ceptible to Leaf Roll, one of the con- stitutional diseases of the potato, and, prior to 1922, when the disease developed on any farm to the extent of 3 per cent, a change of seed was recommeaed. But in the fall of 1921 the satiation had become ser- ious owing to the contamination of even the most reliable strains. In the spring of 1922 the Plant Disease Inspection Service of the Dominion Experimental Farms Branch started a vigorous campaign of rogueing, and to such good purpose did the growers apply the instruction that Bermuda reported a great improvement in the seed the following spring. Since then the good work has been kept -up with the result that in the spring of 1926 Bermuda reported "no complaints" and "the best seed ever imported." There is a limit, however, to the success of rogueing, more especially in connection with Mosaic, the other serious constitutional disease of the potato. Seed :stock showing 3 or 4 per cent disease before rogueing has frequently developed double the am- ount of disease the following season. The measure of the success of rog- ueing is the number of satisfied cus- tomers, and experience has shown that it is not wise to rogue, with a view to certification, seed that con- tains over 2 per cent. of the consti- tutional disease. Rogueing should be early and thorough and all parts of the diseased plant should be re- moved in such a manner as to pre- vent insects. from being dislodged on to healthy plants to which they may carey the disease.

Phone 171 Stvatfrd Arervens mremmogin...mrstesamosass.....0 <had' aer n ay Schooi Lesson BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL (Editor of The Sunday School Times) ISAAC AND HIS WELLS Sunday, May 23—Genesis 20:12-25. Golden Teat: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger (Prov. 15:1). * Isaac was a very rich man. He had great earthly possessions, and these were the direct results of God's favor, as this lesson show. Does God promise earthly prosperity and riches to all His children? Far from it, and yet people sometimes talk as though the Christian were sure to ha prosperous if only he does God's will fully. The trouble comes with confusing dispensations, or ages, which are clearly defined in the Bible. When we "rightly divide the Word of truth" we notice that God made many promises to the Jews, or Israel, as to their: life on this earth, which He does not make to Christians. Over and over again, during the Old Tes- tament, God promises to Israel that ef they will do His will and remain in the land that He has made pecul- iarly their own, He will heap earthly and temporal blessings upon them. Whenever Israel thus took God at His word. He kept His word. Even during the centuries of their tragic dispersion, the Jews have had a pec- uliar and almost unique ability to get rich, and they are tha world's 0100e31 holders and money lenders. When they turn to Christ as their Messiah, as they will some day, their national and eekial prosperity will be reetored to them, and go beyond anything they have yet known. But to the Christian in this age of grace we find no such promises groin God, but rather assurance of perse- cution, together with spiritual rather than temporal blessings. A true Christian may indeed be temporarily rich; but God gives no pledge of this. But, whether Jew under the old dispensation, or Christian under the new, God's people are always hated by those about them in the world who will not have God in their lives. The Philieeines, envious of both Abraham and Isaac, had "stopped" the wells that Abraham had digged, "and filled them wth. earth." As Is- aac digged again these or other wells of water, the Philistines kept contest- ing them. Isaac and his herdsman would move on from such a well to another; and as the new one would be contested they would move on to still another. Finally, Isaac digged a well that was let alone. He is ill VariOUS ways a striking Old Testament type of Christ. Like Christ, Isaac was a child of promise. Christ was miraculously born; so was Isaac, though the mirecle was of a different sort. And as God "gave His only begotten Son" flA it San 11;' for the sine of the world, eie _Abra- ham offered his only son, Isaac, as 0 eacrifice in obedience to God's will ...but God did not It Abraham car- ry this saerifici, through. So it is noticeable that -Isaac is peculiarly a Man of peace, even as Christ., ushering in the age of grace and intim-fled/1g in ltis own person God's great gift of emcee exemplified non-resistance throughout his email- ly ministry. When Ile comee again, Christ will come, not as the Lamb of God, but as the Lion of the trib :s of Judah, making war in judgmeat against thoeci who have opposed Him. But until then He stands before, the world in grace, not in jffigment; and thus Isaac stood before his genera-• tion and refused to return evil for evil or to fight for his rights. Isaac is a type of "the servant of the Lord" who "must not strive but be gentle to all num" (2 Tun. 2:21). He showed in hie life that part of the "fruit of the spirit," which is "peace, long-suffering, gentleness.. meekness, self-control" (Gal. 5:22, 23). And what a reward mi had! After he had given up one well after an- other, theaLord appeared unto him and said: "I am the God of Abrah- am, thy father; fear not, for I ani with thee, tied will bless thee," How much more God always gives us than we can ever sacrifice for Iitm! Wells furnish a wonderfully in- tresting study throughout the Bible. Most of us would have a surprise If WO should take a concordance and look up every passage in which the word "well" occurs. We have a well of inexhaustible richness in the Word of God; and eve all ought to be well -diggers there, sinking shafta doeP down, and bringieg up life giv- ing water for alt about us as well as for ourselves. More than 1,800 years after Is- aac's refusal to take offence, the Lord Jesus Christ sat by the well- of Jacob, Isaac's son, and talked with a sinful woman. He said to hee: -"Whosoever drinketh of this wator shall thirst again; but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:13,14). That woman drank of the water of life and became a well of water that meant everlasting life to her entire city, as she told out the good news about Jesus. • With Isaac, and with the woman of Samaeia, we may hear God saying to us. "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of sal- vation." (Isa. 12:3).
