SHADE FOR POULTRY WHEN
WEATHER IS HOT
According to the Dominion Experi-
mental Farms Service, the problem
of lack of Shade for poultry during
the hot weather period is met by
planting corn or sunflower early in
the season. A few rows planted near
the colony house. Answers the purpose
well, If the chicks are running out,
the young plants should be protected
for a few, weeks by a temporary.
fence. By the time the hot weather
comes along the corn or sunflowers
will be high enough and strong
enough not to be, bothered by the
chickens.
A . more permanent form: of shade
may be provided by making a strue.
ture which is mostly roof and open,
on all four sides., Some poultrymen.
even make the roof of old bags which
gives protection on dry, hot days.
Modern, poultry practice demands
that chicks' be raised on clean, fresh
land each season to escape disease,
and 'worm infestations and as a re.
suit it is not possible to have the
colony' houses permanently located
near shade trees. Most farmers know
this and haul the colony houses to
fresh land in one. of their fields and
so there is the need for the tempor-
ary shade so easily provided by eith-
er corn or sunflowers planted early
enough to give shade when it will
be needed in a month of two.
APPLE BUSINESS IN HURON

Apples are apples, whether adher-
ing to branches or when packed in
barrels, says J. MacTavish, writing
in the London Free Press; whether
rosy-eheeked Northern Spies or pale -
faced, shrivelled -up, no -account seed-
lings. '
And trees t bear them, at least
in Huron and Perth, certainly 'd'o
not produce reasonable quantity
anything approaching what was ob-
tained back i '80's.
The reason at least, appears
to be quite . Take a drive
occasionally the- summer
months, say Seaforth to Gode-
rich, 'and alongBluewater High-
way, or from orth to Mitchell,

INTERNATIONAL S. S. LESSON
JUNE 11th
by
Rev. A. C. Jamieson, B.A., Agincourt, Ontario
LESSON TEXT -1 Cor. 1:1-3, 10, 11;4:14-21; 1 Thess. 5:12-15
1
"Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs up' by their gifts. 'Their self-as-
aul ours,......". These words aro
Paul's attempt to draw the Corinth-
ians back from the brink at which
they would cease to be a Church,
The religious enthusiasts at Corinth,
with all their vitality, have ceased
to strive for the true confession of
their Faith. They have, instead, be-
gun to devote themselves to this or
that person the expression of whose
religious experience seems to give
vent to their own. Divisions ' have
been the result. One says, 'I an,. for
Paul'; another, 'I for Apollos'.
Paul was not ,obsessed with the
idea of unity. Throughout the gentile
world he had, himself, been respon-
sible for disrupting, by the Gospel,
many religious communities meeting
in the Jewish synagogues. It is not
the organic unity of the community
but Christ's body that concerns Paul.
In their extravagance men may come
to praise their chosen leader as
though he and not Christ had,, been
crucified for 'thein; dr as though they
had been baptised in his name and
not in Christ's name.
Paul would draw the Corinthian
Church from the danger of a 'split-
up' by reminding them of their calI-
ing. Like every Pauline Epistle, this
surance,' he says, 'is based on the
supposition that he himself will not
come to Corinth.' Ile now enters the
list armed only with Gospel. Ire
will allow his Gospel to stand against
theirs, but not as by the comparison
of one speech over against another,
but the power.
Paul's challenge can only be likened
to that of Elijah. Elijah called upon
Israel to gather the prophets of Baal
to Mount •C'armel there to erect a
sacrifice to their gods, and he Would
make one for the Lord. Then let
the prophets of Baal call upon, him
and He would call on the Name or
the Lord, 'and the God that answer-
eth by fire, let him, be God'. (Kings
18). The religious vitality which
forsakes obedience to God for the
sake of wanton self-expression is not
fundamentally • unlike . Baal ' worship.
1 Thess. 5:12-15. TA this passage
Paul is urging the Church in Salonika
to purify herself in the •sante fashion
that he has striven for the purity of
the Church at Corinth.
ACCIDENTS and COMPENSATION
During the `month of May there
were 4,625 accidents reported to the
letter begins, 'Paul, called to be an Workmen's Compensation Board, as
Apostle of Jesus Christ through the compared with 3,443 during April,
will of God'. This is not 'mere habit.
The recollection of his calling renews
his strength. In dealing with 'Church
Problems' he has learned that he
must face each one by starting
afresh from his apostleship, which is
not of men neither by men, if he Is
to speak with authority and power
to the Churches. He stirs the Cor-
inthian Church to a remembrance of
their call to be saints for the same
reason. An Church that permits her-
self to be reminded of her calling
is not lost. She is brought back
thereby to her Eternal New Begin-
ning. Shemust become as though
she had no history; like little children
(1 Cor. 3:1).
Paul does not fail to pray that
they may have the: gifts which are
promised to such as do not wander
far from their true beginning. Grace
and peace are the gifts from God
and our Lord Jesus Christ. He thanks
God who has already enriched them,
through grace in Christ Jesus, with
eloquence, insight, etc. BUT their
wealth has been -their temptation and
the source of their divisions and
seems likely to rob thein of their
peace.
An individual needs the peace or
God to keep his heart and mind les:
a quickening of all the faculties by
the greatness and unthinkabieness ofj
the gift of Grace should lead to dis-n
organization and even intemperanec,i
like warfare, within him. The hotly i
is a parable of the Church. The
Church at Corinth is on the verge
of losing her peace.

Of course, there are some outstand-
ing exceptions whore orchards are
maintained and apples sold on a pro-
fitable basis, but they only loom up
at rare intervals: and make the truth
of the statement more apparent,
It is seldom that we see or learn
about an orchard that has been pro-
perly pruned or cared for, while plow-
ing or fertilizing the ground seem-
ingly is an uinthought of thing.
In seeking information anent ap-
ples, we have gleaned: from what
should be reliable sources, certain de-
tails that carry interest.
In the apple kingdom ,theer aro
more than 2,000 varieties, and from
this vast number it believed that
in Ontario there are grown as thin
skinned and as fine -flavored fruit as
is ' found anywhere, when trees re-
ceive the attention they require,
Back in the '80's, trees bore high-
grade apples in abundance, even if
orchards were neglected and when
spraying carne in few gave it consid-
eration. It was not necessary to use
some insect destroying solution then,.
because the present-day apple mag
got was hot playing havoc with :the
crop.
In Huron County there were buyers
in every town.To name some, . there
were John Skinner, Mitchell; Cardin,
& San, Seaforth; David Cantelan;
Clinton; R. Elliott, Goderich. There
were others perhaps just as deeply
concerned: These men, we have been
informed bought and sold more than
200,000 barrels of apples in one sea-
son, whereas now, as nearly as fig-
ures available show, the annual ship-
ment from Huron is from 1,000 to
2,000 barrels.
Cardna one fall shipped 16,000 bar-
rels from. Seaferth alone„ During
another autumn they handled more
than 35,000 barrels procured along
the lake shore road, or along what is
now named the Blue Water Highway,
or in that locality. Information is
likewise to the . effeet that Cantelon
shipped more than 100,000 barrels
during autumn • months.
Each barrel was made to hold ap-
proximately 11 pecks of apples, and
the price paid was usually about $1
a barrel.
The season for shipping started in
September and finished in. November.
It' Was divided into three :sections,
namely, early fall, late fall incl win-
ter apples.,
During plaiting time boys from the
villages and elsewhere were often
hired to assist in the work and were
venally paid 25 cents a clay and part
"found," which meant dinner and
supper. And at tunes these boys,
handed apples when the wind was
raw and snow was on the ground.

The benefits awarded amounted to
$518,878.39, of which. $429,703.67 was
for compensation and $89,174.72 for
medical aid.
DON'T LET TRIS BE YOU
There was a man in our town
And he had wondrous health,
But recklessly he squandered it
Accumulating wealth.
And when he saw his health was gone
With all his might and main
He squandered all the wealth he'd won
To get his .health again.
And when with neither health nor
wealth
He in his coffin lay

Excepting "Let us pray.".

vv 10, 11. Whoever will be per-
suaded in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, Paul entreats to speak the
same things and to act in harmony
becoming those who are joined by
the same mind and in the sane judge-
ment. A generation which is saturat-
ed with the conception of 'Unity in.
diversity' will be affronted, however,
by the restriction of striving after a
common Confession of Faith. Such
a thing is equally offensive to those
who interpret their 'Unity in diver-
sity' to favour organic union among
the Churches as to those who do not.
The Corinthian Church, suffering
from the pain of overfulness, ,must
nevertheless, for the sake of an ere
equivocal witness to God in Christ
Jesus, submit to the discipline of
saying 'the same things'. vv 14-11',
A common Confusion of Faith will
be the hoped-for fruit of. a return,,
with Paul, to the basis of their'mut-
ual calling.. What is Paul, and what,
is Apollos, in such a body? 'Be ye
followers of me' says. Paul. Is it the
secret of Paul's criticism of the Cor-
inthian state that he wishes only the
impress of his own characteristic:ex-
perienee to be upon thein? He pre-
sents himself. He even sends Tima.
otheus as one steeped in his way,
from whom they may .learn afresh.. of
what he has been in all the churches.
He claims to be the Father of the,
Faith. He begat them through; the
Gospel. Apollos, Cephas etc. are only
instructors. Let us read' Paul's own
portrayal of his person which he de-
sires them to receive. 'It seemsto
me', he says, 'that God has exhibited
us Apostles last of all, like men con;
demised to death; for we have become
a spectacle to all creation—alike to
angels and to men. We rank as fools
for Christ's sake: you are shrewd
men in .Christ. . We are: weaklings:
you, are strong. You are in high re-
pute: we are outcasts. • To this very
moment we endure both Manger and
thirst; we are barely clad and rough-
ly handled. When reviled, we blesse:
when persecuted, we • bear: it patient-
ly; when slandered, we : try, to cora
ciliate. We are regarded as Ithe
seam of the earth—the ;dregs of the
world, even to this hour.' (1 Cor. 4:

duced the Apostle to such a figure.

A harvest of 324 million bushels of wheat, to say nothingof the.
increased volume of coarse grains, and all of it brought in and
threshed in 1938 without the assistance of the erstwhile array of
tens of thousands of harvest help from the East in the years not so.
long gone by.
Thus does the mode of our lives and the methods of our callings.
change, keeping pace with she progress being made in the scientific
engineering andindustrial realms.
The evolution of the Combine to the small, compact model now
made available has revolutionized harvesting, making it an easily
undertaken task for the regular help of the farm. Its production at a
cost to the farmer of but one-third the price of the earlier, bigger
models, is .an evidence of the contribution made by the implement
maker to help the farmer meet the problems with which he is con-
fronted. The lower operating costs of this machine, and the reduction
it enables to be made in thecost of harvesting, saving as it does up
to 15c a bushel for complete harvesting, has meant, in a great many
instances, a profit instead of a loss to the farmer.
Power of course is the basis of the great mechanistic progress of
agriculture and the record of attainment in making more efficient,.
less cosily, and lower operating cost models available is an achieve-
ment that cannot be beaten by any other industry. To -day's modern
streamlined, high efficiency tractors make earlier models look like
,.pre -historic monstrosities and sell for about one-half' the price,,.
costing less than half to operate.
Massey-l-Iarris is pleased to have taken a leading part in develop-
ing machines which are destined to play so important a part in making
agriculture profitable.
The advent of the combine and now the greater popularity of the
small combine itas meant a striking decrease in the output of binders
which records show reached the height of their volume in the
Years lust previous to the war, both in Canada and the United States;
production in the laver country dropping from 215,386 in 1914
to 31,259 in 1937, thus losing the benefits of mass production gained
in the years when the volumekept mounting.
Apart from the tremendously improved productoffered inthe
binder of today, which accounts in no small way for its relatively.
increased price over prewar years, the fact of the greatlydecreased:
volume now manufactured makes the binder cease to be the criterion
of values offered: bythe implement industry.
