Thus in Exodus 19:20 this event is said to have occurred at "mount Sinai": while in the parallel account in Deu- teronomy 5, it is 'Horeb to which the writer refers. Probably the most logical ex'planatio'n of this double name is to be found in the view• that "Horeb applied to the range of 3/fountains and 'Sinai to a particular peak." Tradition has identified Sinai with a mountain in the southern part of the Sinitic Peninsula, now known as tGe'bel Musa :(mount of bioses.. On the slopes of the mountain stands the monastery of :St. Catherine, where! the famous 'Cinaitic Manuscript, re- cently acquired from the Soviet Gov- ernment for the British Museum, was t found by Tischendorf in the year: 1859. FIND MANY TREES SEVERELY INJURED Growers ,'Warned Not to Prune Heavily—=Bridge 'Grafting May'Aid. • While it is of course too early to tell whether fruit 't'r'ees have suffered root injury as a a'esirit of the excep- tionally low temperatures of the past winter,- there is no doubt that consid- erable injury has been done to main , branches and trunks of the more tender varieties of apples. According to a special committee which has been investigating the extent of dam- age throughough the province, the varieties w'hic'h have suffered most are 'Baldwin, Wagner, 'Russett and to - a lesser extent, 'Greenings. Trees of other varieties that bore a very heavy crop of fruit last season, or w.hielt were weakened for any reason, have.. also suffered, IOuts•ide of southern districts, pears, cherries and grapes have isffered ex- tensive fruit bud killing. Considerable damage has been done to the trunks and branches of pears, ijapanese plums and sweet cherries, tin view of the fact that the injured trees will be much weakened, with re- covery dependent on a healthy leaf and root surface, the committee rec- ommend to growers that badly in- jured trees should be left unpruned until the extent of the injury is clear, •Only very light pruning should be done on those trees showing mode- rate injury. injured trees bearing fruit should be very 'heavily ehinike .i or, where feasible, all fruit should be. removed, Where the tree is worth saving any considerable killed areas on the trunk and main branches should be bridge grafted. In this way it may be possible t0 save many in- jured branches- and trees that would otherwise die in the next few years. Send ns the names of your visitors.
