LETTER -PROM A 3., CARR Los•Angeles, march 37 104 To the Editor of the Myth Standard: In my last letter to you we were leoking forWard to the coming yearly event: viz The Tournament of Roses, which is field in Pasedena every New Yea' e day, There was over ao0,0oo people there, and such a ;wonderful proceesion, almostevery department of city business was represented. In all sorts of autos, motor trucks, car- riages, etc, All decorated with -flow- ers, 1.11051: of them roses, all banked in and aroun(t the floats, so that one could scarcely see what was inside. A. wonderful sight for Jan, ist. While in Pasedena we called on Dr. Agnew a veterinary, a native of East Wawan- osh, his father, Tom Agnew, formerly run a saw -mill in, Wawanosh, later ran a savv-mill in Wingharn, Dr. Agnew has a Ithspita.1- foe. dogs and cats, and has a large practise. The hospital bolds over fifty dogs and. was nearly full when. we were -there. Short- ly after we came home we went to San Diego, the most southerly city on the Pacific coast. While there we vis - he'd the McCommins family, also jas.0 'Hand COMMinS, we also visited a Mr. Cloakey, who married Miss Annie Mc - who married a daughter ' of Jabez Walker, well known to many in Blyth We found them all well and. glad to hear from the Myth folk. San Diego] is a beautiful city of 120,000 a very romantic place and has meny var- ied • places of interest. The chief I place among them being Balboa,Park,1 where the world's Fair was held for two years ,1915-1916: Many of the buildings are still standing and occu- pied, one of the.chief ones being the Canadian buildings, now used for al museum and presented to the city and Maintained by a Miss Scripps, and. is reported to be one of the best on the continent. In the park are all kinds of animals from the monkey to the elephant, Camel and everything imaginable. There is an organ said to be the largest in the world which fills one end.of a building built on purpose for it. They give an hour's recital every afternoon. The people sit out . in the open air ilt front, as the whole ' front of the building, organ, pipes, etc are all exposed. Imagine thousands of people sitting out in the open.in the winter season and having to use para- sols to keep from getting tanned, but such is life in California. The sun': has shone bright every day since we has shone brightly every day since we carne here and the days are as' warm as ours are in June and July in Blyth. There are thousands of tourists for the winter. We attended a Can- adian picnic a short time ago at whidh there *ere 50,000 people - present. ,.. • I,i t•it ,..,., • „ WINGX•141Y1 ADVANCE...DIA/US , Every province bad s Own reR*er and 1 noticed there were, many 'from the Western provinees who eamelere te escape the cold vsintere at home, By the ,way, aceprcling t�newspapet reports, .the EaStere: States and tCan- ada halm had very stormy iold wedth,:- er am glad to kneW' we have eseeped such weather.

Ridingalong the road one sees every mile or so a fruit stand, out in the open selling oranges, bananas, etc., and tourists can stop and brier any where along the road. There is gteat wealth in this state, millionaires galore with so much money they hardly know, haw ao spend. it. There are scores of riding academies where yoting men and girls- practise horseback Onc iS often puzzled to know which is male or: female. The girls have their hair bobbed, wear pants high sporting boots with spurs, and riding chats the same as the men, and even smoke cig- arette's so one would need a powerful penetrating microscope or X-ray. to discover which was a boy. • or kill. There has been a Horse Show here all last week: There were over 250 entries all of them light horses many of them valued at from $5,000 to $15,000 each. They held the show in a large colos- eum, The admission to . the Grand Stand *as $1.�o a seat, but the boxes and there was over200, Sold for Sioo , and they -were all taken up, and 'more 'epeeded to satisfy the w crowd. It as held on the grounds of the Ambassad- or Hotel, the Hotel alone cost $6,5oo- 000 and cost over half as much more to furnish it. One ,remarkable thing about the show was the number of women who own horses, one woman had sixteen horses and others had from .five to ten, all high class. So you see the women are coming to the front and emulating 'the men in every department of life. In closing I wonld say we went over to Long Beach to see the Taylors and Stewarts. Ben Taylor was out in the country, so did not see him, but called on T. Stewart, who has rented a fine shop hi a fine location and has' every prospect of making.' good.

Instead of sending a star reporter to inter- view the man who has juselcilled an- other man- or woman, why not inter- view those who have been made to suffer by death of a tov.ed one?

The food require- ments of grains and fruits have be6n shown te be materially different. These experynents show:— Potash (Potassium) . Average fruit soils contain sufficient for fruit crops, Applications therefore are not warranted. Phosphoric Acid (Phosphorons).— .Average fruit soils contain sufficient. for the direct needs of fruit crops. However, this may not be sufficient for the needs of green manuring crops. If such are grown phosphoric acid may give a decided increase ia growth and thus influence the growth and fruitfulness of the fruit tree. Linie.—Fritit crops, with few ex- ceptions are acid tolerant, i.e., they will grow equally as well and some- times better in an acid as in a neu- tral or basic soil, unless the acidity Is extreme. Therefore the applica- tion of lime merely to correct soil acidity is not warranted. On the other hand many green manuring crops require a "sweet" or limed soil. Lime applications on clover, 'etc.'are, often warranted. in the increasecl growth secured, which in turn favor- ably influences tree growth. Nitrogen.—A. sufficient nitrogen supply is often lacking in our fruit soils. Its application i usually war- ranted, whether in the form of legu- minous green manuring crops, barn- yard or commercial 'fertilizers. There is a: place for all tirea and all three may be used to adVantitge. Humuse—Humus (decayed lege- table mafter) is the basis of soil fer- tillik.

Our fertilizer recommendatioa for fruits is—no potash; phosphoric acid and lime only where green manuring is practiced, and if sueh. crops show benefit from applications; nitrogen and humus in the form of barnyard. manure and legume crops; nitrogen also in a quickly available form as In nitrate of soda or sulphate of am- monia in early spring before growth starts.—E.

Where thinning was done during 1923, there was a good crop, but on trees which made a heavy set of fruit in 1822 and where no thinning was done there was very .little fruit to be found. Thinning- plums 'perhaps did not pay in 1922, even though all thinned fruit graded as select, and unthinned fruit graded only as medium or less. Market Conditions were too poor, and there were too many poor grade plums. However, there was the ef- feet, on the vigor of the trees and on, the following year's crop which was much larger than it would have -been as previously noted. Thinning should be done Shortly after the June crop. In the case of peaches, the work should be done when the fruit is quite small, before the pits harden.. Thin sufficiently to prevent individlial fruits from touching when fully ma- tured. Generally four to five inches apart is abont right for peaches.— E. P. Palmer, Hort. Exp.

Golden Text—Prov. 16.•18, Some years before 'his death Solo - moil chose jeroboam, an industrious, mighty man of valour to be superin- tendent over all the forced labor ex- acted from the tribe of Joseph during the time the fortifications of jeru- salern were being built. • One day he was met by Elijah the prophet who • caught the new garment he was Wear- ing and -tore it into twelve pieces.; for thus saith the Lord,' the God of Is- rael, Behold I will rend the kingdoni out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to thee" '(e Kings LI :3) This incident came to the ears' of Solonion and he sought to ill, Jero- boam, but Jeroboam fled, into Egypt and waited there until the death of Solomon. • When Solomon died his son Reho- boam succeeded him. So far as his- tory records he was his only son. Raised in lexury and in the company of learned men he had not at forty years of age learned •wisdone. He, the son of the wisest men, showed bis utter lack of it at the first inter- -view he had officially- with the men of bus kingdom. The Country was a rich and prosperous one but in order to maintain, his court. Solomon had imposed taxes and in order to build his palace and the temple men were forced into work. This they consid- ered was too heavy a burden upon them and the accession of a new king seemed to them to be a fitting time to lay their complaints before him and ask for a reduction, They sent for Jeroboam to be their -spokesman. "And they came, and spake unto Rehoboam saying, "Thy father made out yoke grievous." In r Kings 4:13 we read that King Sol- omon raised a levy out of all Israel. This was apparently the first tirne Is- ,raelites were called upon to perform forced labor but it was the fulfilment of a prophecy for when they asked fora king they were told, "He would take their men servants, and Their miiiclservants, and their goodliest young men and put them to his work." 'Make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he puteupon, us lighter, and we will serve thee." Rehoboam, re- membering the words of his father sent them away for three days until he should consult his counsellors. "Where no counsel is, the people fall; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety" (Prov. eme.). Had he stopped when he consulted the old men the story would in all probability have had a different ending. They out of the fulness of the experience advised conciliation; "that 'a soft an- swer turneth away wrath." ; They tried to convince him that ehe way to rule was to serve, t� become all things to all men and so bind the people to him forevec. But Rehoboam turned to the young men who had grown up with him :and they said, "Say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my efather's loins, • and now whereas my father did eade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my -father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions." Verses r2-15—Rehoboam's Answer Ev-idently- his interview with the young men had effaced any impres- sion made on his mind by the aged counsellors. The words of his forra- er associates gratified his pride so that when Jeroboam and the repre- sentatives of the people appeared at the appoiated time his manner was haughty rather than kingly. They had not up to this time been in a re- volutionary mood but his answer had a most unexpected effect. 'Verses I6-2o—The Revolt "When all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people aneevered the king, saying, What por- tion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents 0 Israeli now see to thine own house David. So Israel departed unto their teuts." In these words was the king warried that henceforth, there would be ewo kingdoms that the thing the prophet had told to Jeroboam was at hand, Rehoboam saw when it was too late how fatal to his best interests had been the advice of the young men, How could he have been so blind as to follow such insane advice? In verse 15 we read: "The cause was from the Lord," but evea then he made an attempt to rectify matters and send Adoram to offer better terms and make peace but the die had been cast. All Israel stoned Adoram with stones ana then Reim- boain fled to Jerusalem. What a Ineme-goingl Instead of the pledged loyalty of a whole natioft he was king over but two tribes and Jeroboam, his father's servant, was elected' king over the other tete 'We thus see' how great power can become great tryan- ny.

"If you ask whether There is not some better way than that taken by the Lord in the case of Rehoboana, answer, The Lord reigneth, and our wisdom, apparently so excellent, is foolishness before him", WORLD MISSIONS Korea was opened as a mission field less than forty years ago. The pioneers ia this undertaking avoided the rocks, some of which threatdned to wreck, or seriously cripple, mis- sionary effort in other lands and took advantage of the experiences which bad proved fruitful. One of the earliest decisions of these pioneers' was to encourage self-support in the native churches. This subject has received as much thought and atten- tion by the missionaries ill" Korea as any one phase of the word. It is not easy to inculcate a desire to be a self-supporting Church in such a poverty-stricken constituency and with the record of missionary effort in other fields before them. Thje is especially true of the Koreans who, as a race, leave never (until recently) been noted for their patriotism, pride or spirit of independence. Some of the missions have made it a rule to churcli buildings except in iilaces supply no hinds for the erection of where, in order to accomodate the large numbers of men and women from the country who come to these centres to attend the Bible Classes and. Institutes, it is necessary to pro- vide larger buildings than the local congregation would require. Thus the great need for the carry- ing on of the work so wonderfully blessed of God, is not for more funds with which to carry on the cause ,of the Church, but' for the support of more missionaries whose' main re- sponsibility shall be to direct the edu- cation of the youth and the training of leaders, who can 'lead their own people into the Light.
