S. S. LESSON FOR JULY 30th, 1933
Lesson , Topic—Gideon.
Lesson Passage—Judges 7:4-7, 16-
21-
. Golden Text—Psalm 27:1.
'Gideon, was one of the 'more illus-
trious judges of Israel and of the
tribe ,of Manaeseh. The occasion of
his public appearance as judge was
the severity of the Midianitish op-
pression which lasted seven years
'Wlhile Gideon was threshing wheat
the angel of the Lord appeared unto
him and said unto him: "The Lord is
with thee, thou 'righty man of val-
or." Then it was he received a di-
-vine call to deliver his brethren from
the band of the oppressor, but be-•
fore he would enter upon the cam-
paign he demanded a sign, and re-
ceived the famous sign of the fleece
(6:336-40). It was God's power, riot
Gideonls, that delivered Israel, •as,
was seen in the reduction of the army
from thirty-two thousand to three;
hundred. It was an act of great faith
which lead Gideon to attack a mighty
host with such a small army but he
was encouraged 'by overhearing in the
lMidiayiite.camlp the story of the drean:
of the• barley cake (7:13, 14). "And
when Gideon was canoe, behold there
was a man that told a dream unto
his fellow, and said: Behold, I dream-
ed a dream, and lo! a cake of barley
bread tundbled into the host of Midian
and came unto a tent, and scoot it
that it fell, and overturned it. that the
tent lay along. And his fellow an-
swered and said: This is nothing else
save the sword of Gideon, the son of
Joash, a man of Israel; for into his
hand God delivered ,Midian and a1I
the. host."
r le laid 'his 'method of attack before
his men and attacked in the middle -
of the' night. He intended that they
who had so long been• a terror to Is-
rael, and had so often) frightened
them, should.. themselves be routed
and ruined purely by terror. The at-
tack he made was in many circu'm-
;stanees like that which' Abraham
made on the army which had taken
Lot captive; the number of men much
the same. Abraham had three hun-
dred•and eighteen; Gideon three hun-
dred; they 'both divided their forces,
both nnade their attack by night and
were 'both victorious under great,dis-
advantages.
Three ways Gideon contrived to
strike a terror upon the Midianite
army and put them into confusion:
(1) With a great noise; every man
must 'blow histru(tnipet in the ns,st
terrible manner he could; and clatter
an earthen pitcher to pieces at the
same time, probably each dashed his
pitcher to fins next mean's, and so
they were 'broken both together mak-
ing a great crash. (2) With a great
blaze; the lighted torches were hid
in the pitchers, like a candle under a
bushel, until they came to the camp
and then being taken out al 'together
of a sudden, would make a glaring
.show. Perhaps 'with these they set
some of the tents ond4- the edge of
the camp on fire, increasing ;the con-
fusion. (3) With a great shout; ev-
ery pian must cry, "The sword of the
Lord and. Gideon." Gideon's soldiers
observed their orders,' and stood ev-
ery man in his place round about the
camip "to see the salvation of the
Lord." "The wicked flees when none
pursues" (Proverbs ?,8;1)—"Terrors
make him afraid on every side and
drive him to•hisefeet" (Job 18:111.
IIn his pursuit of the flying army,
the cities of Succoth and Penuel re-
fused hint provisions, for which, oh
his return, he severely ptlpished them
(3:13-17).
On the subsequent forty years of
Gideon's official activity, little, is re-
corded. He refused the title of king;
but his heroism was long remember-
ed after his death.
WORLD 'MISSIONS
•
We go to plant churches of the
living Gedi in Central Africa; lout we
go sowing the good seed, knowing
only too ►yell that Satan's hand will
soon conte and sow tares among the
wheat. We are Christian mission-
aries, and our work is the spread of
the Gospel to the eery ends of the
earth. Where we do not already fipd
a way by which to enter unknown
lands, we make a way ourselves. In
doing so we • n•iake a way for others
to follow after.
That the tide will turn I believe
and know. The sun will rise to -mor-
row morning. How do we know? By
no great process, of faith; or reason.
It has always done so. History re-
yeats itself, rather the calm and reg-
ularworking of God goes on with, the
same unerring grandeur in both
worlds, the natural and the spiritual.
We shall not hasten the sunrise by
rushing eastward to help it — th e
chances are that we shall stunbble in
the dark. When the light begins to
dawn we can see *here we are go-
ing, and can rightly ,• recognize the
lay ofethe land.

Spraying_ Potatoes
Sepyrayed potatoes yielded one hun-
dred and twenty bushels more per
acre than those not sprayed in ,recent
tests. The yields were one , hundred
and seventy-two and two hundred and
ninety-two bushels per acre on the
two adjoining. fields. It took twelve
sprays to make the difference. In=
creased yield is not the only cnsid-
eration. If blight is present, and the
weather is unfavorable, spraying is
necessary to get any kind of a yield.
Spraying pays in a. good year, and
is absolutely essential in a bad year.'

Renovating Old
Strawberry Beds
The•most satisfactory results with
strawberry plantations are obtained
when only full crop is gathered. If,
for instance, plants are eet out this
Spring, the plantation should be plow-
ed up after the fruiting- season of
next year. By this systermr, much
better fruit is obtained as the plants
are not so thick in the row, and the
soil can be kept freer of weeds.
However, if the land is free of
weeds, ite is quite possible to obtain
good results by keeping a plantation
longer than one year. This usually
entails, a ,certain amount of renova-
tion at the end of the first fruiting
season. The experience at the Cen-
tral Farm, Ottawa, has shown that
weeds give very little trouble --when
the ground has been manured the
year. previous to planting and de•
pendence placed on fertilizers for
subsequent applications of plant food.
Under such conditions it is compara-
tively easy to .renovate the beds.
The method is as follows: As soon
as the picking •is over, the straw is
raked up and carried 'to one side of
the plantation. After this, each rope
is ploughed or cut down to a width
of about 18 inches. The plants thus
ploughed up are then gathered up
and destroyed, and the cultivator run
through the rows. The few weeds
growing among the remaining plants
are pulled by hand. As soon as this
cleaning up has taken place, an ap-
plication .of nitrate of soda is made
to the plantation at the rate of 200
pounds or' more to the acre. Sul-
phate of ammonia -would. be satis-
factory only it -is very difficult to
broadcast it over the plants without
•serious burning. If used it should
only be put (between the- rows. Fre-
quent cultivation throughout, the ,bal-
ance of the year -will usually result
in the plantation going into winter
quarters in very good condition.
When• the old bed is grown up with
grass and weeds, nior•e drastic mea-
sures are necessary. In such -in-
stances," after the removal of the
straw the whole plantation is mowed
and the 'snowing burned as quickly
as possible. After this the row's are
narrosded down to about one foot in
width and the ploughed -out plants
raked up and destroyed. This leaves
a narrow row, of plants and weeds
that can then be hoed to leave clumps
of plants every 8 or 9 inehes. In
narrowing the•rows it is always well
to work from one side of the plan-
tation so that the old row is split
down ,the centre leaving the newer
plants on the outer edge as the re-
maining narrow strip. After this
hoeing, an application of nitrate of
soda or manure ploughed in between
the rows is given, followed •by • fre-
quent cultivation.
- Some growers after narrowing th'e
Tows, do the cross -thinning by a har-
row or drag, and, then finish off with
the hose and cultivator. In some 'parts
of the Maritimes where plantations
many for manyears and where the
rows are a little further apart, the
practice is simply to plough between
the rows so as to leave a wide fur-
row, which is filled with manure.
cross -harrowing then covers this fur-
row with earth. This is followed up
with hoeing, hand weeding and culti-
vating.
Refreshing Thrist/ ' •
Quenchers
There is no surer way of making
oneself popular in the summer than
by inviting one's friends to share a
cooling and "refreshing beverage—
sey'ved on a vine -shaded veranda.
No artificial flatters can possibly
compete with the natural fruit juices
as a cooling tonic and 'deans of re-
freshment. Lemons and oranges are
natural tonics unsurpassed; t h e
flavor of grapes is as old as the hills
and as well known and cherished.
Grape juice contains potash, salts,
tartaric acid and iron, and is 'particu-
larly high in ability to cleanse the
blood and keep the body temperature
low. A little mint, discreetly 'used,
will add an elusive touch to many
cool drinks. Fruit juices of alt kinds,
from cans or bottles or from fresh
fruits themselves, will help keep the
beverage pitcher 'brimful of good
things.
With simple sugar syrup, lemon
syrup, grape juice and other fruit
•juices and ginger ale or other car-
bonated beverage kept on hand in a
corner of the refrigerator, the mixing
of a pitcher of refreshing summer
beverage is the matter ofonly a hno•
ment.
The secret of making appetizing
fruit beverages is to have the mix-
ture wrelleflavored and strong enough
so ,that the melting ice will nbt make
it insipid. A frequent mistake, is to
use'too much sugar, which .detracts
from the zest which ' cold drinks
should possess. The ibeverage.houla
be well shaken or mixed before it is
sewed, and the flavor will be im-
proved if the mixed beverage is al-
lowed te,, stand on ice for an hour
before serving, to give the mixture
a chance to infuse and ripen.
When the day is sultry, the addi-
tion of a large spoonful of any
piquant jelly 'to the glass of iced
fruit drink not only makes the
beverage more attractiv to the eye,
but More delectable in favor,

POVERTY AND HEALTH
How does poverty affect, health? is
a question which is being frequently
asked. At the present time, there is
naturally' a good deal of concern as
to ' the possible ill elects of long -
continued periods of comparative pov-
erty. upon health, and this particular-
ly'with regard to children.
,So far as physical health is con-
cerned, there is a very close relation-
ships between health and food. We
would therefore expect that if the
food intake were deficient, there
would be Impairment of physical
health. The first indication that the
food intake is deficient in duality or
quantity is that the individual loses
some of the 'health and 'vigor which
he enjoys when properly fed. •
• 'It is only when the intake is gross-
ly deficient that the signs of what in
really starvation rather than under-
nutrition becomes obvious. We should
not be misled by the, fact that there
is no evident increase in the signs of
starvation -and conclude that there is
no increa's'e :in poor nutrition. The
latter is difficult toldetern,ine because
we cannot measure the loss Orf health
and vigor which, as we have stated,
is the first sign of poor nutrition.
If there•'
rs ag nod deal of
P nu-
trition
corn -
trition a ong children at present,
we would not expect to see it reflect-
ed in an immediate increase in the
death rate. Poor nutrition does not
kill the child; what it does is to sap
his vitality slowly, with the result
that his growth is poor, the quality
of his bones and muscles is below
normal, and he grows into adult life
comparatively poorly equipped for
the battle of life.
At all times, some children suffer
in this way. At present we are con-
cerned because we fear that large
rim—niers may be suffering. Weshould
not he lulled into a sense of feeling
that all is well because death rtes
are lower, but rather we should eel
conerned'about making sure that he
vitality of our children'is not b ing
endangered, through a lack of the
proper kind's of Rood for normal
growth and development.
Time For Friendship -
When we were youngsters we used
to get together for hours, for• whole
days, of intimate companionship with
our friends; not once in a while; but
almost every day in the year, we
took long' rambles together through
woods and fields. We fished together;
gangs of us went down to the swim
mine hole, or over to the millpond to
skate; we dug secret caves, got to-
gether to -.make things in the cellar,
gathered in the back lot for baseball.
Companionship was close. It was un-
thinkable to get along without see-
ing our friends constantly, and when-
ever there was soniiething new and
exciting afoot, the first impulse was
to get them- in on it too.
Later in college, companionship re-
mained a dominant thing, sometimes
the do•n inant thing, in life. A group
of us would lie stretched out lazily
under the trees, or in somebody's
room, and talk • by the hour, some-
times the night through. Very few
questions were settled finally, but we
gained immensely in apprecia.tiefi of
ons another. Lf this period gave us
nothing else, it did give us rich
friendships.
then we gest out of college, we took
on responsibilities, we,lbeeaine absorb-
ed in routine work, we grew a crab -

the way of cothradelbip is an in-
evitable part of the process of grow-

lone ascounlbs for it. We say we
grow away from our friends; but who
has not had the experience Of re-
newing an old friendship and finding
it vat broken at a11, but merely rusty
with disuse? To keep friendships in
rniattirity, we need that time to live
which is the natural birthright of
Childhood. •When we had time, com-
radeship was one of the things 'that
naturally filled it, humanity needing
camradees'hip no less. than solitude,
During the war, men in the army
delrielo•ped unusually strong comn•ade-
ship. They sat around by the hour in
barracks and, dugouts, talking. They
had time to know and appreciate ono
another; and sometimes men who had
been far apart it education and en-
vironment disecovered a queer, deep
likeness and understanding that
'bound them together. Wfltheut time
they never would have discovered this
understanding. They would have re=
maimed worlds apart—,as they Me-'
came in most .cases, when they went
Ibacek to civilian life. Many a man who
hated the army and the war found in
the experience one great and unex-
pected comipensation,—feilows'hip.
The kill development of fellowship,
in other words, requires either a gen-
emus 'amount of time djeliberately de-
voted to it, or, better still, an ar-
rangement of time that permits cos-,
val visiting, informal d+roppings , in
when• the spirit rniomes, merely to
talk, merely to do this or that per-
haps, trivial thing together. In this
casual intimacy are found the rich
nuggets of comradeship. •
'But the high-pressure organization
of to -day is wholly against the drop-
ping -in habit. Again and again a
friend: 'says, "I would have, dropped
in to See you, but I knew you were
busy." If you drop in to see him at
his office, you know very. well you
are interruprting something„ and you
leave as soon as, ipossieble. If either
drops in to see the other of an eve-
ning, the chances are an organized
party, is afoot that rules out any pos.:
sibility of . sitting arourld and chew-
ing the rag.
Not of course, that we should
spend • all our time dropping* in and
being dropped in upon. But it is a
question of balance.. We have duled
out to too great an extent the spon-
taneous, unpremeditated, impulsive,
disorganized sort of fellowship that
should be one of the richest things
in life. For it we exchange work and
organization. I. for one believe we
have made a bad exchange. It would
be better to get a little less done and
let the heart grow a little more sup-
ple with comradeship. Friends enough,
we will lose anyway, and the time al-
lotted us to live is none too long. I
hate to think of coming to the end
of it and suddenly realizing that it's
too late; that I failed to take the
time m9.ht have' had
for, fellowship.

Ontario Agriculture.
Well Represented
A very comprehensive picture of
Ontario agriculture will -be given to,
the 'visitors at the World's Grain Ex-
hibition and Conference through the
large'educational exhihit that has
been prepared by the Extension De-
partment of the Ontario Agricultural
College for the Ontario Department
of Agriculture.
The display is 1;20 feet in .length,
and is divided into five units that
show the most recent advances in
poultry and hog production, 'and the
latest developments in .•teres and
leguimle breeding that have been..
made in Ontario. These four panels
ere balanced about+ the central unite
which provides key to the whole
scheme with the caption, "Ontario
Agriculture, A Well Balanced Sys-
tem, With Much Livestock and Regu-
lar Rotation of Crops."
The idea of crop rotations as the
most important factor in the success
of Ontario agriculture is also very
forcibly presented in the central pan-
el by means of an eight -foot wheel,
which revolves slowly, showing •in a
very striking manner the crops and
arrangement that go to' make up a
good rotation for Ontario.
The Regina ,Exhibit is the latest
anis largest of a large number of ed-
ucational displays prepared at the
.Ontario A-griculturai College, to pre-
sent different phases of Ontario Ag-
riculture to the public in Canada,
United States and England.
FARM, NOT1S
Barn Fires.
The Ontario Fire inaxshals' re-
cords show that more 'barns are de-
stroyed by •fire originating ' from
spontaneous combustion in hay than
from any other cause except lightning
in unrodded 'barns. ••
Hier -vest weather conditions in 1932
were so. dangerous that more barn
fires than ever were expected. In-
stead there were 278 fewer barns
burned in Ontario and a decrease of
17 per cent. in the numiber of fires
known to be caused by spontaneous
combustion.
Receive More For Produce As Result
of Conference
The 'effect on. Canadian agricul-
tural trade of preferences granted by
Great !Britain, at the Imperial Con-
ference, was not readily appreciated
when sterling was depreciated, says

cian.

ever, and more particularly in the
last month, the price of sterling in
terms of Canadian dollars has shown
an aimo•st sensational appreciation.
From January 9th of this year to
July 10th, sterling rose from $3.76 to
84.98. This `means that producers in
'Ontario receive approximately one-
third more for their produce, without
causing the :British consulmer any in-
crease • in price.
Canadian producers should appreci-
ate the advantage they possess in
the 1lritish n>tarket, made even more
profitable by this latest rise' in sterl-
ing; and every effort ,must be made
to establish a reputation of grades\
and regularity of supply" for 'Canad-
ian farm products. These are the two
essential requirements demanded by
British importers.
Use of Sulphur
Sulphur would seem to have but
little connection with horticulture,
and yet there are many uses for it
in the garden, declares J. F. Clark,
Horticultural Lecturer, Aegricultiiral
Societies Branch. It is - particularly
valuable in preventing mildew and
black spot on- roses. It is most effici-
ent when combined with arsenate of
lead, nine parts of sulphur to one of
the poison, making` what is common-
ly 'called the Massey dust. This pre-
paration, or sulphur alone, is also
helpful in protnetings, phloxand
delphiniums frorml attacks of mildew.
If sweet
pear show signs nrld
ey
,
they, too, should be dusted with sul-
phur. Mixed. with arsenate' of lead;
it is useful for dusting on cucumbers
and melons to' keep away striped
beetles and flea beetles. It is im-
portant, however, that, the dust
sliouid be the very finely groundkind
obtained at 'the seed store and not
the coarse. sulphur sold in drug stores.
Ontario Storage Poultry Below Five
Year Average.
Stacks of storage poultry are
cleaning up quite well, states T. A.
Benson, Federal Department of Agri-
culture, who is senior poultry pro-
moter in Ontario. There' is less poul-
try in cold storage than at this •thne
last year and these stocks are below
the five year average.' This is par-
ticularly true of chiokens, and the
prospects for a, fair market for chick-
ens are good..
Producers would be well advised
to- work theeir crop off gradually
through the sla'v'er months instead
of selling them all off at the one
time in the fall.
There have been some Spring
chickens corning on the market dur-
ing the last week or so, mostly broil-
ers.
tOne important marketing factor
lost sight of by the shipper Fs that;
poor, unfinished poultry is very . de-
trimental from,a general price stand- •
point,' particularly thin broile,rs, and'
do not bring repeat orders, -lacking•
as they do in fat to give them flavor
and tender ,eating qualities. Rather
than attempt to market ten 'many
chickens as (broilers, a better platy
would be to. caponize the I eghorns
and !keep the heavier breeds until
they could he finished as small roast-
ers. The demand should nee extra
good for IMilkfed A and B grades of
fresh roasters throughout the sum-
mer menthe. :Below Grade B the
quality is such as to constitute a
drug on the market. One important:
thing to remember is that chickens
should be crate' fattened for two or
