Joshua 1;9.
To two leaders are alike„ yet
all leaders have some traits, in
common. Let us consider Moses
who led Israel for forty yearn
and his successor Joshua.
Both had the conviction that
they were called of God to the
role of leadership. When .Moses
rejected adoption as the son a
Pharaoh's ,daughter and turned
to the interests of his people "hot
supposed his brethren would
have understood how that God
by his hand, would deliver them:
but they understood pot." (Acts
7:25.) Forty years later, at the
burning bush, the call of God
became imperative,
For forty years. Joshua was
aide-de-camp to Moses. He led
in the defense of Israel against
Amalek. He only, went with
Moses into Mt. Sinai when he
received the law. As leader of
the tribe of Ephraim he was ono
of the twelve to spy out tho
land. He was prepared, to accept
appointment on the eve of
Moses' death. Great leaders need
to feel that they are men ot
destiny. They can't inspire con-
fidence unless they have cemit-
deice in themselves.
Leaders must have courage.
Moses pbssessed it or he would
not have ventured on a task
which from all human standard*
was iMpossible. Joshua showed
his courage in joining with Caleb
,,in presenting a minority report
of hope when they returned
from spying out the land. We
see his courage in ,`leading in the
conquest of the land.
Leaders need a ;good prepar-
ation. Moses as a baby, had godly
training. In youth he learned all
the wisdom of the,,Egyptians, Ha
learned from his mistake in pre.,
sumptuously slaying the Egyp-
flan.. In forty years of tending
sheep he learned in patience
how to watch, guide, guard, heal
and feed. This, training proved
..hivaluable in preparing to ex-
-.excise these same functions over
the Children 'of Israel. Joshua
learned much from his loth-nate
association with MoseS.
Faith in God was absolutely
necessary for Moses and .yeshtik

ments. * .
Though safflower has reached
commercial production, many
problems remain for the agrono-
mist and the plant breeder to
overcome. These problems if not
solved may well endanger the
prospects of this crop in Canada.
Safflower is a hardy plant and
has done well under dryland
farming, and on irrigated land.
However, farmers may find that
under certain weather condi-
tions the seed does not fill out
properly. This is thought' to be
due to too ' much moisture at
blossoming time. Studies are un-
derway to learn more about this
characteristic and to select lines
' which might , tolerate, higher
humidity. * • •
Safflower must be seeded early
even 'in the southern areas, be-
cause. it requires a. long season'
to mature. It has about the same
froSt, resistance as: barley and
therefore is not endangered by
early seeding. Particular atten-
tion is being given to the selec-
tion of lines which are early in
maturity. • • •

Got His Dentures
From A Deer
Hunter Francis Wharton, of
Little Fort, British Columbia,
bagged a fine deer on a hunting
trip and looked forward to eat-
ing the venison,
When he lost his top set of
false teeth on the way back, it
looked as though he was going
to be cheated of the meal, for
he could not immediately afford
a new set.
His appetite, however, prompt-
ed his ingenuity. He extracted
the teeth from the deer, spent
three hours filing and grinding
them, down to size.
Then he made a plate from
plastic wood, moulding it around
the roof of his mouth. Next, he
fitted the deer's teeth into place
and secured them with cement,
The teeth worked perfectly,
the venisen, eating it with its
and Wharton was able to enjOY-
owh teeth!
ONE MAN'S MEAT . . .
Aldo Yenco, ,a butcher In
Rome; was suspicious of the ells-
tomer who complained that the
meat recently sold' to 'him was
bad.

ment during winter Afternoons
arid eveningS. They were useful
hr counting games. They become
wampum when we "played In-
dian,' We used them to trace
floral and geometrize designs on
the carpet and the floev. Our
imaginations were' alwelys find-
ing new uses to which the shell's
could be placed, writes 'B then
E. Wood in The Christian Sci-
ence Wither.
Once, our cans were tilled_ with
shells, we turned to other at-
tractions 4t the shore, We re-
moved our shoes and stockings,
left the rock-covered beech, and
walked out onto the ..muddy
flats,. where we drew feces asici
figures with pointed, sticks,
When the turning tide warned
us off the fiat, we hunted drift-
wood on the upper beach and,
delighted tp find an occasional
dowel or lobster trap thrown
.there by some flood-tide,
When dinner time Came, the
seven harvesters were glad of
the cart ride home, Alice, Olive,
and I, carried our harvest in' our
arms but the others left, their
harvest in several dozen little
mounds in the lower meadow.
Nor was the work, of the rock-
weed harvest completed. Cousin
Herman later mixed barn ma-
nure and plant foliage with the
rockweed. As long as the material •
remained unfrozen., it was pitch-
ed over eyery few days so that
the plants would be well mixed
and equally exposed to the
cleansing rains.
May was the month that saw
the final disposal of the f"..ock-
weed. Cousin Hermae had the
same crew that he had had in
October. But in the spring, Shep
and Don-dog went .along be-
cause they loved a run in the
greening field, where' they mined
for woodchuck runs. 'Again, the
boys ,took turns' in driving the
oxen;. again, Otis was given the
longest turn; This time; the,four
workers shared, the work equal-
ly. The,y loaded the cart with
compbst, which they later spread'
on the field and the plowed
piece, where the, turnips and the
other root vegetables were to
be planted.
In May; we girls had no in-
terest in a harvest of shells: We
found' attraction in the meadow
rather .Than on the shore,. We
scouted the field for wild stra`tv-
berry blossoms so that when July
came we would be able to find
the fragrant red berries. We fol-
lowed- the meadow w brook in
search, of the bright-flowered .
marsh marigolds, whose' leaves
we gathered 'for, greens. 'We
walked along the edge of the
meadow to inspect the bulging
buds of -the wild apple trees.
As Cousin Herman and his
helpers spread the compost, they
talked of the weather., the smelt-
ing season, and the news , of
neighborhood and village. But
before' the 'task of.'spreading was
completed, one of .the workers
was sure to say, "There should
be a good yield of hay in• this
meadow. One harvest that al-
ways pays is the rockvveed har-
vest,"
DO UNTO OTHERS
Pray, find no fault with the man
who limps or stumbles along
the road,
Unless you -have wore the shoes
he wears, or struggled beneath
his load.
There may be tacks in his shoes
that hurt through hidden away
frpin.view;
Or the burden he bears, placed
on your back,.might cause you
to stumble too.
Don't be too harsh with the man
who sins, or pelt him with
word Or stone,
Unless you' are sure, yes .doubly
sure, that you have not sins of
your own.
For you know, perhaps if. the
tempter's voice should whisper
as soft to you,
As it did to him when he Went
astray, 4 tWotild cause you to
falter too.

to several diseases but so far
these have been of minor impor-
tance. Commercial varieties are
susceptible to rust but rust re-
sistant types are known and are
being used in the breeding pro,
gram. Root rots frequently have
dime considerable damage on ir-
rigated land particularly in some
varieties. Selection is underway
to increase the resistance to root
rots and also leaf diseases which
are found more frequently in
some focations than others and
in certain seasons.
Safflower is grown for the oil
contained in the seed. Particular
attention is being given in the
breeding program td those selec-
tions which are higher in oil
content. In making yield com-
parisons with other oilseed crops,
it is important to take into ac-
count the fact that :safflower
seed has 35 to 50 per cent hull.
If safflower is to find a place
among the oilseed crops in. Can -
Ada it will have to maintain its
rank on the• basis' of ell returns

Rockweed Harvest
CQUSIn Herman was the only
f'riend's Corner farmer who
iarvested rOckweed. Father. and
Judei Arthur recognized, its for-
ilizee value but they had little

date of the harvest was always
ancertalh because we had to
Wait until the southerly gales of
-eptember and October had torn
the reolcWeed. from the offshore
islands and deposited it along
the rocky beach. The morning
selected had to be one of low
tide.
On some October Saturday,
Cousin Herman was sure to say,
"This is the day!' We young•
folks rallied to the curt sum-
mons. Austin and my brothers
eagerly volunteered their as-
sistance because they anticipated
the pleasure of taking turns in
driving Star and Bright, the
tawny red oxen. Each of the
three boys knew" equally well the
use of "Gee" and "Haw," signals
that were called to guide the
beasts to the right and left. They
were equally skilled in swinging
the goad stick. But. they were
not equally successful in hand-
ling Star' and Bright.
Austin Wes too quick in, the
giving of directions and the use
of the stick, His father always
.said with a sign, "You will never
make a teamster," Ben laughed
and talked and, frequently sang
when he guided the oxen. His
high 'spirits Had an Upsetting, ef-
fect upon his charges, who start-
ed to swing their great heads
uneasily. Their owner was quick
to take the goad from Ben and
place it in the steady hands of
my older brother, who, accord-
ing to Aunt Hannah, was a "born
Friend." Otis' quiet steadiness
was sure to calm the oxen.
Olive and Alice and I joined
the harVesting party with no ex-
pectation of being allowed to
drive the oxen. In fact, we pre-
ferred to, be behind the great
beasts rather than beside them.
We found the ride ,in the two-
Wheeled cart pleasurable as the
oxen followed -the winding mea-
dow road from barnyard to sea-
shore,
Though we girls Were familiar
with the routine of the rock-
weed harvest; we enjoyed watch-
ing the work for a few. minutes.
Star and Bright; their nostrils
covered with nose-baskets, lest
they turn to feeding, were guid-
ed along the irregular margin of
the field by dtis. Cousin Herman
took the..laboriotts task of gath-
ering up the seaweed with a
pitchfork and tossing ,it to the
ineadOW 'triage above the beach,
Ben and Austin piled the wet,
salty weeds onto the cart. The
oxen drew the loaded cart to the
rocky point at the end of the
meadow. There the rockweed,
was stacked in small piles to be
bleached and' rinsed of salt by
the fall rains and the winter:
snows.
Some years the supply of loose
seaweed on the shore was not
sufficient for my cousin's needs,
Then he took a short-bladed
scythe and cut the• rockweed
from the ledges. This process we
watched with interest and ad-
miration, His successful cutting
of the weed irilts rocky bed evi-
denced his skill as a hand mow-
tr.
The rugged shore yielded a
lia.rvest other than that of rock-

we girls gathered. We had each
brought along a tin can, one in
which had come cocoa shells, the
source' of a favorite breakfast
beverage. We walked the beach

Canadian hog produders mar-
keted 2,248,000 grade B1 hogs
through inspected packing plants
in 1957.. This was 41 per cent of
the total' of 5;400,000 hogs mar-
, keted through these plants.
Had the B1 hogs graded as A's,,
they would have brought $5,620,-
000 more to the fanners who
raised'them—$1.00 more per hog.

$1.50 more per hog as the aver-

Of all these reasons for the,

was by far the major fault. Out
