Christian: Stewardship 2 Corinthians 9 Memory Selection: Every luau according as he parposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudg- ingly, or of necessity, for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corin- thians 91. The church is often criticized because of its frequent appeals for money. But how little the church receives compared with what is spent for liquor and to- bacco! The Anglican Council for Social Service in its report to the General Synod last November estimated that the costs and loss- es of drinking in Canada for the i0 -year period was $4,580,273,000. Of this $1,922,233,000 went to the provinces and Dominion govern- ment as revenue, leaving a net cost to the people of $2,664,0.0,- 000. We believe the churches use the comparatively insignifi- cant amount which they receive for more worthwhile purposes In the instance of our lesson Paul was appealing for a good offering for the needy Christians at Jerusalem, The poor people of Macedonia had responded most generously, They first gave themselves to the Lord. What would the church at rich Cor- inth do? Paul had predicted well of them but be sent Titus in ad- vance just in case they had ne- glected to respond to this appeal. In his exhortation he cited the greatest example of giving: "Xe know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he be- came poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." Someone has suggested that there are five levels of giving, 1, The "Tip" level- Those who give a small coin to the Lord, the same way that they tip the waitress. It is just a little mat- ter of appreciation for the Lord. e 2. T h e "Entertainment" level - those who refuse to pledge and give only when they come to church. They give as they give to a theatre, or the ball game. They give when they go. 3. The "Emotional" level- those who give only when they are emo- tionally stirred. They refuse to give when their feelings are hurt. They may give once or twice a year according to feel- ings, 4. The "Promise" level - Those who pledge but neglect the. promise. They never or sel- dom pay up. 5. The "Bible" level- those who give systemati- cally and proportionately. Here is cheerful, joyous, regular giv- ing, week by week- both to their local church needs and to the wider work of the church. God loves the cheerful giver. A/C I1N 11 iJI- Something Will Grow No matter what sort of a spot we have there are some things that will grow. In gardening one hears much of fine, rich loam and sunshine, and while those conditions may be ideal for a lot of plants, there are others that actually prefer a location fa° less favorable. In poor dusty soil, for instance, there are hardy flowers like portulaca, alyssum, zinnias, and many more that will make a good showing. Then the dark corners near walls or under fairly dense shades are ideal places for begonias and pansies and certain fern -like flowers that shrink away from the bright Cheese Balls Balls A.d Food BY DUROTIIIY MADDOX W/E all turn to salads when the weather gets warm. 11 salads include some form of protein such as cheese, eggs, fish or meat, they can be used as main dishes for luncheon. Here are two main -dish salads and a delicious buttermilk cote slaw. " CRISPY CHEESE BALLS (Makes 8 bails, about 11/4 inches lhl dtanhoter)• One package (3 ounces) cream cheese, 1/4 to 1/2 cup candy -coated Puffed wheat. Form cheese into balls and roll in cereal. Serve with pineapple, orange, or other fruit salads. For an attractive salad, center 2 or 3 crispy cheese balls on lettuce or other salad greens. Arrange fruit sections in swirls around the cheese balls. BUTTE1tM1LK COLE SLAW Shred a head of crisp cabbage very thin. Then slice thin 2 small onions, 5 or 6 stuffed green olives, and add with 10 capers to the cabbage. Salt to taste. ' Dressing: Use 1 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, y teaspoon ,paprika, a very little curry powder, 1 teaspoon cape,' juice, 1 tea- spoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Next add just enough buttermilk to make it as thick as cream. Toss dressing and salad until thoroughly mixed. TOSSED MACARONI SALAD WITH BLEU -CHEESE DRESSING (Makes 6 servings) One tablespoon salt, 3 quarts boiling water, 8 ounces elbow macaroni (2 cups), 1/2 medium-sized head lettuce, shredded, 1/4 bunch chicory, broken in pieces, 2 medium-sized tomatoes, cut In wedges, 2 tablespoons chopped onion, 1/s cup chopped celery, 1 green pepper, cut in thin strips, 1112 -ounce package bleu cheese, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup salad oil, >� teaspoon meat sauce, 1/q teaspoon garlic salt, 11/ teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, dash paprika. Add 1 tablespoon salt to rapidly boiling water, Gradually add macaroni so that water continues to boil. Cools uncovered, stirring Valu Salad These crispy cheese balls will turn any kind of fruit salad into a main dish for an attractive summer areal, occasionally, until tender, Drain In colander. Rinse with cold water and drain again. Chill. In a large salad bowl, combine chilled macaroni, lettuce, chicory, tomato wedges, onion, celery and green pepper; toss lightly but thoroughly. Chill. Crumble bleu cheese. In a small bowl, combine bleu cheese and remaining ingredients; mix thoroughly. Add bleu cheese dressing to chilled salad; mix lightly but thoroughly, sun. liven soggy corners have their favorites and poor wind- swept rocky slope s. Rugged climates, too, are no handicap. Indeed in some northern gar- dens are grown the very finest of vegetables and the brightest of flowers. Away up or rather down on the northern tundras in the summer time the ground is aflame with bright bloom. In any good Canadian seed cata- logue will be listed flowers and vegetables that will thrive in unusual places and it will pay to study these special likes if we are to do the best with unusual locations, .Hot Weather Hilts The wise gardener will change his methods when the days turn hot, With the lawn he will cut less frequently, and not so short, and he will usually let the clip- pings lie where they fall to form a bit of protecting mulch. In the flower and' vegetable garden, even if no weeds have been allowed to grow, he will continue a light cultivation once a week or every ten days, to create what is known as a dust mulch which will prevent evaporation of moisture from the soil, Before going on holidays it is an excellent plan to go over flower and vegetable gardens lightly with grass clippings or similar material to conserve the moisture. If necessary and pos- sible one should water thorough- ly the night before the final pre - holiday cultivation, Still Time There is still time for a show of flowers and a fine yield of vegetables. In fact one can go on sowing all sorts of seeds and setting out plaits right up to July in many parts of Canada and still get good results. With a bit of luck in the weather, mostly in the way of showers, growth is very rapid during the extraor- dinarly long hours of sunlight we have in June. To catch up experienced gardeners will use a little extra care with these late started gardens. They will make sure the soil is well cultivated and enriched where at all pos- sible with chemical fertilizer or manure, They will thin seed- lings to give them plenty of roots. With certain flowers and veg- etables that require a long sea- son to bloom or mature they will use well start ed plants, watering carefully and perhaps shading from the hot sun for a few days after they are set out.

TI1.UU. I 1 MM 1O 'T tJ 0 aLszea A lot of folks will tell you that sheep ruin a pasture for cattle because they "Graze it down to the roots -and below." I have always contended that more often than not the fault lies with the poorness of the pasture -or else that too many sheep are grazed for the size of it. This contention is borne ow by the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa. Here is their dope. 0 b 0 Pasture areas improved by re- seeding and fertilizing can be kept in good condition and better returns secured from them by grazing with mixed sheep and cattle than by sheep or cattle alone, judging by the average of seven years' results at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. u. 4 This seven - year experiment showed that a pasture treated with 10 tons of manure per acre every four years, and grazed with both sheep and cattle, had a carrying capacity 23 pet cent greater than an adjoining field given a similar application of manure• but grazed with sheep alone. Compared with another adjoining field of permanent pas• tures receiving no manure and grazed by sheep alone, the in crease was 50 per cent. 4: R. On a fourth adjacent field, not manured but fertilized with 100 pounds of sulphate of ammonia per: ,acre each year plus 300 pounds of superphosphate and 70' pounds of muriate of potash applied every four years. mixed grazing gave all increase of 43 per cent over the manured field grazed with sheep alone; 0.0 per cent over a similarly fertilized Plaid, grazed with steers alone, and 74 per cent more than the' untreated Feld. Bach of these fields consisted of foul' acres, uta terms of actual Mai produced, the untreated field showed 159 pounds average yearly gain in weight by the sheep grazed. on it. The manured field grazed by sheep alone pro- duced a gain of .192 pounds. The manured field grazed by sheep and cattle produced a. gain of 120 pounds for the sheep and 145 patinas for the steers. TIc for. 1. tlhzed field produce a gain of 152 pounds for the sheep and. 105 peunds•for the steers. A field given the same fertilizer tseat- nlent and 9't::cd by steers alone produced a gain of 248 pounds for the steers, still below either of the mixed -grazed fields in total meat production. All gains are based on 150 days of graz- ing. P. E. Sylvestre and S. B. Wil- liams, of the Animal Husbandry Division at the Farm, state: "Grazing with cattle and sheep resulted in a definite increase over grazing with sheep alone. This was not only due to the greater number of stock carried on that pasture but also to the higher daily gains of the Iambs in the mixed -grazed fields. There was a better utilization of the grass available. Little of the herbage was noticed going to seed in the mixed grazed fields, while there was considerable waste on that account ie the fields grazed by sheep alone. Thus the mixed -grazed fields did not require clipping. The quality of tl'te sward was also improved. The mixture of clovers and grasses was considered almost ideal in the mixed -grazed fields while there was little improve• mint in the others. ":'1- certain amount of care must he exercised, however, in the proportion of sheep to cattle Three ewes and their lambs to one two year-old steer gave ex- cellent results." Considerable interest has arisen in recent years in the possibilities Of chemical thinning or tree fruits, particularly apples. I11 vestigations al'e being carried on at Ottawa and at various branch stations. At Surnmerland the sodium salt of dinitru ortho cresol and certain hormone fila tarials have been reasonably of festive. The standard method of applying these sprays hat been with. the conventional sprayer and hand spray grins. Using this method, about 1.5 pints of sodium dinar() cresolate per 100 gallons of water .are applied to the tree the full bloom stage as a drench- ing spray, Tests have also shown that apples eau be thinned jus' as effectively with concentrate es with haled sprayers, and that the ainoullt of sodium dinitro CPCSO' tate required is approximately 15 pints per acrd. This diluted with .100 gallons of Water gives an application of about two gal- lons per tree, Using a borlilone spray of alpha naphthalene acetic acid, 73 grams of 110l'rlone per erre gave satisfactory results. IJlflitultil. arise, however, in t,5 -. a r,G a c� the use o1 these • chemicals. The dinitrus are caustic and burn the floral parts and leaves severely while the hormone spray may cause severe distorition and dwarfing of the foliage. Recent reports indicate that delayed ap- plications of hormones up to four weeks beyond the calyx stage would reduce this injury. Investigations are under way at Ottawa to determine whether delayed sprays will reduce the injuries arising f r o n1 these sprays, and at the same time give effective thinning of the fruit, Results so far, indicate that with certain of the hormones, at least, delayed spraying is a pos- sibility. The Vast Amazon The Sea River (Amazon) has eleven hundred known tributar- ies. Ten of them are larger than the Rhine. Seven are a thousand miles long. The Madeira is three thousand miles long and collects ninety tributaries of its own be- fore it joins the Amazon. Stand- ing where they join you can just make out the other shore of the Madeira but you cannot see across the Amazon. , . Place the mouth of the Ama- zon at New 'York and its arms would reach up into Canada and down into Mexico and almost to California. Straighten out the kinks, and the smaller end would stretch twelve hundred miles out into the Pacific. (It seems unbelievable, but figure it for yourself. The breadth of the con- tinent is twenty-eight hundred miles; the length of the Ama- zon, according to corrected sur- veys, a little over four thousand miles.) A11 Europe could be placed within the Amazon basin and have room left for half a dozen Japans. The Amazon is not satisfied with Brazil. it sends its feelers far up into Bolivia, Peru, Ecua- dor, Colombia and Venezuela and the Amazon basin includes gen- erous portions f these nations. The sources of the great river are high Andean lakes only eighty miles from the .Pacific coast. - From "The Amazing Amazon," by Willard Price.
