Any party to be of value to the el- ectors to -day must have a reconstruc- tion ` program and, no doubt, by the time the election gets under way, the :manifesto of the various parties will supply plenty of food for thought. One thing we are sure of, however, .and that is the present ills in our ec- anomic System and our unemployment .cannot be cured in a short peroid of time. Golden Text; The unemployment problem, we be- . ,Let judgment run down as waters, lieve, is here to stay, and a eolution and righteousness as a mighty stream. -will be difficult to find. In England (Amos 5:24.) - -where things are looking very bright, the unemployment is still acute and God had a controversy with Israel. the plans of those in power appear to That is why Amos appeared on the point to the fact that there is no per- scene.

God does not have a controversy with any human beings while they are doing His will, but only when they are revolting against Him. Israel was in the midst of great prosperity; and in the midst of equally great revolt against God. Israel as a nation has had no monopoly on this. Many a nation since the day of Amos has known great prosperity and has turned away from God. There is more spiritual evil in prosperity than in ad- versity, as Israel's experience proves. Is this not true of all nations? Amos was not an "ordained minis - at a value of $80,000. A noble effort for a worthy cause. :s * * THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AMOS (PROPHET OF SOCIAL JUSTICE.)

InZionisnn Israel is returning to the land in unbelief. The day is coming when "all Israel shall be saved: as it old, he obeyed the call and God used , is written, .There shall come out of him mightily to bring snultitudes to repentance and salvation. Amos burst upon the scene with scathing, searing denunciations of the national life, and with terrifying pre- dictions of God's coming judgments. And this while Israel was at the height of her power! "Nothing could Seem inore improbable than the ful- fillment of Amos's warnings; yet within fifty years the kingdom was utterly destroyed." This was not because Amos had ex- ceptionally keen insight, or power of diagnosis, nor was it because he made a lucky guess as to Israel's future. He was simply the channel of God's divine revelations. He was one of the many men and women raised up of. God throughout Bible, tisnesDto be lit- erally the mouthpiece of the Holy Spirit in giving God's message to men. God's prophecies cannot fail. Men's prophecies fail far oftener than they are fulfilled. God has done more for Israel than for any other nation since the begin- ning of the world, Amos brings the prophecy (3: 1, 2) addressed by the Lord to Israel: "You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." To be highly favor- ed of God brings greater responsibil- ities and obligations -and greater.pen- al.ties for failure. Great Britain, Can- ada, the United States have all been highly favored of God. Are these na- tions faithful to their responsibilities? Has God ever warned them of assur- ed judgments if faithfulness is replac- ed by faithlessness? Again, God says to and through Amos: "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets." That is giving men "a square deal," All nations today have the Bible, and in this Book, by His prophets, God has revealed His secrets. Prosperity and unrighteousness al- ways mean oppression and cruelty. God warns the leaders and rich peo- ple of Israel that they "oppress the poor" and "crush the needy." Because of these and other sins, God's judg- ment must strike -unless repentance brings the nation back to God. But Israel was very religious. Beth- el and Gilgal were places of false worship, and God says, with divine satire: "Come to Bethel, and trans- gress; at Gilgal multiply transgres- sion; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years." Barren religion saves no one. Only when the heart of the worship- per has been turned over fully to God can there be any acceptable worship of God. The prophet lists judgment after judgment that God has sent upon the nation: Drought, failure of crops, blasting and mildew, destructive in- sect pests, physical pestilence, disas- trous wars. With what result? Did the nation recognize that these judgments were from God, and turn to Him in re- pentance, confession, faith and obed- ience? Repeatedly through the chap- ter we read: "Yet have ye not re- turned unto Me, saith the Lord. Amos interceded in behalf of Israel, and God heard the prayers. of Amoss and postponed His judgments. But Israel did not repent, and so the judg- ment must strike. They tried to muzzle the true pro- phet of God. That attempt did not end in At ios's day; it has gone on from that day to this, and there are treu prophets of God .wham eccle- siastical authorities are still seeking to muzzle. A false priest complained. of Amos to King Jeroboam, and corn - 'mended Anios to stop his pessimistic preaching. But men of the Amos type cannot be muzzled. He had not received his commission from the Ring, but from• God. He answered, quietly and bold- ly: "I was no prophet, neither was 1 a prophet's son:; but . the Lord said unto me, Go phophe'sy unto my. people Israel." And his fiery messages continued. God' speaks a solemn and terrible word. Israel would not . repent. "Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O ilsrael: and because I will clo this unto; thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel." 'We think of the words, "Prepare to meet thy God," as referring to death. They may refer to God's judgments: now and here in this present life. To most nations today -for most have been nationaly heedless of God or re- bellious against Him -God is speak- ing those words. Put there is a bright eliding to the book of Arnos. The prophet is given divine vision of a day still ahead, of which God says: "And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant .ttnto them, when I shall take away their sins."

Spring grains are showing splendid growth. Oats and barley are well rooted with propects of a good average yield. Haying operations are general although .cutting of a heavy crop of alfalfa ,has been delayed by rain. Pasturage is in exception ally' good condition. Corn germinated ev- enly'and warmer weather is now need- ed to promote rapid growth. Root crops are making .excellent headway with indications of a ,!teavy yield of sugar beets, Harvesting of a large crop of early canning peas will com- mence shortly. , Fruits continue to. show good promise and a bumper crop of strawberries is now being - marketed. • Early tomatoes are pro- gressing satisfactorily and tobacco plants show a good stand. The Advantage of Pasture Records of the feed cost of milk ,production at the Central Experimen- tal Farm for the year 1934 show that during the seven stable feeding months the average cost of milk was 72 cents per 100 lbs., while, during the five pasture months, the feed cost was only 46 cents per 100 pounds, or a reduction of over 36 per cent., and that in a dry season when consider- able supplementary feeding was ne- cessary. Sisnilarly, with beef cattle, under winter feeding conditions it re- quires heavy feeding of expensive grains to make a gain of two pounds, a day, while on fresh spring pasture, two-year-old steers have been known to gain 400 to 500 pounds in a pasture season. A gain of two pounds a day over a pasture season of 150 days, or a total of 300 pounds increase, is con- sidered a good average. At the nom- inal rate of $2 per head per month for cultivated pasture,,this gain is a good fifty per cent. cheaper than could be obtained under winter feeding condi- tions.

Control It has been found that the roots of couch grass can be killed in three or four days by exposing them to the sun and air during the warm dry wea- ther. Authorities recommend the fol- lowing treatment: Plough the infested area four inches deep when it is in sod. This may be delayed until the middle of July and the land used ein- til that time for hay or pasture. Af- ter ploughing use the disk to break' down the furrows and induce rotting of the sod. After disking cultivate ev- ery three or four days during dry weather in order to bring the couch roots to the surface. Plough again in the fall and in thefollowing spring Sow a smother crop or, plant a hoed crop. This has proved to be a very satisfactory way to control couch grass., Local Red Clover Seed is Best ismammunia IaMIl1aIUaaluIaaiguu*isle ■ Creamery er Maitland 1 �3 O /• •■ e ■ Eggs/ i / Poultry'1 / / UNITED FA.4 MRS' CO- aPE'RATI VE a / ■ O ■ ■ 1 iM ■ THE COMPANY, LIMITED.

The normal annual Canadian consumption is more than this being between four and five million pounds. The continued low purchasing pow- er of farmers will, of course, have an effect in reducing seed purchases but the relatively low price for red clover seed, as compared with' alsike and timothy, will probably increase the ,preference for red to the extent that the total supplies of red clover seed Coccidiosis A Serious Disease Coccidiosis is an extremely common and serious disease which makes its appearance far too frequently at this season of the year in the young chick- en flock, attacking the growing chicks when from four to eight weeks old. When rain and chilly weather force the birds to crowd close to their shel- ters and become inactive; favorable conditions exist for the rapid spread of the disease through the entire flock. In mild cases the bird appear listless and droopy and may die, while in serious cases chickens which appear normal may be dead in twelve hours. Positive evidence of the outbreak may be found in bloody splashes in the drooping around the feed troughs or water fountains. These contaminated areas are dangerous and the ground should be spaded over and -'the feed troughs moved to a fresh. place. In the past outbreaks have been checked without serious loss by changing the rearing ground every year and fre- quently cleaning the houses and sur- roundings as soon as the disease is de- tected. Birds which die of the disease should be burned or buried deeply, while those showing symptoms should be isolated or destroyed: Broilers for 1Vlarket Broilers may be considered in the luxury class of food products, when properly prepared for market. When disposing of the surplus cockerels as broilers it is wefl to bear this in mind and market the birds in the most at- tractive way. It pays to please the buyer, and when there is keen compe- tition it becomes still more advisable. When catering to a select private trade it may speed up sales if the carcass is completely dressed and put in an attractive carton. When sold drawn, the shrinkage will be about 40 per cent. of the live weight, and a proportionate price mast be realized to pay for the loss in weight and ex- tra labour. Those birds .should be se- lected that have made good growth, and are plump and well feathered. The well -feathered bird have .less !pin -fea- thers and consequently dress better. Starve the birds for at least twelve hours, but give plenty of fresh drink- ing water before killing. Rill them by braining and bleeding, and clry pick. Sometimes to save time the semi -scald may be advisable. In this case ,bleed, and thoroughly immerse the carcass for not more than 30 seconds' in water heated to a temperature of not more than 127 degrees F. It is important to keep the water at an even temper- ature; over -heating wilt give a skin- cooked, unattractive appearance.; Supply arid Demand of Red Clover Seed Red Clover is always in popular de- mand in Canada and 'promises to be in more than average demand this spring owing to the unusual shortage and high price of alsike and timothy seed. The red clover seed supply is not as large as in most years. Last year's total production in Canada was about two and one-half rniltron pounds, and with the half million or so pounds of imported English red clover seed there will be available for Extensive tests made on the Do- minion Experimental Farms have clearly proven the superiority of red clover seed grown locally in Ontario and Quebec and time lack of winter hardiness in 'much of the imported seed, ,especially that from Southern R'urope, Generally speaking, red clov- er seed from strains that have been found to produce profitably in a par- ticular locality for a number of years is the seed best' suited to that local- ity, At the same time this seed is inter -changeable over a wide territory where climatic conditions are similar and when not subject to new insects or plant diseases. Under a provision of the Seed Act imported red clover seed is required to be properly stain- ed before being offered for sale,. 111.1•1•11011•111.11113•21M., .11111611921111019610.10t available will likely all be needed be- fore the season is over. Most of last year's red clover seed crop in Canada was grown in East- ern Ontario and Quebec, which is for- tunate from the standpoint of seed hardiness and purity. The greater part of this seed. is now in the hands of the seed houses for resale, but consider- able 'quantities are still held by the growers in the Plantagenet area in Eastern Ontario and in the Montreal district in Quebec.
