important feature in the control of many plant diseases and concerns particularly the destruc tion of diseased material so that the sources of infection are eradicated as far as possible while sanitation is a necessary feature in control of bacterial diseases it is also extremely valuable in helping to control those caused by fungi in both types of diseases the causal organism remains active from year to year in diseased material and all such material acts as a source of infection for further spread with fungous diseases spraying prac tices can generaly be depended on to give satisfactory control but this control is madee and more complete if 4 3 4 eph 2 2- israel hal three choices 1 the god their fathers served beyond the euphrates in favor of them was antiquity and ancestral usage a conclusive argument with some today 2 the gods of the amorltes in favor of them was that it was the religion of the people in whose land ye dwell if the israelites who wera with the amorltes had done as the amorltes did they would have suffered the fate or the amorites 3 jehovah the true god the god who had re deemed and protected them it would have no influence upon joshua how the rest decided as tor me and my house we will serve jehovah happy the man who determines that even if hehas to stand alone if everybody else gives up the bible and the god of the bible he will continue to believe the one and serve the other joshua jleclded for his family as well as himself cf ac 16 diseased material in so far as possible is destroyed bacterial diseases how ever are not so readily controlled by spraying practices and therefore sanita tion is a necessary feature in all control recommendations this has been re peatedly demonstrated in the case of fire blight a bacterial disease of pears and apples which is only controlled by removing and destroying all diseased material virus diseases such as mosaics and leaf curl are also controlled by roguing i out and destroying affected plants ex perimental work with the virus diseases affecting raspberries has shown that losses from these diseases can be greatly reduced by thorough and careful roguing of stock for planting purposes as well as during the first two yearsof the plantation certified raspberry nursery stock has been developed by the division of botany of the experimental farms to old growers i combatin these dis eases by making available diseasefree stock for planting purposes in the case of other crops virus troubles can only be controlled by destroying affected plants soilborne diseases such as wilts and rootrots are also best controlled by sanitary methods plants affected with destroyed and not allowed to remain in from the slave glass and bringing them the ground where they serve to infect the soil and cause it t become sick such soil will harbour the disease organ isms for a number of years and suscept ible crops may become affected with the disease at least a four year rotation of crops is- advisable where trouble has been experienced with these diseases growers therefore can aid materially in control measures by sanitation or des troying all diseased material thus re ducing sources of infection for these troubesome diseases 31 eph e4f there was tremendous posltlveness in joshuas assertion it doubtless had great weight with the rest of israel while joshua laid upon each one the responsibility of choosing for himself he insisted that they must choose at once this day whom they would serve they gave four reasons for their choice 1 jehovah brought us up out of the house of bondage cf jno 8 36 gal 5 1 2 jehovah did great signs in our sight cf jno 3 2 14 11 3 jehovah preserved us in11 the way wherein we went cf 1 pet l 5 jude 24 4 jehovah droye out frpm before us all the peoples eph 6 1012 these were absolutely conclusive reasons and every one of them holds for our serving christ in thelight of what jehovah had done for them the israelites would have been great fools to forsake him and in the light of what christ has done for us and is doing for us we would be worse than fools to give it up or any part of it in passing the israelites gave a good reason ii masters and servants 6 19 the bible has much to say about the duties of christian servants and some of i juut precious passages are former in words addressed primarily to ser vants yes even to bond servants

first of these the beret is the only one which has survived for any length of time last autumn the empress kugople suddenly became famous every woman rushed to buy it but within a few weeks it had become too fashionable so it mas replaced by the bolder this hat was supplanted a few weeks later by the robin hood not one style lasted more than two months and in the meantime less popu lar styles
