the casual observer to the student of potato dis eases this necrosis or killing is known to be an undesirable development seri ously affecting potatoes intended for seed purposes and table use net necro- bis is recognized as a network of brown ish threadlike marks or streaks origin ating at the stemend to form a fine network under the surface and generally extending toward the eyeend it may be spread throughout the tuber or confined to the outer region but not su near the surface to show through the skin net necrosis in potato tubers may be due to any one of several causes in some localities it is as wi leaf roll as a first season symptom following primary infection in such instances it is mostly the outer phloem or conducting tissue which is affected and because or this feature the term phloem necrosis is sometimes applied to this indication of leaf roll tubers from plants attacked by fusar- lum wilt usually exhibit a browning or necrosis which in well defined cases is very readuy recognized as a distinct ring if the affected tuber is cut across at the stem end this symptom may be difficult to detect in the early stage but under storage conditions it becomes con spicuous- and generally results in a des tructive rot a and very important injury referred to as frost necrosis occurs as a result of exposing potatoes to low tem peratures in the course of investiga tions conducted at the dominion lab oratory of plant pathology charlotte- town it was observed that three well- defined forms of necrosis may develop in potatoes exposed to low temperatures as follows 1 ring necrosis indicated by the browning in or near the vascular ring this type of necrosis is an in dication of slight- injury from short exposure to lew temperatures 2 net necrosis due to the darkening ottht a-was- pda in it tdothemucn flne branches of vascular cells scattered through the tuber to form an irregular netlike pattern this type of necrosis also indicates an early stage of frost injury 3 blotching which appears as dlscoloratlons in the form of small or large irregular blotches this injury js usually located towards the outer edge of the potato although it may be found in the centre area blotching is evidence of- severe frost injury potatoes having symptoms of frost injury should not be used for seed r- dont forget the tin rabbit teacher what are the races that have

people he bad a home in which jehovahs name was honored and where he as a child was taught the teachings of the holy law as a result we read v 40 that he grew and waxed strong in spirit and that the grace of god was upon him when twelve years old jesus accompanied joseph and mary to jeru salem to celebrate the feast of the pass over and became lost to them when they had sought him three days every where they could think of they at last found him in the temple he seems to have spent the time there and they ought to have sought him there in the first place v 49 he made himself very much at home in the temple he was sitting there in the midst of the doctors teachers and he was hear ing and asking them questions the questions displayed great wisdom v 4 but they were not asked to display his wisdom he wished to learn he answer ed questions as well as asked them v 47 and his answers were so pro foundly intelligent as to amaze all that heard him it was more as the perfect human boy than as the divine child that he was asking questions fa the temple and so he owed the under standing he displayed not so much to his inherent divinity as to his splrlt- guided study of the word of god ps 119 99 luke 24 27 john 3 34 not only the bystanders were amazed but mary herself who had watched him and listened to him for twelve years was astonished even mary though his mother had not understood jesus there seems to be a tone of abruptness if not complaint in the question she put to him mary was a wonderful woman 1 28 but she was not divine nor faultless while mary and joseph were surprised that he was in the temple jesus was surprised that they should search for him at all they might have come right there assured that they should find him in his fathers house 4there is no tone pf apology or regret in jesus reply though the most dutiful tender and obedient of sons v 51 john 19 16 27 he was conscious that he was something more than the son of mary he points her from the human to the divine parentage 3 23 this is the first recorded utterance of jesus and like his last 23 14 its central thought is god is my father having made the needed assertion and given jeaproof of- hlsdeity jesus resumed hls place as the supposed son ot joseph and mary gjgjuras subject unto them he took his place in the village life of nazareth and there fa the home amid things lovely and of good report ix jesus in the home of martha 38- 42 not everyone fa the days of hls flesh were so ready to receive jesus in the home as was martha she was richly repaid then and afterwards now martha had a sister named mary who also sat at jesus feet and heard his word there is no other place so good to learn asat jesus teet it matters little at the fefct of what great theolo gians we have studied if we have not also been at the feet of jesus we have as not learned much- in the eleventh chapter of john we shall again see mary at jesus feet in supplication john 11 32 it js not likely that she would ever have found her way to jesus feet in the time of her deep sorrow had she not before that hour found her way to jesus feet for teaching now martha did not hear the word as mary did for she was too much taken up with service cf mark 4- 19 there are many women today and men too who are so much taken up with their working and worrying for jesus that they miss the privilege of hearing jesus martha was occupied for jesus mary was oc cupied with jesus martha was oc cupied with many things mary was occupied not with things but with a person and only one person she found her all in all in him and the master recognized her complete abandon to the voice of his word and gave her one of the sweetestassurances that ever fell from his lips she hath chosen the better part he said to her sister which shall not be taken away from her v 42 but martha like many another follower of jesus was distracted about much serving of the lord in stead of being at rest in the lord him self love prompted the service but during the mldle ages salads were just bits of lettuce or chicory dipped in salt and eaten only by the poorer classes of people the rich were disdain ful of salats because greens were so low in cost and so common only herbs and greens were used in them it was not until the close of the seventeenth century that fish chicken and lobster were used and not until the eighteenth century that fruit was used gradually almost all kinds of meats fitter fruits and vegetables have been admitted to the ranks ot the salads today we even use some of the foods high in starch such as rice macaroni and spaghetti fa combination with something crisp and text furthermore salads have chanem their social position and have becqjne a requisite of the complete meal for the millionaire as well as for those ot more meager means for luncheon intelligent men and women often select a salad a beverage some form of bread and occasionally a dessert you can see evidence of this choice in any restaurant or cafeteria in the house or in the apartment a salad has become almost an institution especially with north american people the ancients had more leisure time than we busy bodies of today and they could well afford to linger over a meal and to eat jrorn many dishes we want food in an easily accessible form we want it appealing to the eye and palate nourishing and capable of being eaten

is also the inherited mode of expressing the ideals that we have drawn from our col onial ancestors nearly all the colonists were farmers or in some way close to the soil they were religious and they had corrie to america to establish homes j and to enjoy political freedom it was natural at a time of the year when all the products of their farms were to greatest abundance that they sh6uld fit tingly celebrate the rewards of their new life they had freedom they had harries they had plenteous harvests against the coming winter and they could worship god as they chose a day of thanks giving came into their year with pecul iar fitness just as it now comes into the year of those whose manner of life and habits of thought are similar to the colonists on the farm in the fall of the year it is easy to link thoughts of god home and the bounty of nature with thughts of praise and thanksgiving in the city it is harder if you can imagine all cur early people as traders manufacturers and city dwellers you cannot easily think of them as celebrating thanksgiving as the natural holiday of men in their ec onomic condition how many in our cities with merely a pay envelope and an overseers favor between them and want quite understand the farmers im pulse to thank god that his bins are full and that his family gathers round him in an unbroken circle how many city dwellers know what it means to get even a thanksgiving dinner without narrowly weighing the cost not many- perhaps it is difficult for some of them to set aside a day of thanksgiving for home and high rent i pack sbvns timetables

thanksgiving the festival of farm life and of reverence for the giver of all things once a year at least it is good for all of us to let our minds dwell on our blessings perhaps the fatness of the hills must to many of us be a mere figure of speech perhaps we cannot gather all the family includ ing grandparents and cousins round a small gatelegged table fa a city flat perhaps we cannot pile high the fra grant beech logs in the great open fire place perhaps the turkey savory with condiments and herbs is not in the oven yet we all have the intellectual power to comprehend if we will those things of which the thanksgiving cheer is merely thi ny w can rea the beautiful and the gocd in whatever form they appear to us we can understand the truth and freedom we can appeetp the material
