Every farmer in this long, sheltered valley raises this delicious fruit, even though he does it on a small scale. There are scores of orchards with from 200 to 1000 trees, and the largest of all, locat- ed near Kentville, contains 20,000 trees, ° The entire crop of the valley aver- ages between 700,000 and 1,000,000 bar-]| "|rels a year and nets the growers any- where from $1,600,000 to $2,600,000 ac- cording to size of crop price, and other conditions.

There is na RAL no immediate link with the previous vxérse, but the thought is not far away, as the return to it in verse 10 shows. Selfishness is the "sowing to the flesh." God is not mocked--This ig the converse of such Old Testament conceptions as Psa. 87. 18, representing Jehovah as deriding the creatures of a day who dare to defy him, The New Testa- ment would never say this, but it can picture man deriding or (Rom. 2. 4) despising the patience which man's | folly mistakes. for importance.

If Evangeline could only return to earth today and time her visit for the first week in June, what a new and strange vision of loviness she would behold.

Late Governor of Cameroons Told Wild Stories of Victories. The following extracts from a tele- gram addressed by Dr. Ebermaier, the late Governor of the Cameroons, to the German district authorities of the Protectorate after the surrender of Duala to the allied forces on Sept. 27, 1914, are instructive. The doctor authorizes his subordi- nates to say: The Kaiser Has first taken the coun- try which inflicted horrors on the natives, namely, Belgium, to which the Congo belongs. - We have ' occupied the whole country and driven out the King. Then the Kaiser has sent his sol- diers deep into France and is .bBom- barding the largest French city, where the Governor of the French lives. The French have no longer a Kaiser. The Kaiser has captured General Kitchener, whom the English regard- ed as their best commander, together with 10,000 soldiers. Kitchener was indeed the worst enemy of the Mo- hammedan blacks, and took a: whole country from the Great Sultan. So many English ships have been' destroyed that the English have now no more than we have, The English were not strong enough. to take Duala, but had to call in the help of the French. We have, more-. over, only surfendered Duala because there weré so many white women and: children there, to whom, according to" the law of the whites, nothing' can: happen if no fighting takes place in' iy black soldiers.of the English French have already deserted , and, coma to us to 'fight on our, --. because they senthat ' we! are stronger.
