Will you kindly explain rotation of crops? 2. When a farm * /is over run with thistles and burdocks what is the best plan to get rid of them? Re Answer:--1. Rotation means simply the planting of crops in definite order. There are various types farm crops... For instance, the grain crop is"cut when it is ripe and the seed is harvested. The root- ing system of grain speaking general- " of crops '4g ly, is shallow. The fact that the pro- "=. duct of the crop is grain means that the largest amount of phosphoric acid (plant ripener) is removed by grain INTERNATIONAL LESSON JULY 28. Lesson 1V. Christian Obedience Matt. 4, 18-22; John 14. 22-24. Golden Text, John 1. 15. Matt, 4. 18-22, ~ Verse 18, Walking by the sea of Galilee--We have already, in the ptudies in Mark, visited the Sea of Galilee and spent some time with the Master in the midst of his wonderful works by the shores of this noted lake. They were fishers--This. industry must have been pursued by many, for the lake shore was lined with populous The modern Arab cares ustry necessary for success in this line. 19.

Nhesitated the yields of root crops. Some of this | plantioo will not haye been used up by or othef root crops,and the small grains following these crops will benefit materially from this reserve of plantfood. The fact that the soil has been so thoroughly stirred by cultivas tion of thé root crops and by their harvesting, is also a great benefit in preparing the soil for the grain crop The clover and grass seed is usually sown with the grain crop. This brings us back, the next season, to. the grass and clover and, completes the three years cycle of the rotation which is first grass and clover, second hoed crops, third, grain crops seeded to grass and clover. Any oné of these three year periods can be expanded by repeating' the same crop and & longer cycle can this be made, 2. The best method of getting rid of 'thistles and burdocks is'by growing cultivated crops such as potatoes, mangels, turnips on the areas where these weeds are most found. Con- tinuous cultivating will weaken and destroy these weeds quickly. ¥ the import of this.

The latter are easting a net; the former are mending their nets, in company - with their father. The «ent that they lefi their father tells us a4 whole story--that now the burden of all the work must fall upon the father, bereft -of his BE song. Peter was married and ith wife lived in Capernaum. In oining the little company of the ve to wander over the land in loyal obedience to the call of the Mas- ter he must leave his wife behind, in the tompany of his mother-in-law. What must it have meant for the im- pulsive and affectionate Peter to turn away from his little home to follow the Master, whose wonderful sum- mons had eaptured his heart? We have no knowledge of Andrew's domestic life save that he was a broth- er of Peter, bound by ties of affection to his home and to the glorious lake.
