EARTH ON FRINGE The earth is probably hr the fring: e3 of this cloud. But it is certain that if you look at night ip the dir. ection 'of the Milky Way you. are gazing through the cloud and the stars you séo are slightly dimmed because of it, : The Milky Way itself is watch. shaped, a huge spiral of stars, The, cloud is believed to be watch-shap. ed also, but smaller, like a watch lying within the Milky Way, The ' earth is known to lie about one: third of the distance out from cen. tre toward the rim of the Milky Way "watch," That is why it lies. also in or along the edge of the iu- terlor *'watch" that "forms the cloud, iy 6 TRILLION MILES THICK. Dr. Roscoe Stanford, Mt. Wilson astronomer, has pleced together a picture of this cloud, using facts ga- thered by many experts in thous. 'ands of astronomical observations. He estimates the cloud.to be 6,000 - million milllon miles thick. Its lengih or. diameter is unknown but presumably is a large pat of the 600,000 million million miles dist- anco from one edge of the Milky Way to the other.

GOLDEN TEXT.--And they shall "beat their swords into plowshares, and their 'spears into' pruning: hooks; nation shall not. lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war' any more, Mic. 4:3, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--During the refgn of Hezekiah, probably between 720 and 701 B.C. ; * Place.--Micah's ministry was entirely within the territory of Judah, and for the most part in the city of Jerusalem. This lesson is especially" inter- esting because the people around whom this whole chapter gathers are the most talked-of, the most hated, people presenting the most difficult problems of all the races in the world today. No one has suffered in modern times as the Jews have suffered, at the hands of other nations; and here is not only a prophecy of such suffer. ing, but a passage of wonderful hope, promising a time when these sufferings will be over, and a per- fod when these people will come back to God and have a kingdom, in which joy and peace | will abound, . The name Micah was not an uncommon one among the He- brews; it means "Who is like Je- hovah?" Micah « was a simple countryman, born_of obscure par entage in an otherwise unknown village. Micah, "as his prophecy shows, was in' closest! touch and sympathy with the class of yen- ically describes. Promise of the Kingdom In the "first three chapters, Micah's chief moral denunciations are reserved for the wealthy nob- les and worldly priests -- the greedy ----aristocrats who coveted fieids and' houses and took them by force, who oppressed widows and broke up happy homes. Com- mercialism and materialism weve supplanting almost the last vestige of 'the ethical and the spiritual in Jerusalem. At such a crisis Mi- cah appeared, and attempted to call the nation back to God and to duty. -- 4: 1, But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the -moun- tain of Jehovah's house shall bi established. on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto'it."'2. And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go ap to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of thé God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk. go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem: 3. and he 'will judge between many peoples, and will decide concern: ing strong nations far off: and they shall beat their swords inio plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neith- er shall they learn war any more. 4, 'But they shall sit every man under *his vine and under his fig-- tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of . hosts hath spoken it, The ~mountain-of the house of Jehovah is the temple mountain, Moriah, here considered "as part of Zion. -Zion is the source of the law and word of-the Lord, from which the nations draw instruction how to walk in the ways ¢f God, to make it their own, take it to their homes, and walk according to it. Every Man Under God 5. For all 'the peoples walk ev- ery one in the name of his god; _and we will walk in the name'of Jehovah 'our 'God for ever and ever..A man's god is what rules * his. practical life; it is that which shapes and orders our lives.

Farm Notes . . . To Te Pests From The Farm Crows are ¢eafty creatures and by experience they associate a scarecrow with the presence of some tempting forbidden fruit, Crows are long-lived and con- sequently have long memories. Pests far worse than crows prey upon the farmer's crops, re- marks B. Leslie Emslie, chemist. agronomist. Crows may be seen and heard, shot at or shoo'd away, though perhaps not to stay, while these other pests ave invisible mi- cro-organisms wh o sc "ravages, however, can be plainly seen by harvest time. =~ : Invisible Enemies J Many of these microscopic pests ave fungi, some of which may in fest the soil, but most of them are carried on the sced itself -- for instancé, scab and rhizoctonia of potatoes, seed rot or corn, bunt or stinking smut of wheat, the smuts of oats, severed smut and stripe of barley, root and stem rots of cercals, peas, beans and other crops. Science has done much for ag- ricalture, and one of the latest and greatest achievements is the discovery that certain organic compounds of mercury will con- trol these sced-borne diseases - without injury to the seed itself when applied in the small doses prescribed. Indeed, by destroying the fungi the treatment improves _ the germinating vigour of the seed =, and consequently increases yields. Control Secd-Borne Diseases Years of most careful, pain- staking research and trial reveal- ed that there is a specific organ mercury compound for each of several classes of crops. Fortun- ately, a little goes a.long way, sa the cost of treatment is. trifling, only a few cents an acre. The seeds of cereals, for instance, are treated effectively with the ethyl mercury phosphate dust at the rate of only onc-half ounce per. bushel, and the seed grain may, be treated from 24 hours to three - months before planting, az may be convenient, For seed corn there is another organic mercury dust and a_dii- ferent one for veegtable seeds, while for potatces a wet dip treat- 'ment is used. For the control of seceding "damping-off" a dilute solution of the organic mercury specific for vegetables may be prepared and applied to the sotl ~ with a watering can or in a finer spray.
