Farm Accounting © Huron Bm irs To Keep Accounts of Production Costs A, despatch trom Woodstock, of the amazement expressed by - members of the Oxford county council at the decision of 1,007 Huron farmers, to keep books on the cost of production of hogs; poultry, soya beafls, white beans and other products bver a fve- year. period, The Oxford solons declared that the rule in their part of the coun: try is to work from five in the morning until seven at night, waft for the harvest, and hope to be able to meet their obligations. They brand the theory of paying themselves wages and setting up einking funds for depreciation as There- can be little doubt -that-- the more or less humorous view of the Oxford County fathers is an accurate reflection of conditions in Western Ontario. No doubt that is one of the reasons for the con- fusion existing about farm condl- tions, At present most farmers have to keep their noses so close- ly to the grindstone that they 'have not the time for what most business men regard as essential ~the keeping of accurate records of costs and returns. As long as this condition persists there is iit tle hope for improvement, or even for a reasonable approach to an' understanding of the problem, The fault is obviously not that of the farmers themselevs, but of the system under which they work. The Huron experiment is doubly. valuable becaust it is unusual, Many departutes from accepted return for their labors that the Muffs were ,carried by both men and women in the 17th sen- 0) fury in" England. ~~ moc LI «QUT A (0) 0 2M LESSON 18 SUNDAY: THE DAY OF ACCLAIM Mark 11:1.11;.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. ~~ The triumphal entry was on Sunday, April 2, A.D. 80. Place. ----- 1 he triumphal ® entry occurred onthe western slope of Mount of Olives, : " x On The Mount 3 1(a), "And when they draw night unto Jerusalem, unto Beth- phage and Bethany, at the Mount | of Olives." Our-Lord had rested in Bethany over the Sabbath day, and was now about to begin the last week of His life on earth, the days of which would be spent in Jerusalem, the nights in Beth- any. ) 1(b). "He sendeth two of his disciples. 2. and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straight. way as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him and bring him, 3. And if anyone say unto you, why do you this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither." The Lord knew that a great prophecy was about to be fulfilled, and he knew that it was divinely ordered that he was to enter the city on this particular day on a new colt upon which no man had ever ridden. 'The Lord hath need of him' is in the auto~ cratic tone of one who has abso- lute power over us and ours. He does not _expect us to say one contrary word when He sends and says, 'I have need of you, or of yours.' : » Jesus Is Trusted 4. "And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door] with- out in the open street; and they loose him. 6. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, what do ye, loosing the colt? 6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go." According to Luke, these people whom the dis- ciples found nearby were the. owners. That they were satisfied with the answer 'The Lord hath need" of him' need cause no sur- prise; the Master was well known in the neighborhood. The promise to return the animal at once could be trusted; and the owners might well be proud that it should be used by the Prophet. Symbol of Joy T. "And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him. 8. And many spread their gar- ments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields." The carrying of palm leaves by the people in honor of the Messiah was in a cordance with the custom observe at feasts and great occasions. The palms symbolize His triumph and the people's joy. - Hosanna 9. "And they that went be- fore, and they that followed," cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: "10. Blessed is the kingdom that - cometh, the kingdom of our father!' David: Hosanna in the highest." The word 'Hosanna' was really a prayer meaning 'save now.' Prob- ably here it is the prayer of the people that the expected salvation may be accomplished now. The phrase 'the coming kingdom' represents it as already on the way. It.is represented as the kingdom of David, because the promise of it was made to him as a man of God's own word (2 Samuel: 7,. 41, "And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it." Jesus was full of grief as he des- cended the Mount of Olives and saw stretched beneath hi et the city so near its destructio}, and yet so unconscious of ifs _ doom and He wept, ; 42, "Saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou,. the "things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass theé round, and keep _ thee in on every side, 44, and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knew- est not the time of thy visitation." 'In this thy day,'Jerusalem had a' day, Every community and every person has a day<a day of mercy. If in that day the lost shall turn, they will get life in the Lord. But if they allow their day to pass, there remaineth only darkness, Looking down on Jeru- -. salem the ground of our Lord's grief was, -not that they had sinned, and so brought on theni: solves condemnation, In that there was nothing peculiar to Jerusalem, Here they were in the same state as all the world, The Redeemer would not weep be- I -- bE BN Ta i.

What makes him weep is that they will not accept it at his hands, 11, "And he entered into Jeru- salem, into the temple; and when he had looked 'round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve." No particular ac- tivity occurred in the city of Jerusalem on this day. It scems it was merely a time of inspection and at eventide our Lord 'went back to Bethany.

To encourage enlarged soybean production, the government has authorized the Canadian Wheat Board to buy soybeans at. $1.95 a bushel, basis Toronto?" In past years, the price has vanged from b6e to $1 a bushel. Officials said the increased pro- duction is urgently needed to compensate for losses in normally imported vegetable oil supplies because of war in the Far East. Canada and the United States have entered into a joint program of increasing such vegetable oil production as is possible, although the major part of the Canadian program will--be the growing of coarse grains to facilitate an en- larged output of animal fats, Soybean seed supplies are none too plentiful in Canada and of- ficials said this might prove a limiting factor on the acreage. "Although Canadian soybean production is small compared to that of the United States, it is notable that Ontario growers have won the top soybean awards at the Chicago Internptional Grain Show for several years," one spokesman said. All Over Ontario "Soybeans have been grown all over Ontario, as far east as Ot- tawa, and in Southern Quebec. There has been some production "in irrigaled areas in Alberta and in British Columbia." Officials said that farmers pro- posing to switch to soybean pro- duction in suitable arcas should be able to use their existing equipment in handling the new - Crop. Soybeans, imported from Man- churia, were first grown in Can- ada at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in 1895.
