Stearns. 1n the two portions assigned for this lesson we have the record of David's second and third anointings over Judah and over all Israel (Ii. 4; v, Lesson Vlll.â€"Second .Ouarter, . For May_23,1915. - 3). the first anointing being at the hands of Samuel (1 Sam. xvi, 13). As all anointings are suggestive of the work of the Holy Spirit and of Him whom God anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power (Acts x. 38). who also anoints and seals the believer with the Holy Spirit (11 Cor.'i, 21. 22). we will turn for a few minutes to the 01‘ other lesson for today in I Cor. xii. 1-13 to notice that no one can say that Jesus is the 'Lord. but by the Holy . Spirit, and that by the same Spiriti each believer receives gifts for service as the Spirit sees fit; to every man ac- cording to his several ability. to every man his work (Matt. xxv. 15; Marl; ~ xiii, 34). As our Lord Jesus Christ. the I son of David. is waiting for His king. dom, when He will occupy the throne of David. so all true believers. anointed kings and priests. associates of Him: who shall be a priest upon His throne. l l l J 1 l 1 1 4 the true Melchizedek, are waiting with Him and for Him. He at the Father‘s . right hand and we in the conflict here . (Luke i. 32. 33; Rev. i. 5. 6; Zech. vi, 13; 3 Gen. xiv. 18; Ps. ex. 1. 4). While-we" wait it is our privilege to suffer with l Him and to serve Him in any way or ; place which He may assign to us. l knowing that the glory of His king-l dom will abundantly recompense for all suffering or service during the little 3 while of waiting. Returning to ourl lesson in Samuel. wenote that. though } Saul was dead. the rule over all Israel did not come to David at once. but in Hebron over Judah for seven years; and then in Jerusalem over all Israel} and Judah for thirty-three years (chap ter v. 5). We may find an analogy in the com- ing of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ when all the kingdoms of this world shall have become His (Rev. xi, 15). and we may then see more vleariy the significance of David's three anoint- iugs. ' We cannot help noting David’s la- mentation over Saul and Jonathan. with its thrice repeated "How are the mighty fallen!“ (ll Sam. i. 19. 25. 27). How he could say that Saul and Jonao than were lovely and pleasant in their lives I do not know unless on the same principle that God did not see iniquity in Jacob nor perverseness in Israel (Nam. xxiii. 21). grace covering up the \vron". We can more easily under- stand how David cowld say of Jona- than. "Thy love to me was wonderful. passing the love of women" (i. 26). and that leads us to the greatest love that was ever seen or knownâ€"the love of God in Christ Jesus to sinners (Rom. v. S; John iii. 11;; I John iii. 16; iv. 10). See David's habit of inquiring of the Lord concerning guidance in all matters of the kingdom (ii. 1; v, 1:). 23; also 1 Sam. xxiii. 2, 4; xxx, Si. remind- ing us of some of the good advice of his son. Solomon. "In all thy ways ac- knowledge Him. and He shall direct thy paths" (Prov. iii, (3). A. _L A.-- I-2.‘.- INTERNATIONAL SERIES. The census and statistics office issued last week, in the. iorm of a press bulletin, .the first 'crop re- port of the present season. It deals with the area. and condition of the fall wheat crop, the candl- tion of hay and clover meagows, at the close of the winter and the progress of springfiseeding up to the end of April. AREA AND CONDITION OF FALL WHEAT. "Owing to the mild winter and, the favorable conditions which prevailed during the critical months of March and April, the fall wheat crop is reported as beâ€" ing exceptionally good on April 30. In Ontario, where 1,043,000 acres were sown as estimated last fall, not more than 6.8 per cent. 18 reported as winter killed. In Al- berta, with 230,000 acres estimated as sown, the prOportion winter killed is only 6.2 per cent. These nroportions are lower than in any vear since 1908-9 for Ontario, and lower than on any prekus year- on record for Alberta. \Last year the percentage'winter killed was {19 in Ontario and 15.6 in Alberta. [In Ontario the winter killed this year amounts to 71,000 acres and in Alberta to 14,300 acres. These figures, deducted from the areas isown, leave 972,000 acres in On- |tario and 215,700 acres in Alberta {as the areas under fall wheat to the harvested. With 10,900 acres in 3Manitoba. 4.100 acres in Saskatch- iewrm, and 6,000 acres in British iColumbia. the total area under ifall wheat to be harvested this ivear amounts to 1308.700 acres. asi .compared with 973.300 acres. the; garea harvested in 1914.. Whilst. itherefore, as previously reported 1the area sown to wheat last fall ‘was 9 ner cent. ‘more than the area sown in the fall of 1913 the :'ncreased area to be harvested. lowing to the small area winter killed, amounts to '24 ner cent. Not less satisfactory is the gen- eral condition on April 30. which measured by the standard of 100. as representing a full crop. is 93 in Ontario. as compare-l with 81 last year, and 83 in Alberta, as' compared with 87. For Ontario the figure is higher than in any year since 1910, when 9515 was recorded For Alberta, this year’s condition1 was only exceeded last year ard in 1911. The condition for the whole of Canada on April 30 was 91 which, converted into a stand- ard of 100 as representing the average condition at the same period for the six years 1909-14. inâ€" dicates a condition of 112, or an anticipated yield per acre of 12 per cent. in excess of the average, provided that conditions between now and harvest time are not abnormal. , As in the case of wheat, the amount of winter killing proved to be unusually small, not more than 10 per cent. being the esti- mate for all Canada as compared with 14 per cent. last year and 22 per cent. in 1913. The average condition was 91 per cent. 01' the standard or full crop, as com- pared Wi‘Lh 86.7 per cent. last year on May 6, 89.6 per cent. in 1913 and 24.6 per cent. in 1912, It is as yet too soon to report] on the Maritime proxinccs, out] excellent progress in the seedlng‘ or spring grains is reporteu iroin all the other six provinces. .L'he spring iSIearly, and as a general? rule the conditions for seeding? have been most favorable. Aooutl double the amount or seeuing was accomplished this year on Aplil 30 that was completed on May 6 in 1914. Of spring wheat 55 per cent. of the total was finished in Que- bec, as against 5 per cent. last year; in Untario 73 per cent. as against 24 per cent; in the three western provinces 93 per cent was completed in Manitoba, 94 per cent. in Saskatchewan and 91 per cent in Alberta, these prepor- tio‘ns being higher than in any 'vear since 1910. In British Colum- bia the percentage is 89 For all six provinces the preportion of seeding as reported as effected on April 30 was 84 per cent - for lwheat, 45 per cent for oats, 38 per cent. for barley and 63 per cent for all crops.

McCuaig, Teacher: HONOR ROLL FOR APRIL 1915 CROP REPORT I é? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I It is 'time for progressive farmers. especially those with small places near tow'n. to get. ready for- money making with fruits. These products properly belong in any thorough system of mix. ed farming, and phey can be made to pay $200 to $400 an acre net. Small fruit growing is peculiarly adapted to those having large fami- lies. Smallfruits well planted in per. fectly straight rows and kept well cul- tivated make a most pleasing picture as well as a profitable crop. A fruit garden connected with any home can be made an attractive object. From a commercial standpoint for the beginner there is no crop that will roll back the corners of a mortgage! quicker than the strawberry bed if enough be planted so that the whole family and the neighbors can be em- ployed. especially in picking time. Fit the ground early in April the same as for corn. Mark one way as for corn; then set the plants about sixteen inch- . es apart and cultivate as for corn and ~ hoe Whenever there is a sign of weeds or crusty soil. It takes about 7,000 plants per acre when set as directed. '- When the blossoms appear the first? summer pinch them off. Do not try to secure fruit from the plants until the _ second season. *.- d‘ 4â€"... woownwnnâ€"«woo «”4 As cold weather comes on be ready to give the strawberry field a thorough mulching. If it is done too early the plants will be smothered and hurt. It is not applied altogether as a winter protection. for strawberries are defi- ant of cold. It is the mulch that equal- izcs alternate freczings and thawings, which upheave the plants. The material to use in covering the beds or rows of plants is anything in the way of coarse vegetation that is free from wood seeds. Clean straw and coarse grass are of this character. but there may he weeds in the straw or grass. Timothy hay is always trou- lesome because of the seed it con- ains, and coarse manure that: has any considerable proportion of timothy is objectionable on that account. Marsh grass or eattail flags are free from anything that is troublesome. The ref- use from sorghum mills can he used with good results. It lies close to the ground and if not put on too thickly will serve the purpose of keeping the strawberry plants from feeling the Violent changes of winter. retain the moisture in the soil and keep the her- ries clean the following summer. Corn~ stalks, pine needles. tanhark and cot- tonseed hulls can be utilized in this way. There is a growing market for gooseâ€" berries and a bright future for all that will be raised. This fruit does best on a good sandy loam. ' Plants should be set six by eight feet, thus requiring 1,210 plants per acre. The first sea- son potatoes. beans or any low grow- ing crop may be planted between the rows. Give thorrmgh but shallow enl- tivation. As to varieties, the Downing gives best satisfaction. Bay only ex- tra good year old plants. Profits are fully as good and often better than with strawberries; They should bear some fruit the second year from plant- mg. Blackberries are profitable if rust does not attck the canes. There seems to he no cure for rust. Set the plants 4 by 6 and give deep cultuie. We pre- fer the Kittatinny, as they seem more hardy than otheis. Blackberries do best 011 a lightlsh and rather sandy soil. They must be planted in rows and kept well cultiv.ated The prun- in" of the blackberry is difle1ent from that of most other small fruits. If. you cut back the canes severely you are likely to remove a large portion of the season's crop. But sou can thin out the shoots where they are numer. 0113 and cut out the dead shoots. ' Red and black raspberries should be set 6 by G. which will require 1,210 Plants per acre. These plants must have shallow culture. as their roots are all near the surface. Many fine plantations are almostruined by deep culture. The crop is profitable when hicked on time and neatly marketed. A grower can pay for his land in a sin- gle season with a good crop of berries. v Currants are easy to grow and mar- ket. They pay at the rate of $300 to $500 an acre. The average price should be $3 per bushel, and 100 bushels to the acre is ‘ only a fair crop. Each currant hush ought to pay 25 to 50.‘ cents above the cost of picking. -_..« STRAWBERBIIE IN CRATES.
