Dropping Fruit On the Ground
and Sp aying For Rot,
A Franklin County fruit grower
wrote to State Zoologist H. A. Sur-
face, Harrisburg, saving, +1 "have
just finished thinning apples and have
as many as one to six bushels of apples
under one tree. Four years ago I
heard you say ‘thin them in order to
increase the growth of the remainder’
and let them drop on the ground.’
Would you advise letting them rot
there or what would you do? Also, |.
do you advise spraying peach trees
for rot? When should it be done and
what should be used?’
To these important and timely hor-
ticultural inquiries Professor Surface
replied as follows: Whether I would
let apples that were thinned from the
trees drop on the ground and remain
to rob there. or whether I would re-
move them depends upon whether
they are diseased or infected at the
time they were thinned from the
trees. If they have Curculio larvae
or Codling moth larvae or Black rot
germs in them, or any other definate
diseases showing, I would certainly
gather them and destroy them. If
they are shriveled and acting like
healthy apples pulled from a tree and
undergoing the natural process of de-
cay, not hastened by contagious dis-
eases that attack fruit of trees, I re-
commend letting them remain there.
However, there is another point to
consider and that is, thata few apples
fed daily fo pigs, even though the
fruit is green, are valuable, and will
prove worth the effort of gathering
them for this purpose. There is no
better way of destroying the insects
and disease germs than by feeding
them to pigs. Therefore, what I re-
. commend is to be sure togather them
and feed them ii they have insects or
diseases in them, and it would be bet-
ter, under such condition, at the time
of thinning to place them in baskets
and carry them out of the orchard.
Replying to your inquiry asking if I
would recommend spraying peaches
for the rot, I can say that I do not
recommend it unless the rot is com-
mencing to show on the trees. Much
depends upon the condition of the
trees as to open heads, ete. If the
ground is to keep free from weeds, or
if there is plenty of ventilation in the
orchard, and the tops of the trees are
well opened by a proper system of
pruning, there will not be liable to as
much ripe rote as though the trees
were dense and the orchard grown
full of weeds. In my own personal
orcharding I do not spray for rot as
Jt isnot needed, even on such varieties
as the Champion, which it is known
rots badly under some circumstances
and especially in wet seasons. If at
- this time of year I saw evidences of
my’ peaches commencing to go with
ripe rot, I should make up the self-
boiled lime-sulfur solution,using eight
pounds of quicklime and eight pounds
of sulfur in fifty gallons of water, and
spray at once with it. There is no
need of addding arsenate of lead or
other poison.” .

In the
presence of the living, the Navajo is
‘without fear, but his terror of the
dead is abject and unreasoning. The
dead are believed to be possessed
only of malevolent feelings toward the
survivors, with unlimited powers for
‘working evil upon those who careless-
ly place themselves, within the power
of the spirits. So when any one dies,
the only anxiety of the surviving rela-
tives is to get rid of the body as
quickly as possible. If there are any
white men living in the neighborhood,
an effort is made to induce them to

SUNDAY S(TH00L
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute.
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR AUGUST 23
THE WEDDING FEAST.
LESSON TEXT--Matt, 22:1-14.
GOLDEN TEXT—0 Jerusalem, Jeru-
salem, that killeth the prophets, and ston-
est them that are sent unto her how often
would 1 have gathered thy children to-
gether, even as a hen gathereth her own
brood under wings, and ye would not.”
Luke 13:3¢ R. V. .
To catch the full significance of this
parable which is alone recorded by
Matthew we need to be more or less
familiar with the Jewish pride of race
and their feeling of superiority over
all “heathen” or outsiders, and the his-
tory of their treatment of God's rep-
resentatives, the prophets. :
Following upon the parable referred
to in our last lesson the Pharisees per-
ceived that Jesus spake of them and
they sought to arrest him (ch. 21:46).
In this lesson the figure of the king-
dom is changed from a vineyard to a
feast.
Relation to His People.
I. The King's Invitation Relected,
vv. 1-7. The change of figure just re-
ferred to suggests not alone an occa-
sion of festal joy (Luke 14:16), but
also Christ's relation to his people,
which is that of a husband to his wife
Cor. 11:12; Eph. 5:24-32; John 3:29).
These Jewish leaders and their nation
were first to be invited to the mar-
riage. This had been done by the
prophets of old and later by John the
Baptizer. Under this figure of a mar-
riage our Lord speaks of three differ-
ent invitations. The first one was re-
ceived with indifference, but indiffer-
ence never removes responsibility.
The second invitation was received
with hostility. Nothing more fully
reveals the foolishness and hardness
of the human heart than the way in
which men treat the gracious invita.
tions of God's love.
Wonderful indeed is the forbearance
of God. The sin of rejecting the cross,
God's offer of grace, is immeasurably
greater than that incurred by those
Jews who rejected the “Man of Gali-
lee.”
Question of Worthiness.
11. The King’s Invitation Aecepted,
wv. 810. Those invited had judged
themselves “not worthy.” Now go to
the parting of the ways where people
congregate and “gather them in.” Our
worthiness is in that we accept, and if
we reject we are “not worthy.” This
of the time when the Gentiles should
likewise be “partakers of grace.”
Those who finally accepted the
king’s invitation were both good and
bad (v. 10), but the:act of acceptance
was not an assurance of position as
we can see from the last part of the
parable. It is sad to think of the many
servants of the king who have neg-
lected his command thus to go forth
and recruit the banquet feast. Final
ly (v. 10) we read that “the wedding
was filled” Heaven will not be an
empty place, Rev. 7:9-14.
11i. The Unprepared Guest, vv. 11-14.
Every guest was scrutinized by the
king. It was a strange sight to see
one who had neglected to avail him-
self of the garment freely provided in
which to appear on such an occasion.
his robe is symbolical of the robe of
righteousness with which God will
clothe all who accept his invitation,
Isa. 61:10; Rev. 19:7, 8; Eph. 4:24;
Rom. 13:14. For this man to present
himself clothed in his own garment
was to insult the king, so our own
righteousness is as “filthy rags” in his
sight, Isa. 64:6; Phil. 3:9 R. V. When
questioned about this act of insolence
the guest was “speechless.” So like-
wise will all unbelievers stand one
day before the great king.
The Teaching of this parable em-
phasizes our privileges in the king-
dom of God. A full realization of that
kingdom means joy, gladness and per-
fect satisfaction. On a previous occa-
sion Jesus gave up the parable of the
Great Supper which so much resem-
bles this. Both of these parables have
to do with the attitude of men to the
Gospel invitation. There is the further
emphasis upon the nature of the an-
swer of men to this invitation. The
first is that of men who are blind to
the glory and beauty of that which is
offered to them, though their refusal
was not final. Men, still blind, treat
this invitation contemptuously and
turn to their own interests, seeking
satisfaction, while others shamefully
treat the king’s messengers. This
treatment is followed by swift juds-
ment. Once more the invitation and
and a mixed company are gathered,
some with worthy and some with un-
worthy motives.
The Master's final words (v. 14) em-
phasize service and responsibility.
The call was an open, general univer-
sal one. Those chosen were not only
those who came but those who accept-
ed the conditions laid down. The in-
different, or hostile, and these who ag.
cepted unworthily were rejected.
The Golden Text reveals the heart
of the Lord. He deals in sure judg-
ment; still his purpogp and desire is
to protect and to gather the children
gafe from all harm. The doom of the
city was pronouficed upon it as the
result of its refusal to accept this his
laid over all.

Habit, Which May in a Measure

bem a P
Bravery in the face of only possible,
death, as on the battle field, and]
bravery in the face of certain death,
as in the case of g Titanic shipwreck,
are of course two very different
things. The danger of the battle field
is much harder to meet because of
its uncertainty. Men easily summon
courage to meet the inevitable.
It is the fear of the mishaps and
perils of ordinary life—all our dreads,
worriments, anxieties, forebodings,
solicitudes, morbidities, apprehensions
of illness or of poverty—that need
most to be met and overcome. A vast
literature has sprung up within the
last two decades, telling us how to
be forewarned and forearmed against
all real and imaginary evils. :
The gist of that doctrine, boiled
down into two words is: Don't worry.
If you really must worry, then worry
as little as you can. If you find your-
self in sudden peril or emergency, re-
gard the situation calmly and keep
very cool. If you are in imminent,
danger of being run over by a motor
car, preserve your presence of mind,
for motorists assert that it is only
the people who lose their heads who
get run over.
Fxactly how a nervous person, man
or woman, is to preserve the requi-
gite presence of mind in a great and
sudden danger has never been ade-
quately set forth, though many very
entertaining volumes have been writ-
ten to prove the folly of fear,

Good Boy!’
The late Charles H. Britting, pro-
prietor of the New York actors’ res-
taurant knewn as the “Little Hall of
Fame,” took a keen interest in popu-
lar trends and movements of all kinds.
Mr. Britting thought little of sci-
entific management and efficiency en-
gineering. He said one day of an effi-
ciency engineer:
“Blank is a fool, and I thought he'd
go broke. But, by jingo, the fellow
has. deceived me. He has discovered |
a labor-saving device, and his ad-
dress will be Easy street from now
on.”
“Good boy Blank!” said an actor.
“And what labor-saving device has he
discovered?”
“An elderly widow,” Mr. Britting
answered—"“an elderly widow with a
million who has consented to marry
him.”

girl, who hung back as though half
ashamed of being seen with the oth-

ghe was the daughter of the mayor of,

father, ‘the daughter of the mayor

was reported to have been a cham-
pion snuff taker. Her funeral was
most extraordinary. Her wish was
that her coffin should be filled witin
tobacco, the floor of the mortuary
chamber carpeted with it, and the
heir to the property charged to scat-
ter tobacco before the hearse on the
way to the cemetery. 3
