Y., Poultry liaise Hk Remarkable Success With Poultry E. V. THOMPSON "I huve made a hulf million dol lure ruining chickens and any mun of oidinary intelligence, perseverance and business ability can do the same!" So says E. V. Thompson of Amenia, N. Y., attending the annual conven tion of the American Poultry associ ation at Clovelund, 0. He has been a chicken raiser 45 years. Ho started in business with two ducks whon he was nine yoars old. His barred rocks have taken first prizes at every poultry show at Madison Square Gar den, New York, for 28 years. Some of them have brought as high as $1000 apiece. Thompson is past president of the American Poultry association, and keeps about 4000 barred rocks on his 17-acre furm at Amenia. Ho says his motto is: "Honest sales, honest ad vertising and hard work." Many "Spuds" Inferior The cold, late spring and much poor seed has produced a poor stand of po tatoes in many localities this season. There is also a great variation in the size and state of maturity of the plunts. This condition will probably modify the grade of potatoes produced H3 well as the yield per acre. The development of the potato de ponds upon the growth of the plant ami its well Being a tier it attains full size. The plant is almost full grown before any tubers are produced. After the plant has grown to full size which is usually indicated by the an pcarance of the blossoms, the tubers increaso in size very rapidly il the sou is moist and fertile. If the plant is at tacked by disease or the land is cov ered with weeds and grass, tho growth of tha potatoes will be hindered or prevented. The second growth of potatoes re sulting in what are called "knobby po tatoes" or "cripples" are nearly all dun to tho fluctuating moisture sup ply in the soil and the resulting change from slow to rapid growth.

Clear Vision On The Heights I recall attending a conference where vounir men were being advised Iby an old and godly returned mission ary concerning making decisions for "o- Himinst tho field of foreign missions 4 Ho said: "Make your decisions on the r I mountain of your clearest spiritual t J vision. That is the surest way to know vat hat you are following the call of God. ". JYou can never expect to see your duty jvjvidly, or have the power to decide upon it, when you are surrounded with Vall the conflicting voices of tho world. 3ecisions like this are calls from God, f auml not from men." iJ Such was evidently Paul's view, as 1 'lie left even tho circle of apostles to s.vgo off into the wastes of Arabia to j'ifmwke his decisions in the presence of J-God alone. In another place he says, F "Sin revived and I died.'" J One needs pure air to breathe if he V- Is to enrich his spiritual power. There are some things that neither llesh nor blood can reveal to us, things t that grow bright only in the pre f senco of God himself.

Ccn- tunes before the Christian era the great rivers of China wore diverted jt from their natural courses, the waters f '-of one turned into another's bed, and f the waterways carried along in the 4f direction of the desired traffic. The ancient Grand Canal extends from lllangchou to Tientsin, traversing the fprovinces of Chekinng, Kinngsu, f'Phatigtung and Chili, the total length of the canal being about 850 miles. fcChina is in desparate need of trans 4 portation, and it has been estimated ffiby engineers that the canal system nn be restored at a less cost uu that which would be involved in the WWii rt tb nwnssarv railways. hvith tVio rnnnls nirain in onemtion the frailway building can go on at greater ileisrare.

' i OLD FRENCH-CANADIAN SETTLEMENT HERE HISTORIC A large part of the country along Catherine creek above Union and a portion of High Valley was originally populated by a colony of Canadian French people. There were hpt-.wAan fifty and seventy.five families of these people at one time along about 1880 and now there are but about four of the original families left. They are Peter Goyette, Henry Moyette, Ar thur Celia and "Frenchy" Taylor. All these are old men, approaching eigh- ty years.
