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.
This year is espe-ially important,
according to Professor O. M. Morris,

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.'"

11 Restoring The Grand Canal
China is reported to be considering
i the restoration of the old canal sys
6 torn, of which there were at one time
f 60,000 miles within the empire. 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.

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. Of the other original set-
