The Christmas Spirit The Kern Park Bible school (Chris tian) in accordac«*« with its custom for the past two years, celebrated the Christmas season by special offering for benevolent work. Besides clothing, provisions, etc., donated by individuals the classes raised $41.14 in cash, $10.00 of which was for the Belgian fund and the remainder for local needs. The Junior Loyal Bereans, a class of young people, raised $24.15.

CARE Of POTTED PLANTS DURING WINTER MONTHS Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis, Ore., Dec. 28.—A compost that suits the requirements of house plants when reDOtted for the winter is made of one measure of loam soil, one-ba If measure of sand, and one measure each of well rotted manure and leaf mold. This formula is recommended by David Masterton, superintendent of tbs Oregon Agricultural College green bouses, who supplies additional infor mation on the winter care of potted plants as follows: “A very prevalent mistake in caring for house plants in winter is to give them an over-eupply of water. As a rule water should be used sparingly so as to admit plenty of air to the soil or the plant will be retarded in its growth instead of benefited. The individual requirements of each species ought to be studied closely. “In this region where tbe air ie quite dense with moisture during tbe winter months, evaporation from the leaves of plants take place slowly. Where there is a <lry atmosphere to be taken into amount as is the case in a heated room in winter, it is advisable to sponge tbe plants or spray with an atomiser fre quently. This not only increased the humidity of the air but keeps open the breathing pores of the plant, which is necessary for normal growth. “A temperature above 60 degrees in tbe house is adverse to the beet devel opment of most plants and it is better to put them in a room which ie of very maierate temperature. In the College greenhouses the winter temperatures are kept at an average of 50 to 60 de grees, an«l even lower for such plants as Cineranas. “If it becomes necessary to use an ins«mticile, a good one can be made with Ivory soap, dissolving one pound of soap in five to seven gallons of warm water. For scale insects a stronger so lution will be required and tbe plants should be rinsed afte ward ia clear water.’*
