WRITES TO FRIENDS
^ .
Lockbox 401, El Dorado, Kansas
Juna 3, 1024.
Our many friends in Brevard will
be glad to know and hear that the
Lord continues to bless our labors,
and that we are well and happy in
the work. Our second son and his
wife had to drop out of the party
for a time, and they reside in Dear
born, Mich., and have a fine son,
born April 8th. Our eldest son has
been studying in a Bible School
the past year, and will rejoin our
party before this letter reaches Bre
vard. Wife cnotinues with me in
the work. <>
Our first meeting aftef leaving i
Brevard was in Windsor Canada,
the next in Morocco, Ind., then one
in Rensselaer, Ind., then over into
Illinois for a second campaign in
Springfield, then back to Toledo,
Ohio, and west again to Burlington,
Iowa. This is our fourth week %?re
and we are having ft. wonderful re
vival.
Our wdrk this year is all in buildr
ings, mostly in lar^e tabernacles,
and we ehall probably have no use
for our tent, which is stored in j
Brevard and we wish to sell it, !
preferably to some one who will use
it for gospel meetings. Should like
to hear from any such.
We earnestly request all our
friends to pray for us, and wish the
readers of this paper every blessing
from God. ?
Yours in the King's Business,
? r P. C. Nelsqn.
BEANS AND BUGS
Just now more people' are inter- 1
ested in the bean beetle, than any
other question. There is no quick
or easy way out. One local man
says the easiest way to get them off
mt the beans ia to pull up the beatus
and shake the bugs off. Another
suggests plowing them under.
Poisons will kill, if you can put a
quanity where the bugs eat. That
means to bed the plants over and
dust or have an extension rod long
enough so you can turn the nozzle
aomwhat upward, so as to throw
spray under the leaves.
A general fog of dust around the
beans does not leave enough on the
undersides of the leaves to kill.
Paris green, arsenate of lead, And
calcium arsenate will kill the beetle
as well as any other buga or worms,
prepared ag follows:
Paris green for dusting through
cloth, one pound to one bu. slacked
lime powder not shaken down. Air
slacked or water slacked, or build
ers lime will do.
For use in dust gun one pound to
nine pounds of the same lime. The
gun uses so much less, that it must
be much stronger.
For liquid spray, two teaspoons
to each gallon of water, and add a
1 small handful of lime to each gal_
Ion to help prevent burning.
CAUTION: Fresh cold water
from the spring, sprayed on plants
during heat of day will burn leaves.
Set in sun to warm some before
using.
Calcium arsenate is used as paris
green, and is cheaper.
Arsenate of lead is used as above
except half a? much more is needed
| to do 'a good job of killing. Arsen
ate of lead is the best to not wa-.i
off during rains.
If a bug gets some dope, but not
enough to kill him the first time, he
then become* more or less immune
to poison, and grows fat.
Some are afraid to dust or spray,
less they get poison on their beans
and kill some of the family. There
is no danger If beans are washed
well before cooking.
Do your best to Idll all this first
coming of adult beetles, and pick
their eggs off. This done and later
work will be materially reduced.
L. A. Amnion, County Agent.

THE PRAYER CORNER
June is here, and she has a sweet
message for all who will receive it. ? ?
A message from a mystic land, a
realm of roses, pore and fair whegre
all day long new joya unfold and
happy winds blow fresh and free.
The summer tide ia born; we have (
left behind the May, and butterflies. ' /
and birds and bees begin the roun
delay of June, quaint queenly June
with roses crowned, the rose of all
the garden of the year.
She has a message: listen well!
ft message for each one who hears;
for me and mine, for you and yours.
It is this, behind the rosea hid, I
smile and smile the live locj? day.;
I breathe in every rose breath, and
sing in every birda glad throat and "
make the earth look fresh, and K*y;
but back of me she says, a higher
power has showered gifts of love
on me; the heart of June beats lar
ge and warm, above the wind, above,
the storm and silvrey streams and
rivers run and sing Sis praise? His
voice obey. The Rose of Sharon ia
His name, and I, said June, have
come to bed the Earth, look np to
Him, take heart anew? and, like "the
rose, exalt His fragrance till it rise
in Incense to the Threne above.
June you know, comes from Ja
nus, the name of * Roman gens or r
clan. Thus June, in olden days,
would tell of delated life, and the
related' life is lost what we are learn
ing so much about 1n modern' days.
This is just what the Christian Fai
th, the Faith of Him who is "The
Rose of Sharon" teaches us foe all
days-"No man liveth unto himself"
for we are members, oneof another v
and our head is Jesus: "The Rose of
Sharon."
A Prayer For Juno
June onte again is sitting with us
while Earth spreads her feast of
Thanksgiving. Dear Lord kg* full
of Thee it should be to opff ?oolsl
O grant to us to taste tth? bread
and wine, and find in them mem
orials of Thee, types of that life
that does not fade. K<|ep us to use
all Thy gifts aright, that we do qot
lose or 'lessen aught of the loveii- '
ness Thou sendest continually in
every season even though we reach
it through tears. Look with tender
compassion upon those whose lives. . V
know not either .spring or summer, 1
who sit amid decay, and hear, , only
the blast that chills, see only dese- ,
lation and free 4esPa'r. O make H -
possible for" those with fuller
to minister to such, .the sweet fcttn
_ man ministry, that is ever Earths
best type of Thee.
But if we would share-, we must
first owi, and own abundantly, Thy
life within us-this is the June we
ask for, this is the summer we pray
may abide in our souls.
O Father, prove Thy power upon
us, help us to make in tile world a- ..
bout us, not only a season fragrant <
with bloom, and light and warmth
but a love that tells its own story of
Thee and reveals Thy prescence a*
a controlling force in our lives, lift
ing: us and helping us to lift others;
to the larger life that it enfolds,
and all' we ask is in Thy name of
Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
