DESTROY BOLL WEEVIL

Birds Assist Greatly in HoldingDown Cotton Pest.

Meadowlark Is Vindictive Enemy ofInsect, Hunting for Prey AmongDead Stalka.Never Injurious

to Growing Crops.

Birds of the woods and fields can-not be expected to kill out the bollweevil and prevent Its spread, butthey can, and do, help greatly. Anyhelp that planters and the small cot-ton growers may receive from birdlife will aid In controlling this pest ofthe southern agriculturist.The United States bureau of bio-

logical survey has found that thereare forty-three species of birds thatdevour millions of boll weevils. Theexperts of this bureau have Issued a

bulletin announcing that these birdsare one of the most Important checksupon the spread of the weevil.During the fall migrations of the

swallows, the orchard and the Baltl-more orioles I have watched thesebirds, feeding by the hour on theweevils that are then flying freely,says a writer in the Farm Progress.Some of the birds shot at that timehad as many as thirty-seven weevilsIn their crops, and the cliff swallowsthat were examined averaged nine-teen weevils to the bird. In a week Inave seen at least 15,000 birds passon their fall migration; and thesemust have destroyed millions of thesepests of the cbtton grower.

In Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahomaand Tennessee the black birds can bedepended upon to help the plantergreatly In his flght against the weevil.The crow-blackbird, the red-wingedvariety, the cow-bird and the brewerare fairly common In all these states.Last fall, while I was raking up thecotton stalks and getting tne groundready for fall plowing, hundreds ofblackbirds followed the rake, pickingup every boll weevil that was die-

Prof. W. R. Graham of the Ontarioitatlon says of the flavor, of eggs andsome of tho causes of low-grade eggs:Many of us forget that eggs will ab-sorb odors as readily as milk but, at

the same time, care should be takenIn keeping the storage-room for eggsfree of strong odors. For Instance.

to put eggs alongside onions, tur-

j nips or similar strong-smelling foods,would mean that the eggs would ab-

sorb more or less of these flavors.

Again, the food that a hen con-

sumes very materially affects the fla-

Ing.Some Good Hints.

(By W. H. UNDERWOOD.)The most Important part of thk

handling of a tomato crop Is the pick*ing, sorting and packing. If wiselyand carefully done the results will bevery satisfactory.

In handling my tomato crop I firstgo through the field searching closelyfor all smooth, sound tomatoes just in

the turning stage.that la, with a

Blight shade of redness In color, yetgreen and firm.

I never pick any cracked or disfig-ured tomatoes to ship to market

I place only smooth, uniform specl-mpns In the crate baskets on theirsides, with the blossom ends up, so as

to show to the best advantage.I do not crate anything but No. li

in a No. 1 package and No. 2 qualityin a No. 2 package. Anything inferiorto No. 2 will not pay to crate. By ob-serving this rule I am saved the costof many crates, also the transportationcharges on them, as well as the laborof putting them up and obtaining bet-ter prices for what I ship.When picking for the market I aim

to pick only No. 1 fruit, then whenpacking there is not much No. 2 fruitto pack.By not picking the cracked or disflg-

Lesson(Qy E. O. SELLERS, Director of Eve-

ning Department, The Moody BibleInstitute of Chicago.)

LESSON FOR AUGUST 4.THE WORTH OF THE KINGDOM. .

LESSON TEXT-Matthew 13, 44-53.GOLDEN TEXT."Seek ye first his

kingdom, and his righteousness; and allthese things shall be added unto you."Matthew 6:33.

We have studied some of the prin-ciples that are to obtain in the es-tablishing and the working out of thisnew kingdom Jesus came to found,and the question naturally arises, "Isit of sufficient value for mt> to con-aider or seek to ent9r it, or to possessit?" In our lesson today there is setbefore us four parables (Jesus' favoriteway of teaching) which he gave priv-ately to his disciples and not to themultitude, that ought to answer anysuch questioning in our hearts.The first two have to do with the

great value of the kingdom, the sec-ond its mixed character and final sepa-ration, and the last, the great respon-sibility of those who possess itstruths. In this entire group of par-ables found In the thirteenth chapterof Matthew are four that are for menwho are careful to observe the out-ward development, and four othersthat are for those men of faith whosee beneath the surface the hiddenthings of the kingdom. Those menwho view the kingdom in each par-ticular age as God sees rather thanas man observes.Today's lesson sets fortfi the pur-

chase of things of great value, the ac-

quisition and disposition of thingb ofa mixed value, and lastly, the use ci jtbeso values after coming into tbe pos-session of them.

I. The hidden treasure, v. 44. Per-haps more properly this should hetermed the parable of the bought field.We need* to remember that In all ofthese parables the Master himself Isthe important peisonage. He Is theone who sows the seed, etc. Hencewe understand that he Is the onewho discovers this great treasure hid-den In the field. He has already toldus that "the field 1b the world" (Matt13:38).

Symbolism of Pearls.II. The pearl of great price, vs. 45,

4fl This rmrahlfl is verv much thesame as the foregoing, yet it adds greatstrength and force to this study invalues. We ought to be very clear inour study and application. The pearlof great price may perhaps be takenas a symbol of our salvation, but ifso for us to interpret the merchant-man as the commonality of man wouldbe for the sinner to purchase his own

salvation, a thing as far as possiblefor the New Testament teaching.Why does Jesus speak of pearls to

tne Hebrews who did not esteem themat all? What is the symbolism of a

pearl? The pearl is the one preciousstone that 'is the result of a livingorganism; it is the result of an injurydone to the life of the oyster. It hasalways stood for purity and for in-Tinronrfi Ts it then illoeical for US toassume that Christ is the merchant-man who gave all to redeem (e. g.,buy back) the lost souls of mankind?Let us turn to Paul's words, remem-

bering the washing process, the pain-ful process of developing pearls andthe ultimate beauty and value of thisthe pearl of great price. "Christ alsoloved the church, and gave himselffor It; that he might sanctify It, hav-ing cleansed It by the washing ofwater with the Word, that he mightpresent the church to himself a -glo-rious church. Not having spot orwrinkle or any such thing: but thatit should be holy and without blem-ish." (Eph. 5:25-27.)

III. The drag net, vs. 47-50. Thisparable Is another that deals with themixed character of the kingdom hereupon the earth and of the final separa-tion incident thereto. It is noticeablethat this is collective, not individual,fishing. There will be many move-

ments that will ostensibly be for thegathering of men Into this kingdom,

that one considered In the lesson ofthe wheat and the tares, viz., that ul-timately there shall be cast out allthings that do offend. In the finalityof all things the kingdom shall bewithout spot or blemish. Hence we

do not read into this parable empha-sis upon any phase of evangelism.

Search the Scriptures.IV. The householder, vs. 51-53. In

the first of these parables we had theWord as the seed of this new kingdom,in this the eighth of the kingdom par-ables we revert as it were to the mat-ter of the Word. Jesus asks hisdisciples if they understand the Wordhe has spoken to them. Their re-

sponse is, "Yes, we do." Then Jesusshows them what a burden of respon-sibility due to possession rests uponthem. Jesus refers to the Scribeswhose work under the Jewish econ-

omy was to transcribe and to interpretand tells the disciples that they in a

like manner are to interpret the king-dom to all men. They are to "bringforth" hidden treasures. We must re-

that "hearing they might not hear,"etc.,' hence we are to search the

Scriptures and bring forth these hid-den treasures of truth as we go aboutdoing our part in the ushering of the

kingdom.There are two ways of our entering

this kingdom, a right one and a wrongone. We may think we have enteredby doing something, e. g., by our

works, only to find that when the con-

tents of the drag net are examined we

shall be cast forth. Or we may gainthe pearl of great price, even Christhimself by faith, and find in him allthat fulness for which men are starv-ing. Find in him the sum of all val-ues. When we enter this kingdomthrough him who is the Way, theTruth, and the Life, we will discoverit was a profitable bargain to partwith all, for what will a man give inexchange for his soul?
