~t Flower Bulb Lack It's A Challenge to Our Am. ateur Gardeners to Develop New Lines Now That Our Imported Supplies Are Cut off The way Dominion Department of Agriculture experts see it, the war may. he a blessing in disguise to Candda's amateur gardeners, pain and fancy, It's up to them to replace supplies of flower: bulbs shut off by the war. When Germany conquered Hol. land, for instance, Canada: auto- matically lost the :ource of 98 per cent, of her tulip bulbs, This leit only slim supplies available in British Columbia, England and California. BULB INDUSTRY COULD EXPAND One authority ventured that within tive years British Colum. bia's expanding industry might be sufficient to look after the tulip demand. In the meantime-- "There's nothing much you can d> about it," he said. Right now we only have sufficient supplies: to meet 10 per cenf. of the de- niand. GO IN FOR PERENNIALS? But tulips or no tulips, the pro- blem could be solved if Canadians would go more extensively into the business of raising perennials, he said. This offered an oppor- tunity both to amateur gardeners and finicky faddists who make a lifetime study of the job, One branch of the industry-- the florists--already have re- cognized the need for action, They're using cyclamen, snap- dragons and stock instead of the traditional daffodils and tulips.

CHRIST'S CONCERN FOR THE LOST.--Luke 15, * PRINTED. TEXT, Luke 15 : 1-10 GOLDEN TEXT.~The Son 'of man came to. seek and to save © that which was lost. Luke 19 : 10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--January, A.D, 30, Place.--Same place In Peoraea. «The grief people experience over things they have lost depends up- on the value of these things, How much more valuable . than any property or even a domesticated animal is the loss of a soul--a man or womgi becoming an absolute shipwreck, abandoned by men and without God or hope. The hearts of all studying this lesson should be stirred up with a desire to go out and seek men who know not Christ. The theme of the parable in this lesson is the grace of God-- the object of the chapter is not s0 much to show how men are saved, but why they are saved. Three Parables Luke 16 : 1. "Now all the pub- llcans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him," (A publican in the New Testament was a Jew In the employ of the Roman Government collecting tax- eg, generally from fellow Jews, for the enrichment of the hated officers who were enforcing the laws of the Gentile power upon these conquered children ot Israel, They were utterly despised by other Israelites, Sinners here were those not living i conformity with the Levitical Law). 2. "And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man re- celveth sinners, and eateth with them." ; What our Lord now Is about to say contains first a precious mess- age overflowing with hope, and radiant with the love of God for these poor publicans and sinners who needed God so much In their lives. Up to now they had been prevented from coming to Him by all the legalistic paraphernalia which the Pharisee insisted upon. This message was for the Pharisees and scribes, too, to ghow them how far from the will of God they were in condemning the Lord Jesus for mipgling with' such people as they despised. All threo of these parables move about one word as it were, namely, the word "lost"--a Tost sheep, a lost coln, and a lost man. The sheep wanders away heedlessly, not of set purpose, but drawn onward by one tuft of sweet herbage alter another, till it has-got out of sight of tho flock and hearing of the shepherd. So many men stray away from God and Christ, not deliber- ately, but simply because they fol- 'low Inclination and the desires of the flesh. The coin, on the other hand, rolls away by mere gravita- tion, without volition; and many men fall Into dark torfiers of sin almost as mechanically. But under both the careless straying of tle sheep and the mechanical rollin away of the "drachma" lies the golfishness and unbridled living of the prodigal. All three parables must be together." oY _* Th® Lost Sheep 3. "And h& spake unto them this parable, saying, 4. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, . and having lost one of them, doth not-leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which {is lost, until he find it? 5. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7. I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy: in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance." The joy of success is proportioned to the difficulty, the doubtfulness of at- . taining it. All the hazards and sac- ritices of the search are repald by the recovery of the lost, There is + no joy comparable to the joy of ful love; of love, that isto b Chew to Rhythm "We have all read about drug houses and opium dens, but not, many have heard of the "chew- ing dens of Yemen," whose people have. strongly declared their: ad- horence to the cause of Britain. gn the inhabitants of Yemen have jaded "appetites, they don't go along to the doctor for a tonie.

This {s God's greatest joy. It 1s taken to mean here that the "ninety and nine" had already been saved. ! The Lost Colin : 8.

Flaxseed Crop Shows Increase 3,500,000 Bushel Yield Is Largest in Canada Since 1930 The production of flaxseed in Canada for crushing purposes fluctuates widely from "year to year. This is-due in part to, climatié "Conditions but mainly tothe wheat and flaxseed price ration... During the past few years the price situation has fa- vored the production of wheat rather than flaxseed with the result that the acreage under flax was relatively low, states W. G. McGregor of the Dominion Experimental Farms. In the spring of 1240 however, the situation seemed to promise better flax prices in relation to wheat and 'as a result the acre- age increased appreciably. Coinciding with the increased acreage there was a high average yield per acre with the result that Canada produced the largest flax. seed crop since 1930 with a yield of about 33% million bushels of +} excellent quality.
