---------81. Peter's Christmas…
81. Peter's Christmas Tree. The fortieth annual Chinstmas Tree, in coiiinieotimi with St Peitons Parish was held on the 9th inst. at the Assembly Rooms, and well maintained its popular and high repnta- lion, again proving a huge success. The proceeds of the "Tree' will be devoted mainly, towards the cost of erecting a new miseion- i,ix)am at Towyside, to take the place of the present unsititaible building, where the vieex (the Ven. Archdeacon Evans), the curates Rev D. T. Aiban iand Rev Aldred Williams), and the lay-reader (Mr Davies) are doing good work amongst the poor under difficult circumstances. There was a laa-ge attend- ance in the afternoon and evening. The room was prettily deoorted by a committee of ladies and gentlement, Hind presented a very charming appearance. Messrs Henry Thomas and Sons, The Emporium, rendered much ass,ist.anice in decollating. On the stage alongside the farmers' stall, the large Christ- ma's Tree, kimd/ly presented by Mr E. H. Morris, Brynimyrddin, was set up, and it was mileely decorated 'as usual. Around the rooms the stall lis were erected, -1 in the centre was the handsome flower stall, under- neath a tremendous Japanese umbrella. The tea stall was on the gallery, which was decorated with art muslin and flqgg, whilst garlands of flags stretched across the room. The wialls and stage were -also decorated with similar material, and altogether the decora- tions made a pleasing and attractive picture. The secretarial d'uties were again carried out in a most efficient manner by Mr T. E. Brig- stocke, who Was albly assisted by his son (Mr Fred Briigsitodke). The staal holders were :— Vicarage StaUl: Mrs Lincoln Lewis, assisted by Mrs Owen, The Place, Abergwili Mrs Frank Morga n, BlaenlModan Mrs and Miss Brigstocke, Carmarthen Mrs W. SpuiToll; the IMiteses Spnrr-ell, and M,ii311 Davies, King street. Pan-cy Stall: Mrs Tjester's (Furnace House) stall I contained Doulton and Dutch ware. arri'iicllee in. brass, etc., and she was assisted by Miss Lester, Mrs E. R. Williams, Spalman t.r-eei; Mrs Edward Lester, Muss Latimer Miss Brown, South Wales Training College; Miss Armstrong, Mr Leister, a.nd Mr E. B. Lester. Tea Stall: Mrs Hilary Lewis and Mrs Stephen Hughes: assisted by Mils Partridge, Mr F. Harries, Misses N. and B. Jones, Llan- anihn»y Voiara ge; Miss Em ily Price, Miss May Maithias, Pbnt-ypi-ndd; Miss K. Hearder, Misr4 F. Arthur, and Miss Queenie Williams, Na,piier House. Attached to this stall was also a cake table, on which w,asd:tSlpl,ayed a nmmiber of beautifully iced home-made cakes. The Coffee Stall Was in charge of Mrs Charles Jones, assisted by Miss Vaughan and Mrs Camber-Williams. A F a nicy iStall was in. charge of the Sunday School teachers of the parish, those superin- tending being 1frs Pu.ghe Evfans, Mrs Hum- phreys, King srtreet; Mrs Andrew Thomas, Miss Daivies, Bridge street; and Miss Jones. Francfis terrace; whilst the teachers formed an army of willing assistants. Mr Fred Humphreys acted as secretary to the stall- holders. Miss White's Stall occupied the same place as usual, and was filled wiitih a large quantity of articles, useful aaid orniannental, also a good supply of up-to-date toys. At the back of the, stall was a most appropriate motto: "Value here for every shilling. Goods are cheap, and sellers willing, Come and buy." There was a 'bns'k trade done at the "lucky tub," which took the form of a pillar post office, and on payment of 3d parcels could be deliered any hour. Mies White was assisted by Mrs Brunei White, the Misses and the Messieurs White, The Grange the Misses White, Holmleiigh (3); Miss Elsie Olutton, Burry Pont; iMiss Diffecham Miss Llewelyn, St. Peter's street; Mrs Reeves, and Miss Cissy Reeves, Miss Helen Lewis, iMiss Minna Spnrre'll.

Trevaugii.an Mis A. Bagrua 11 Woodmian, Mr Baignall, and Mr A. Norman Bury.

Xearlly the gallery efcood Mr Hairdaker with his book ready to receive any number of entries for interesitirag Limerick competi- tion, which' proved very popular. During the afternoon and evening, Messrs Jones' String Band enlivened the proceedings with choice selections of music from the stage, whilst gramophone seletions were also given. In the ane-rooom there was an amusing play, entitled 'Ioi on Parle Fnancais," per- forrwed, whidh attracted lange audiences, who were loud in their praises of the admirable way in which the ainfateur performers went through their parts. The dramatis personaa were: Major Regains Rattan, Mr Ernest Collier; Victor Dubois, Mr Fred Brigstocke; Mr Spriggints, >M-r Jack Lewis Mrs Sprig- gins, Miss Podley; Angelina (the daughter), Miss Enid Mreden; Julia (wife of Major Rattan). Miss Freda Davies, and Anna Mar a (a maid of alii work), M ss Etliei Craw- ford. THE OPENING CEREMONY. Shortly after 2.30 o'clock the openeing ceremony was gracefully performed by Mrs Putfley. of Tdtetlherllestiy, who was supported on the platform by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, the Ven. Archdeacon Evans, Mr H. Brun-el White, the Grange; and Mr T. E. Brigstocke. There was a large attendance, •and besides the stall-holders and assistants, there were also present Mrs Gwynno-Hughes, Tirigeyib, and GwynneHuighes, Glan- cothi. The A IThdeacon h'aving introduced Mrs Puxleiy, she said thiat it was a great pleasure to her to come and open their charming bazaar, which was known as their Christmas Tree, and it was quite a pleasure to see it. She had a great weiaikneiss for Christmas trees, as it made the room look more cheer- fufT She had known Carmarthen ever since she had il)t-e,ii m,.ii-riekl. and came down there ccntinuailly at greater or shorter intervals, until .three yetars ago, when they came to Blether!'estry to live. 'Moreover, she be- jieved she belonged to th:, samp ra-co as thcm- se'ves, and she believed they were all Celts, because lnanv hijzulred years ago. when they were driven back westwa'id by (the invaders some of the Celts fled to the beautiful moun- tains and valleys of Cumberland—in Cumber Lind they called it "Ccom," like the Welsh "Cwin" "for valley—and mary others fled to those beautiful moun'tains and valleys in Wales, so she though!; they had that in s common. She very heartily coiagviatulated ,h0 wMiing workers who had mad:" the Tree what it was that day. Slve knew it was an aneual affair, and she knew hw difficult it was to keep it up year by year. They must putting on their ibest metal, or they would never get the people coming there year by year to buy. The Vicar told her that that was the fortieth time an .immense amount of money had been raised for the parish by means of that bazaar, and she thought that was splendid. She hoped it would be in the future what it had been in the past. She was sure it must be art, inspiration to them all to bel,ong to the ancient parish church of St. Peterts dating back to the 12th century and possibly still earlier. It must be splendid for t'bem to feel that during all those ages in the same ebuirch. in which they now wor- shipped the Word of God w as preached, and the Sacraments administered long before the so-called free churches had itheir existence. She believed last year they did better than, ever before, and she hoped tha.t would still be a record year, because she knew they wanted n-ioiiey for a special purpose—for their new mission church. She hoped pur- chasers would not be lacking, and as they had also abundantly provided, so the hoped they would be able to clear out all that day (applause). The Veii. Archoacoil Evans said that he wished on their behalf to tender thecr very hearty thanks to Mrs Puxley for coming there to open the Tree. He hoped the occa- sion of her comiiuv there would be another record, but he could not expect such a thing. Last year he did net expect tfhat they wou.d realise L328, and he did not know to that day quite where the money came from, but it found its way into the bank, and it was extremely satisfactory to find it there. He was quite sure from the hearty and loyal work done, the Tree of 1908 would be a great success, even if it fell below the records of 190(5 and 1907. For the people of the parish to come forward year by year, and work hard for their "Tree," and realize the amount they did, is a gieat achievement, and as the Vicar of tthe pariah, he was proud of it, and very grateful to them for working. Ho would like to say there woukl be some other _-e on the proceeds of the Tree that year, yet sto far as the-money could be spared it would -go towards the new church at Towy- side A new church was very much needed, as the present building was unhealthy, and something very effective wouild have to be done in the way of restoration, before the ser- vices could be continued there. He was hoping very much that in the spring they would be able to start the building, but there was great difficulty in that locality to get a site. So far they had not succeeded, but he was sincerely hoping that a site would be seured belore 'long, and the building started {applause). The BMiop of St. 'David's in seconding the vote of thanks, said he was always very glad to be present at their annual Christmas Tree, and it had been a singular pleasure to be there that year to show his sympathy with them in this good work, and also his sincere aind great respect for Mrs Puxlev, and ho thought it was a very happy thing that the connection betweelli the family, so highly esteemed in. that county for generations, had been drawn closer. As Ghurchpeople, in Jirs Puxley they had a strenuous church worker amongst them. He did not agree with the Archdeacon, and lie could not say he approved of the failnt hope aibout the record year, but then he was the responsible man and lie quite understood and sym- pathised with his doübt. But when a tiling bad done well one year, it could be done as wel LiJlenext tiime, and he was not afraid of the result. As he went about the diocese he was frequently asked, "What is the secret of the ~t. Peters Christmas Tree?" Several cleryimen were most anxious to know, but he (the Bishop) did not know whether lie had been ab'e to find the secret quite of the re- markable success of the Tree for forty years, and under five successive viicars. There was something about the church people of that parish—they had a happy knack of working together, and a great store of enthusiasm, especially, amongst the ladies, which carried that tree on and on for those years. In the case of the individual—O'ne generally con- siders about the prime of life, and he hoped that on the fortieth anniversary of the Tree, it woulld show its strength was not ack For his part, he ventured to seeing al these beautiful stalls, with a ubr-ovr*, array of ca,pallle ladies, determined to find purchasers for tilie beautiful things, that good as last year and the year before was, this year's Tree would not fall one jot beih nd them. The vote was carried with acclamation, and :\1: Puxley in replying, said that she need no tba.n.ks beause it was quite a pleasure to ccme to the room to see so many workers ther coming She knew it was all done by the wenum ('laught: r and applause). Buying and se 1 ng then proceeded briskly and oiiilinued right up to closing time, when 01 the stae-Is were piettly well el pie led. The Limerick was in chaTige of Mr F. Hardaiker, and Mr H. S.

Crops that Paid Well.
Crops that Paid Well. Mr Ernest Parke, of Iv.netor., Yvorwick- shcie, records the results cf his sixth year's expenmeruto in the manuring of arable crops nanneh, oat 5 and miangolds. The oat crop (Black Tartar) of last season followed a. root crop. Without any direct application of manure it gave 55* bushels of oats an4 28 cwt of straw per acre. Superphosphate alone (3cwt. per acre) raised the yield to 771. bu-die's of oats, with 33cwt cf straw. When the superphosphate Mas followed by lewt of nitrate of soda (applied early in Mav) the crop was 84 bushels of oats, with 41cwt of straw, and where a second dress'ng of nitrate was applied later it. was as much as 96 bushels of oa-is, with olcwt. of straw. The heaviest crop, therefore, shows an increase of bushels of oats and 23cwit of straw per acre for an cult lay of not more than 32s in fertilisers, shoeing the economy of manuring well on land which, although naturally poor, is responsive to good treat- ment. The experimental mangold crop (yellow Globe) wtas Jast year taken after a crop off beans, and was a particularly fine erne. With-iut direct manui'inirr it gave between 18 and 19 tons of per acre Four cwt of superphosphate per acre raised the mop to 2;, tons On three other portions cf the fie.d sirperpho >i>h>ate was .followed by nitia. e ch s,da at the respective rates cf 2, 4 and 6 cwt. per .acre, and on theso plots the yield of mangolds e 36 11 0^.1 u?x p-iM!eei1.,ng fractions, nW +1?
