SOWING TURNIPS. After the middle of June is the orthodox time to sow turnips, though in reality this crop may be sown at any time. If it can- not be marketed, it can be fed to live stock, and this is where the grower who combines dairying or other stock-keeping with gardening has a decided advantage. At this time, however, turnips come in well to follow early peas, and in such a position they should flourish. The seed should be drilled, and the space between the rows may be eighteen inches. The novice some- times hesitates between' thick and thin sowing. If he sows thinly he gets gaps, .and if he sows thickly all the seeds seem to germinate, and there is a lot of thinning to be done. However, where the soil is in good order, and the seed is sound, it un- doubtedly pays to reduce the work of thinning by drilling somewhat sparsely. It is seldom wise to omit. a dressing of superphosphate, say 2 cwt. to 4 cwt. per acre, as this helps the crop to get away quickly out of danger of the dreaded" fly," besides which it increases the yield. This acid manure should not he used, however, on land where finger-and-toe is expected, a substitute being then found in basic slag or basic superphosphate. The dressing may be either sown broadcast when preparing the seed-bed, or drilled with the seed.

WREXHAM HORSE SALES. Messrs Frank Lloyd and Sons conducted their great June quarterly sales of 1,000 horses in the North Wales Repository on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday week. Buyers were present from all parts, and trade was equally as good as the spring sales. The highest price in the light horse section was 100 gs for a chestnut hunter gelding, the property of Mr Oliver, Car- narvon, and bought by a Russian gentle- man. Other prices realised by Mr Oliver were bay pony, 13.3 hands" winner of champion cup, 78 gs, geldings 70 gs, 65 gs, 52 gs, and 50 gs, Mr H. Parry 58 gs, Mr Hamley 55 gs, Mr J. Davies 65 gs, Mr S. Williamson 54 gs, Mr H. White 59 gs, Mr S. Platt 55 gs, Mr R. Bellis 57 gs, Mr E. Evans 55 gs, Mr John Jones 54 gs, Mr McCaffrey 53 gs, Mr Loughran 63 gs, and many others up to 50 gs. The waggon, lurry, and van horses, on Thursday and Friday, were a very fine selection, and met a grand trade. One gentleman from Mid- dlesex secured twenty-two at £ l-,062 Is 6d. A special feature in Thursday's sale was the grand lot of animals from the Elles- mere district. Mr H. Lee, Ridge, who won the* challenge cup for the best gelding, sold at 80 gs, Mr W. Nunnerly, Kenwick, and Mr John Edwards, Newton, also winning first prizes.

CROP EXPERIMENTS IN WELSHPOOL. THE RESULTS OF MANURING. On Monday a large number of gentle- men witnessed at Coedydinas, Powis Castle home farm, the results of manuring experi- ments made by the agricultural director, Mr R. S. Forbes. In the meadow hay, Mr Forbes explained the means adopted to ascertain the soil requirements, the effects of artificial manure and dung over a period of years, and the relative merits of super- phosphate and basic slag. Each plot treated measured one-twentieth of an acre, and they were all located in one field. The manures applied, with the quantities and the cost calculated by the acres, were:— Plot I.: 4 cwt. basic slag, 10s. II.: 4 cwt. superphosphate, 10s 6d. III.: 2 cwt. basic slag, 2 cwt. superphosphate, i cwt. muriate of potash, U cwt. nitrate of soda, (complete dressing), 28s. IV.: 2 cwt. basic slag, 2 cwt. superphosphate, cwt. muriate of potash (not nitrogen), 15s 6d. V.: t ewt. muriate of potash, Hel cwt. nitrate of soda (no phosphates), 18s 6d. VI.: 2 cwt. basic slag, 2 cwt. superphosphate, It cwt. nitrate 4 of soda (no potash), 23s. VII.: No manure. VIII.: 10 tons of dung (annually), 40s. IX.: 10 tons dung, 4 cwt. basic slag in alternate years, 25s. Mr Forbes described the effect of the different dressings on different soils. The outstanding features seen were the heavy crops where dung and complete dressings' had been applied. The former mfThure pro- duced the heavier crop, but, as Mr Forbes pointed out. the quality was not so good, and, moreover, dung cost 40s per acre, against 28s per acre for a complete dress- ing. There was nothing like farmyard man- ure, Mr Forbes remarked, but if they ap- plied it too liberally, the law of diminish- ing returns operated. It sweetened the crop to apply basifc slag or a phosphate in alter- nate years. These experiments, he said, would be continued on the same plots for j two or three years, in order that accurate data might be obtained. In the oat fields, Mr Forbes showed the party the five plots sown respectively with Beseler's Prolific, Yielder, Wide-awake, Banner, and Local. The Local seed prom- ised by far the best crop. A good yield was also promised by Beseler's Prolific, a variety introduced from Germany. The result of the red clover experiments will not be visible till next year. A mangold hoeing competition took place, in which 30 entered. Capital work was done in singling and weeding. Messrs McCraith and Alderson, Kerry, acted as judges, and awarded the prizes as follows:- Men's prizes—1 E. T. Jones, Pentre Beith, Guilsfield, 2 D. Baskerville, Brandy Shop, 3 T.

DEAR BEEF. One cause of the clearness of beef which has not been noticed is the effect of the drought which prevailed in Argentina in the early part of the season, which seriously reduced the production of beef at the time. It is true that in the five months ending May last we received from that source 1,822,684 cwt. of beef, as compared with 1,670,710 cwt. in the corresponding period of 1909 but the increase was not as great as the development of the dead meat trade would have shown under ordinary circum- stances, with prices in this country as tempting as they have been this season. The total beef from all sources is only 45,000 cwt. more than that of last year up to the end of May, and against this there is a decrease of 146,500 cwt. of mutton.

A' BAD FRUIT SEASON. As the season has advanced the outlook for fruit has become worse and worse. Pears are almost a complete failure, and now it appears that cherries are one of the thinnest crops ever grown. Plums never promised well, but they are far scarcer than was expected three weeks ago, as some varieties that blossomed well, and appeared to be setting their fruit, now show but little besides tiny plums which are turning yellow and falling off. Apples, too, have set very badly on the whole, many varieties being almost fruitless, though some are fairly loaded. These failures are not all to be accounted for by frost, as they have occurred where no frost worth notice took place after some of the fruits were in blossom. Gooseberries, as market prices in- dicate, are scarcer than they have been for some years, and black currants are reported to be only half a crop. Strawberries alone promise to be a great crop, though rasp- berries may prove a moderate one.

Newtown's Opportunity. The following frank, outspoken statement by a Touchill (near Chirbury) man Ùes Newtown an opportunity of gaining information which will be beneficial to many hare. "SAveral years ago," said Mr Richard Embrpy, of Touchill, near Chirbury, Salop, when epeaking of his case to a representative, I had a severe attack of kidney disease, the pains in my b..clr being particularly bad at night, and often pre- venting me from getting refreshing sleep; in fact, I could scarcely get any rest at all. In the morn- ings I felt tired and languid. I also had sharp attacks of faintness, often accompanied by chilli- ness or numbness of the limbs. The urinary sys- tem was out of order, the kidney secretions being scanty and difficult to pass. My appetite was poor. "I tried various remedies, but in vain. At length I read of Doan's backache kidney pills, and was induced to give them a trial. After taking the pills for four days I began to feel they were doing me good. I persevered with the treatment, and soon the pains in my back and the feeling of lassitude left me, my appetite returned, and I began once more to take an interest in things about me. It is about two years since then, and I have had no return of the trouble. I can heartily recommend Doan's backache kidney pills. (Signed) R. EMBREY."

RED CLOVER. Red clover makes most profitable when the heads are well in flower however, the heads by no means come at once, espec- ially in growing weather in very droughty time they come on more nearly together. The best guide for cutting clover is really that which allows a well-flowered crop to be cut whilst the leaves are well retained. The loss of leaf in clover is serious both in respect to the feeding value and the appearance. Clover hay which has retained the leaf, and had just enough heat to make it cake down hard, so that on splitting a truss it has much the appear- ance of caked tobacco, is a splendid food, and always attractive to buyers. For this reason it requires to be carefully handed and, although it is usually best to let it lie a considerable time before turning, so that the top may be well dried, this ought not to be overdone, because the leaf of the up- per part then becomes so brittle that it is almost sure to be lost. It, however, re- quires to be left long enough t6 ensure that when it is turned, the top, when turned un- der, will lie hovery, so that the wind will draw freely through it. Then the making, in spite of what sometimes seems to be slow at first whilst it lies solid from having been swathed in a moist and heavy condi- tion, is relatively rapid. In some districts, especially where sun heat is particularly -strong, it is a frequent custom to run it into small wads very soon behind the scythe, and to make it in the wad. turning it when opportunity occurs. In this way there is practically no loss of leaf, and very fine hay is produced.

ON RAISING GEESE. The breeding of geese can be carried on profitably, as they feed mainly on pasture. It is, however, advisable to give the old birds a little coaked grain at night in or- der to induce them to come home. There are a number of varieties of geese, but the most desirable to keep are the Toulouse and the Embden. The Embden, being a pure white colour, presents a much more atractive appearance when dressed for the table than the dark-plumaged birds, owing to the objectionable dark pin- feathers in the latter. The average number of eggs laid is about thirty a year. The number of geese with one gander should be two or three. The best time to mate them is in their second year, and they should be dispensed with when they are ten years old. It is better to use large hens, not geese, to incubate the eggs, giving each hen from four to six eggs. The length of the time required to hatch is twenty-nine to thirty days. Sprinkle the eggs occasionally with warm water. When the birds are hatched, keep them away from the pond or stream until they are nearly feathered, but always have clean water before them to drink.

HOUSEMAID'S KNEE. This is so called on account of its fre- quent occurrence to those who have to kneel upon hard floors or stairs, scrubbing stone passages, etc., and is met with among others, who, from the nature of their occupation, habitually exert much pressure upon the knees. The complaint presents itself as a colourless, prominent, round swelling just over the kneepan. TREATMENT: Bathe the part with very warm water for two or three minutes each night, having a good dressing of Grass- hopper Ointment spread on a piece of lint ready to cover it with whilst warm let it remain till the following night, when re- peat, resting the limb as much as possible, particularly the calf, moving it occasionally and stretching the leg straight out when lying down, to prevent contraction.

THE ( BAPTISTS' REBUKE AT KERRY. OPINIONS OF LEADING BAPTISTS. I The extraordinary indictment against Baptists made at Kerry by the Rev J. G. Williams, Llanfair, has excited much feel- ing among members of the Baptist denom- ination throughout the Principality. Principal Edwards' View. Principal Edwards, of the South Wales Baptist College, Cardiff, in an interview, said: I must say I read with considerable pain the so-called invective of the Rev J. G. Williams. I know Mr Williams as an excellent man, of high ideals, possessing great energy and enthusiasm, and I do not wonder that sometimes men of like emo- tions use very strong, if not extreme, lan- guage. There is certainly much in our de- nomination, like every other body of Chris- tians, that we must deplore, but I feel that Mr Williams' indictment is too sweeping. There is a side that is exceedingly bright and encouraging, and in his address he did not seem, so far as your report indicates, to have caught a glimpse it." TRIBUTE TO THE RANK AND FILE. As to the charge that the 133,415 pro- fessed followers among the Baptists in Wales did not support the denomination as they ought to do, Principal Edwards said: "I know personally thousands of poor Bap- tists, whose contributions, liberal and spon- taneous, form one of the brightest chap- ters in the history of Christian service. There are exceptions. There are rich men who are exceedingly miserly, and who, as long as they' are members of the church, should be subjected to exemplary disci- pline, but I believe the rank and file con- tribute according to their ability, and many a poor member exhibits the spirit of the poor widow that our Lord commended. There is, after all, a vast difference be- tween professed believers and the people of the world. Taking them as a body, the former are, with rare exceptions, the sup- porters not only of their own causes at home and Christian movements abroad, but of nearly all charitable institutions." FOOD AND DRESS. Extravagance in food and dress," said Principal Edwards, in further reply to Mr Williams, is the exception and not the rule. There are women whose love of dress is inordinate, and the amount they spend on themselves is extravagant in the ex- treme, yet I venture to think that these are few and far between. I believe there has been much improvement of late years in the matter of dress. Neatness has taken the place of gorgeousness, and such vul- garities as the ancient crinoline '1: believe will not soon come back again." THE MOLOCH OF TOBACCO. Dealing with the suggestion that the Bap- tists of Wales contribute a large proportion to the drink bill of the nation, Principal Edwards said: "I do not think that is so. Temperance principles have made immense progress in our midst. The pulpit has never been so strong. It is almost a rare exception to meet with a minister who is not a teetotaler, and all our students, as far as I know, range themselves on tohe side of temperance. Temperance has also cap- tured tens of thousands of our members. I wish, however, that a less amount was spent in offering sacrifices to the Moloch of tobacco." Perhaps the most serious of the allega- tions," remarked the interviewer, is that scores of people work their religion for the sake of their business, and not their busi- ness for the sake of their religion ?" That is certainly a very serious, and perhaps not altogether unfounded, allega- tion," responded Principal Edwards, but it is too strong, and would lead to a wrong impression of the real state of things. Whilst true of some, I cannot believe it is true of the many. In fact, througtout his indictment, Mr Williams deals with excep- tional cases, and sot with the mass of the community." At the same time," concluded Principal Edwards, I hope Mr Williams' indict- ment, with its strong, if not extreme, state- ments, will be carefully pondered. Let each examine himself, and ask whether he be guilty or not. On the other hand, I do not believe our denomination has been purer, healthier, or more liberal at any period of its history than at the present time." Dr. Morris, Treorky. CONDEMNATION TOO SWEEPING. The Rev W. Morris, D.D., Treorky, ex- president of the Baptist Union of Wales, said there was a good deal of truth in what Mr Williams had said still, he was of. opinion that the condemnation was too sweeping. Why Mr Williams should have made such an invidious distinction between Baptists and other Christians it was diffi- cult to understand, for Baptists compared quite favourably with any other de- nomination. Dr Morris said he had no doubt that the Baptists were sufficiently rich to raise the missionary income in Wales to £ 10,000 a year, and he believed, as he had recently publicly stated, that they were rich enough to pay every penny piece of the debt on all their chapels. Amongst the Baptists there were innumera- ble men and women who made great sacri- fice for the cause but, on the other hand, he readily granted that too much money was being spent in luxuries and on drink and tobacco, and that there was a mad de- sire to keep in the fashion." He ques- tioned Mr Williams' statement that people who placed their money in the bank had no faith in the Divine Providence," and contended that these were the very people who did have faith. The charge of glut- tony was, remarked Dr Morris, ridiculous in the extreme, and the phrase referring to their ó, defiled nature was a very un- happy one, and altogether unwarranted. Rev. J. M. G Owen, Llanelly. "TO ABSURD FOR SERIOUS CRITICISM." The Rev J. M. Gwynne Owen, pastor of Greenfield Baptist Chapel, Llanelly said:— If the reporter has represented the de- liverance correctly, it is too absurd and exaggerated for serious criticism. To say nothing of the bad temper and worse taste of the address, some of the statements made are unmitigated nonsense, such as that the Welsh Baptists spend more every year oh dainty fare than is spent on re- ligious work by all the denominations put together. Others are simply silly, as that the people who put their money in banks betray a want of faith in the Divine Provi- dence."

It Mr. Williams Vindicates His Statements. Seen by the press representative, the Rev J. G. Williams said that his strictures ap- plied to all the professing Christians of Wales, but having no right to address his remarks to outside connexions, he deliber- ately confined himself to his own denomina- tion. And I made it quite clear in my address (he went on) that the Baptists were no worse than those belonging to other de- nominations." He applied his remarks to the whole of Wales, and not to any par- ticular part of it. and his strictures were based on actual knowledge, and not upon hearsay evidence. He had been nine years at Llanfair before that he was six years at Br^nsiencyn, Anglesey, and prior to that he was for a like period at Ffynnongroyed, in Flintshire, this being his first pastorate. Of course," he proceeded, "I do not consider that we Baptists are any worse than other people. I told the delegates that I held the members of other denomina- tions to be just as bad, but I had no right to address myself to them." Then your indictment is a general one, affecting the whole of Wales ? "Yes, that is so." What effect, in your opinion, had the revival on these things ? THINGS WORSE THAN BEFORE THE REVIVAL. The revival did not improve matters a bit. I consider that things are worse now than they were even before and during the revival. Of course, I was in sympathy with the spirit of the revival, but. it has left no marked impression, so far as I can' see. It cannot be denied that there are scores and scores of people who refrain from attending chapel when they have been dis- appointed the previous night by the mil- liner or the dressmaker. Only yesterday I had a letter from a draper, an ex-president. of the association, agreeing with what I said, and testifying to what I said about people not going to chapel when, disap- pointed the night before, they are unable to appear in new hat or wearing a, new costume. Here is my address, and if you will read it through you will see that the burden of my complaint is that too much is spent on drink, tobacco, fine dress, and other luxuries, and not enough in the cause of religion. You will see also that I gave figures to show what was expended in drink and tobacco in a year, that Baptists patronised the drink traffic, and yet com- plained of the different collections made to advance the cause of God that thousands of pounds were spent yearly. by Baptists upon tobacco, and that none were more fond of the weed than some of their lead- ers. The plain principle I laid down. as you will see, was that every penny spent in beer and tobacco ought to go to the Lord." You found the whole of your assertions on what you describe as actual facts ? That is so." Mr Williams added that he had no wish to withdraw or qualify any- thing he said at Kerry indeed, he ex- plained to the committee that his address should either be circulated to the churches exactly as he gave it or not at all. While he had received many letters agreeing with all that he had said, he had not received one which opposed or even criticised his statements, and he certainly did not mind appearing a fool for the Lord's sake in the sight of the Rev J. M. G. Owen, Llanelly, whose criticism he had seen.

clip is just ahead, and the prices which will be paid at the fairs are matters for conjec- ture. Growers have moderated their ori- ginal estimates, but nothing less than re- cent rates for all good wools seems cer- tainly assured. Colonial wools are likewise very firm, the business passing is very steady, and reports from the colonies tend to support this condition of things. In the manufacturing districts the higher prices tend to restrict business, so that dealings are more difficult, and as the raw material continues to keep so firm, there is con- siderable difficulty to negotiate fresh tran- sactions, and an entire absence of specula- tive business. All that is done is to cover requirements, and large trapsactions are rare. Great caution is manifested in all dealings, and will also be necessary when the new wool is offered for sale. Monday's report from Bradford states that there is no accession of new orders in any department. Topmakers are firm on the whole, but in some quarters they seem more disposed to do business than they have been, and the extreme price sof three weeks ago are not being made in either merinos or crossbreds. Evidently top- makers are going to be sellers if they see any profit, and they are acting wisely in this respect. Direct arrivals of raw wool continue to be heavy, and there is plenty of material about to meet the requirements of machinery for many months to come. Commission woolcombers are as hard put to it to meet the wants of their customers as ever, and this is the soundest feature of the market. Tops continue to go out almost direct from the combs, and with unabated consumption prices cannot go very far wrong. At the same time there are no longer any forcing tactics. Merinos are steady and firm. Fine crossbreds are about the same, but both medium and coarse qualities can be bought at the price established during the past fortnight. No- body can make easily what looked likely a month back, and the absence of new business is creating uneasiness. There is a good deal of interest in the country fairs, which have begun in earnest, and home- grown wools will possibly be bought with freedom at current rates.
