Through Macon
Thousands of Dollars in Pro-
perty Loss Sustained by
Farmers   of    the    Ridge
' Road—Many are Homeless.
From.--our M?.'.;   fcouvspDndeut.   *
Thursday about 4:30 p? in. the
most disastrous cyclone in its Jiis-*,
tary swept through the eastern p'oru
tion of Macon township carrying
destruction to many farm bul*di.ags
and killed a large number of cattle,
hogs, sheep aiid ■poultry. Houses
and barns were torn almost to atoms,
in some instancies making it alnnst
impossib'e to tell the exact former
location of the bu'lding.
That these was no loss of life c:,n
be explained only as a miracle.
Several, however, stiff re 1 m'nar In
juries^ .'Saturday hundreds cf the
neighbors turned out and assisted-
in clearing the roads and huilding
temparary shelters f^r those bereft
of homes, also to provide means of
earing for the stoik. A rapresenta-
tive of the Red Cross was early on
the scene giving aid to the sufferers in the form of food and clothing.
Several thousa'-ds of dol"ai-s" was
contributed "ty sight-seers ti the Red
Gross for -the relief of the most
needy.
The Boy Scouts of Adrian and Tecumseh came Saturday and Sunday
and rendered most valuable service
in many ways, winning words of
commendation from * all quarters.
Estimates of the damage are as yet
incomplete and vary all the way
from $250,000 to $400,000. *-*
SymWiizers from* the afflicted d's-
trict canvassed Saline for aid for the
stricken families and were generously received. This sp*e:dod work
of reliet has, done-much to.,*pl,acje,tt'ie

damage and to erect new homes and
other buildings on their Barms.

Rev. W. H. Hoffman. Pastor,
••The subject Sabbath mo.ning: 'Tin
Church, its Spiritual Etafl .wment and
Manifold Functions."
Not long -since one of the prominent ministers in Detroit said that a
"'Scotchman accused him of not
preaching the 'gospel. The .point of
the criticism in this case was that
" the Scotchman was looking for something doctrinal, didactic and contrc*
versial and well enforced by the
proof texts of the t Catechism, as he
had.been taiught in childhood in the
old kirk. People are quite apt to
say.j if they dislike the minister, or
take exception to what he is saying,
he Hoes not preach the gospel and
with staring wonder we look upon
such self-imposed^ critics as authority upon doctrine and th,e proprieties
of religious worship. It is a question
in many instances whether these
people themselves really know? what
the gospel is. It is good news that
Christ saves us from sin and redeemed us by His grace, tf we will'
come to church "in the proper frame
of mind, in a spirit of prayer, willing
to take whatever Is hanjed out ^n
the message it matters but l'ttle win
mar?be in the pulpit,   ... <  _,...
* The time comes sooner or later in
Sail of our lives when we must .'give
our-valedictory. I have been here T\
Saline eight years and duiirg that
period I have seen five 'ministers
leave the place. It is not strange
that in. the course ot events my turn
should come, and that I should feel
a longing desire to see what has become of these highly honored gentlemen.  •
" When one" is in su h a reminiscent
mcod the. past be.omes a veritabli
fairy scene and its charms are he-
witching. I might speak of seminary
days, w,hen young theologs Sfent thpir
summers preaching. I recall that I
spent one summer among the Covenanters of Canada and another amid
j the historic scenes of tbq Mohawk
Valley, but those were youthful days*
and of interest only to myself. When
I began my ministry in Sjline union
evehing meetings .were in vogue in
the churches and had become a tra-^
dition. The most fraternal relations
existed among the ministers, so much
so, that there were frequent (Monday
conferences, to talk and pray over
the labors of the previous Sabbath.
In looking back, we can -readily
discern the spirit and devor/on out of
which has since beveloped the friendly cooperation among the ehu che*,
in which we all so rejoice.   *
Glod has had His elect people in
Saline and while many of them have
been called home their influence is
still abiding" as an inspiring e>*_an-
ple. These past eight years has witnessed the exodus of many of„ our
young people, to positions p". usefulness in the larger world.
Delicacy forbids dropping into -personalities and mentioning names, fop-j
fear of making odious distinctions.
It was gratifyingjtp hear, citypas-
tors recently .acknowledge the'r Se-
psndance upon rural (Churches, and
that some of their most active and
progressive members came from ths
country. "Yes," said a country minister standing by, "you jjet our very
best members and most of our: young
people.'*' Workers for God in rural
-communities should Indeed magnify
their calling, for it is purely a work
of faith, that -may Teach unto the
ends of the earth and prove of lasting benefit-wherever God shall diiect.

SOILS MEN STUDY USE -
OF SULPHUR ON CHOPS
Tests to Determine Value oi Application on Alfalfa and Clover
Planned-^Ciiis Spring,
'Investigation to. find -the value of
applying sulphur to Michigan soils i
being carried out by Dr. M. ML McCool, of the soils department at th*
Michigan Agricultural -college, who is
working in conjunction with a number of farmers in the state who are
particularly interested in the use cf
this nece! sary element for ila it
g. owth.
Tests already carried out in Cass
ai.d VanBuren counties, where sulphur has been added to soils by Br-
McCool and G. M. Grantham', have"
shown results not to be of niarkeJ.
value in the case of several cropj
grown. Feeling that the questimlus
not been solved in the humid legion*-,
the Michigan soil workers are putting put several tests in d ffer«.n.
• a ts-of the state this spring.
D *.   McCool  advises   that  farjie s
apply acid phosphate, (a ton of wbii h
carries about 120 pounds of sulphur;
n literal amounts to a 1 but a small
part of the field.    Then tj a strip of
the remainder  they should add  sul-
--..hur at the rate of forty pounds to
he acre, as a top dressing for a fa -
fa or c*o,e*% and obs.r.e the-'iesults
I)n this way a,definite check can bo
obtained.
"Sulphur occurs in many of Mich"-
_an's s-rils in .somewhat small r
amounts than phosphorus" says Dz\
Mc-Ccol. "About eightean pounds ae
washed out of an acre ef soil annual-
'y. Some, but not all, of that, remov-
d from the soil is made good by rain
and air that enter the .soil mass, and
it seems that sulphur shoufd eventually beiome deficient in soil's unless
it is added in some fprm.
"-.here are several carriers of this
em.nt of plant food that are used;
namely, manure, ammonium sulphate,
t-O'assium sulphate, calcium sulphate
&/ ■ ".and*plas**eri^-fasid--'iphesphate"sra^d
pure sulphur. Pure sulphur and amino ium sulphate when used free'y
t n soils deficient in lime, or withen*
i s epp'ication, markedly increase
sj'1 aridity and thus becomes injurious. Where lime is abundant or is
atplied this is of minor importance.
"This has been investigated by
several soil workers in this coui-t-y,
as well as in foreign countries, bu*
the results-from field tests are var:-
ib'e. Work in Oregon, Wiscons'n-
Kew Jersey, Kentucky, and Ohio br
shown yields of different crops to b3
"nc eased somewhat* by the app'ica-
t'on of s'llphur."
