Within six years Li'iilshiaa has
taken lirM place aniong the - it',s •'
regards aline "f rtrawberry produc
linn. The ISfJl seas.rn v* is ti..- h M
ever known In the Indiistrj. 1.100 car-
loads df Louisiana berries being mar-
keted in 74 cities In the United States
pud Canada. In Chicago the -I pint
(■rules brought ns much lis $ii.50 each,
and during practically the entire mar
keilnc heason Louisiana strawherrles
gold at a higher price than any other
berries 011 the market, due to the
high quality of the product.
With such n record of achievement,
much Interest centers In the openlnu
,,f the 1 'J'.' marketing season. As
heretofore a field station of the United
States department of Agriculture will
he maintained In the Hammond dls
trlct during the season to keep pro-
ducers and shippers Informed dally of
strawberry marketing conditions in the
principal consuming markets, prevail
ing prices, cnrlot shipments from com-
peting nrens, and other marketing data
essential in the scientific marketing
of agricultural products, and granted
favorable conditions the 1season
should surpass even the 1021 record.
Nationwide Distribution.
The Louisiana strawberry industry
is of national Importance. The crop
has nation-wide distribution, the car-
lot shipments spreading out like a
fan from the Atlantic coast to the
Kockv mountains. La«t year 20 car-
P9I
| In the district utilize overripe and soft
1 slock in the preparation of fruit t"r
I the Ice cream and soda fountain trade
i in northern cities.
i Perhaps the principal reason for the
1 prosperity enjoyed by Louisiana's
herrj growers is that they keep them-
I selves closely Informed "l>"n day-to-
i day market conditions. The producers
i appreciate that "knowing the markets"
I enables them to meet the consumers-
desires as regards quality and quan-
tity, and that to overstock one mar-
ket when another market Is undersup-
! J,lie,I is unsound from both an econoin-
I Ic and financial viewpoint, l.ver.v day
during the marketing season a daily
report of conditions and price! at tie
I principal marketing centers through-
j (.lit the country Is Issued by the local
I representative of the United States
I lepartment of Agriculture. This in-
formation Is obtained by trained mar-
ket reporters at consuming points.
The grow ers are also informed ns to
dally carlot shipments everywhere In
the United States. Thus the pro-
ducers not only know the prices be-
ing paid for berries at the various con-
suming markets, but exactly what
competition may be expected from
other sections shipping strawberries
at about the same time. The depart-
ment also furnishes daily information |
regarding temperature and weather |
Conditions, so that the necessary icing |
and refrigeration can he provided for
' the shipments.
Information for Growers.
The department's station at Ham-
mond was opened In 1015, and was the
lirst tielj station established anywhere
by the fnited states Department of
\grlculture for the lssuan mar-
ket news reports. Here, In the heart
nf Louisiana's strawberry producing
district, arrangements were lirst made
to study methods of packing, ship
ping, and distributing strawberries In
the United States; to keep growers In
formed of strawberry movements trom
other regions, and to Inform them dally
,f prices and conditions in the lend
nsumlng markets. Hammond
-elected 11s the location for the
department's first field station because
if the large proportions that the Louis-
strawberry Industry had attained.

loads also went to four cities In Can-
ada. Chicago Is the prim ipal market j
for the fruit. Detroit, Boston, Pitts-
burgh and New York ranking next in j
the order given. Heat, cold and |
distance—marketing obstacles that
seemed Insurmountable a few years
Kgo have been overcome by the grow-
ers and shippers, and with continued
careful selection, grading, packing and
shipping, marketing experts say that
the Industry will enjoy Increasing
prosperity.
During the early years of the straw-
berry industry In Louisiana several va-
rieties of berries were grown, and t'hl-
cago was the main market outlet. To-
day the Klondike variety is grown ex-
clusively, and Louisiana strawberries
have a wider distribution tliun the
strawberries from any other section
of the country. The quality of tho
fruit is dependable, and there is every-
where a demand for the berries. When
picked the berries are carried to pack-
ing sheds, where practically each one
U handled separately, ltoth the 24-
pint 1 hillock crate and the 24-pint
ventilated crate have been used in
packing the fruit, although during the
past few seasons there has been a con- ,
slderable decrease In the use of Hal- ■
lin k's crates, which are known locally I
as "coffin" crates. Practically all grow- i
ers are now using ventilated crates, as
1 'Tries shipped in such containers ar-
rive at market in sound condition and (
usually command a premium over the
price paid for berries In non-ventilated
crates.
Trains of Strawberries.
Fully 00 per cent of the marketed
crop is shipped by express, the rail-
road company providing two or three
express fruit trains dally. These trains
run on a schedule of 40 tulles an hour,
which puts the fruit on the Chicago
market before daylight the second
morning. Less than carload ship-
ments are cared for by the expre>>
company, which operates local iced
cars to pick tip small shipments. I he
growers have good transportation fa-
cilities, deliveries are prompt, and few
Instances are known where cars have
not arrived at destination on time.
Strawberry buyers from the large
consuming markets establish head-
quarters at Hammond during the mar-
keting season, sales being made on
a cash f. o. li. shipping point basis. The
fruit is inspected at shipping point
and acceptance taken before the carl
move. At Ponchatoula all cars are
iold at public auction.
Several strawberry preserving plants
One Kind of Timber Will Last as Long
as Others if Amount of Heartwood
Is the Same.
Is a split fence post as durable as
„ r,„111(1 fence post? This is a question
frequently asked of the United States
lvpnrtmeiit of Agriculture. The fact
Is, says the forest products laboratory, ,
one kind of post will last about as
long as the other If the amount of I
heart wot h1 Is the same In both. Hut If I
the percentage of sapwood is tn-
crea-eil by splitting, the split post "ill
be less durable and If the peri outage |
of heartwiHid Is Increased. It will be ■
more durable than n round one. l'osts
of spruce, hemlock, or any of the true
firs are exceptions to this rule, be-
cause their heartwood and sapwood
are about equally durable.
\\ i pti jMists are to be treated with
creosote or other preservative, a round
post Is preferable to a split post, be-
cause «f the comparative ease with
which the sapwood can be treated.
The heart faces on split posts do not,
as a rule, absorb preservative well.
Split red-oak posts will take treat
' nicut, because the wood is very porous,
■ but the heart faces of split posts of
1 many other species, notably white onk.
i red gum, and Douglas fir. resist the
penetration of preservative, even un-
der heavy pressures.

I. Jesus Manifests Himself to ths
Discipies, Thomas Being Absent (vv.
lU-l'o).
lie appeared to several of Ills ills- j
cipii- at several dilierent times during
Unit day. 1 Ins is the Inst upptiuuuce
to the disciples a~ a body, liie rumors
of Ills several appearances oh that day
caused the disciples to us.-einble to
tulk over the matter. For liar of the
Jews, they met in a private room and
burred the door. While they wore dis-
cussing the strange happenings of the
day, the Lord mysteriously appeared
before them with the greeting of good
cheer, "Peace be unto you." He did
not come with censure for their fail-
ure mid desertion. At ills birth the
angels announced "Peace. Ju>t be-
fore he took His departure, He -aid:
"Peace 1 leave with you; my peace I
give unto you" (John 14:27) ; "l.et not
your heart he troubled" (John 14:1);
and now the lirst word afler llis resur-
rection is "Peace." Having calmed
their fears, He gave them an unmis-
takable evidence of llis resurrection.
"And when lie had so sa.4- lb' showed
unto them llis hands and His side.
Then were the disciples glad when
they saw the Lord." Their doubts
needed to be scattered, and His peace
needed to be upon them. Consider:
1. The disciples' commission (v. 21).
"As my Father bath sent Me, even so |
send 1 you." This commission was not |
simply to a class, as the eleven, but is
to all Christians. In Luke 24 :H3 wo
find that there were others there in j
j that meeting besides the eleven when ;
Jesus showed himself to them aid
I commissioned them, showing that the j
| commission Is not confined to a class
or order, hut is wide as the Clnisiian
I body 11 self. All Christians, therefore,
| are' envoys and representatives of
Christ. The exercise of this great
function i-- not merely optional with
the lndivhiu:^. but Is ijbllgatory upon
him. The Lord placed it upon a plane
with His own commission from the
father—"As my Father hath sent me,
so send I you."
2. The disciples' equipment (v. 22).
"He breathed on them, and with nnto
them, Iteceivc ye the Holy Ghost."
The mission of the disciple Is a very
great one, but every one who goes
forth In Its execution He clothes with
I lie power of a new life by the bestow-
| nient of His spirit. No one u ho has
| this equipment shall ever fail. lh®
l Lord's representatives have His life in
| tliem. The barrenness of our efforts
I ;s (jup to our failure to take by faith
I our equipment.
3. The disciples' authority (v. 23).
"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are
remitted unto them ; and whose soe\ or
I sins ye retain, they are retained." i his
\ authority was not by virtue of office,
| but by virtue of having the Holy
Ghost. This would give the spiritual
discernment to know who had or who
had not repented, and consequently,
to pronounce pardon or not.
II. Jesus Manifests Himself to the
Disciples, Thomas Being Present (vv.
Thomas was absent at the first ap-
pearance of Jesus. Ills absence de-
prived ' 111 of II vision of the Lord Ab-
sence from the assembly of believers
always occasions loss. The other dis-
ciples go to Thomas at once with the
glad news of the resurrection, but he
I will not believe. His stubborn dlsbe-
| lief is such that lie doggedly declares
| that unless he sees the prints of the
! nails, etc., he will not believe. It is
i right to demand evidence, but to pre-
I scribe terms is rank unbelief. Note:
1. The Lord's kindness to those who
have difficulties. Thomas deserved re-
buke, but the Lord kindly supplied the
evidence which he demanded.
j 2. The reviHation of the Lord trans-
forms a doubter Into a possessor.
I ill. The Conclusion of the Gospel
! (vv. 30-81).
I In these verses John's arguments nro
summarized, and an explanation Is
.riven as to why be wrote this Gospel.
Manv other things could have been
written, but these that he wrote he
judged adequate to prove his point:
To prove that (1) Jesus of Nazareth
was the expected Messiah; (2) that
Ho was divine—the very Son of C,od;
(3) that those who believe nn Him as
God's only Son—the Messiah—would
receive eternal life. Eternal life Is in
Him and only as He is appropriated by
faith can men he saved.

Near View of the Great Pyramid.
(Prepared by the National Oeosraphlo So-
ciety, Washington. 0- C.)
Stanley journeyed thousands of miles
to lay bare the secrets of Africa to
the world; but In the northeastern
corner of the same continent even
more thrilling exploration has been In ^
progress during the past few decades | h
through a relatively few feet of sand. n
The excavators who with pick nnd
shovel have been bringing to light the
details of Egypt's ancient civilization
anil the everyday life of her people,
where before only the barest outline
of the nation's history was available, j
are ns truly discoverers of unknown i
civilizations ns far-faring Marco Polos |
or Tlzarros.
! For a long time Kcypt was to the
j rest of the world little more than a
! sea Of sand with n few dominant mon-
' uments—the pyramids, the Sphinx, the
j colossi of "Memnnn"—to point to her
past greatness. Itellcs of various d.v-
' nasties existed side by side, their re-
| latbrns often unknown.
! The names of many kings and some
i nf their noblest exploits were known,
hut there was general lcnorance In re-
I «ard to the less exalted Egyptians, to
the activities that made up the life of
this mysterious nation beside the Nile
four and perhaps five nnd six or more
I thousands of years ago. Grave rob-
bers, whose activities extend back Into
| the days long before the I'tolomles.
' had rilled many tombs and so made
! much of the early scientific excava-
i tlons barren of results. And the enrly
excavation of Egyptologists was Itself
a careless procedure aiming fit the big
eo>'s nnil destroying nnd burying
many small objects of Incalculable
value in the Indications they mlcht
have given of mnnners and customs.
Recent exploration In F.gypt has
been a vastly different matter. Modern
town was congested and had sections
like the slums of today with the
crowded dwellings opening on narrow-
alleys. There were some separate
dwellings and some barrack-like struc-
tures presumably for unmarried work-
But even in the most humble
.louses evidences were found that their
occupants lived o;i a higher plane than
might have been supposed. Various
manuscripts were found Including a
medical treatise and several wills. And
In the separate dwellings were found
such toyi as tops and dolls and tiny
boats to Show that the pastimes of
children of that remote time were not
vastly different from those of today.
At the very border line between tho
pre historic and the historic in Egypt,
civilization, it has been found, had ^
reached a considerable degree of de-
velopment. The tombs of the first
Egyptian kings, who lived anywhere
from 5,000 to 7,000 years ago, are
such ns no barbarians could have
erected—a fact which pushes the be-
ginning of Egyptian civilization Into a
a very dim past Indeed. This was be-
fore the days of pyramid building
when the tombs were underground
structures.
Preserved in the Tombs.
The furniture of this distant period
was by no means crude as one might
assume it would have been. I here
were ebony chests skillfully inlaid
with ivory, stools with ivory legs
carved like the legs of bulls, vessels
cut from alabaster and ewers of cop-
per wrought with the cunning that
only highly skilled craftsmen could
liave possessed. Palntlly fashioned
bracelets on the withered arms of the

Getting Real Picture of Ancient Life.
Theso pnlnstaklng methods have
fully justified themselves. Instead of
having a confused mass of facts, many
of them most Interesting In them-
selves, but often perplexing, we are
getting by degrees a complete, Intel-
ligible picture of Egyptian life oyer n
period of thousands of years. Seem-
ingly unimportant things help greatly
to till ln the picture. One would hard-
ly make tho mistake of picturing the
old Egyptians scratching matches to
light the kitchen flro, but there wns
for long no true picture to take the
place of fnncy. None of the discovered
hieroglyphics showvd the making of
fire, and It appeared to he entirely
without religious significance. In re-
cent years, however, one of the new
schoni of excavators sifted from the
i sand a well-preserved fire-bow and
! drill and even ft board with burnt
holes, nnd the problem wns solved.
Temporary towns besides the sites
of great enclneerlng projects nre no
new thing In the world. Cities for ln-
borers were constructed for use while
some of the pyramids were under
construction. One such town hns been
completely uncovered nnd elves a
CTP^.section of life under such condi-
tions more than 4,000 years ago. The
forget what thy mother hath done for
thee. She bare thee and nourished
thee ln nil manner of ways. If thou
forgettest her. she might blame thee;
she might lift UP her hands to God,
nnd He would hear her complaint.'
In many families it was the custom
for titles and property to pass not to
the eldest son but to the son of the
eldest daughter. There wns no "moth-
er-in-law Joke" In Egypt- To the mind
of the Egyptian it wns the natural
thing that his wife's relations should
take n deeper Interest ln his affairs
than his blood relations.
Much of the ability of those who
live today to look into the past of
Egypt, to see something of Its flesh-
nnd-blood life, and to understand
somewhat of the joys and sorrows of
its people, must be ascribed to the
preserving powers of the desert air
of that sandy land. The perfect con-
dition of some of the objects recovered
from tombs Is marvelous. One of the
best examples of this was the tomb
of the noble parents of the great
Queen Tyl. The discoverer of the
