The work of the department during the past year has included an ' How to meet the problem of the ru- .7al churches. is'a task which is areus- ing the concern of the -General Board - of Promotion of the Northern Baptist Convention, Surveys recently made by representatives of :the conventlon re- ‘weal that in some sections many of ‘these churches are gradually dying. ‘It was also shown that the outloek for others is far from promising. This is ‘particularly true in the East. “In the Western states the need is for the establishment of churches in the hun- .dreds of new communities which are springing up. The seriousness of the problem be- comes more apparent when a glance at the United States Census report shows that in 1910 the number of persons on .the farm was 49,348,883 as against 42,623,383 persons living in cities. This ] is further emphasized by the figures R revealed in 1917—that the number of persons engaged in agricultural pur- suits and in lnlmul husbandry ~was 119 070,843, T “The rural churches,” says the re- port, “have long been the fountains of our life, We cannot afford to let the isprings dry up. Our churches are the {firesides of the Christlan family * 9.9 ‘the schoolrooms where the Church ‘educates its people and leads them ‘Anto all the truth. * ¢ * Our bulld- ‘ings ought to be an adequate reflection of the life and strength of the church- es. A small church with meager re- sources may of necessity be compelled to do with an inadequate plant. But ‘s church of strength and power ought to have a home that will reflect its JMfe.” ' And to help the state conventions 'which supervise the work in their own ;states men are being employed to give 'flulr whole time, effort and study to lolp solve the problem. Other meas- 'wres planned to help meet the need are {increases in ministers’ salaries, the es- | itablishment of community. centers and | ithe use of, community churches when " other means are inadvisable, {.

It appears that a. considerable proportion of the varieties now being planted are so far below ‘the general average of the best sorts in production and other important characteristics as to justify their elimination. It is be-| coming mdre and more evident, say the ‘specialists of the départment, that greater attention should be given to the matter of stocks for use in propa- gating pecans In the nursery.

The poultry keep- ers who get-the best egg production during the winter mqpths shut their hens in their houses as soon as the weather gets had in the ‘fall and keep them in until spring comes.
