H. T. Couord of this city has taken
up the matter with the business men
and the Commercial club Of the city
and in a few days ten patrols of ten
boys each will be organized and put
into action in and around Herlngton.
The patrols under the management
of Mr. Collord will be given the pre-
liminaries of the boy scout rituals and
before winter it is expected that
number Of extended trips will be made
throughout this and several of the sur
rounding counties.
There are 100000 boys of scout age
in Kansas. There are more than 500
of this age in Harrington. The first
company of ten patrols or 100 boys will
be organized and placed into service
at once-and the other 400 will be
sworn into the camp and out door life
later this fail.
Kansas City and Topeka have large
scout memberships Salina has taken
up the matter with enthusiasm. Her
ington and Salina are so miles apart
with Abilene half way between the two
cities. When the movement is started
in Abilene it is expected that the Her
ington and Salina companies will march
to Abilene on their way to the two
terminal cities. Abilene could be made
the first camp and either Herington
or Salina the final camp before the re-
turn.
1.-THE scout organization in Herring
ton is not intended to take the place
of the church societies or other religi-
GUS affiliations" said Mr.. Collord to-
day. The idea is to interest the boy
in strong outdoor life free from rowdy-
ism; to teach self reliance and various
occupations which would tend to build
character.
practically all our meetings will be
held out of doors, even in the winter
months. Here are some things that
the scouts have impressed upon their
minds;
Scouts do not wish anyone to buy
things for them. They buy their own
equipment and pay their own way
The glory Of scouting is to do
good turn to some one every day with
out reward.
Scouting means obedience and dis
cipline. The boy who cannot obey will
never command.
Lieutenant General Sir Robert
Baden-PoweI, the hero of Mafeking,
started the movement in England and
now there are 100000 scouts, and as
many as 10000 have come together at
one time. Ernest Thompson Seton is
at the head Of the American organiza-
ton, with headquarters in New York"
The Harrington patrol under the SUI
pervision Of Mr.. Collord and Profess
sor McAllister of the city schools will
make a complete study of the different
uses Of the movement and their adj
vantages. Even though the meetings
are supposed to be held out of doors
in the worst kind of weather, the Com
mercial club will boost a club house
scheme and it will be but a short time
until the building is erected.
The Knights of Honor, an organiza-
ton of Harrington boys, may be infiuenc-
dto turn over their club house and or
ganization to the movement. If the

PICKING THE SPRAYED FRUIT.
Real Work of Experimenters Com

ottawa. Kan. Oct. &c. H. Gable,
the government orchard expert, to-
gether with this assistant. Leslie
Pierce, left for Vinland, where they
will commence the apple picking in the
experiment orchard. This is where the
real work of the expert comes in. On
every tree there are from 1900 to
1000 or more apples. All these have
to be counted, and sorted, while a rec
ord is being kept as to the diseases
found, and in what state they were.
Each apple must be looked over for
scab, curricIio, blotch, and other dis
eases, and a strict record kept of all
This is the record which is sent to
Washington, and from it the experts
formulate their figures in regard to
the use of the spray and the results
obtained.
1.-THE apples in the Vinland orchard
are fine,' said Mr.. Gable today 1.-THE
value of the spray can only be seen
when the fruit of the sprayed trees is
compared with that produced by the
unsprayed ones just across the road.
My only regret is that more farmers
would come to the orchard. We could
talk all day about the spray, but it
would not convince half the people as
much as would personal visit to the
orchard, where we have the practical
results I wish more farmers would
come to the orchard to see what we
have done before the apples are
picked

SUGAR MILL TO OPEN OCT. IL.
Estimated 10000 Tons Beets Will Be
Handled at Garden City.

Garden City, Kan, Oct. THE
sugar mill will commence its season
this year Monday, October II. Indi-
cations are that it will extend 100 days.
The receiving of beets will be started
next Monday and all growers have
been notified to that effect.
The tonnage, it is expected, will be
much in excess of any previous year,
the estimate being made of a total
yield of over $4,000 tons. The sugar
content will be about Is per cent.
A successful run is anticipated, and
every branch of the mill is in excellent
condition for the seasons work.
Garden City will undoubtedly feel
the direct effect of this years large
crop. The payment of the sugar COM
Danv for beets alone will approximate
" be 100000. and the bulk of this will
be spent here.

LIBERAL WILL INVESTIGATE.
Business Men to Bore for Artesian
Water. Oil and Gas.

Liberal, Kan, Oct. THE question
whether or not the country around
Liberal is underlaid with artesian
water, oil or gas is to undergo the
test. For the purpose of drilling a
prospect hole from two to three thous-
and feet deep a number of local BUSH
ness men will organize a stock COM
pany and push the proposition to some
conclusion in the next sixty days.
Negotiations are now pending where
by it is expected that L. A. Stancliff,
an expert well man of Lake Arthur,
N. NJ, will contract for the well.
Mr.. Stancliff has but recently DEM
onstrated that artesian water can be
had in Morton county in commercial
proportions and is of the opinion that
the same conditions apply to Seward
county. This belief has existed for a
number of years, and experts have sug-
gested from time to time that pros
pect well would reveal the presence of
oil and gas in commercial quantities
under a large portion of this section
of southwest Kansas. 1t is believed,
however, that oil and gas, if found,
will be at a greater depth than the
water bearing Dakota sandstone, which
gives up the artesian water.
