BOY SCOUTS FIGHT DISEASES
AND BUGS IN TREES And SHRUBS
New Chapter in Manual Will Teach Them Another Phase of
Real Scouting - They Will Be Instructed How to Detect
Insects and Cure Trouble.

NEW YORK-Boy Scouts of Amer
lea are doing a piece of real ano ex-
tremely useful scouting. They are
searching for trees that are afflicted
with disease or insects. This work
was started in Pennsylvania where a
disease is destroying thousands of
chestnut trees. The boys have been
of great help to the Forestry Depart
ment in detecting this disease and re-
porting the trees thus afflicted to the
Department of Forestry.
That work afforded an excellent
piece of scouting for boys and the re-
suit has been that boy scouts through
out the country have written to James
f. West, Chief Scout Executive of the
Boy Scouts of America asking for IN
forms ton about other diseases and IN
sects that affect trees and shrubs.
They wanted something definite TO
look for in their hikes through the
woods and in their camping expedl-
tionS.

VANCOUVER CADETS PERFECTLY
ORGANIZED FOR LONG JOURNEY
High School Lads Representing Dominion Have Been Drilled
and Trained for Tour of Australia and Are Well Equipped
for Work They Have in Hand.

The Vancouver cadets who recently
visited Honolulu enroute to Australia
Under the command of Captain R. N.
drilled and equipped organizations of
the kind in existence. In speaking of
their work and plans Vancouver cor
respondent says:
"This youthful military body is well
organized for the work they have to
carry out. All the Ulcers hav a
particular duty to perform and it is
their task to see that this work is
properly done.
The corps goes well drilled In mill
tary tactics and need have no fear
of being outdone on that score. For
the past three months the boys have
been drilled by Sergt.-Major Coffin of
the Department of Militia and De.
fence. Every day after school the
corps could be seen marching up and
down the school campus. Some days
they imagined that an enemy was pre-
rGring, to attack them from the rear
of the school: They were at all times
prepared to met them in this mimic
warfare, and Of course we're always
the victors.
"The band under the able direction
of Drum-Major Mackinlay and Bugle-
Major r. A. Hunter has won name
for itself across the continent. The
martial strains they pour forth when
on the march makes every ones blood
Jingle with eagerness to be at the
front. The lads have lately received
flies from England and by the time
they arrive in Australia will be able
ii play, these instruments as well as
they now play the trumpet.
Has Many Trophies.
The corps has won many prizes. In
every competition in which they have
entered they have at all times been
ranked with the winners. In. shoot
ink the youthful marksmen, under the
guidance of Lieut.. A. B. Msggs, now
at Bisley, have become the most
known in the Dominion.
The trophies that the corps has in
its possession are varied and hand
some. Old cadets and friends of the

cadets have shown their loyalty to the
organization by presenting the corps
with cups, rifles and medals. Some
become the property of.the cadet while
others are competed for annually.
"The business manager of the tour,
Drum-Major Mackinl2y has his de-
partment well organized. All the
business connected with the corps
while on tour will pass through his
hands. He has charge of the execu-
tive staff, whichssfs task in itself. The
band also comes under. his direction
and it IS his dhtY to twir1 the drum

Officers In Charge.
Cadet Captain r.. A. Seymour, Lieu
tenant A. S. G. Richards and Lieuten-
ant H. Nicksn have charge of the mill
tary affairs of the corps. Sergt. Major
r. G. j.. Richards is also connected
with the seniorgofficers
The medical needs of the lads will
be looked after by Lieutenant Gibson
of the Eighteenth Ambulance Medical
Corps. He is a military man of high
standing and is already a favorite with
the boys.
When question is asked about
Canada that a cadet is not familiar
with, and they will be few, he need
only ask the Intelligence Department,
under the charge of Sergt. Noble, and
the question will be Immediately
answered. This department has all the
statistics which the various provincial
governments give out. Information
about every part of the Dominion is
being taken in this department.
OtEer Department Chiefs.
The corps has an orchestra of
which it may well be proud. The
orchestra and all other musical ar
rangements are being looked after by
Bugle- Major R. A. Hunter, a musician
of ability. He composes nearly every
Iearch that the trumpets play. The
lads can sing "The Maple Leaf For

The Boy Scouts, think, can be
of material service in doing real scout
ing in locating cases of blighted trees
or of those badly affected by insects,
feeders and parasites. The real in
formation as to methods of such work
will depend largely, of course, upon
local or sectional conditions, and vary
also with the cause, but with little
care all of this can be worked out into
very good department of Scout work.
Most information as to exact causes,
kinds of disease and insect troubles,
METHODS of treatment, location, ETC.,

ing taught what diseases of the trees
anc what plants are likely to prove
harmful to themselves.
This work will train the observa-
