caused many of the shoots to fall off
the vines, is the principal cause.
A low August temperature gave the
crop another setback, but conditions
harvest time were favorable. Regard

BOY SCOUT WINS PRIZE
Moscow Boy Is First to Pass Tests in
the Local Camp.

BY passing certain tests this week,
Fred Stewart one of the Moscow Boy
Scouts, completed the requirements for
first class scout. He is the first boy in
Moscow to attain this rank, and re-
ceives prize offered by the scout
master for this achievement. The re-
quirements for this degree, says Pro-
fessor Steinman, consist of examina-
tions in swimming, signaling, advanc-
ed first aid and life saving, scouting,
camp cooking, mapping, woodcratt
Judging distances, study of trees and
plants, birds and wild animals, and
elementary astronomy.
THE most significant requirement,
says the scoutmaster, ''is that the boy
shall furnish satisfactory evidence
that he has put into practice in his
daily life the principles of the scout
oath and law. After all, this is the
test by which the entire scout move
ment must stand or fall"
The boys have been working on
these requirements since last Christ
mas when a prize was awarded to
Cecil Ryan for being the first to be-
come a Second Glass Scout.
