two places is the most convenient re-
ceptacle for the purpose. The latter
can be made of white or tan linen or
rep. A very artistic patch bag seen
recently was made of white rep. 1t
was rectangular in shape and its open
ing was concealed by means of a flap.
On the flap were cubist designs which
were quite appropriate for the type of
bag they adorned.

PANAMA CANAL AND FARMERS.

What the Great Ditch 10 Doing ane
Will Do For As-ieulturists.
JudsOn c. Welliver has ah article in
! the Farm and Fireside in which he
tells In part as follows what the Pana-
ma canal is doing and will do for
American farmers:
! am told that wheat from Montana
and other northwest regions is this
year moving to the coast In a volume
never before dreamed of. Why?
Because the canal is open. and it is
possible to haul grain from great dis
tance inland to the Pacific terminals.
and there put it ON ships for eastern
and European ports cheaper than Il
can be taken east by rail.
This all adds to the weStbound traf.
iic Of the railroads. As time sees more
development of the canals possibilities
the Pacific ports will draw more and
more from inland; they will reach
farther and farther east and the rail
roads will profit.
The great west will develop under
this stimulus; the middle west will find
both Atlantic and Pacific and also gulf
ports bidding for its products. Every
trainlOad that goes west that formerly
went east will he that much subtract
ed from the food of agricultural
products that In the past has swept
eastward and submerged the agricuI-
ture Of the eastern states Eastern
cities and industrial districts viii need
new supplies. They will have to get
them nearer home. and getting them
nearer home means that they must
raise them That means huge i'm
petus to the agricultural revival in the
east and southeast.

The BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD BOY SCOUT NOTES.

Scouts should read this column every
I week and preserve the lessons for future
{ reference These have been carefully
. compiled from variety of authoritative
4 sources, al e more complete than those
obtainable III any other form, and are
especially intended for the use of Della
ware Scouts. Following the second
class requirements will appear the first
class requirements, which will be even
more worth while than those which pre-
cede them. In particular, the directions
for map making are complete and prac-
tical, and are such that when thoroughly
mastered by the Boy Scout will render
him second to none not even to the
U. S. Army man - in map making
ability.
Notice is hereby given of Treasure
Hunt which will be open only to Boy
Scouts. Briefly. the plan is this A
| package containing something of consid-
erable value will be hidden somewhere
in the vicinity of the Log Cabin, at
Haven Lake. A clue to its location will
be given in this column. This clue,
when correctly worked out and followed,
will exactly determine the location of
the Hidden Treasure. The Treasure
will become the property of the Scout
who finds it.
The rules governing the search are as
follows: /. To be eligible to take part
the boy must be Scout in good stand
ing. 2. He may have the assistance of
older people in searching for the clue
and calculating it, but, 5. He must fol-
low the clue and locate the Treasure
with no other assistance than that rem
dered by other Scouts. 4 He must
g ,
he followed the clue and located the !
Treasure, and must draw a rough map
of the surrounding territory.
Watch this column carefully. Here is |
a chance to show what good Scouts you |
are, whether your powers of observation |
are good. whether, like Sherlock |
Holmes, you possess the valuable mental |
accomplishment of deductive reasoning |
Remember, the package will contain |
something of real value which every |
Scout will want. If you find tit is
yours Watch for the clue.
To those who know what Scouting.
and all that the name implies, means to
a community, it is matter of surprise
that there should not re more troops in
this part OF the state. Within a few
miles of each other are a number of
Towns whose youthful citizens could not
tail 10 be benefited by associating them
selves together in a movement whose
scope is national in range. and whose
10 al results are reckoued in sounder
bodies, stronger minds, and a citizenship
which spells success for community
The good which the Boy Scout move
ment has already accomplished is incal-
culable, and as this becomes more
generally known the more generally
desired will be the organization which
numbers among its officers both the
president of the nation and the governor
1f this state, and whic h is striving, re-
gardless Of religious creed or political

RAISE THINGS.

The way to raise things is to
get fertility, and the way to get
I fertility is to raise things. Lest
we become seasick in the whirl
: of this idea let US hasten to
elucidate. The first thing to do
, with a worn or tired soil is to
get plants to grow on it. The
way to do this is to feed them.
by putting available plant food
where the roots can find and
use it. These plants will in turn
put fertility into the sell. some
of them better than others. but
all will do it if they are allowed
to remain in or on the land. So
get fertility in sacks. in barns
or anywhere. With that fertil-
lty get plants. and with those
plants get more fertility. This
Is n primary lesson. but some
who are called wise men have
not learned It. They dream of
releasing and using the fertility
the chemist can find in even an
impoverished soil instead Of buy
ing a little and starting some
thing. The practical man will
never mind these iridescent
dreams. but get the stuff and
take the easiest. shortest. cheap
est route toward the reality Of
raising things Farm Progress.
