PREPAREDNESS

The Boy Scout Movement stands for 'Preparedness." It has always been our cardinal principle. By Prepared ness" however, we have meant some thing rather different from the type of preparedness that IS now causing such an amount of agitation nour country. Our ideal has been preparedness for citizenship. with all the obligations and privileges the word implies. We have devoted our energies to installing In our boys spirit and honor. and re- sourcefulness. and bravery. and the idea of cooperation and other character qualities. and have given
 little thought as to the ways in which
 these qualities should be given ex-
 precision. We believe that the quali-
 ties are of fundamental importance in
 a high type of citizenship. ard we be- lieve that they will be given proper expression under any circumstances.
 For this reason we have not concern cd ourselves with the question of pre- pairing our boys for any particular kind of service We know that if the funda- . mentals of their training are right. our boys will be equipped for service in any

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

Agent in charge of Boys and Girls Club Work, U. s. Department of Agri- culture, says:
 T wonder If you have had delicious summer squash, beet greens, little sweet tender carrots, lima beans. egz plant, corn on the ear. peas that taste like peas, in January. There is no req son why anone having land to plant a garden should not have all these any many others.
 If the garden Is planned on paper first, there need be no delay later in what, whom and where to plant. The arrangements can be so made that the ground is never Idle from tile time of early planting until late fall. As fast as one vegetable is gone. remove the stalks. stir up the ground. feftilizc and begin again. The ground should be used until late in the fall, for cauli- flower, late spinach and breaSeis sprouts are all delicious canned.
 We need to remember that children will eat thoce vegetables and often they do not like the root crops They must have the mineral clements which are combined in vegetables to help them through me next school year.
