to interest any one. One old man
passes with his load of crickcts. which

IS A BADGE OF HONOR
Scout Pin Admits to Companionship
of Clean. Decent Boys.

One of the first requirements which
q boy scout must comply with is that
he shall know the significance of the
scout badge. and in compliance with
this he learns that the trefoil refers
to the three points in the scout oath;
that the scroll with upturned ends
suggests a smile, tor "a scout is cheer
full" and the knot is to remind the boy
to do ~ good turn daily"
This Satisfies the requirements OF
the test, but II is in fact only a small
part of the significance OF the scout
badge. IT is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge 1t
meant not much more than Is stated
IN the Handbook, but with every year,
as the movement builds up history and
traditions and n record of things ac-
cornplished the significance of tho
scout badge grows.
To-day the boy who goes to n strange
place wearing a scout badge will not
depend on chance in selecting - his
companions, The scout badge and cor
tificate give an entree to the compan-
ionship of scouts, in other words, IL
leads to the companionship of boys
who are trustworthy and loyal. who
are courteous and clean and reverent
the type OF boy with whom any par
ent is glad to have his boy associated.

HOW TO GET RID OF
CUTWORMS IN THE GARDEN

Mrs. S. j. asks what she can do for
cutworms and slugs in her garden.
I exepect that the answer to this
question has been given many times
elsewhere in the Progressive Farmer,
but because it is so frequently ask
ed I am giving it here.
Take 16 pounds coarse bran, IA
pound Paris green, IA pound sugar,
2 teaspoonful lemon extract. Bran
is much the best, but if you cannot
get it substitute corn meal. White
arsenic is a good substitute for Paris
green and is cheaper; the fresh rind
and Juice of two oranges or lemons
may be used instead of lemon extract
The orange or lemon seems to attract
the insects by taste and scent.
The dry ingredients should be
thoroughly mixed, then the water, to
which the lemon or orange has been
added, mixed with it. Do not get the
material sloppy; it should be just wet
enough to fall apart readily after
pressing together. The objection to
corn meal is that it does not break
into sufficiently small flakes. Scat
ter in the evening as the worms feed
best at night. Sow the material
broadcast over the infested area, get
ting close to each plant. This amount
is sufficient for one acre of land.
Keep chickens away-birds also as
they kill many slugs and other in
sects later.
In setting out tomato, cabbage or
other plants, roll a little collar of
white paper around the plant, extend
ing about an inch below and an inch
above the surface of the soil.-The
