With the aid of Mr.. H. c. Benson,
detaHed by the department of agricul-
ture; Mr.. Hal b. Fullerton of the
Long Island railroad, known as the
chief grub scout, and the help and en-
enlargement of thousands of other
men in the United States, great strides
have been made in the campaign to
increase the 1917 crop.
In various parts of the country Boy
Scouts, in addition to taking part in
planting, participated in activities to
arouse public interest and thought as
to the seriousness of the situation. In
many places monster parades and dem
Onstrations have taken place, the
scouts carrying hoes, rakes and other
garden implements and displaying ap-
prOpriately wOrded placards.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, when asked
for an expression of opinion regarding
