Methods for controlling tbs hiss

tons may be summarized as follows:
Sow the best OF seed In thoroughly
prepared, fertile soil after the major
portion of the fall brood has made its
appearance and passed out OF exist
ence. and, II possible, SOW on ground
not devoted to wheat the preceding
year.
While 1t may seem far fetched" 10

urs the enrichment Of the soil, fer
tile soil will produce plants that Will
withstand with little- injury attacks
that will prove disastrous to plants
growing on an impoverished or thin
soil. This Is because fertile soil will
enable an infested plant to tiller
freely, and these tiliers will have sum
eisnt vitality to withstand the winter
and send UP head-produeing stems In
the spring. II Is also chiefly on the
thin or impoverished soils that the

Century-EndurIna Bridges.

If the United States has vanished
like the Roman empire five centuries
or ten centuries hence, any Chinese or
other yellow antiQuarians digging into
the ruins of this city can find remark
able evidence Of golden age Of monu-
mental bridge builders right In Phila-
delphia, asserted Chief Engineer
George s. Webster of that city. He
issued a description Of some COM
ments on 80 such bridges constructed
in recent years which will endure for
centuries. The same comments ap-
ply TO sewers. He said:
"The construction employed today.
at a reasonable increase in first cost,
adds far more than proportionately to
the beauty, permanence and final econ
omy of the bridge.
Where the head room and founda-
lions permit, an arch bridge Of con.
crete is built, and this should last at
least five centuries, with possibly re-
pairs to the lighter and more orna'
mental portions, such as the open bal
ustrades, after, say, a century. Bare
steel is now used only where the
weight of concrete is prohibltive."

Halt the Battle Before Planting

With wheat a. with many other
crops, the proper treatment OF the
seedbed and the supplying Of plant
food to carry along the crop with q
good start and a steady growth, may
be considered half the battle. AS
wheat Is not cultivated after seeding,
whatever cultivation is necessary must
be done before the seed Is put into

HOW THE Roy
 SCOUTS MAY HELP.
Could Assist in First Aid Work and
 Provide Apparatus.

Communications from headquarters have been received by all scout execu- tives urging that each local troop take steps promptly to have every scout ofhcial thoroughly informed as to what Boy Scouts will do In case of war Boy Scouts are too young to be called on for any military purposes. or for the use of grearms. or to fill posi- tions involving physical danger to themselves. They are, too young to undertake any service requiring their absence from home over night, but 1t may be that they could be of serylce in many ways, such as by doing mes senger work, assist at base hospitals, signaling, etc. The scouts could tn- roll bandages, assist in first aid work, furnish first aid dressings, tents, cots and other apparatus. It is not the poll icy of the council to order any scout to do service. but give him the oppor tunity to serve and ask him to volun- .eer. Each scout has given his pledge on his honor to do his best, to do his duty to God and his country. In the event of war it has, been suggested to offer to the mayors of the various cities, should any emergency develop for which Boy Scouts have been training and which would not be a1e- quately met by the normal resources of the other municipal or civic organ
 All the Norwich troops are doing individual work on first aid. It is planned to have weekly practice in semaphore and Morse signaling. There is also under consideration by the scoutmasters' round table plans by which the Norwich scouts may be quickly assembled at any particular place in case of emergency.
 Publicity has been given to the eo- called defense of the city hall, New York, by the United States Boy Scouts with statements as to their armament It is true that small group of cadets called United States Boy Scouts made up largely of boys between the ages of and 19 years, mobilized re- gently at city hall with guns. Their youthful appearance made it apparent TO all present the absurdity of their claims as to any real merit or value in their undertaking or nature of their program as eontrasted with the pro- gram of the Boy Scouts of America Persistent effort is being made to capitalize this incident in an appeal for "a fund of a million dollars. This is a remnant of the Hearst organization known as the American Boy Scouts which has been confined practically to New York city.
