SCOUTS MAKE MOTOR RECORD

Fifty Of the Boy Scouts of America
from Akron, O., are completing a rec
ord transportation stunt touring the
country. One Of the objects of this
trip is to demonstrate how quietly
troops may be carried with full equip
ment in mOtortrucks from the interior
to the coast.
Starting from Akron, O., the run to
New York was made in exactly Al
hours elapsed time, and Boston Com
mon was reached in 81 hours. A fast
commissary truck speeds ahead and
prepares the meals. tagging the motor
truck train as it comes up the road.
The four large trucks are provided
with sleeping accommodations for the
so scouts and the 81 others in the
party, and no stops are made, the
hunks being made up ut nightfall and
the scouts getting all their sleep ON
the road.
The return trip from Boston was
made more slowly, the scouts being
given chance to see all the objects
Of interest and to give the public a
demonstration In scouting. At Wash
ington they had an appointment at the
White House, when President Wilson,
who is the honorary president Of the
organization, talked to them.
There are 1900 Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea in Akron, in 65 troops, and each
year the so leading scouts are given
an outing by P. w. Litchneld. presi-
dent Of the Akron scout council. Last
year the boys were taken to Michigan.
and this year the objective Of the trip
was Mr.. Litchfield's summer home at
Green Harbor near Boston.

SCOUTS AID AIRPLANE MAIL.

When the airplane mail service start

Finding that nowhere near the re-

short notice, the officials asked the
Washington scout headquarters for as
distance.
In an incredibly short time 200
scouts on bicycles were modified. and
in IS minutes every piece Of mail was
delivered. They took the messages for
the president, members Of his cabinet
and other government officials.
The fee, eight cents per delivery,
was refused in every case.

food conservation measure which will
also contribute very materially to the
prosperity of the state.
Benefit Of Eradication.
The benefit to be derived from Grad
icating the tick is shown by the i'm
proved conditions after quarantine has
been lifted. Restrictions on shipments
Of cattle have been removed. the loss
from tick fever has been eliminated.
more cattle are being raised, and a
better grade Of breeding stock is be-
ing introduced. Calves grow faster,
cattle put on flesh more rapidly dur
ing the grazing season and 60 into the
winter in better condition because Of
the absence of the tick. Dairy cows
give a greater yield Of milk. and the
values of farm land are enhanced. In
appearance the cattle show q marked
contrast since the tick has been Grad
icated. Pure-bred cattle have been
brought in from other sections to I'M
prove the native breed without any
loss from fever. The Southern ami
mails can enter the show ring Of the
North without restrictions.
Result In Mississippi.
In Mississippi, the first Southern
state to have all its territory removed
from quarantine, which opened a
wedge to the gulf, the statewide eradi-
cation law. passed in 1915, is regard
ed by many as one Of the most pro-
gressive pieces of legislation enacted
in the state for many years. The Mis-
sissippi commissioner Of agriculture
says that II the necessity for such a
law had been realized four years prior
to its passage. Mississippi would no
doubt be the greatest cattle-producing
state in the Union at the present time.
The people who were responsible for
getting this law on the statute books
foresaw the possibilities for the per-
manent development Of Mississippi's
resources and turning into profit the
abundance Of pasture grass which had
annually gone to waste or was eaten
by unthrifty cattle to make blood to
feed ticks.
Work In Louisiana.
Louisiana passed statewide tick
eradication law In 1917, and at the
time 1t was under consideration plant
ers, cattlemen and others throughout
the state hastily sent to their various
lawmakers q food Of kilograms urg-
ing them to support the measure. This
statewide law did not become effec-
tive until the first of last April. Rec
ords show that during March 250.OOO
clippings were made under state or
federal supervision, while in April the
figures leaped to 100000 and in
creased to over 100000 during each
of the following two months. Louis
lana demonstrated that a state cannot
afford to wait on q few uniformed
stOckmen who are opposed to dipping
cattle and who have failed to advise
themselves Of the benefits to be de-
rived from complete eradication.
The entire South is looking forward
with confidence to an era Of great
prosperity in the cattle industry as
the net gradually closes around the
last cattle tick.

European foulbrOOd-a disease Of

is often confused with American foul
brood, though 1t is a distinct disease
and requires different methods Of
treatment. That beekeepers may be-

European FOulbrOod." When strong

disease appears because Of an absence
of some of these precautions certain
remedial measures described In the
bulletin, should be put into practice.
Symptoms of European foulbrood
are variable. color being perhaps the
most constant symptom. The earliest
indications of the disease are slight
yellow or gray discoloration. and the
uneasy movement of the larva In the
cell. As the decay Of the infected cells
proceeds the color changes to a decided
yellow or gray. A symptom OF the
greatest importance is the fact that
the disease attacks drone and queen
