The Y. M. c. A. in Kentucky

o. a civilian army of 1000 boys
between the ages of 16 and q to
fill the places of men called for
service in the national army.
These boys will be asked to VOL
unteer for work on farms during
the school vacation. They will
be enrolled by school teachers.
with the consent of parents, and
any boy who works sc days of 8
houns each on e farm OF 90 days
of 8 hours each in any essential
industry" will be awarded a sell
vice badge, whether the service
be rendered on the farm of his
own parents or working for 9TH
ers. This is a concrete. definite
plan that promises to acc jmplish
something useful, not only for
the boys, but for the farmers,
who will be in need of help this
coming summer, 1t is a plan
that could be worked cut under
the auspices of the Boy Scout or
ganization. 1t is something more
than a ''hOt air" talk, and prom
iSeS to bring results much to be
desired.

Manure Boosts Corn.

In preparation for large corn
crops one of the greatest factors
contributing to high yields or
Congratulated soils is the use of

rains and reinforced with acid
phosphate. During the sprino
months before plowing is posi-
plt this material should be spread

tions can proceed rapidly when
the plows are started. Thirty
five bushels of corn has been Tie

application of eightItons of stall
manure to which was added 800
pounds OF acid phosphate. The
acid phosphate is mixed with the

The new National party which
has been launched at Chicago
starts out with a duplication of
names, il not with a complete
misn0mer. There is already one
nation Il party in very vigorous
existence in this country. The
Republican party is truly nation
al in all its traditions and record;
it has never acted save for the
national Interests; it has never
narrowed its outlook to any sec
ton. It's leaders are men of ma
tional vision and its principles
are those of national import. An
other party may call itself Ma
tional; but it can never excel the
nationalism which is Republican
ism.
