SCOUTS
DESERT BOY TO BE A SCOUT
Icted by National Council Of th'
Boy Scouts of America.)

A letter from the hot desert stretches
near Lund, Utah, aroused the interest
of scout officials in Salt Lake City. 1t
was written by woman from the dis
trict in the interest of a lad "who
shows an interest in everything good"
and whom the writer declares is too
bright to become merely struggling,
half-starved farmer on the desert.
The writer had recently read a story
Of lad just turning twelve who was
about to attain his ambition of be-
coming scout. Believing that scout
ing might be the very channel through
which the little hero of the desert
might be lifted into a bigger life, she
asked for any scout literature for the
boy.
Scout Executive Oscar Kirkham has
written in reply that the lad may be-
come a pioneer scout without affilia-
ton with any troop; that there is a
scout magazine published for the boys,
and that the boy may become a can
didate for scout membership by COM
municating with New York headquar-
ters of the national organization. Mr..
Kirkham declares that he feels there
is now another worthwhile convert
made to scout activities in the little
farmer of Lund.

PUT UP FIGHT FOR BROOD
Old White Hen Proved Herself Worthy
of the Best Traditions of the
Barnyard.

We usually think of roosters as
proverbial fighters and of hens as de-
cidedly lacking in spirit. On occasion.
however, the hens can be as brave as
the bravest. / once witnessed, writes
a subscriber, an exhibition of courage
on the part of hen that deserves to
be recorded.
She was a white topknot of eccen-
tric disposition, which is one way Of
saying that she preferred to select
her own nests. She chose the spare
room bed for that purpose, and had
accumulated four eggs before she was
discovered and ignominiously shooed
out Of the window. Highly indignant.
she disappeared under the barn.
whence she emerged several weeks
later with eleven chicks.
Beyond introducing the eleven into
the kitchen one day when the door had
| inadvertently been left open, Madam
White displayed no more eccentricity
than any other hen. But one day there
arose a mighty uproar in the back
yard. Such a cackling, squawking and
peeping surely portended dire calam-
ity. We rushed to the door just in
time to see a hawk getting the sur
prise of his life. He had evidently
swooped down for one of the chick
ems, and Madam White, with beak and
claws and wings, was giving him q
drubbing that threatened permanently
to disable him.
Suddenly a dark shape swept down
to the ground, there was a piercing
peep, and Madam White turned to see
the hawks mate in the act of seizing
one of her brood. Quick as thought
she flew to the rescue. Up into the
air went the hawk, and with it went
Madam White. The hawk tried its
best to shake her off, but the heI
hung on, fighting desperately, until thu
hawk was forced to drop the CHECKER
and beat a retreat.
Madam White came to earth with {
thud and a flop, gathered her fiocl
about her, and retired to the shelte
of the currant bushes, where she talk
ed about the occurrence in guttural
for some time. Neither of the cap
tured chickens sustained any seriou
injury. and the old grenadier brough
the entire brood to maturity.-Youth'

was ever before me as 1 advanced-a
bravely pathetic face, wonderfully
womanly in its girlish contour-ap-
pealing to every impulse of my man
hood. 1 admitted the truth of what
she said-it had been largely love of

youth, which had brought me here.
But this was my inspiration no longer.
l had begun to realize that something
deeper, more worthy, now held me to
the task. What this was / made no
attempt to analyze- possibly did not
dare-but, nevertheless, the mere con-
ceptiOn of deserting her in the midst
of this wilderness was too utterly re-
pugnant for expression. No, not that

that.

This unexpected discovery came to
me like a blow; the very breath
seemed to desert my lungs, as l
stared down at the vacant stream. We
had been outgeneraled, tricked, and all
our theories as to what had occurred
were wrong. The duty we had per-
formed to the dead had cost us our
own chance to escape. Instead of be-

Queer Nest.

"Sunfish venture close to the shore
to lay their eggs and guard them," says
DIR. E. F. Bigelow in Boys Life. This
is a strange fact. They begin in the
southern part of our country in April,
and may be found farther north in
the summer preparing a circular nest
in the sand by removing all the twigs,
plants and debris from sunny spot
about as large as ones head. Then
by swaying her body the female re-
moves the sand and gravel to a depth
of from three to four inches. Exactly
how is this digging done? Is some of
the sand and gravel taken in the fish's
mouth? 1t is interesting to note what
cozy places these nests occupy. Such
spots are sometimes like miniature
houses as the aquatic plants are so
close together at the top that one may
we'll imagine them to form windows
for sun parlors. When the young are
hatched the sunfish, like the bullhead,
guards the nest against all intruders." "

pounds of coarse gray rock salt. Mix
this salt very lightly with the top ice
and directly on top of it place more
crushed ice until the bunker is full.
Then add the remainder of the calcu-
lated amount of salt, which, in this
case, would be 450 pounds. Mix It
very lightly with the fine ice so that
the salt does not penetrate into the
mass of ice more than 4 or inches;
level the surface and quickly close the
matches.
Right Temperature Is "a Degrees.
with both bunkers so iced and salt
ed, the car should stand for "a hours.
Then. in order to- make sure that the
temperature is right for loading, man
provided with a thermometer should
enter as quickly as possible by open
ing one side of one dor, which should
be tightly closed Immediately. The
man should stand midway between the
doors holding the thermometer about
feet from the floor until the mercury
has responded to the car temperature,
which ordinarily is accomplished in
from three to five minutes, depending
on the quality of the thermometer. The
temperature of the car at this point
should not be above "a degrees F.
If it is more than SO degrees at this
point, it is dangerous to load the car
for a haul requiring intensive refriger-
alton. Unless the shipper is willing
to take chances on the condition in
which his load will arrive at the mar
ket, he should communicate with the
railroad agent and request car which
is able to refrigerate the dressed poul
try properly.
"All refrigerator cars. should be pro-
vided with a floor rack inches in the
clear, built of lengthwise stringers
made from by lumber and crosswise
Stats made from 1 by 8 lumber. with
liz inch spaces between. These cross
wise Stats are nailed to the lengthwise
stringers. They do not interfere with
trucking the load into the car. They
| should extend across the doorway.
since it is this part of the car which
is hardest to refrigerate and where
air circulation is most needed. All
railroad owned refrigerators as rapid
ly as possible are being equipped with
racks which are fastened to the side
walls so that they can be turned back
| for cleaning"

URGE UNITED FIGHT
ON EUROPEAN B0RER
Insect Is Serious Menace to
American Agriculture.
Has Become Well Established in Both
Massachusetts and New York.
Most Energetic Measures Fa-
Vored for Eradication.

prepared by the United States Depart
inert of Agriculture.)
The European corn borer undoubt-
edly is a serious menace to American
agriculture. The United States de-
partment of agriculture has for some
time called attention to the extreme
danger from this pest, which has be-
come well established in both Massa-
chusetts and New York. Now comes
this reinforcement. of that judgment:
"We, the National Association of
Commissioners of Agriculture, with
official entomologists from many
states and Representatives of the
United States department of agrieul-
ture, together with representatives
of the Canadian government, present
as experts in conference upon the sit
uation, express ourselves, after
examining the infested area, as thor
oughly convinced that this pest is one
of the most dangerous insects which
has become established in America,
and we hereby place ourselves on
record in favor of most energetic eff
forts on the part of federal and state
agencies to control and, if possible,
to exterminate this insect, including
in the program vigorous quarantines
to prevent it's distribution.
That is part of the resolutions
adopted by the European Corn-borer
conference, begun at Albany, N. T.,
on August % and concluded at Bos-
ton, Mass, an August 30. The state
commissioners of agriculture, state
entomologists and others went over
the corn fields around Schenectady,
N. Y, and Boston, Mass, and saw the
methods of destruction practiced by
the United States department of agri-
culture and the state agencies, to-
gether with the damage caused by
| the borer.
The commissioners of agriculture
returned to their states convinced OF
the reality of the peril and of the
necessity of unifying all efforts to pro-
| tect the farmers of the country from
| a destructive insect that may quickly
spread over very large areas unless
most energetic control work is done
on a large scale.

WHAT THE SCOUTS DO.

The boy scouts of Troop No. 2 of
Sheridan, Ill.,, report among their
good turns the clearing from walks of
snow during winter, clearing limbs
from streets after storm and moving
weeds on vacant lots.
At contest in Asbury Park, n. J.,
scout tent was offered to the troops
that came from the farthest point and
another to the disappearing troop.
Troop No. $50 of Manhattan, COM
posed of Chinese boys, took both
prizes.
During the summer the boy scouts
of Holdenville, Okla, formed them
selves into four platoons and each
went in a different direction from the
city and helped the farmers to ship
out their cotton and peanuts.
Perpetual snow has been found in
prospect holes near the Bowen camp
of the boy scouts in Montana. 1t is
winter following the digging of the
holes and has remained there ever
| since. In fact the scoutmasters claim
that it will remain there until the
holes cave in and cover it up, when it
will be absorbed by the soil.
In Waycross, situated in the "Wire-
grass District" of Georgia, 100 boys
took the scout oath and law and over
night became full-fledged scouts. At
lanta scouts sent their heartiest con-
gratulations to this enterprising town.
Although the boy scouts did not par
ticipate very heavily in the harvesting
in Kansas, they came in for quite a
little praise from the agricultural au-
thorities. Things developed so that
the required labor was obtained" said
a high state official "but the scouts
were standing by, ready to take up
the hoe and pitchfork If things came
to a crisis"

prise. The negro might have been
asleep outside and met his death In
an attempt at escape, but the old
white man, finding fight impossible,
had fought desperately to the last and
had killed one antagonist before re-

SCOUTS AS PRIMITIVE ARTISTS.

Des, Moines boy scouts are in a fair
way to become rivals of the Indians
ard Mexicans in the art of pottery
making.
Only the scouts do not use clay.
They employ sandstone, found at "The
Ledges," the summer camp of the
scouts, near Boone, in shaping pitch
ers, match-cases, bowls, plaques and
dozen other different articles that
connoisseur would rave over.
Gilbert Fl. Gendall, boy scout ex-
ecutive, has display table in his Of
flee filed with the handicraft of the
young sandstone artisans.
The contour and design were &C
quired by using a harder surfaced
stone on the sandstone.
One enthusiastic business man Of
fered 500 for supply of the articles.
Some of the youthful shapers of

Scrupulous care in preceding re-
frigerator car for shipping dressed
poultry, always a matter of impor-
tance, is doubly so now, in the opinion
of food-research experts. The greater
necessity for care comes, in the first
place, of the fact that there is a ma
tion-wide ice shortage. The second
important element is that, following
the stress of wartime transportation,
the refrigerator equipment of the coun-
try is in a rundown condition. The
car should be carefully examined, the
experts say, to see that it admits not
even pin point of light. Then it
should be tested and, if it fall short of
standard, there should be no hesita-
ton about rejecting it and calling on
the railroad agent for a car that will
meet the requirements. Extreme care,
the experts believe, is essential just
now for the preservation of poultry in
transit, and the chief of the depart
ment's food research laboratory has
just issued the following definite in
formation as to how satisfactory re-
suits are to be attained:
Select Car Day Before Loading.
"When the refrigerator car is set for
icing, enter it and with doors and
matches tightly closed look carefully
for any crack or point of daylight.
The car should be absolutely black
with not pin point of light anywhere.
If there are distinct cracks around the
doors or matches, the car will not main
tain sufficiently low temperature and
should not be iced for the hauling of
dressed poultry or any other commod-
ity requiring ice and salt refrigeration.
Be sure also that the drain pipes are
open and in good working order.
1.-THE selected car should be set for
icing at least a hours before it is to
be loaded. Its bunkers should then
be filled three-quarters full with finely
broken ice; that is, no piece should be
larger than a mans fist. When the
bunkers are three-quarters full, tamp
! the ice down well so that all cracks
and crannies are filled. Then add one
quarter of the calculated amount OF
| salt on the u per cent basis. For in
! stance, if the bunker holds 5,00O
pounds of ice, when three-quarters full
it will contain $3.50 pounds. On top
of this amount of ice scatter 15O

TREES GROW BEST ON SLOPES

Steep slopes are exposed to compara-
lively rapid erosion and here trees
do the best. Level ground indicates
old soil, old in the sense that it was
derived from rock, as a rule, longer
ago than soil found on steep slopes.
Old soil probably contains an excess
of soluble Salts. too much for best
tree growth.
In the mountains one sees the steep
slopes clothed with trees, while the
occasional fiat spot is likely to be
bare of trees. The toughest areas on
the farm present the most favorable
localities for successful tree growing.
