SCOUTS ON THE JOB.

Out in Bellingham, Wash, some
spectators chuckled with approval
over the following incident and re
ported it to the local papers: A
quart bottle of milk had been dropped
in the street and lay splintered into
thousand pieces prepared to do their
worst to all passing tires. Two lads
in khaki happened along" Instantly

INJURIOUS SAN JOSE SCALE
Insect Feeds on Bark OF Apple, Plum
and Other Orchard Trees-it
Spreads Rapidly.

One of the most destructive pests
ever introduced into this country is
the San Jose scale. This insect feeds
upon the bark Of apple, plum and 9th
er orchard trees. 1t has the remark
able faculty OF producing its young
alive and produces immense numbers
OF them each season. Its spread Is
rapid and in one season few WIZ
multiply so as to destroy a whole tree
They are also found on some native
forest trees and are generally dis
tributed all over the country. Some
authorities say that the only effective
way to stamp out this pest If II has
made any considerable Roadway, Is &c
cut the tree and burn it, but such dras
tic treatment should be used only as
last resort

'ne nrst persons we meet when we
ger on the train, to carry our luggage

nave no place engaged they will take
US TO one and see that we are made
comfortable. They can beat the police

watching street crossing or keeping
the streets clear for parade. They
are always on hand with a cool cup

learned to love them. I consider the

FIRST TO WIN GOLD MEDAL

Dale Collier of Rock Island, H., has
the honor Of being the first scout to
win the new gold medal just designed
for the Court Of Honor, by Belmcre
Brown, the explorer. The incident
which won the coveted National Scout
Medal of Honor for young Collier oc-
cured last January.
The boy had just started on an err
rand for his mother when he noticed
three men walking on the ice on the
river. Even as he saw them he per-
ceIyed to his horror that the ice was
breaking beneath them. He ran about
800 yards and found an old boat.
There were no oars but he tnatched
up a piece Of board and jumping into
the boat broke his way through to
where one Of the men was sinking
The boy threw him the board and
pulled the boat fast filling with wa
ter, close to the man, got him into 1t
and back to shore. Then emptylng
out the boat he set out again in search
of the others. This time, not having
even the board to help him, ne beat
bis way through the ice downstream
with his fists. By this arduous process
he finally got to where the other two
men we're. He managed with much
difficulty TO get both into the boat,
which then began to sink from the
weight and having shipped so much
water The men being unconscious,
the boy balled for dear life with his
hands screaming for help. Another
boat reached them in time and all
were gotten ashore. Not content with
his already heroic achievement young
Collier worked over the unconscious
men trying TO induce artificial respira-
ton He succeeded in the case Of
one man but the other who was just
recovering from an Illness never re-
gained consciousness. The story Is
one Of the most striking of the many
noteworthy instances Of scout pluck
and resourcefulness that have passed
through the hands Of the Court Of
Honor and Scout Collier well deserves
the honor accorded him.

DEPLETION OF RANGE GRASS
Injury Caused by Premature Grazing
and Lack Of Utilization Of
Forage Crop.

tFrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.J
Range depletion Is due in a large
measure to premature grazing and to
lack Of uniform utilization Of the for
age crop, Investigations now being car.
ded on al the Great Basin experiment
STATION by grazing specialists in the
forest service Of tie United States De-
parrment Of Agriculture show. These
experiments, which have been con
Quoted over four-year period, have
been for the purpose Of ascertainlng
just how certain range bunch grasses
are affected by different systems Of
grazing.
1t vas found that the yield Of violet
wheat grass when removed by cutting
once in a season, at the time the seed
crop matured, was four and two
tenths times as large as when It was
removed four times in a season and
three and eight-tenths times as large
as when heritage was removed twice
in the season.
Native bronze grass. sn the other
nand, yielded six times as much when
harvested twice during the season.
but the yield from one cutting was
three and three -tenths times as much as
when it was removed four times. This
means in range revegetation that the
grass native there must be taken into
consideration and a system Of grazing
used that IS suitable 70 IL.
The experiments also showed the
striking difference in water content
in heritage as the season advances. In
the LEAKAGE Of the violet wheat grass

seed maturity. the water content aver

late in the season, contained an aver
age moisture content Of 81 per cent,
while plants cropped four times in a
season contained an average Of 70
per cent Of water. Early in the spring

much as So per cent OF water. This
