BOY SCOUTS

Troop Number One, local unit Of
Boy Scouts, have received their uni
| forms and are ready for active ser
vice. The people Of Covington should
be proud Of their boys who have en-
tered this organization for their own
betterment, as well as to render
service to others. The history OF
this organization is very brief, since
1T is Of recent origin. The idea OF
scouting was conceived by Lieut. Gen.
| Sir Robert S. S. Baden-Powell, OF
England, following the Bcer war
The Boy Scouts Of America, as the
organization is known today, was
incorporated under the laws Of the
District Of Columbia in 1910, and fol
lowing the same year it was incor-
porated under federal laws Of Con-
gress.
We quote from paragraphs taken
from the pamphlet published by
the above organization on the fun
damentals Of scouting, which set out
the high motive and principles of
the movement, and at the same time
explain what is to be gained for each
bow who enlists in this organiza-
ton:
Scouting is learning by doing. 1t
provides a boy with happy and
healthy outlet for his superintendent
energies. 1t supplies worthwhile
activities for his out-of-school hours.
It gives him something he likes to
do and something worth doing. It
offers incentive for progress and
makes achievement desirable in the
boys own eyes It is positive, con-
structive, an doing, no "don'ting." 1t
furnishes suitable leadership, under
which are developed the boys latent
powers, capacities and tastes. It
makes use Of universal, elemental
boy instincts, gang loyalty, hero
worship, pride of physical prowess,
love Of adventure and the great OUT
doors. The method Of scouting is
not abstract book pedagogy. 1t is
sound, vital, practical. 1t works.
Scouting believes in boy having a
good time. It wants him to have it.
It provides the means Of having it.
indeed, by giving him the finest
game in the world. It wants him
likewise, to develop a strong, sound
body and an alert mind, and it helps
him toward these good goals also.
But underneath all the rest and tram
scending it are the ultimate OBJ
detectives Of character building and
good citizenship. To these ends the
scout is dedicated and these the
scoutmaster should never at any
time forget, for they are fundamen-
tai in scouting. No greater or finer |
service can be rendered by any man |
than to mould, direct and ;nsp;re
impressionable youth to manhood.

SALEM LEAFLETS

Rev. c. B, Belts, who had a
months vacation, returned home last
Friday, after a visit to the Caro-
linas, seemingly much recuperated,
and preached Sabbath morning to an
appreciative audience.
Mrs. Iva Boyce Renfro and chill
dren, who had been on 10-days'
visit to her mother, Mrs. T. G. Boyee,
of Idaville, returned Monday morn
ing to her home in Alligator, Miss.
Miss Irene Faulkner, of Idaville,
has accepted a position in the Plant-
ers Bank at Atoka, where she is now
at work.
A good many of the Idaville and
Salem people attended the Rosemark
community fair last Thursday. Most
Of those attending it express them
selves as highly pleased. We under
stand that few blue ribbons were
awarded to Upton county folks.
Mr.. James Simpson, who, with sew
eral others from this part of the coun-
ty, spent the summer in the Kansas
harvest fields, returned on Monday
evening of last week to the home of
his mother in Atoka, but left the
next day with several others from
this county for Fayetteville, Tenn,
to enter Bryson College.
Mrs. Herbert Harris and children,
Of Munford, spent last week with the
family Of her mother, Mrs. NJ. o..
Faulkner, of Idaville.
/ We are glad to say that under the
supervision of Superintendent ]. w.
Darby there was some splendid road
work done last week on the Atoka
and Idaville road near Salem. hi
fact, it is the best ever done on that
part Of the road. Part of it was
done by the large caterpillar tractor
and grader, cleaning out the side
bitches wider and deeper and widen
ing the road in several places where
it was so narrow vehicles could not
pass. The finishing touches were
then put on by the contractors
grader. We hope the good work will
continue, as most of the roads Of
this district need just such working.
We have been asked to make q
correction in regard to statement
in the Leaflets last week. We de-
sire to say that we do not want to
misquote Intentionally, misrepresent
or knowingly do an injustice to any
one. In the first place, the state
ment was made publicly that Dis
trict No. was badly behind, leav-
ing the idea that the district was
worse than others, and that her citi-
zens we're asking more than some
others, which a number of our good
citizens feel that an.injustice is done
to them, especially in this part Of
No 7. We doubt if there is another
district that has done more gratis
work than some of our citizens here.
So far as inquiry goes here, most of
them say they have paid their com
mutation tax, and several farmers
paid the tax for their hands. Our
informant as to the statement
about the delinquent tax, who IS 4
good substantial farmer, seems to
have gotten the delinquent poll tax
mixed with the delinquent road tax.
and therefore we were mistaken in
the amount uncollected. But still
some think, as was stated last week.
there is q mistake somewhere.

CREAM SHIPPING ON INCREASE

The number Of farmers now ship
ping cream from this county is s5,
with new additions being made
every week. The income from cream
during the month Of August was
over $1,000 and with the increase in
price and in shipments, September
viii no doubt reach the $500 mark.
The time is not far distant when
. cooperative creamery can be es-
tablished in this county. There are
at present . large number Of these
cooperative creameries in Tennessee
and Mississippi that are successful.
BY the establishment Of local
creamery the farmer is eliminating
the last man between himself and
the consumer. He is paid the highest
market price for his cream, with no
transportation charges to pay. The
butter is made up and distributed to
the trade and the cream producer
shares in the profits of the creamery.
It will require the butterfat from
not less than 900 cows to make a
local creamery profitable, and, Of
course, the more cows, the more
profitable the creamery, as It would
mean increased sales, the production
Of more butter with no greater out
lay Of capital and very little addi-
tional labor. A local citizen has
stated that he would invest money
N q creamery when the number Of
cows in the county reached the point
where q plant would pay.
The dairy business in this county
should reach the stage where 4
local creamery is needed by next
summer, The butterfat from over
4OO cows is now being shipped. The
ones who are in the business are
pleased. While the price Of butter
lat was at low ebb during the sum
n1er, It Is recovering rapidly.
Those who are contemplating ell
gaging IN this business should be-
gin this fall in order that they NAV
set the high prices that will in ajlI
probability hold throughout the win
TER months. Another ADVANTAGE II
beginning in the fall with cows that
are freshening now IS that the fresh
ening period will hold the cows bro
dnction up through the winter. and
when the COW is put on the pasture in
the spring the green feed win III
sure the maximum production until
the COW IS fresh again.
A large number Of farmers now
shipping are anxious to add some
first-class dairy cows To their herds
and are now making arrangements
e purchase the best cows that can be
found in Middle Tennessee, the home
Of the good Jersey COW.
The price Of butterfat is now 40l
cents per pound, with indications Of
q steady advance until the high mark
will be reached the latter part Of
the year.

Northw Farming
News and Notes - Compiled BY The Grand Forks Herind
RAISE CATTLE OR GET OUT"

81 wish 1 had eighteen COWS instead
OF the five I have right now. 1t
would pay me better than this wheat
business. We've either got to raise
cattle or get OUT.
Fred Juhl was speaking. He had
been talking with The Herald visitor
the poor crops of wheat being
raised on the older land in the valley
this His own wheat had not
been threshed yet, but he wasn't very
optimistic about what his yield would
be. Mr.. Juhl lives ear Bowesmont
in Pembina county. His farm is the
one generally known as the David
Mcclellan place and is one of the most
beautiful in the county. Its former
owner, David Mcclellan. planted trees
all around the section and between
the quarters, surrounding the entire
place with Norway poplars. and
planting great windbreaks of willows
near the ~barnyard. He was given
a bounty OF. SIS some years ago by
the county for having planted the
greatest number Of trees. The trees
number into the thousands. Mr. Nc
Lellan was among the early settlers
in the state, having come to the
Bowesnont territory and settled or.
this farm with his parents in 1881.

rye, intending to plant sixty acres of

visitor drove along. He was using a
tractor to do the blowing and his
young son was driving a team on the
harrow.
killing Quack Grass.
Il am trying out two methods OF
killing quack grass. One is to plow
with a tractor and follow it immedi-
ately with a spring tooth harrow and
tear the roots right out of the ground.
The other is to skin pillow it and dou-
BILE disc it and then use a Harris Gull
..tivator. I am waiting to see which
method gives the best results and /
will use it. l have got moree quack
grass on the place by blowing deep
than by anything else. In fact that'a
how I got myself into trouble with it.
1 thought the-best way to do was to
pillow it deep. and I have only sue
ceeded in getting the whole place
plastered with it. Il used to pillow six
or seven inches deep. That tore up
the seed beds and scattered them all
over the place. ~,

seed isn't worth much of anything
n more. I still think it's worth while
to raise the clover for the good it does
the land. There is nothing like the
white clover for building up soil that
has been u down by constant wheat
cropping"
Farms Too Big.
How do you think farming in
North Dakota compares with Nebras-
ka I" the visitor asked.
II have been in North Dakota since
1913" Mr.. Juhl said. ''It seems to
me all the farms in North Dakota are
too big. For a real good farm 1
would like to have just $50 acres ana
do it right. If a man looks after zoo
acres he is taking care of all he can
handle SUI essfuIly.
You certainly can't beat North Da-
kota for garden stuff, though. We
have new raised such vegetables
anywhere a. we have raised since we
came here. We have more than we
can possibly use. and Mrs. Juhl has
canned / don't know how much.
We have had more raspberries
and eurrants than we have known
what to do with. and have sold ever
so many quarts of them"
A. Fine Garden.
The garden is truly a wonder place.
Long avenues of plum trees center the
well arranged plot. These were set
out, as were all of the fruit trees. and
the bushes a number Of years ago by
Mr.. Mcclellan. who was an exper,
gardener as well % being one of The
best grain farmers the state ever
produced.
The farm lies along the curving
banks Of the Red river. four miles
from. Bowesmont. The buildings are
all good and are built on the highest
part OF the bank some distance back
from the river. The view is excepe
tionally pretty.
