BY-PRODUCT OF SEA-ScOUT
TRAINING.

Sea scouts are, in addition to their
technical water training, learning
something that all good Americans
prize as worth more than diamonds
and gold, namely: judgment.
Judgment In a boat, as nowhere
else on earth, judgment Cor sea judg-
ment) is a prime necessity. Poor
Judgment bangs your schooner boats
nose into the wharf-poor judgment
leaves the water barrels empty, or
worse, rocks the boat, drops oars over
board, or capsizes. Good Judgment
comes to a boy or man only after he
has tried to beat the sharp-eyed old
girl known as Mother Nature, who
has skinned his knuckles, BACKED his
eye. doused him and spanked him. Her
eye is kind on the land, but out on
the water it glitters gray and green,
like the eye of a shark. Look out,
there landlubber! She'll get you sure
if you don't steer a straight course.
But whose afraid?

jumping into the street to pick up

we are impressed by the spirit which

into these lads. Though still just
everyday youngsters, they are little
straighter, little manliertbecause Of
the rigorous discipline Of the boy scout

Der that without the scoutmaster's en-

Of these results could be realized.
There are 1865 scoutmasters in the
United States serving 109,070 boys.
They are busy men, all of them, doc
tors, lawyers, ministers, school teach
ers, business men, bankers, editors,
electricians, photographers, giving
their time, their energy their best
thought and services to scouting. But,
despite all this devoted and patriotic
work the country over, there are hun
dreds of boys wishing to get into scout
ing who cannot do so because there
are not enough leaders-that is, scout
masters.
Let every live, red-bloOded, boy
hearted man in America stop and ask
himself whether he isn't letting a
priceless opportunity pass by him if he
isn't lining up with scouting, doing his
bit for the boys of America who need =

Farmeas Can't Dispense with
Dealers, says County Agent
AMRs, Iowa. Sept. 23.

iS"N' 1NfN -
That local farm bureau organizations y
toofar in the matter Of cooperative buyin
of farm commodities and do injury u
farmers interests by uneconomic competi
ton with existing business is the Opinion
of at least one county agent in Iowa, Clar
!. ence Pickard. OF Humboldt county.
u Mr.. Pick,ld, who formerly believed
that the county agent should lend his as
sistenee to groups OF farmers who, desired
to buy supplies comparatively to be dis
tributed from the car for cash, has altered
his policy due to several experiences with
cooperative buying.
I'VE purchased three cars of Irvine last
wear and two cars Of clover seed this year, :
SAYS Mr.. Pickaru, with such good sup.
port from the farmers as to leave certain
dealers stranded high and dry with these
commodities on hand.
las result. this spring it Was with
some difficulty that the dealers-wee per-
suaded 10 handle Irvine at all. 1t was
pecessary that dealers should carry Irvine,
for some farmers could not pay cash at
the car, many were ia the habit OF waiting
until they ran their binders out bsfore
thinking of Irvine, anu without the dealer
there would be no way to supply odd balls,
for the farm bureau has no storehouses or
distributing system.
1T looks like clever trick at first to
show the dealers up this way, but when
they call our bluff and withdraw from
handling these commodities in which we
have shown them up, then We are stuck,
for we have started something we cant
finish. We are not prepared to give this
service to all kiads of farmers every day
i the year"
As a result Of these experiences Mr..
Packard has altered his policy toward this
problem. Whenever tn, farmers through.
out the county or in any portion of it" he
says, demand the cooperative purchas.
ng of a comm 'dity, we cite them their
privilege of organizing their own coopera-
tive society to free them from the real or
imaginary bondage of the private dealer.
My attitude is that the dealer performs
an indispensable service which, whether
rendered by him or by someone else, must
be paid for bs sonleone in some way. |
believe the farm bureaus should refrain
from country wide buying FOR farmers un-
less they are W, ep4red to 50 all the way
and completely replace the dealer with
reference to the specidas commodity they
are attempting to handTr. The farmers
prerogative of organizing his own coopera-
tive association is a cheek on the dealer. "
