SCOUT CAMPAIGN
TO START HERE
NEXT MONDAY

Campaign preparations are being
completed this week FOR the annual
Boy Scout drive to raise funds for
the current year, according TO o. q.
Horne, chairman of the finance
committee of the Imperial Yuma
area.
The drive will open throughout
the area on Monday morning,
March 2, and will continue until
the new Economy budget Of
$7400 is raised
In preparing the budget this year,
the finance committee has had TO
take into consideration the fact that
a $1,000 deficit occurred last year.
Nevertheless a rigid curtailment of
overhead expenditures as planned
for the current period will, in the
opinion OF the committee, permit an
actual reduction in the budget.
M. o. King is in charge of the
FL Centre drive. He announces to-
day that his plans are completed for
the drive here and that FL Centro
will "go to bat' to knock out a
"'home rum drive that will tally
the local quota of $1,000 in record
time.
"This annual Boy Scout drive for
funds is nothing more or less than
campaign to build up community
welfare - King declared today
"Within the Imperial-Yuma area
there are thousands of boys who
should be served by the Scout or
ganization. Our actual service
reaches but one in 10 boys OF Scout
age. The average service for the
California. Arizona, Nevada and
Utah region is one boy in five. That
means that Imperial area has
big job ahead.
1--WE are organized now, better
than ever before, to improve the
service here. The Scout leaders are
enthusiastic. They are doing Won
derful work with the boys that are
enrolled. They must have the united
support of all the community TO car
ry on. l am certain that FL Centre
will take the lead among the COM
munities of the valley in this cam
paign and that our workers will have
n real demonstration of community
pride during the campaign that
opens on Monday
Scout Executive II. f. Lounsbury
states that there are 4l0 Scouts en-
rolled in the % troops comprising
the Imperial area. 1--WE want
TO double that number in the next
few months. Our big objective this
year is the direct service OF the Boy
Scout organization to the boys. All
our energies now are being turned
to the development of red-blooded
American boys We hope for the
greatest year in the history OF this
area -

FACES TRIAL HERE
IN LIBRARY THEFT
Malcolm Young, Former
School Teacher, Under Ar
rest in North Carolina.

Detective Sergt. Michael Dowd left
police headquarters today for Newton,
N. c., to bring back Malcolm Young,
26-year -old former District High School
teacher, under indictment here for the
theft of more than 800 books from the
Congressional Library.
Young who was arrested yesterday,
left the books in an apartment house
here, where they we're discovered Feb
ruary "a. He will stand trial at an
early date.
Mr. Young's service as teacher in
the Mckinley High School was termi-
mated at the close of his probationary
year in Office when, it was reported by
his superior officers in the school sys-
tenn, he failed to come up to the de-
manded standards. Young subsequently
appealed to the Board of Education
against termination of his services,
charging. through the newspapers, that
he was being discharged" because he
objected to the principle of military
training in the cadet corps.
In the official hearing before the
School Board, however, no mention was
made of Young's objections to the
cadets. The case against him was based
entirely upon his alleged inability to
maintain discipline, his failure to keep
students records and, in general, his
failure to serve satisfactorily the pro-
stationary teaching period.

geography into the calculation and
Seattle is nearest. Los Angeles is second

the so-called great circle route Seattle
is only 1885 miles from New York
Los Angeles is 2,440, and San Fran

Duluth, up to within a few miles of
the Canadian border, and then down
to Seattle, 100 miles from the border"

Begin Preparations
for Spring Planting
If Plans Are Well Laid Bet
ter Crop Will Result.

"Now Is the right time to begin
preparations for the spring rush Of
planting" says e. G. Blair, extension
agronomist at the North Carolina
State college. IF plans are well laid
now and put into action without de-
lay, q better crop will result. There
are many important factors that con-
tribute to good yield, such as soil
fertility, proper fertilization, good
seed, good cultivation, and good sea-
sons; but other things being any
where nearly equal, the crop that is
planted on time will always outyield
one planted too late.
"Fall and winter blowing is the first
step to take. ALI fields not growing
cover crops should be well broken as
soon as soil conditions will permit
Winter freezes will pulverize these
fields much better and cheaper than
can be done with harrows in the
spring.
"The farmer who is following a
definite crop rotation already knows
how many acres of each crop he will
have in the spring, and on what fields
each crop is to be planted. This prac-
tice should be followed by all farm.
ers to enable them to plan intelli-

rooted straw shed is better than none,
but often a shed does not give full

Consider annual cost over q period
of years rather than first cost, and
use the materials at hand which will

The long narrow type of shed is

Heavy Dat Yield
Costs Few Cents
At Least Five Additional
Bushels to Acre May Be
Had by Testing Seed.

Two and a half cents worth of for
maldehyde may add at least FIVE addi-
tiOnal bushels to the acre Oat yields
on many farms.
This is the average cost of treating
for smut enough seed oats to sow an
acre. This disease causes large an
nual damage to the crops, taking a
toll on some farms of as much as 10
out of every 100 bushels of grain, &C.
cording to r. e. Vaughan, plant dis
ease specialist at the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture.
Treat Barley for Smut.
Barley may also be treated with
farmaldehyde for smut. A pint or
pound Of the formaldehyde, obtain
able at most drug stores, Is added to
35 gallons of water. This solution
may be sprinkled on the seed or the
seed may be soaked in 1t for five min
utes. Both methods give satisfactory
results, Vaughan reports.
When preparing the seed for treat
ment, 1t should be thoroughly famed
In order to remove the light-blighted
kernels, smut spores and dirt. After
treating, the grain should be covered
for two hours and then dried by
spreading in on a clean strip of can
vas. While the seed is damp, Vaughan
cautions that care should be taken
that 1t does not freeze nor heat, as
either one of these conditions injure
its termination power.
Seed Ready to Sow.
The seed is ready to SOW in II to "a
hours after treatment. Ii freshly
treated seed is sown, Vaughan says
the seeder should be opened so that
three-f0urths bushel more oats and
one-half bushel more barley are sown
to an acre than usual, this due to the
fact that the seed has swollen during
the treating process.

Feed Fowls Yellow Corn
for Production of Eggs

Yellow corn is proving superior to
white corn In rations for egg produc-
ton. 1t is also much better for growing
chicks. The beneficial effects of yell
low corn are thought to be due to the
fact that it Is richer than white corn
In vitamine A, a substance essential
for normal growth of chickens.
When the hens ration is deficient
in vitamine A she is likely to develop
leye trouble similar to roup, and lay
fewer eggs which would hatch poorly
If incubated.
If white corn is fed, the vitamine
A deficiency may be corrected In q
ration for hens by feeding green feed
at the rate of one cubic inch per hen
per day. Baby chicks cannot eat
enough green feed to completely cor
rect the vitamine A deficiency If
white corn Is fed. The deficiency can
be supplied to chicks by adding cod
liver oil to the mash at the rate of
2 per cent by weight.
