Scouting Has
Received A
New Impetus
Local Scouters Attended the
Central Minnesota Area
Session
REORGANIZE LOCALLY
Admonished To Guide Boys
In Right and Interesting
Activities

Scouting is fundamentally a
group of boys associated with a
man Of the right character-and
they grow together" said w. s.
Block addressing a group Of 125
Scouters of the Central Minnesota
Area who met Monday evening In
Brainerd to study the technique for
giving better Scouting to Scouts of
this section. This kindly-eyed, gray
haired Minneapolis Commissioner,
associated with Region 10 and
World Jamboree Scouting, has been
interested in the Scouting since it's
inception in this state. The meet
ing was under the guidance Of Mr..
Jerde, st. Cloud Teachers College,
as President of the Central Mime
sofa Council.
Ten men from Sank Centre at
tended and were divided into the
panel discussions that followed the
dinner and general meeting. r. B.
Kowalke, member of the Executive
Board of this Area, was head of
the discussion on civic service, a
relatively new field in the Scout
ing program. Other men attending
were assigned to the following
groups: Camping-Carl Fischer;
Court of Honor-H. S. Forsyth ;
Health and Safety-R. G. Vandes-
teeg: Organization-G. r. Easton;
Rural Scouting-Lester Wruck;
Leadership Training. T. Lovik;
Senior Program-George Berg
green; Financed. B. Caughren
and Educational Publicity-Chuck
Rattle. Only two delegations sur
passed the local delegation in size:
Brainerd, the host with IA men, and
Swanville with IL representatives
In each of these panel discussions
an able leader in that field brought
UP questions and delved into the
problems of the best known meth.
DDS for performing that particular
phase of Scouting.
Admonishing men for not getting
into Scouting because they have
not the ability Mr.. Block made the
opening statement that man and
boys grow together. The position OF
the leader is not to head every ac.
tivity but only to guide these boys
in the right activities. To show the
power that the 1926 men Of Central
Minnesota interested in Scouting
and the 998 Scouts they help to live
the Scout life Mr.. Block cited ar
example. Let every Scouter call out
all Scouts some morning and arm
each with a rock, he said. At an ap.
pointed hour let each boy release
the rock at a window. The crash
would resound over the country
side and the news would flash tc
all parts of the world. The power IL
there but patience is what Scout
ing needs. It must speak for itself
through the boys in the organiza
ton, he concluded.
Mr.. Block was introduced BY
Kenneth Bense, Regional Executive
| of Region 10, comprising parts o.
six states, who explained the pur
pose of the meeting in a sentence
The men are gathered to study thu

So it is, he said, with Scouting. Al
of them learn-few find perfection

Soil Testing
Service For
Co. Farmers
Made Available Through
Farm Bureau Service
Company
MUST SEND SAMPLES
In The Past Testing of Soils
Mas Been Prohibited
By Costs

For the first time in history a
rather compete soils testing service
is being made available to farmers
of the country through the county
Farm Bureau and the county Farm
Bureau Service company. For many
years farmers have requested that
soil tests be made on their particu-
lar soil. The only test available
without cost was an acidity test or
test for the limestone content of
acid soils. Since most Stearns coun-
ty soils were not deficient in lime
stone this particular test had little
value as far as the county Is con-
cerned. Now, however, through the
Farm Bureau soil testing program,
a test for the amount Of available
phosphate and the amount of avail
able potash is possible.
Folks wanting to take advantage
of this test should communicate
with the county extension service or
the Farm Bureau Service company
at st. Cloud to get the detailed in
structions as to how to get the SAM
pie for testing and the package in
which to place the sample for mail,
/ ing. In general the instructions for
taking the sample are as follows:
1. Take a clean bucket and SHOW.
ell. Pail must be clean.
2. Spade a hole plow depth.
8. Take oneIhalf inch slice of
side Of hole and place in bucket
Take similar slices from 10 places
in field or from any one soil type
Mix thoroughly in bucket.
4. Take enough soil from the
mixed sample to fill this bag hall
| full.
5. Caution: Sample must be dry
If sample is wet, spread on paper
to dry before placing in this bag.
6. Fold over top of bag and tit
with string.
When the sample has been dried
it should be placed in the package
for that purpose and the informa
ton on the other side showing the
name, town and county should bt
completed.
In time past the chemical tests
for getting the amount of available
| poCdoii VI bilC ooiis
have been prohibited by the cos
and since the service was not avail
able through the agricultural col
lege of the department of chemists
at the University such tests had Il
be made by private chemists ant
: few farmers ever took advantage
of 1t because Of the cost. Under the
new plan one sample Is tested fret
fos Farm Bureau members and any
additional tests are zoe each. Fol
non-members the cost for the tes
is 3Oc. For several reason the tes
on the nitrogen content Of the sol
Is omitted. Most important Of these
Is that the nitrogen supply In sol
can be most economically built W
by the growing of the various lie
gumes. Only in extreme cases fol
general farming purposes Is tht
purchase of commercial fertilizer:
ever recommended to build up nj
trogen content of soils. It can b.
done so much more cheanlv bv {
program of soils conservation wher,
legume crops are grown In ampl'
acreage that the county extension
service has seldom recommended
the purchase Of nitrate fertilizers.

To Meet ST. Johns
Prep School Friday
~" Grid VIII Be Scene of Clash
Between johnny Students
And Sank Centre

Hitting the road again Har-
vey's Rovers are at q point
Friday afternoon that will
either ease them out In front
with three wins, or will snudge
them back with as many losses.
That afternoon they go to the
campus Of St Johns Univer-
sity where they meet the Prep
squad I'm . game for which final
arrangements were completed
only this week.
Retracing their footsteps
this season we find them losing
to q club that they should have
defeated-AIbany downed them
7 to 6. Up came Alexandria, un-
defeated, touted to romp over
the Main Strceters and surpris-
ingly Alex had a tough time
beating them Is to 0. The lads
began their winning streak
then against Foley, when they
took that club Is to 6 in q game
packed with humorous situa-
lions. The local line thought the
Long Prairie backfield was SO
good they decided to play with
them and were back there all
afternoon when the Harveymen
defeated that club IL to 0. They
have, in spite of the split on
games, out pointed their oDpon-
ents. Totaling the opponents
record they have % points,
while the Streeters have pulled
out ahead with 81.
just what is the strength of
the st. Johns club Is unknown.
But they'll have to have both a
strong line and a fast, shifty
backfield to gain consistently on
that beefy line that leads the
Sank Centre attack. This game
was scheduled when a tentative
date with Starbuck was defin-
itely cancelled by that school
