BOY SCOUTS TO
EXTEND THEIR
CUB PROGRAM

A program to extend the Clubbing
program of the Boy Scouts Of Ameri-
ca throughout the Del-Mar-Va Council
has been announced by DIR. Ernest B.
Benger of Wilmington, Chairman OF
the Council Clubbing Committee. A
Clubbing Institute, to be conducted by
national Boy Scout officials, will be
held ut the Hotel DUPONT in Whining
ton April 1916 for men Of Del-Mar-
Va peninsula communities, rs well as
others from Philadelphia, Chester and
Baltimore.
Clubbing is the fastest growing
younger boy program in the country
today, with q nationwide enrolment
of 100000 boys aged 9, 10, and IL
years. The Organization is similar to
that of a Boy Scout Troop, with spec
ial emphasis on small neighborhood
groups of boys under the leadership
of older Boy Scouts. A close connec-
ton is maintained with the boys
homes, and parents actively assist IN
carrying out the Clubbing program.
Delegates from service clubs, Par
ent-Teacher Associations and church
groups are urged to participate in the
weekend Clubbing Institute. AS re-
suit of information gained at the
conference, it is planned to proceed
with the organization Of many new
Cub Packs, to supplement the Coun-
CHS present four Packs in Whining
Ton, Hillcrest and Marshalltown, Della
ware; and Chestertown, Maryland.
Additional information regarding
the Institute may be secured from
Field Scout Executives C. r. Andreas,
Jr., at Dover, Howard A. Solomon, at

You Eat Ton of Food in Year,
With Emphasis on Dairy Items

THICAGO.-The food the av-
~ erage American eats in a
year, equal to almost a ton and
more than ten times the aver
age weight of an adult, was
piled up for display before a
group of young vegetable grow
ers here recently.
The merchandise was as
sembled in actual quantity at
the annual banquet of the Junior
Vegetable Grocers' association dur
ing their convention.
On the basis of figures compiled
from official sources, the average
American consumes nearly his own
weight in meat alone-using $50
pounds as an average weight.
Heavy on Dairy Products.
Likewise, if you maintain an aver
age consumption, you'll consume
your weight three times over, at
least, in dairy products, which lead
the list in tonnage" Much of this
is in fluid form, the balance in
butter, ice cream, matted milk and
similar products.
The young vegetable growers, who
were guests of the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea company at this
years banquet, were particularly in
terested in the assembled mass of
fresh and canned vegetables which
statistics indicate the average
American consumes annually. Pota-
toes of course lead in this division,
with a per capita consumption of
las pounds. Other items in the vege-
table division, such as sweet pota-
toes, peas, corn, beans, spinach,
carrots, lettuce, tomatoes and all
the others, reach to a volume close
to the weight of an average adult.
All grains consumed, in the form
of bread, cereals and in liquid form,
treble the weight of the average
adult.
We're Eating More Fish.
Figures indicate that fish con-
sumption is gaining. The figure
used includes fresh and salt water
fish, canned fish, frozen fish and all
the various items such as oysters,
crabmeat, Holsters and so on. The
quick freezing process which per-
mits shipment to inland points of
salt water fish is credited with bring
ing about some of the increase in
demand.

day of the banquet. Thirty-five

EUen Lawyers Stumped at
Meaning of Many Documents

An exposition of all of the phases
of such problem as government
rules and regulations is extremely
difficult. Comparatively few law
yers in Washington can understand
all of the intricate language and
purposes of the piles of printed
documents that emerge every day
from federal agencies, and these
lawyers, or many of them, have
devoted lives to constant study of
such stuff. Imagine for yourself,
therefore, what a fix you, unframed
in law, would be in if you attempted
to fight your own battles with an
arrogant, self-appointed interpreter
of federal policy.
One of the many reasons why /
am stressing the necessity for cor
rection of this condition at once is
that our government has expanded
so rapidly in the last six years.
Where there were rules and regula-
tons affecting only business a few
years ago, there are now great vol
umes of rules and regulations af-
fecting you and me, as individuals.

are many types of mushrooms that
are poisonous.
All of this brings us to what the
American Bar association is trying
to do. 1t brings to the front seat
efforts made by a special commit
tee of the association by way of get
ting legislation through congress to
fence in these boys and girls on pub
lie payrolls so that the rank and
file of citizens have a chance.
The special committee is headed
by Col. o. R. Mcclure, who lately
resigned as an attorney in the Cen
eral Accounting office. Colonel Nc
CURE saw the black death approach
ing, and he believes the disease of
granting more and more power to
executive offices of the government
is surely going to reach the vitals
of our republican form of govern
ment unless drastic medicine is
given.
I am not prepared to say that the
bill which Colonel Mcclure almost
single-handedly pressed before con-
gressional committees is the proper
corrective measure. There have
been loopholes found in it, plenty of
them. There has been opposition to
it from among members of the ma
tional lawyers group. Doubtless,
other weak spots will be found. But
it must not be said that the principle
of checking the vicious trend is
wrong; and it seems to be an OPP
perfume time for real work to be
done. The American Bar associa-
ton is big enough, its members have
brains enough, its membership has
power enough, to force something
through congress. Whether it is the
Mcclure bill as it stands, modifca-
ton of that or completely rewrit-
ten measure, the bar association had
better assert itself in the interest of
the public.

was three months ago. The Euro
pean conflict may have the most
far-reaching effects for owners OF
farm property"
Nobody wants to profit by human
misery, least of all the American
farmer. But war, peace or neutral
ity, he has a stake in the present
situation and if he does some
straight thinking he can be stronger
at the wars end than he was at
its start.
Chester Davis, agriculture's rep
resentative on the federal reserve
board, urged farmers to keep their
shirts on, think intelligently and
work together" thus moving out of
the war into an improved position.
Stress Soil Conservation.
By keeping his shirt on" Mr..
Davis meant the farmer should
avoid overexpansion and the pitfall
of too easy profits that later may
turn to losses. The World war
taught that lesson, and it is highly
significant that next years AAA pro-
gram aims to place more emphasis
on soil conservation than on crop
control. Probably the most practi-
cal move the farmer can make, say
the experts, is to take stock of his
lands fertility. For if agriculture
is called on to step up production as
result of the war, this will be Of
major Importance.
How does the fertility score stand?
Of 600, 900, 900 tillable farm acres,
100000 have been completely
ruined, according to the soil con-
servation service. An additional
so, 900 are seriously damaged and
a lot more has suffered a marked
decline in fertility.
Causes were erosion; failure to re-
place necessary plant food removed
year after year by growing soil;
teaching; drain of live stock raising;
oxidation of soil organic matter, and
by fire.
The total annual fertility loss to
American farm land is 16, 000, 900 tons
of nitrogen, 100000 tons of phos-
phorus and SO, zoo, 900 tons of potash,
it is estimated.
BE Prepared
whether war or peace prevails"
says the Middle West Soil Improve
nient committee, "the necessity for
an ever-increasing program of soil
conservation is indicated by the fact
that fertilizers and manures are be-
ieved to restore only Is per cent
of the annual nitrogen loss and about
6.8 per cent of the potash loss.
Restoration from other sources re-
duces the annual net loss to 2,700,-
600 tons of nitrogen, approximately
100000 tons of phosphorus and
more than $1,000, 900 tons of potash.
Agriculture here has one advan-
tage in the matter of fertilizers that
it didn't enjoy at the outbreak of the
World war. Then we were almost
entirely dependent on Germany for
potash and Chile for natural nj
trates. Today, thanks to science
and American industry, we are in
dependent and will continue so.
When the American farmer hears
the "be prepared" signal to get his
land ready for any eventuality, he
knows it can be done.

Farmers Shun Expansion in Wartime
But They Hear Be Prepared Warning
By GEORGE BRADFORD

Released by Western Newspaper Union.I
CHICAGO. - What will the
~ war do to American agri-
culture?
That question has been
raised with growing insist
ence ever since Adolf Hitler's
gray-clad legions went blitz-
krfeging into Poland. Repeal
of the arms embargo brought
it still farther into the foreground.
For the extent to which Americas
vast reservoir of foods and fibers is
used has become matter of close
concern to everyone on or near a
farm.
Three fairly definite answers have
emerged, but each is conditioned by
a large "if''-if the European war
drags on:
/. The war will create a rising
demand at home for American
farm products, with an upward
price level.
2. 1t will increase the demand
from abroad.
3. 1t will likely bring a rise
in land values.
Wars stimulating impact on in
dustry will soon be felt on the farm,
authorities believe. Already men
are returning to work, steel pro-
duction is rising, dividends are in
creasing, stocks and commodities
are going up. Americans will soon
buy more and eat more because
they'll have more money to spend.
More cereals, fats, meats and wool
ems will be needed-and at higher
price levels.
Can't Hold Two Jobs.
Let's look at Europe. Despite
1895 record-breaking worlds wheat
crop Is, 290, 600, 900 bushels, exclusive
of Russia and China) every month
the war lasts will diminish Europe's
food supplies. Men under arms
can't till the soil, whether they're
modified neutrals or combatants.
Consider, too, that there are
10000, 900 more mouths to feed in
Europe today than during the World
war, from which we recall the fol-
lowing production figures:
In 1917 wheat and other cereals
stood at 35 per cent below normal,
or 900, 786, 900 bushels. That year

Housemaid Summed Up
Situation In Fe,U Words

One Sunday afternoon the 81
lence was shattered by the sound
of an uproar from the kitchen.
Voices were raised in indigna-
ton; there were loud and violent
arguments and much humping
and banging about.
The mistress of the house hur-
ried down to investigate and
reached the kitchen just as the
angry voices reached a deafening
crescendo of sound.
"What on earth is all this shout
ing about?" she demanded. "Tell
me, what does all this noise
mean?"
