The occasion was the annual church par- ade of the Patrol; and as usual the Lonies ere lipiendidly supported by ' their friends from Oshawa. The 5th Oshawa Troop (Sea Scouts) under "Skipper" Rigg, and the Sth Oshawa Troop, under Scoutmaster Reg. Terret, turned up in force, and it was a group of over 70 Scouts and leaders who filed into St. George's Church for the evening service. The lesson was read by Scoutmaster Bigg, and the address was given by, Scoutmaster Terret, -who took the story of David and Goliath for his sub- ject, and likened David to a "Lone Scout of the Bible." After the service the Scouts were entertained at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Robinson, the parents of the Patrol Leader of the Lonies and t1J e. entire evening's proceedings reflect great credit on the work of the Silver Foxes, and everyone present voted the function to be highly successful. Lone S out Headquarters was repre- sented by Commissioner John Furman ger and Scoutmaster Don. Hutchisc t of the 2nd Troop. Headquarters Notes The Comnfissioner and the Scout- master of the 2nd Troop are looking forward to a visit to the Lonies at Al- liston in the Iatter part of this month. More will be heard of this later. The Wolf Cub display at the Mutual Street Arena, Toronto, on Saturday; November 5th, was a great success. The display was entitled "Aladdin in Cubland," and Lone Scout Commission took the part of the "Genes" of the Magic Lamp. A Ton of Moss For Poppy Day A ton of moss for Lady Haig's pop- py factory was collected by the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Perthshire. The moss is used for wreaths. Lone Scouts are reminded of their opportunity to do a good turn to their •community by seeing that the local Sear memorial is in good shape and tidy for any "Remembrance Day" ceremonies that may take place. Lone Scouts should attend these ceremonies in uniform. More Peace Honours For. 13.-P.. Two new honours have been confer- red upon Lord Baden-Powell in recog- nition of his leadership of Scouting as. a world peace movement, They are Grand Cross of the Order of Orange and Nassau, awarded by Queen Wil- helmina of the Netherlands, and the Order of Geminidas, First Class, pre- sented by the President of the Repub- lic of Lithuania. Distinguished Churchman Becomes Rover Scout at 80 Becoming Canadas oldest Scout, Rt. Rev Dean Tucker, of St. Paul's Cathe- dral, Lon :on, was invested as a mem- ber of the Rover Scout Crew of his church at an impressive service in the cathedral chancel. Dean Tucker is SO years of age, and still active. Training For All Emergencies The wide variety of heady acts for which Scouts are awarded medals was illustrated when the Governor-General presented medals to two Moose Jaw boys. One had saved the life of a gun- shot unshot victim by applying a tourniquet, the other had gone to the aid of two men attacked by a moose in the Moose Jaw Wild Animal Park. • Sunday School Lesson 20,000 Danes Greet Scout Courier A novel cross-country event which attracted much 'public attention in Denmark was the carryiug by Scout.. messengers from the northernmost point of Jutland 500 kilometres to Copenhagen, of a kudu camp horn, the gift of Lord Baden-Powell to the Dan- ish Scout Association. The arrival of the horn was witnessed by 20,000 spectators One courier crossed an arm of the sea by sail boat, and an - 'other piloted au airplane. Danish papers published photographs of the progress of the horn across the coun- try.

Another suggestion ;which has been considered is a ban on the manufacture of "toy" revel - hers, which can easily be converted Onto effective weapons. • Criminals are well aware of the Leavy punishment they risk by carry- ing out robberies with the aid of re- ;volvers, and the relatively few cases in which shots are actually fired chows that they are carried for the purposes of intimidation only. At the same time, the authorities do not intend to remain inactive in the face sof the increasing number of robberies whose success depends almost entirely on the used of arms.

J. K.—I have, a field- of muck land on which I want to grow hay. Thia;. land is not well dralned. What kind of grass mixture should I sow it to? Answer.—You are-fortunat ly choos- ing one of the best crops to grow on this type of soil, but it is a little un- fortunate that the soil is not drained, since no crop can do its best if water Is standing in the soil. Water which can be drained off always is injurious to growing crops. Roots will not penetrate through layers of water, nor can bacterial action go on • in soil which is water logged. By all means, if you hope to improve this piece of land, arrange flir either open • or tile drains to be• estaLlished so as to car- ry off the ,urplus water. Probably Red Top or Rhode Island Bent grass will do best nude: the con- ditions that you describe. About 12 lbs, of high grade seed c: Red Top and 6 lbs. of Kentucky Blue grass with 2 lbs. White Clover would make a mixture that should 'rive, unless the ground ,is too wet. M. B.-1. Soil is made up principal- ly of sandy loam, 25 acres, plenty of humus in it, 50 acres sand; loam with clay cropping up in -placed, two or three acres in extent. The above soil has a clay subsoil, 25 acreE sandy too Poor to crop much. 2. Average yield, oats, 35 bus.; bar- ley, 22 bus.; buckwheat, 25 bus. per acre.

Never used any lime, don't sus- pect the soil is sour. Have used fer- tilizers in a limited way and am per- suaded phosphate of lime and nitrate of soda could be used profitably. Answer.—You evidently have a soil which needy to be handled with great care in order to obtain best returns. On your soil which is "too poor to crop much," I wonder if it would not be advisable for you to seed clover. If it is extremely sandy I believe sweet clover would be better than com- mon red. 'I am doubtful if you have sufficient drainage even in view of what you say about the land being well drained. It may be that the layer of clay under the land lies in pockets, as it evident- ly vidently does from your; statement that clay areas crop up in places. I know tile drainage is relatively costly, yet it must be looked upon as a permanent' investment rather than an expense. From figures I have on hand, I believe you would quickly realize returns from money put into a conservative amount of tile drainage, to drain out the pockets which It believe exist in your 'that the- . had something to give. - The man vho loves his fellows. can always be lavish in his gifts. The early Christians would fast for two or three days in order to be able to help the poor. How often have heroic sacrifices inspired great giving in others! v. 10. Not only does Christian liberality feed the hungry, alleviate pain, heal the sick; it turns despair into cour- soil. Clay is relatively impervious to III. MAN RESPONDING, 2 Cor. 9: 6-15. Paul, trying to develop the sense .of -esponsibility and brotherhcod among the churches which he had' organized, arranges for a collection to be taken for the Jerusalem poor. This would bind the two sections of the church, the home church at Jerusalem and the "Foreign Mission" churches, more closely together. Said he, "Giving is. like sowing, the more generous the sowing the more abundant the har- vest," v. 6. But where is the money to come from in these hard tinges? "When the de- pression is over, I shall start to gibe." "Too poor now; I shall begin when I get on my feet." Such intentions are as uninformed as they are faithless. Nature does not work in that way. The Pian who starts out in life put- ting himself at the centre' will ` not thereby develop "other -mindedness." Instead, he w:.11 destroy such capacities for unselfishness as• ho may have had to start with. God's sincere children have always found that he is able to make all grace abound toward thee, v. 8. That is, they have always found by water standing on the soil. On ex- amination, virgin upland soils contain a; medium amount of nitrogen, and if clay predominates, contain a medium amount of phosphoric acid and potash. Muck soils, on the other hand, contain a large amount of nitrogen, a small supply of phosphoric acid and a very small supply of po' ah. Muck soils are therefore best adapted for garden truck, which is harvested when the plant has made greatest vegetative growth, or for hay crops. Speaking generally, muck soil is slow in spring and crops growing on it tend to pro- long their growth and do not ripen in sufficient time to escape frost. If pot- ash -loving crops suck as potatoes, sugar beets, etc.,"'are grown, after the first crop or two, there will be a ten- dency for the vegetables to be poorly filled out, and the plants to be • suss ceptible to -disease. In fertilizing, for general crops on muck soil, use a fer- tilizer with a small amount of nitro• gen in order to start the crops off vigorously, a large amount of phos- phoric acid -10% to 12%—and a medium to abundant supply of potash, under normal conditions as high os 10 to 12%. This, of course, should be worked into the soil thoroughly at the time the crop is being planted. age, loneliness into joy, creates a new spiritual atmosphere, gives the donor the "royal reward" of gratitude.

The Meadow Mouse Girdled orchard trees and girdled fruit bushes spell ruin to the work of many farmers each winter; The meadow mouse 'in its search for food during the cold snowy weather will chew the fresh green bark of any tree or shrub that it may be passing, Trees to the value of many thousands of dollars are ruined on the farms o1 those who are just a little neglectful in doing the necessary work to pro- tect the trees against mice. ,!Some farmers, once having experienced the loss of valued trees, profited by the expensive lesson in that they now take steps to prevent further loss. This is accomplished by removing conditions favorable to mice in that such provide shelter; by destroying the mice with poison bait or by trap; by applying wire or veneer protectors to he trees to prevent bark eating. The extensive use of poisoned grain, so dated that birds and other animals cannot pick it up, is effective in orchards where mice are numerous. This i best done in November; before show fall. Small land the:a;nd,•wide-necked bot, very desirable poison bait he dens: The poison grain can be placecr'k ih'- these, and then these containers can he placed at likely points in the or- chard, where they can be examined and re -baited with poisoned grain from time to time. In addition to:poisoning, it is well to protect all young trees likely to be attacked with suitable wire mesh protectors. Those, if home- made, are not expensive, and give a very cheap iusurance against injury by mice during the November to May peri -d each year. One good tree lost by girdling represents a los. c: money that would buy a lot of poison bait and wire, wherewith to protect the trees. If you neglect to control the mice it will be too bad for the orchard and al- so the bauk account. Pennsylvania Roads Widened At all Points of Intersection Ilarrisburg, Pa.—More highway space than formerly is provided at road intersections ill Pennsylvania as a means of promoting safety. The "flaring of intersections was applied to rural highways as well ae5 to roads constructed in centres of greater traffic.

Furthermore, I believe you would do well to apply some limestone, especial- ly where you are seeding your ground to clover. You would not suspect that sandy soil is acid in reaction, but this is often the case, since lime leaches out of sandy soil most readily and if best results are to be obtained it must be retur: ed, Apply about 1000 to 2000 lbs. of ground linles'one to the acre: This can be put' on the soil at any time, but is perhaps most effectively used when you scatter it oh the plow- ed ground in spring, as yor work the Soil do n. I doubt your assertion that nitrate of soda can be used to best profit on your soil. If your soil is relatively open as your description indicates, I believe a more slowly soluble form of nitrogen should be used, such as tank- age or bonemeal. From y..ur description of the crops, I believe that drainage, Iiming, manur- ing and fertilizing, are the ways to larger yields. . R.
