Zurich Herald, 1932-11-10, Page 3Another Miniature Coach Building Competition "I want to see the educational Peo- ple and the industrial people of Can- ada come closer together, and the Fisher Body Guild for young crafts - Men is a step in that direction. I think it is a wonderful thing to ea - courage our boys to work with their fingers, and I am going to urge the 60,000 Members of our Scout organiza- tion tOtake a bigger part next year." This statement is from Mr. John A. Stiles, Chief Executive Commissioner of the 'nay Scout Association of Can- ada, and indicates that our organiza- tion will be more deeply concerned with the Fisher Body Guilcl activity during this 1932-33 •orogram. Last year Lone Scouts took a keen interest in the Fisher Body Guild, but possibly due to the late start made by many of the members, none was for- tunate enough to appaar among prize winners who earned valuable awards and enjoyed a wonderful trip from all parts ofipthe Dominion to Toronto and Detroitto attend the Guild's Annual Banquet. We areaall interested in learning that the Guild awarda have been in- creased front $75,000 to $85,000 for the coming competition, and what is more important, two .4 -year university .schalarsh:ps, valued at $5,000 each, have been set aside for the two best boy craftsmen in Canada. This is a rare opportunity for young Canadians and should appeal to every Lone Scout. The building of a miniature model Na- poleonic Coach may mean for you a life -time career. The second Annual Competition is now on. Enrollments made be made through the Boy Scout Association; through local sponsoring newspapers, or through any General Motors dealer. 'Undoubtedly there will be many Lono Scouts who will want to enroll in the Guild. It is certain they will find it a very precious privilege and a stirring experience. Its inevitable effect will be to make thein better boys—better Scouts—better men.

What Are Lone Scouts? A Boy Scout in his smart uniform bas become a universal figure, and Wands for smartness, alertness and readiness to cope with emergencies and to help others whenever he can, He is well known and all intelligent people are ready to assist him when- ever possible. Many prominent busi- ness Men believe that the training which a boy receives as a Scout fits him more adequately for, the later life In business or elsewhere. But What is a Lone Scout? A "Louie' is a Scout who, not being able to join a regularly organized troop of Scouts, has nevertheless been inspired witlrthe desire to make him- self a better "all round' boy, ready, when he grows up, to make the most of his opportunities, and therefore he has decided to be a Scout even though there is not a Troop in his neighbor- hood. Thus, he has joined the Lone Scout Department of the Boy Scouts As- sociation. ale task is a little harder, perhaps, as lie must work and study all alone in many cases, but he finds many things to interest him, and most Lonies vote it as "lots of fun." There are Lone Scouts in all parts of the world, but in Ontario they have been organized into four Troops. Troop No. 1 leaks after Western On- tario, and is presided over by Scout- master Jack Lawton, of London, Out. Troop No. 2 takes care of the centre of the province, end is in charge of Scoutmaster Don 'Hutchison, of Tor- onto. Troop No 3, under Scoutmas- ter George Emery, of Toronto, looks after the Lonies in the Eastern Coun- ties, whilst in the Northern territory we have Troop No 4, under Scoutmas- ter T. Albert Gray, of North Bay. At Headquarters in Toronto, where the Lone Scout Department is located at 330 Bay Street, we find Commis- sioner Capt, John Furminger, M.C., who is ably assisted by Mr. Art Pad - don of the Headquarters Staff, The Lonies are in constant touch with their Scoutmasters, who do all in their power to assist and advise them in their Scout Programmes, and once each month an interesting little paper is published and issued to all Ontario Lone Scouts from Headquarters. It is called 'On Lone Scout Trails," Boys between 12 and 18 years oC age living on farms and in small villages, etc., are eligible to become Lone Scouts, it they cannot belong to a re- gular Scout Troop. There are many things to learn, and lots of !new friends to make, and with it all there is a great deal of fun. Why don't you become a Lone Scout?

What about fertilizers for barley? I have a light silt loam fold and. have a clay tad about the same size. Which would be best to use? Answer.—Answering the last part of your question first it is generally claimed that lighter soils grow a bet- ter quality of barley for malting than do heavy soils. Heavy soils, however, have given the largrsc yield per acre In the co-operative tests which the Department of Chemistry, 0,A.C,, has conducted throughout the province during the last four years. In the la'st analysis, the yield of barley depends upon the physical condition of the soil and its supply of plantfood. In my opinion, the field you would choose would depend largely upon your object in growing barley. If you hope to sell it for malting purposes indications are that the light field would probably produce the better quality stock; if for feed, the clay field. would be the preferable one. It is not likely that the soil will need lime in order to prepare it for the growth of barley. However, if on testing your soil you find that it is acid in reaction, and if you wish to sow alfalfa or clover mixture with bar- ley as a nurse crop, it would be well to apply the amount of lime that the test indicates desirable in order to have the reaction correct for the growth of legumes. In our fertilizer tests with barley, largest yields were obtained from 375 lbs. per acre of 2-16-6. This gave 34.8 bushels weighing 42.7 lbs. per bushel. 0-12-10 gave 34,1 bushels weighing 44.2 lbs. per bushel, against no fertilizer which yielded 25.1 bushels weighing 42.7 lbs. per bushel. From these re- sults you will see that the 2-16-6 made a gain of 9.7 bushels per acre and the 0-12-10 a gain of 9 bushels per acre, but the 0-12-10 increased the weight per bushel, 1a2lbs. We find that all fertilizers are best applied through the fertilizer compart- ment of the combined grain and fertil- izer drill. This works the plantfood in at a depth where it may be readily used by the crop. M.F.-4 am thinking of growing three acres of onions next year, The piece I figure on using is a little low- er than the rest of the farm; is well drained, There are patches of black soil throughout but the main pert of he field is medium gravelly loam What shall I do to have it in best shape? ,Answer.—I assume that the ground is already plowed,. This will give It a good chance to break down and come into shape where you can readily produce a deep, mellow seed bed., Yon Co not speak of what rotation you fol - ow, nor as to whether or not you have applied manure to this soil. If you have a supply of fairly well -rotted nanure, I believe it would be well to apply from 5 to 10 loads per acre next spring as soon as the soil is sufficient. ly dry, and work it thoroughly into the soil as you disk and harrow it. The type of soil you mention should be quite favorable for the growth of onions. In recent co-operative tests on soil of this description, best results have been obtained from the use of 1000 lbs. per acre of 4-8-10 fertilizer. This should be either sown on top of the seed bed or better, applied with the grain drill In the same way that you would apply it for wheat. After the application of the fertilizer the soli should be thoroughly harrowed so as to mix the plantfood with it. From this point proceed as usual with the handling of the crop. Give the New Flock a Chance Before the new flock of pullets of laying age go into the permanent houses be sure that the houses are clean, well drained and well venti- lated. The birds should bo examined for evidence of parasitism, and should such be found, treatment should be given before they go into the perman- ent laying house. Those poultry own- ers that neglect to do this will pay the penalty in poor condition of birds, deatb losses and decreased egg pro- duction. Treating to remove the para- sites after laying has started may mean a check in egg production, se this work should be done early. Light birds with dull plumage, lameness, blindness and diarrhoea are some of the symptoins of worm infestation. See bulletin 363, Ontario Department lot Agritulture.

This highway differs from the other speed- ways which have been built in con- siderable numbers in Italy, as it is in tended, primarily, for motor trucks.
