withthea lonescouts i people are ready to assist him when- over 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 with flie 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 his task is a little harder perhaps as ho must work and study all alone in many cases but he finds many things to interest him and most louies vote it as lots ot fun there are lone scouts in all parts of the world but in ontario they have been organized into four troops troop no 1 looks 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 and is in charge of scoutmaster don hutchison o tor onto troop xo 3 under scoutmas ter george emery ot

it they cannot belong to a re gular scout troop there are many tilings to learn and lots of new friends to make and with it all there is a great deal ot fun why dont you become a lone scout a note to headquarters at toronto will bring you all particulars without any obligation dont put it off but write today another 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 en courage our boys to work with- their fingers and i am going to urge the 60000 members of our scout organiza tion to take a bigger part next year this statement is from mr john a smiles chief executive commissioner of the oy scout association of can ada and indicates that our organiza tion will ho moro deeply concerned with the fisher body guild activity during this 193233 program last year lono scouts took a keen interest j the fisher body guild but possibly due to the lato start made by many of the members none was for- tunale enough to appoar among prize winners who earned valuable awards and enjoyed a wonderful trip from all parts of the dominion to toronto and dotroit to attend the guilds annual banquet we are all interested in learning that the guild awards have been in creased from s75000 to s5000 for the coming competition and what is more important two 4year university scholarships valued at 55000 each have boon 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 xa- poleonic coach may mean for you a lifetime career the second annual competition is now on through through local sponsoring newspapers j or through any general motors dealer undoubtedly there will he many lone scouts who wiil want to enroll in the guild it is certain they will find k a very prcclor5 privilege

object in growing barley it you hope to sell it for malting purposes indications are that the light field would probably produce the better quality stock it for feed the clay field would be tho preferable one it is not likely that tho soil will need lime in order to prepare it for the growth of barley however it on testing your soil you find that it is acid in reaction and it 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 tho 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 ot 21cc this gave 34s bushels weighing 427 lbs per bushel 01210 gave 341 bushels weighing 442 lbs per bushel against no fertilizer which yielded 251 bushels weighing 427 lbs per bushel from these re sults you will see that the 21cg made a gain of 97 bushels per acre and the 01210 a gain of 9 bushels per acre but the 01210 increased the weight per bushel llbs we find that all fertilizers are best applied through the fertilizer compart ment ot the combined grain and fertil izer drill this works the plantfood iu at
