Armenian Faith in Boy Scouting

“We feel that Scouting is yet the best means of showing the world that in splto of all the difficulties of the present time, one can attain love and peace in the world by common law and sincere brotherli- ness." -- Kourkeiio Medzadourian, Clilef Commissioner, Armenian Boy Scouts.

European Scouts Exchange Homes

The latest Scout world friendship idea, developed between England and the Continent, is an exchange of home visits between individual Scouts. A recent example was the receiving of a. Spanish Scout into the home of an English Scout ior several months. Later .1: Znglish boy will be received into the Span- ish family for a like period.

A Scout Goes North With The H. B. C.

Announcement was made at the annual meeting of the Boy Scouts Association in Ottawa that a‘ Can- adian Scout will this summer sail north on the supply ship Nascople, at the invitation of the Hudson Bay Company. He will pay a visit to the Rover Scouts located as assist- ants at the H. B. C. posts on Hud- son Bay and the Arctic seaboard.

Summerslde Scouts and Wolf Cubs

The two summerslde troops of Boy Scouts organised nearly two years ago continue to flourish. The 1st Wolf Cub Pack is ‘also making good progress. Just recently a Cub psok has been started by Rov. Father Bennett McDonald and two very good meetings have been held. The boys are very enthusiastic and ii they continue in this way will make one of the largest__pecks on the island when organized. All the boys are practicing for the ‘Scout Concert, which is to take place this month. Mrs. J. J. Gaudet has charge of the boys for this practice. An interesting game of ball was played the other evening between the lat Wolf Cub Pack and the new Cubs-S.

Methods of controlling weeds in growing crops by sulphuric acid sprays are in vogue inFrance.

Ladybird beetles very often gain admission to dwelling houses but on no account should tlfey be destroy- ed because. both in the larval and adult stages, they feed voraciousiy on plant lice and other small in-

sects.

Heaves, the ailment common’ in horses, is frequently caused by re- pcgged gorging with food or water. or both. Dusty grain or hay also

predispose to this trouble.

Agricultural Official i Successful Farmer

SCIENTIFIC TRAINING APPLIED T0 MAKE PROFITS FROM FARM

By A. A. MacMILLAN (ln The Maritime Farmer)

Few men have had a. more in- teresting career than Mir. W. J. Reid, Kinkora, P. m. i. As .2 young man, Mr. Reid attended the On- tlirio Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont... graduating from Macdonald College, Que., in 1911. While at college, Mr. Reid attracted consid- erable attention in the field of ath- letics being a member oi the cham- pion baseball toarn (indoor) and chairlpion tug-of-war team. His ability in public speaking also won him first prize in the college con- test in 1011. Following graduation, his first position was that oi’ Swine Herdsman at Macdonald College, being at the time first assistant to Prof. H. Barton, now Deputy Min- lster of Agriculture for the Domin- ion. Mr. Reid was also placed in charge oi the better farming spec- ial train‘ in the summer of 1912. l-ie then became attached to the Department of Agriculture, Char- lottetown, and remained with the Department, until the year 1923. While with the Department, his duties weln such that he had to familiarize himself with every phase oi practical agriculture. During the period of his tenure of office, the foundation was laid for the im- provement of all classes of live stock. Potato growing was as yet in its infancy and fox ranching was still very much of a specula- tive enterprise.

After the Provincial election in 1933 and the withdrasval oi the Agricultural instruction Act grant to P. E. 1., reductions were made within the Department of Agricul- ture which prompted Mr. Reid to choose agriculture as his future occupation. Although still a young man, this change was a hard blow at the time, however, being a mar- ried mall with a. large family, necessity required immediate ac- tion. A decision was made to start farming and knowing the Island from end to end on account oi-his work in the province, he was shrewd enough to make use of past experi- ence and his knowledge of farm lands led him to Klrlkora where the

,2 original farm of 125 acres, reputed

to be one of the best farms on the island. was purchased. Prices at this time were high; stock and equipment were also high in price. Satisfied that he had made a good choice of a farm and nothing daunted at what today would be a staggering load of responsibility in the way of outlay, the wife and family were moved into the farm home and the recently whlte-col- lared government official became

2x to all outward appearances just an

ordinary farmer.

Potatoes Selected as Mortgage Lifter Crop

Having taken an active part in laying the foundations of the P. E. I. Potato Growers’ Association, "Bill" as he is known to his friends was wide awake to the possibilities oi potato growing. l-le knew the common diseases and how to com- bat them. He knew wllere good seed stock could be secured and he knew how to grow potatoes. His first venture in potatoes was a crop of 45 acres yielding 13.500 bushels which were sold for twenty- five cents a bushel. The crop bare- ly paid expenses. Farmers in the district expected the new comer to make a flop. They thought his sun had set. Nothing claunted, ‘ Bill came back the next year with a 40 acre crop. yielding 10,750 bush- els, which were sold for an aver- age of $1.00 a bushel. The second crop of potatoes broke the back- bclic of the farm mortgage and set the B. S. A. farmer on his feet. If

' you have an opportunity to talk

to Bill around his'own fireside of a winter's evening, he will prob- ably show yon a cheque for $5.00. which he received for‘ two carlolids of potatoes l,'l 1925 and which was immediately used to reduce the farm mortgage.

The crop of i925 made Bill in- dependent financially. He was again shrewd enough to ivlpe out his debts and plan for bigger things. He has conslstontly grown potatoes, never less than 40 acres and. never more than 60 acres. He has never had a crop failure and his smallest crop has been 7000 bushels. Counting the 1932 crop. the Reid farm will have produced just around 100.000 bushels since i024. During these years, a very considerable proportion of the var- ious crops have been sold for seed stock so that the average annual return from the crop has been well above the average in price.
