THE EMPIRE World to Cast Out Devil The United States have come to the climax of their inuludy while they are still strong enough to copo with it. They will build up from the base a stronger, more stable Industry and commerce than the fantastic structure which has toppled from the height of the skyscrapers to the duht. Japan will halt her invading armies before she raises the new dragon of a nationalist China against her. She will be content to have expelled tho chaos from Manchuria which threat- ened her material interests. "Consolidate, not cou<iuer," will be her policy now. And in Germany, when the blare of .Nuzi trumpets has died down, tho dis- ciplined Intellect of the German nation will assert itself, modifying the forces of reaction, building a greater Ger- many than the world has yet seen. The.te things will not come over- nightâ€"hut they -will come. The duty of Great Britain is plain. Wo must regain our own economic health and vigor before we shall be able to help others.

Smart Scout Hats Talkir.g oC eciuipinent reminds us of tho fact that we have sometimes no- ticed that Scout Hats get very much out ot shape, it not treated properly. This is especially noticeable after camp. We have ..(ten been asked what to do to stlfTen the brim of a Scout Hat, and here is one useful method: Mix ono ounce of ordinary Flake Shellac Into a quarter ot a pint of denatured alcohol, in an old glass jar, and allow the mixture to stand for about 24 hours, with the lid on, of course, to prevent evaporatiou. By this time the shellac should be quite dissolved. Give the Scout Hat a t^liorough brushing with the stiffest clothes- brush you have, and then work the mixture into the underside ol the brim with a stiff brush. The mixture should be used sparing- ly, so that it will not come through the felt. When you have applied the mix- ture all round the brim, stand the hat on a piece of flat wood, until It Is quite dry, which will bo about 24 hours later. Then give t another good brushing with the dotUesbrusli. This method will darken the felt very slightly, but being on the under- side of the brim It will not be notice- able. The proportion mentioned above should be sufiicient tor four hats. Do You Know That â€" Gold cannot rust'/ Arabs never eat fish? The coflee tree is an evergreen?

If Personal Reply is Desired, Enclose Stamped and Addressed Envelope. Questions and Answer* J. F. â€" I would like to ask a few questions about sweet closer. I have 20 acres which were in sweet clover this last year. It was a good crop and was cut for seed. It Is a clay loam and Is in fair condition. If I plow the stubble, will the clover come up again or will It come up It it is not plowed? There was a lot ot seed shelled in the field. 1 have some very sandy soil. Do you think It will bo advisable to sow sweet cljver on it? How much sweet clover should I sow to the acre'/ What can I do to help get a catch? Answer. â€" Sweet clover Is usually a biennial. If it Is allowed to form seed, chances are unlkely for it to sprout again the next year. However, It much seed has fallen on the ground, in all probability quite a bit of first year clover will come up and ripen again the following year, just the same as though It had been sown. The way '.o kill It Is to cut the clover when It Is green and plow under the stubble. Sweet clover will be especially valu- able on very sandy soil. It makes an abundant growth ot roots and thereby adds quite a bit to the humus of the soil. This is especially valuable on your sandy area since sand is very short ot plant fibre commonly called humus. The Field Husbandry Depart- ment recommends 15 to 20 lbs. of sweet clover seed to the acre. Two things can be done to help the catch of sweet clover. One Is inoculat- ing the .seed with the type ot bacteria that grow upon it. This can readily be done by obtaining from the Dcpt. ot Bacteriology, O.A.C, the right culture for clover seed. Prepare the mixture according to directions and add it to the seed. Remember this is not a fer- tilizer but i.s a bacterial culture and .simply helps the growth of the plant in that respect. To assist in the catch of clover it would be well to add some fertilizer to the soil. It you do not have much manure tor tho soil, our experience is that two to three bags per acre ot 2-12-G fertilizer gives the crop a splen- Roosevelt Helped Raise IVIillion For Boy Scouts U.S. President Roosevelt, who is al- so Honorary President of the Boy Scouts ot America, was twelve years President of the Boy Scouts Founda- tion of Greater New York.

Another Anniversary The Ontario Lone Scout Uopartmeut is now entering its fifth year ot ac- tivity, and during the four years in which it has been operating many hun- dreds of boys have passed through its ranks and received the benefit of Scout training. Lone Scouting has reached boys on farms and in small villages and towns throughout this province, who live too far away from an organized Scout Troop to be able to take part In Scout Activity through the regular channels. The Lone Scout programme is es- pecially designed tor such boys, who are thus enabled to be real Scouts, and who are assisted by competent leaders through the mail and by other methods. Applications for membership will be welcome.l from boys 12 to IS yea>3 of age (incl.) and should be addressed to The Boy Scouts Association.

This should be put on at the time that the nurse crop ot grain and the sweet clover are sown. In fer- tilizing the crop after It has started, however, our experlmenta recommend tho use ot 0-12-15 fertilizer at the rat* of two or three bags per acre. R. B. â€" I have three acres ot medium light soil that I wish to put in potatoes next spring. It had oats last year. What is the best way to prepare th« soil and the best variety to plant? Answer. â€" As a general rule it is re- commended to follow a legume crop with potatoes. However, In recent study of the question we find indica- cations that exceedingly good yields are obtained following grain, there- fore we rather favor your plan. I as- sume that the soil has not been tall plowed. You should work it aa early as it is sufficiently dry in the spring but do not plow too deeply. For pota- toes on sandy loam soil, in our de- monstration tests largest gains have been realized from the use of 4-8-10 fertilizer applied at the rate of 750 lbs. per acre. It you have a potato planter with fertilizer dropping com- partment, this machine will give the fertilizer the best application. How- ever, if you do not have this machinoi strike out the furrow for potatoes or dig the holes, scatter the fertilizer fairly generously along the bottom of the furrow or holes and pull in a cover- ing ot the soil. Then drop your pota- toes and proceed as usual. Do not allow the fertilizer to drop right on the po- tatoes. Likewise, do not drop the po- tatoes immediately on top of tho fer- tilizer. In either of these cases injury is likely to be done to the germination and growth of the seed piece. For early potatoes the Field Hus- bandry Department, O.A.C, recom- mends Irish Cobblers, while tor Kita potatoes Dooley or Green Mountain are favored varieties. rt Grow Some Tobacco Plants With money scarce on the farms saving is very much in order. Grow t patch ot tobacco this year, two oi three hundred plants. This can be usee in the control of animal parasites, and will save you money. The growing ol tobacco requires about the sami amount ot attention and labor as does the growing of cabbage, with which all are familiar, and the method can he the same. Seed may be sccurad through any seed house, and tho little plants are grown in boxes, in time to be set out when the danger of frost ia passed. The fully grown pUuUs are harvested before frost in September, and hung up to dry well, previous to being pulverized for use. I'ulverizing is best done by running the entire to- bacco plant through a feed mill. The pulverzed dry tobacco can be sacked up and kept until needed. Farms that make full use of the home grown t> bacco in animal jiarasite control will not need to make any cash expendi- tures for this purpose. The powdered dry tobacco can be given in teed or in salt licks, as a worm preventative, to all animals, and it can bo used in washes and dusting powders in thi control ot external parasites. Trj growing your own supply, it will b« worth while. Any farm in Ontario cat grow tobacco that is quite good enough for the destruction ot anima; parasites. C.N.R.
