It is certain they will find ic a very preciot: privilege and a stirring "experience. Its inevitable effect will be to make them better boys--better Scouts--better men.

His task is a little harder, perhaps, as he 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 looks after Western On- tario, and is presided over by Scout- master Jack Lawton, of London, Ont. Troop No, 2 takes care of the centre of the province, and 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 of age living on farms and in small villages, etc, are eligible to become Lone Scouts, if 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?

Into the midst of this godless so- ciety, the herdsman and vine-dresser of Tekoa hvrled his denunciation. Driven away by tl» indigna " priest at Bethel, Amos comniitted his mess- age to writing. He could never be accused .f indulg- ing in 'hat safe but futile p caching wich deals with general principles without making the obvious applica- ons; or with "ague denunciations of sins which touct no one. He was in earnest and souragedus, therefore de- finite and practical. The rich (v.11) were wealthy landowners. They made their money by excessive rentals. Over against the splendor of their ivory-adorned stone houses rose the dark shadow of poverty, made even darker by their heartless oppression. God had planned that these people should be "brothers al" but a rela- tively small group of the strong, ag- gressive members of the family had exploited the vast majority of their brethren for their own gain. This method of making a living, so char- acteristic of ovr own day is the "apex of athelsm." The rotten social strue- ture of Israel, unheeding the prophetic warnings, fail. What about our own, already tottering? 11. DEVELOPING PERSONALITY, Luke 19: Jesus, discovering that his hearers (v. 11) were still expecting an earthly kingdom to be set up immediately, told this parable in order to stimulate their activity and faithfulness. Behind it as an historical occurrence. On the death of Herod the Great, his son, Archelaus, went to Rome to secure his on appointment as successor. At the same time the ritizens of Jerusalem sent a strong delegation to oppose him (vs. 12, 14), but they were unsuccess- ful, v. 15. Life, Jesus says, deals "airly with every man, While some have greater advantages than others, yet, in the most 'important sense, all are born with an equal charce. "To each man he gave a pound," v. 13. "I had no ovnportunity," some one cries out, poor, ill, suffering from some h:.ndicap. "Nonsense," replies conscience. "You Lad an equal chance with your more richly-endowed neighbor--the chance t do your best with the gifts you had. He had no more." The world measures you by the rung f the ladder « which it finds you. God, your own con- science, considers how far t was you climbed. The man who gained ten pounds (v. 16) is the one who used his opportun- ities to the full. Note the prair-, "be- cause thou hast been faithful." The five-pound man (v. 18) made a showing with his life that the world may well have applauded. But his awn conscience ?>ld him that he could have done twice as well had he really put himself into his work, He did not have the joy and satisfaction that coms from the knowledge that a man has done his best. The praise of v. 17 is missing. The man who was afraid to trust his money even to the bank (v. 20) repre- sents the great number of people, en- dowed with gifts of hand, heart' and brain who make no use of them. They know that life's law is "use or loss" (vs. 21, 22) yet they refuse to develop their possibilitics. Failure to do so brings, not an arbitrary loss, but an inevitable loss. The muscle unused be- comes eventually impotent, the brain unused deteriorates, the soul unfed dies.

All Answers Will 73 HE.B~--What kind- of sofl 1s best {adapted for barley? Would you lime the land for this crop? What about fertilizers for barley? "I'have a light silt loam field and have a clay fleld about the same size. Which would be best to use? , Answer.--Answering the last part "lot your question first it is generally claimed that lighter soils grow a bet- ter quality of barley for malting than do heavy soils, Heavv soils, however, have given the larger: yleld per acre Jin the co-operative tests which the Department of Chemistry, O.A.C., has conducted - throughout the province during the last four years. In the las analysis, the yield of barley depends upon the physical condition of the soil and its supply of plantfood. In my opinion, the field yon 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 3756 Ibs. per acre of 2-16-6. This gave 34.8 bushels weighing 42.7 1bs. per bushel. 0-12-10 gave 34.1 bushels weighing 44.2 Ibs. 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, 1%lbs. 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.--I am thinking of growing "Tall" Corn The way corn grows in "Ioway."
