. Moreover, the sugar beet de- velops very largely below the level of the soil. This requires that the soil be deeply worked and of a sufficiently open texture that the beet can dcvelos its fall growth, Sugar beets send their roots more deeply into the soil than is generally thought, another reaso for the more open soil. As to fertilizer for sugar beets, fc. the past four years the Department of Chemistry, . Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, has been carrying on cooperative tests with several sugar beet growers. Each year a number of fertilizers have been tested. The choice of fertilizers seams to lie bet e + 212-6 anl 2-16-6. For your type of soil I believe 300 Ibs, per acre of 2-16-6. would give excellent results. A. T.--I am plowing up ¢ lw, heav, "field of sod, six years old.

I would like .» put beans in it next spring. What is your advice as to preparing it? I would like to fer tilize it. Can you tell me the kind to use, also the best way to apply it and the amount? Answer.--Plow the soil as early as it will work in spring. Work it down thoroughly by disking and harrowing. You had better have the soil tested for acidity. This your Agricultural Repre- sentative can do ir you take a sample to him*or you can do it yourself with the Reacto Soll Test put out by the Department of Chemistry, Beans do best on a soil of mediun sweetness. On a similar soil to that which you describe, best yields were obtained where a half ton limestone was ap- plied per acre as early 'as the soil would work in spring. At the time the beans were planted they were fertil ized with 4-126 fertilizer at the rats of 250 Ibs. per acre. This fertilizer would you advise sowing on it for sheep pasture? Is the spring or the fall the best time to apply fertilizers? Answer.--The success of your sheep pasture will depend to quite an extent] on the drainage that you have in this field. In any event, the soil should be thoroughly worked in the spring. and if you are planning on sowing a mix- ture for sheep feed ror next summer, the probability is that you uy ae able t) work this land fairly well along in spring so as to kill any weeds that may be in it, The Department of Field Husbandry, 0.A.C., recommends for annual sheep pasture, Dwarf Essex Rape, which may be sown in rows or broadcast. If sown in rows, use about 1% Ibs. per acre for rows 18 to 20 inches apart." If sown broadcast, use about 4 to 4% lbs of seed per acre. This will come along quickly and make good sheep pasture, For cultivated crops, as a general rule, fertilizers are applied in spring. There is some argument for applying the prosphate and potash in the fall, although a double application would increase the cost of operation. More over, if your soil is at all acid in ve- action the phosphate which is applied in the fertilizer in the fall would have an opportunity to become locked up in unavailable combinations with the iron and aluminum of the soil. If a fer- tilizer carrying nitroger is applied in the fall there is danger of the nitro- gen being lost by leaching, We have known instances where alfalfa is top- dressed with fertilizers to advantage in the fall, although, comparing results with those obtained from spring appli- cation, there is no argument in favor of the fall application. J. D.~--I have a few patches of sow thistle starting on my farm. Will you 'kindly let me know the best way to kill the? Will salt kill them? If so, what is the best way to put it on? Answer--It is questionable if any- thing can be done at this time of year to effectively kill sow thistles. It has been claimed that certain salt ma- terials can be applied to advantage on Bow thistle patches, but the great dif- ficulty is that anything that will kill s0w thistles will kill all other crops that grow on the soil, for some time. In tests conducted in Perth county during t»2 past three years, most ef- fective treatment of sow thistles was obtained by midsumme. plowing, let. ting the land lie in ridges till it was nearly dried, then disking again in September. - In the spring, sow mixed grain after again thoroughly working the soil and seed with alfalfa or clover mixture, In order to give the grain a vigorous start and to in- sure a healthy stand of legumes, apply about 250 to 375 lbs of fertilizer per acre. On medium loam soil, 212-6 has been found effective. With this aid the grain makes such a vigorous start that it successfully competes with th> was applied through the dropper of a combined grain and fertilizer drill with all tubes running. A Autumn Now let the rain sweep over hill and lane, And fill the lake, Now let the seeds of spring Fall from flower and tree. This is such a rain As wakens whitecaps; woos the trees to sing, Makes the sad leaves remember by- gone sun And sap of youth; washes them once more green As at their birth that they forget the dun Days coming and their death, and what winters mean. I have been happy. Let the wild rain rip . Rocks from the hillside and uproot old trees; And after rain let winter's fingers grip The whitecaps and the fallen leaves and freeze To-morrow's sudden brook. But you will know What seed survives the cold, what fruit shall grow. --David P. Berenberg, in New York Sun. bole ins SERYICE .. Not gain, but service, is the true object in life. If gain is made the lobject in one's life, one must inevit- ably fail, for the simple reason that the best things of life are not to be gained by striving for them; they are of a texiure that cannot be grasp- ed. One may strive for bread and win it, but ong may strain every nerve to breaking in the pursuit of happiness, and he will never over take it. On the other hand, if ser- vice is made the object in one's life, that life cannot be a failure, for the reason that on has chosen the only path above which the windows of heaven are always open, The hap- piness that eludes the grasp of every 'man who strives for it descends, like the gentle dew of heaven, upon him who is striving in service.

OBEYING THE VISION, Acts 26: 12- 19, INTRODUCTION -- To be generous with one's money is not all of Chris- tian stewardship. Not of our money, but of all of our oeing was it said, "Ye are not your own, ye are bougit with a price." The question is not merely, "What shall I do with my money?" but "What shall I do with my life?" The answer to it will be in terms as varied as men are different. I. MY BEST TO THE HIGHEST, Mark 1: Jesug' plan was to go from place to place preaching, teaching, living the gospel of the new kingdom. He need- ed companionship. He must inspire others with his own ideals, enthusi- asms, plans, He must train them to carry on the work when he was gone. On the shores of the Lake of Gal- ilee he found four men, two pairs of brothers, vs, 17, 19, They probably knew Jesus before. John's Gospel tells how two of them met him at Jordan- side. As fishermen, they would pos- sess certain qualities of body and mind which would rake them effective ag religious leaders. They would have great powers of endurance, patience, promptness (the net must be thrown immediately the fish were running) bravery. Living close to Nature in all her varied moods would develop a ca- pacity for the spiritual. Jesus said, "Follow me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." What "fishers of men" meant, they would not clearly understard then, but the phrase would appeal to them. Whatever this new life which Jesus offered would involve, it would, in some way, be similar to the old. They were to learn later--what we all learn when we put it to the trial--that those qualities which a man develops as he faithfully does the task in hand, will make him more effective in what- ever work his master gives him to do. The way to get a better job is to put our best into the onc we have now. "Straightway they forsook their nets and followed him," v. 18. "Fol- lowing Jesus" means, first of all, mak- ing up their minds to do so, They detided--and then acted. To follow work and their homes, Their work gave them a livelihood precarious enough, but it was all they had, and it carefully) for cach number, ae afford to lose it. To A Tip For Lost Hunters Hunters Jost and uncertain of the compass directions may fix North with their watch thus: Place it flat on the hand, stand a match upright over the end of the minute hand and turn the watch until the match shadow falls along the hand. A line drawn across the\ centre of the watch and midway between the end of the hour hand and 12 o'clock runs North and South; North lying on the side on which the hour hand is farthest from 12. Even on cloudy days the watch will show a faint shadow. This is a Boy Scout stunt, and one that every Lone Scout should learn and remember for use in An emergency. 1 16-Mile Night Hike to Church A party of nearly 90 Winnipeg Rover Scouts hiked sixteen miles be- tween midnight and morning to at- tend a sunrise Rovers' Own, or church service, at the little first settlers' church at St. Andriw's.

Silver Wolf For Dutch Chief Scout The Silver Wolf, Scouting's highest honorary decoration was presented by Lord Baden-Powell to Admiral Ram- bonnet, Chief Scout of the "Neder- landsche' Padvinders," the Boy Scouts of Holland. Do you know what the "Silver Wolf" is? It is a Scouting Decoration awarded at the discretion of the Chief Scout for exceptionally valuable work on behalf of the Movement. It actual ly is a small silver model of a wolf, which is s spended around the neck by a green and yellow ribbon, and it is much prized by the few people who have been decorated with it as it is the highest honour that The Boy Scouts Association can bestow, Memorial to Malta's Chief Scout The Congreve Memorial Hall --d Archway in memory of General Sir Walter Congreve, V.C., K.C.B, a form- er Governor and Chief Scout of Malta, was recently opened by Sir David Campbell, Governor-General and pre- sent Chief Scout.

Former Enemy Sons Mest As Friends Among the 3,000 Boy Scouts at the Dutch National Scout Jamboree held this summer near The Hague were boys from Eagland, Scotland, Belgium, France, C nany, Denmark, Norway and Hungeory. Young Spanish Life Savers That Spanish Boy Scouts are not be- hind those of other lands in life sav- strange. For the single men it was simpler. One at least was married. "hey were gripped by the persuasive power of Jesus' personality, The man himself made an irresistible appeal to them. Is it not so still? Farther along the shore Jesus came to James and John mending their nets with their father, Zebedee, They, toq, answered thy call. In the East to cave one's wife was one thing, to leave one's parents quite another, "Let me first bury my father" was the young man's way of saying that he could not leave home while his father was alive--at that moment probably quite well. Zebedee, how- ever, was fairly well off. He could pay for his help. Nevertheless there is a touch of pathos in the line, "They left their father Zebedee in the ship vith the hired servants." When youth, answering some "call" leaves home, it is the parents left behind who often suffer most. To follow Jesus means t. give up whatever may stand in the way of the particular service which the hour calls for. Some men Jesus called away from home. It is signifi- cant that it was only some. Each indi- vidual situation requires its own pe- culiar action. For most of us, the call is to witness for Christ at home-- the most difficult place. What did Jesus ask from those who would follow him,--answers to a list of theological questions, such as the churches ask? No. He asked for a personal loyalty and companionship. Western minds the Sudden cutting seems ing skill and courage was shown this summer at a Spanish bathing resort when two young women were swept several hundred yards from shore by a strong tide. Two 14-year-old Scouts went to their aid, and after a long struggle got them near shore, where other Scouts helped. One young wo- man recovered; the Scouts persisted four hours in a fruitless effort to re- vive the other. No effort was made by onlookers to assist in the rescue, Lonies, prepare yourselves for such an emergency as this! Where the Modern Boy Finds Adventure Rescuing a man from a ledge half way down a 400-foot cliff; fighting L-7 fires on farms; searching for a child lost on the moors; rescuing a valuable horse that had fallen on its back in a narrow ditch--these 1932 camp good turns remind that English Boy Scouts are not far behind their Canadian brothers in finding adventures in Scouting. Discussing "Waste Forces of Human Nature" in the "London Observer," Prof. L. P. Jacks credits Baden-Pow.ll with making through Scouting "one of the greatest discoveries of modern times in the field of utilizing human forces otherwise wasted," i.e. con: verting the play hunger and love of adventure of the boy into self-control, courage, loyalty and readiness to ac- cept responsibility. Scouting Popular in srsia There are 5,000 Boy Scouts in Per- sia, and their number {is growing rapidly under the enthusiastic leader- ship of the Persian Crown Prince. Scout troops have been organized at the English, American and Armenian missionary schools. The latest country to be added to the list of "Boy Scout Countries' is the Azores Islands, in mid-Atlantic, « 2 the coast of Spain. This place is the scene of the famous fight between Sir Richard Grenville on board the "Re- venge" .in thje days of Queen Eliza- beth, * hen he defeated a whole Span- ish fleet with his one little ship.

Therefore their religious exper- iences will be different. The call that changed their lives for the Galilean fishermen had in it nothing spectacu- lar. They went away with Jesus of Nazareth, who appealed to them greatly. It was afterward that they came to know him us the Christ of Paul, on the cther hand, had an overwhelming revelation of the once crucified Jesus as the now triumphant Christ. He had been definitely resist- ing God's will, and the disturbing voice of his own better nature, v. 14. But he was performing thoroughly the task which he believed was his duty. God called him to a double min- istry (v. 16) to be a minister of the word, a humbler office than that of deacon; a witness--by which he was raised to the level of the apostles.

What a prize packet for philatelists! rr nt A Sense in Saving By Neville Chamberlain, British Chancellor. There is a controversy on saving as opposed to spendirg--whether in these days it is wise or right to save. We had better disregard theory and come back again to our own common sense to decide what is right. It must be clear that there is a distinction be- tween the duty of public bodies and private individuals. Public expendi- ture, whether local or national, has to be found out of. rates and taxes. The more that is taken out of rates and taxes the less there is for the private individual to spend. With private individuals it is not so easy to lay down a general rule. Ta abstain from spending what a man ought to spend if he could afford it appears a mistaken form of economy, It appears equally wrong to lay it down that a man should use up his savings and spent to the last limit of what he can earn. Every person who can afford to spare anything from his income should lay up some re- serve for himself and his family against times which may be even more trying than those of today. Therefore, if I may sum up my ad- vice to the private individual I would say: Use your own common sense and apply it to your own individual cir- cumstances; do not abstain from spending if you can afford to spend under the mistaken idea that you are performing a public service by keep- ing your money lying idle in the bank. On the other hand, do not feel any qualms of conscience or feel you an doing wrong if you put a little bi aside even today, for it may be in tha way you are helping to preserve th stability of the country. -- THOUGHTS Mankind has been writing books so long that an author may be ex. cused for offering no thoughts ab solutely new; we must select and call that invention. A writer at the present day has hardly any other resource than to take the thoughts of others, and cast them into new forms of association and contrast.
