The iirst Scout Law states that a Scout's honour is to be trusted, and in Five methods are generally followed in applying irrigation water in farms and ranches of the West, according to a booklet recently isaued by the Bureau of Reclamation. The scheme to be followed depends principally upon the topography, the character oi the surface soil and subsoil, the kind of crop to be irrigated and the quan- tity of water to be used. Five Methods of Irrigation Used On Western Farms In the flooding method, field laterals are run out from the farm-head ditch at intervals of seventy-five to 100 feet, usually on a small grade. By means of canvas dams placed at frequent in.. tervals, the water is turned out of the laterals and spread over the field. The border method consists of the division of the fUld into narrow strips by means of low levees about six inches high and five or six feet wide, spaced from twenty to 100 feet apar'. It is adapted to lands having a gentle slope. The corruption method consists of tunnmg small furrows, four to six inches deep end sixteen to forty-eight inches apart, down the line of steep- est slope, and turning into each fur, row I small quantity of water end let. ting it thoroughly wet the soil. The furrow method comprises a number of small furrows starting nt the head a teh and running down the slope for from 300 to 1,200 feet. Each furrow is a smell irrigation ditch. The basin Ind dike method is best adapted to very ftat lands where it is possible to inelose a fleld with a low dike just high enough to retain the depth of Inter required. ruc1....MrtH JHE 1uAA 'tgjii /lV't'iiitrijijiit,ttii, Therefore a Scout is courteous, and in being so he not only lifts himself in the estimation ot his fellows. but also he adds to the prestige ot the organt. zation to which he belongs. Lone Scout Camp Preparations for the Lone Scout Camp have been tentatively com- menced, and all Lonles who intend to be preSDnt should notify Lone Scout Headquarters as soon as possible. The Camp will be held at Ebor Park near Branttord, from July the 4th to 16th inclusive, and the cost of the full period will be $10.00, not more. Scouts will provide their own transportation to and from the camp. This is a splen- did opportunity to obtain excellent Scout Training under experienced leaders, so make up your mind to be there, and start saving your nickels now. Lone Scouts throughout the Pro. vlnce will be interested to know that a series ot radio tales, lasting 15 min. utes each, is now being given each week day, except Saturday, from 6.15 to 6.30 pm, Eastern Standard Time, over CFCA, CJGC, CKCO. CFCH, and CKPR. These talks are arranged by the Vocational Dept. ot the Western High School ot Commerce, Toronto, and will last until June 8th next. Prac- tically every career possible is covered by these short talks. and some ot the moat prominent business and praise slonal men in Canada are Imongst the speakers. We can recommend’Lonies to listen to there talks. But the result of being courteous is very much more tar reaching than it ope is the reverse. The avenge per- son has not much time to waste on people who cannot even be civil in their speech or civilized in their ac- tions, whereas one who is polite and courteous at all times is held in the very highest e:" an by all who know him. There is lots of room in Lone Scout. ing tor boys who are unable to be members of Regular Scout Troops, be. cause of the location ot their homes.

Choosing a Vocation Spring Wind --Willfattt Sharp, "Poems", INTttoDUcrtoN--It one may judge from the meagre records of his life.‘ Isaac was the least conspicuous of the three patriarchs. Fo" the most part, he appears either with his father.' Abraham, or with his son. Jacob. The story before us is the only narrative where the interest centres solely upon him. On account of famine he had Cone to live in Gerar, situated some- where in the border country between the land of Canaan and the land of the Philistines, v. I. His life there was filled with the difficulties end strife commonly experienced by people living in a border country. Under these trying circumstances he showed the spirit of forbearance which he had learned from the example of his fa- ther, Abraham. Strachan writes of him, "We see in him the familiar type of the great man's son who is over- shadowed by his father's greatness. His position was made too easy, his path in life too smooth. Everything was found for him. His parents plan- ned for him, Eliezer wooed for him, Esau hunted for him and the land almo t of its own accord yielded its increase for him. The result of all this kindness was that he was lacking in the 'Lalities of a strong manhood." ', None the less to the Israelites he rank- }ed a. a national type and ideal. ll. non AND PROSPERITY. vs. 12-1 t. ANALYSIS. I. GOD AND PROSPERITY. vs. 12-14. II.

Golden Text-A soft anlwer tumoth away wrath: but grievous Words stir up anger-Proverbs IS: 1. --.------o--' Verse 12 gives two reasons for Isaac's prosperity-his own industry and God's blessing. His work in agri- culture was all the more praiseworthy when the traditions of his family are considered. His father, Abraham. to judge from his numerous migrations with his flocks and herds, was obvious- ly a Bedouin. Now apart from rais- ir. Roeks and herds che Bedouin does not ordinarily follow agriculture. In fact today the Bedouin despises the hard-working peasant who tills the soil. Bo in sowing the land Isaac was probably departitct from his family traditions. Rich harvests followed his sowing. In interpreting prosperity the Inbrew mind refused to find in mere human efforts a tsufficient ex- plantation. So after stating in v. 12 that Isaac sowed in that land, the g'stement is immediately added, "and the Lord blessed him." God, and no other, is the real hero in all these stories. Verses 18 stresses the grad- tcl way in which Isaac accumulated possessions.

Preparing For Court Season in calling him great, because he was a mm of much wealth. Wealth was viewed as contributing to fulness of life. Its use was to serve Isaac In doing the will of God; it was for this that God gave it. Not the denial of life, but its manifold satisfaction, and fulness was the ideal of ancient Israel. II. ENVY AND MEEKNESS, vs. 15-22. At Gerar, in the valley of Gersrr,, and at Sitnah, the Philistine herdmen‘ disputed the possession of the wells with Isaac's herdmen. To the nomad, wells are all-important. They create value for his real estate; .hey insure an ample water supply for his ftoeks and herds. In abandoning these wells each time the Philistines claimed them, Isaac was therefore, turning his back upon real values. Yet in doing so he displayed his greatness. Three fea- tures of his greatness stand out. First, he sat easy toward worldy possessions. He could acquire them; but he could also give them up. He was their mas- ter, and not their servant. Secondly, he was A lover of peace. When strife appeared, Isaac disappeared. As in the cas of Abraham with Lot, Isaac won peace with the Philistines by sep- aration. Thirdly, in giving in to his foes he showed his meekness. "No- thing can be saner or sweeter than this ancient tale with its apparent moral for those who think that the strongest thing is to retaliate, to as- sert every claim, to cede no possible advantage." III. Gon's PROMISE, vs. 23-25. Tgypt, Here God .ppeared to him. Frequently in the stories of the pa- triarehs God appeared after they had performed worthy deeds, In this way they had assurance of God’s approval. The promise made to Abraham was renewed to Isaac. Abraham is called "my servant." Thus the promise is linked to obedience and the fruits of obedience are reaped by future genera- tions. Isaac made his home in Beer- sheba. His life there is described briefly in v. 25. It included religion, family life, and industry-altar, tent, and wells. _ In retiring from the Philistines Isaac took a northerly course which brought him eventually to Beersheba. This is the most southerly town m Palestine. lying close to the desert which stretches between Palestine_a_nd To love, to feel, to think, to care, To other people's burdens bear, To take the way the Master trod Is to fulfill the mind of God. To walk with courage and unbowed, When loss and sorrows round us crowd, . To cast out fear and hate, to cease, From useless strivings, this is peace. To know a loving care has planned The things so hard to understand, That what has happened is the best, To trust, to hope, to pray, to rest. --Beatriee Macdougall in "Lift Up Your Hearts." A Way of Life Every gardener, I suppose, has his --or her-favorite moment of the spring. I think mine is that warm day, " near the first of April " pos- sible, when I take " my coat, roll up my sleeves to feel the sun on my arms, and plent the first row of early peas. Generally the sweet peas have already been planted, but that is done in a trench dug the autumn before, and lacks, for me, the thrill of forking the still, sticky soil, getting out the reel of garden twine, and sowing the "ent- ing peas," as we know them here- abouta. . . .
