The tirst Scout Law states that a Scout‘s honour is to be trusted. and in Five methods are generally} toiilGii in applying irrigation water in farms and ranches of tho_W§st, “cording to a booklet recently issued by the Bureau of Reclamation. The scheme to be followed depends principally upon the topography, the character of the surface soil and subsoil, the kind of crop to be irrigated and the quan- tity of water to be used. 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 grsde. By means of canvas dams placed at frequent in- tervsls. the water is turned out of the lateral, and spread over the field. The border method consists of the division of the field into narrow strips by means of low levees about six inches high and flve or six feet wide, spaced from twenty to 100 feet apart. It is adapted to lands having a gentle slope. The corrugation method consists of runn.ng small furrows. four to six inches deep nnd sixteen to fort: eight inches apart, down the line of steep- est slope. and turning into each fur- row n small quantity of wnter and let- ting it thoroughly wet the soil. The furrow method comprises a number of small furrows starting at the head a teh and running down the slope for from 300 to 1,200 feet. Each furrow is a small irrigation ditch. J.

Fo- the most part he appears either with his fathor.’ 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, gone to live in Gerar, situated semen 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 and, 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 at him, "We see in him the familiar tei of the great man's son who is over- shadowed by his father's greatness.l His position was made too easy, hisl path in life too smooth. Everythingl was found for him. His parents plan- ned for him, Eliezer wooed for him, Emu hunted for him and the land ulmo 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.

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. ftoeks and herds Ae Bedouin does not ordinarily follow agriculture. In fact today the Bedouin despises the hard-working peasant who tills the soil. So in sowing the land Isaac was probably departirz from his family traditions. Rich harvests followed his sowing. In interpreting prosperity the Inbrew mind refused to find in mere human efforts a tsutheient ex- planation. So after stating in v. 12 that Isaac stowed 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.

Preparing For Court Season Tgypt. Here God .ppeared to him. Frequently in the stories of the pa- triarchs 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. At Gerar, in the valley of Geer, and at Sitnah, the Philistine hardmen disputed the possession of the wells with Isaac's herdmen. To the nomad, wells are all-important. They create value for his real estate; (her insure an ample water supply for his floe1a 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 one 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."
