IflittLteftai I Scouting trains American - youth . the America* way* The storfM j Scout training is being told today hyl 11,000,000 Scouts and Scout trained citizens dating bade to February, | 1909. Today in America one out afi every four boys is a Scoot -.What I does Scouting do for the American j way of living? Scouting builds character: It Is [ better to build boys than to mend! men. The fundwnental principles!,, making up the Scout Oath and Law,! taught and applied right Bring audi right thinking in American youth- at) it? meat impressionable age. | Scouting combats delinquency: if large percentage of -crime is commit-1 ted by youths with too much leisure! and "nothing ela* to do." Wisely di-1 rected activity in the heart of "the! Scouting program of eharacter-build-1 ing and dtiieaflhip-traising, . ? r Scouting makes leisure productive! Scouting does more than prevent boys j I from becoming liabilities to society; i it develops them into assets of aocie-j ty. In addition to giving them prac-j tical training which will help equip ; them for a useful and profitable life,! Scouting develops a spirit of respon- j sibility and cooperation. . ? Scouting teaches citizenship: The I basic truths of liberty and equality! upon which this country is founded are integral part of the Scouting J plan. Scouting combats the false! ideals and insidious propaganda I which is corrupting the youth ofj other nations?seeping even into this I country. Scouting pays dividends: No money J( you can invest pays larger dividends, I ? or will bring you greater satisfaction, j than the money you invest in boy- J hood. There is nothing more worth-1 while in any community than its boy j life. Nine out of twelve boys in this! county have stated they would like jJ to be Boy Scouts. With' your aid! through investment in youth, many I' of these boys will have Scouting. Survey of Highway i Transportation to Be ) Made for Defense , , All farmers and others who own ?( trucks are to be asked to help the War Department in its transporta tion planning for national defense, f reports John W. Goodman, assistant < director of the State College Exten sion Service. M. L. Wilson, director 1 of Extension work for the U. S. De- i part men t of Agriculture, has asked , the cooperation of all State Exten- ] sion Services in the survey to be 1 made. i Each truck owner will receive in < the next few days a special National j Defense inventory cant, Goodman ex- ] plained. He will be requested to re- { turn the card (postage free) with \ information regarding the make- of i his truck, kind of body, capacity, \ time of year the vehicle is most ur gently needed in the owner's busi ness, and whether in an emergency < he would be willing to hire or lease i it to a Government agency. 1 The purpose in collecting these records, Goodman said, is more ef- i fective planning of highway trans- j portation in the assembly of defense industry materials, delivery of mili- ! tary and civilian supplies, relief of 1 dock and terminal congestion, and < movement of passenger traffic in ] emergencies. i "England was forced, m the midst i of the war, to make an inventory J similar to the one the United Stated ?] is now shoot to begin," the Extension j leader declared, and he added; "I j am sure the, farmers of North Caro- 1 lina will cooperate in tUe survey 1 since it seems vital to the prepared- < ness of our country for any wartime emergency that might arise:" The North Carolina Highway Traf- : fic Advisory Committee of the Waf < Department will send out the cards. 1 A similar survey will be made <rf ] baBe* i; 1 I ^?wrnm* I^^IOTAININa that do bay am become the best kixkd^dtinavMiiMJt ? recognising Ida nhUftlon to God, the Boy Scouts of America, ia this new Norman Rockwell painting, symbolises the spirit and meaning of its Twelfth Scout Law: "A Stout is lessseut Be is reverent toward Ood He is faithful ia his religious duties and respects tfygarictions of others la matter* of custom and religion." ' STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY ? FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: What is the mini mom size of U. S. No. 1 potatoes? ANSWER: The answer to this question, as given by H. R. Niswon ger, Extension horticulturist of N. C. State College, is: The diameter of a 0. S. No. 1 Irish potato shall be not tess than 17-8 inches, and the diame ter of a U. S. No. 1 sweet potato jhall be not less than 13-4 inches. Also, a sweet potato must not be more than 10 inches in length to meet the No. 1 grade requirement. QUESTION: What varieties of small grain show resistance to smut iis eases? ANSWER: Through demonstra tions conducted by North Carolina Tamers, in cooperation with their reunty agents, it has been found that Leaps 157 wheat; Vietorgrain, Stan on, Fullgram 4, and Leetoria oats; ind Iredell and Bearded 15 varieties; >f barley, are at least partially re sistant to smut. Howjard R. Garris, Extension plant pathologist, says the > per cent ethyl mercury phosphate [New Improved Ceresan) is effective n controlling bunt and smut ; of vheat, and loose smut of oats. - ? S- ; . ?: V, ?- ?' - ? VJ*>" ll' QUESTION? What is the best equipment for harvesting lespedeza teed under present conditions in North Carolina? ANSWER: Much of the lespedeza n the State this year made only fair growth because of abnormal weather renditions. Prof. G. W. Giles of the State College Agricultural Engineer ing Department, says the simple, in jxpensive seed pam attached to a no wing machine will do a- good job jnder present conditions. He recom nends that the low cut bar, common ly called a "lespedeza bar/ be used, ft wffl cut the stalks dose to the ground, and since the cutting action is rapid, the plants will not be dis turbed very much, thereby eliminat- ; ing some of the shattering of the hy seed pods. ' 4 ? ? ^ A man may leave a lot of money Cor his relatives to spend bututhe only cash that he takes aerossthe Great Divide is money freely ex pended for the benefit of other peo-j i Uncle Sam' to Visit Every Fanner in State wi?;:, . -v - ? ? The man with the stove-pipe hat and the white whiskers?knofon to Americans as "Uncle Sam"?will visit every farmer in North Carolina be tween now; and about December 1. He will drop around to ask each farmer how much food and feed he can,, and will, produce to help "Win the War and Write the Peace." All of which means, according to Dean I. O. Schanb, director of the N. C. State College Extension Ser vice, that the "Food for Freedom" campaign, recently started on a Na tion-wide basis, is aggressively under way in North Carolina. EVery form family will be asked to participate, and to increase production in 1942 to help feed defense forces at home and abroad. v Dean Scaub explained that "Uhele Sam" wiy be represented on the tour visits by AAA committeemen?other farmers who probably wear overalls arid straw hats in many instances, instead of the red, white and blue costume of the legendary National hero. The details of the house-to-house canvass, by means of which the food and feed production drive will be corn ducted, are being worked out at re gional, oounty and community meet ings of agricultural and rural wel fare leaders. The Triple-A commit teemen, who are the < elected leaders of the farmers, will obtain the pledge es necessary to meet the county goals of more/food and feed next year. Regional educational and training meetings are scheduled Monday, Oc tober 20, at Elizabeth City, Clinton, Raleigh, Lexington, and Waynesville, and on Tuesday, October 21, at New Bern, Henderson, Rockingham, Shel by and Wilkesboro. County and conv munry meetings will follow as soon thereafter as they can be Arranged. v' >? : ,V.; ?" * TERRACING || '.?4. * ?
