Boy Scouts to
Celebrate Their
29th Birthday ;
Great Work Done by Scouts
of America Last
Year.
The Scouts are celebrating a
birthday again—the 29th this time
—with a message that “Scouting
Carries On American Ideals ”; ideals
of service, co-operation, tolerance
and religious obligation, and homage
to the responsibilities of participat
ing citizenship. It is a welcome
portent for the future of American
democracy that more than a million
and a quarter men and boys are
now active members of a move
ment which, although lounded to
capitalize on the love all boys have
for adventure in the out-of-doors |
does not fail to provide practical 1
ways of helping them fulfill the
obligations felt by every genuine j
American.
Scouting has succeeded in becom
ing a part of the American boys'
world because it Is a program of
action plus idealism. So it has a
two-fold appeal, demonstrated by
its growth in popularity each year,
many sections limited only by the
lack of leaders or adequate funds I
extension. Measured in terms j
of boys who want to be Scouts there |
still much room for growth.
Measured in terms of results pro
duced the Boy Scouts of America!
has already paid any debt operating due the J
American people for the
charter granted it by Congress
many years ago.
In our own community now there i
are many me>n, part of the 8,400,000
who have been included in the
Scout family since 1910, who be
lieve in the principle that “Once a
always a Scout,’’ and who
doing their best to extend and
in practice the concept of
and moral responsibility that
to them in their Scout troops.
this reason, if for no other,
has every right to be proud
its Boy Scoutss.

Deficiencies in
Plant Food in Farm
Soils Increasing
Judging by reports from
sections, it appears that plant food
deficiencies in our farm lands are
steadily becoming more serious. Ac
cording to those who have been
studying the matter, this situation
has been developing for some time,
but bas been emphasized in late
years by the gradual disappearance
of such old-line natural fertilizers
as blood, meal, bone and scrap.
While these materials were used
chiefly for nitrogen, phosphate and
potash, they contained many other
plant food elements as impurities,
which doubtless helped to control
plant diseases now known to be
caused by deficiencies of those ele
me nts in the soil,
Since fears have been expressed
that, because of their comparative
p Ur ^ _ some of the newer, highly
concpn t ra tpd materials might ag
gravate the soil deficiency
tion, studies have been made to
determine what results might be
expected in case they should ever
be widely used.
In this connection, a recent state
ment by Professor L. G. Willis,
Chemist of the North Carolina Ex
periment Station, is of
interest.
“For almost 150 years,’’ said Pro
fessor Willis, “people believed that
the three major elements, nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash were
the only ones that would have to be
added to the soil artificially in fer
tilizers. The idea has persisted un
til the present day. The North
Carolina fertilizer law, for example,
defines a fertilizer essentially as
material containing nitrogen, phos
phoric add and potash in form
suitable for promoting crop growth.
“One by one, other elements nec-
