The Detroit Council of Boy Scouts have been doing a heroic job in expanding their organizatioiA. in the city of Detroit. This was im- perative because of the large in- -flux of families in this area. iAow- ever, the funds to carry on this work did not expand in propor- tion and it has been a rather "nip and tuck" battle. Lloyd F. Eagan, president of the Congress, donat- ed six boxes of pre war 12 gauge snells. These were raffled off at a meeting attended by 1657 mem- bers of the Detroit Sportsmen's Congress and in a period of fifteen minutes the six boxes of shells brought in $360.00, or the equiva- lent of $60.00 a box and $2.40 per shell. They check for the o.at :re proceeds has been scant to the De- troit Council of Boy Scouts. Rome's monument to Victor Emmanuel II, king of Italy from 1861 to 1887, is the costliest mem- orial of its kind in the world.

Besemer, County Agricultural Agent who has di- rected the Farm Labor Program in Wayne County. There were over 1927 persons who registered at the office this season. During the cherry picking season 324 persons were sent to cherry camps and gasoline was certified for an additional 727. There were 613 boys and girls sent from the office out in Wayne County and nearby counties to work f or f armers by the day and for the summer. The Detroit office was set up by Michigan State College Exten- sion 'Service with the cooperation of Wayne County Council of Civil- ian Defense. FALL BEST TIME TO SPREAD LIME Fall is the most favorable time to spread liming materials on farm land, suggests E. I. Besemer, County Agricultural Agent. Al- though any time of the year is satisfactory for liming operations, some of the factors favoring tto fall period for this task include 1. Most of the crops are off the field and won't be damaged by nor interfere with the operation of spreading equipment. 2. The fields are not usually so wet and muddy as in the spring. 3. If the farmer is doing his own spreading, he is more likely to have the necessary time avail- able between harvest and winter weather. 4. If legumes are to be sown the following spring, liming ma- terial spread in the fall is more apt to have the acid condition con" rected than if spreading is delay- ed until spring. Many legume seedings fail each year because the application of liming material is delayed until just before seed- ing. More and; more farmers are spreading liming material on fields that are still in sod rather than waiting until they are plow- ed, observes James A. Porter, of the Department of Soils, Michigan State College. They find that it takes less labor and a better spreading job is obtained, he says. Farmers who have had lime delivered and left in piles along the edge of the field, and have never found time to spread it, ED�sSHOP will find fall, after the frost has killed the weeds around these pil- es, a good time to get this job out of the way. Even though the ma- terials may have lain in the piles for several years, the strength is still there. Generally the material cannot be handled in the spring because the frost remains in the piles until after the busy season is underway on) the farm. A recent survey conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture and Michigan State College indicates that more than one million tons of lime are need- ed each ,year on Michigan soils. Limestone, marl, or refuse lime are among the liming materials suitable for this purpose. Six fires and a six -.acre loss re- cently dropped the forest fire toll in Michigan to the second lowest weekly total of the 1944 season, smallest previous loss having been in late June. A total of 14,330 acres has been burned in 1,160 fires so far this year. 7�C If a man has acted right, he has done well, though alone; if wrong the sanction of all mankind will not justify him.
