LONE SCOUTS OF AMERICA

..."Yet for every boy there is a place for the asking in the Lone Scout 
organization.  The Lone Scout does the regular farm work with amore 
cheerful spirit and the time flies. After chores and meals, come two or 
three hours of real fun with correspondence, your favorite hobby, writing 
articles, reading tribe papers, every spare moment is crammed with 
activity."
    In summers while plowing an observation of nature arouond him gets 
medals, titles, and badges, the envy of every scout, to him free.  is it 
worth it?  Many times YES!  He learns to see the beauty where before he 
only saw the ugliness.  His eyes are opened, life ha a new thrill for him. 
It fills him with amition, self-knowledge, and self-reliance.  He becomes

Same issue of "The Farmer," p. 14:

"Our Experience Corner, Made $11 on Chickens, TO THE FARMER: I raised 
Barred Rock chickens, being the ones that appealed to me.  But I did not 
raise so very many owing to the wet and cold spring.  In spite of all my 
bad luck I made $11.  I put $5 in the bank which left $6.  Then I bought 
a pair of shoes which cost me $4, and kept $1 for spending money.  I hope 
to go better this year---Leonard W. Downing, Pine County, Minn."

Same issue of "The Farmer," p. 5.

"His Chickens Beat His Cows--Nels Swendsen Finds Poultry Best Paying 
Investment on His Farm," by Don P. Shannon:

   A Pine County, Minn. farmer who has converted his poultry business from 
an unimportant side-line to one of the best paying lines on his farm is 
Nels Swendsen.  His flock of 325 White Leghorn hens brought an average 
income of almost $100 per month during the past year.  Of this amount, 
more than half was profit above feed cost, in spite of the fact that the 
Swendsens buy all the feed for their poultry.
   "I used to take no special care of my poultry," says Mr. Swendsen.  "I 
just threw them a little oats occasionally, and expected them to rustle 
their living around the manure pile and barnyard during a great part of 
the year.  Then when the prices for potatoes went down and the hard times 
came, I saw that I would have to do something if I were going to stay on 
the farm.  I had talked to some of my neighbors who claimed that their 
poultry was making them money.  Two years ago, I started to feed my flock 
better, and I found that it paid well..."
