Meeting of the King County
Farmers Club. =

The Club meeting on Saturday last
vas of more than ordinary interest
present Farmer Larrabee.
In the absence of the Pres ident, Col.
Lsnabee rs Vice President. took the
chair. The Secretary being also absent,
Col. Larrabee read the minutes of the
last meeting. and they were approved
n.m con.
The Chairman stated to tn, Club that
he had received from the Commissioner
Of Agriculture a quantity of Cooley
Corn, variety which ripens in the un-
prec4deuted time of thirte en- weeks
from time of planting. 1t wa his opin-
ion that the Statute of Limi tations did
not apply this to corn He b nd, he was
sorry to say distributed all he had among
a lot of outside farmers, SO there was
none left for those present to- day.
Col. Iarraboe stated that Iae had re-
ceived from the same source u quantity
Of seed of the Tea Plant, an d likewise
vel[rooted grape vines of hardy va
rites. The varieties are the Diana Ives
Seeding Christine, Delawar. }, Perkins,
Iowa, Concord and Clinic, i. 1t was
his opinion as the result of actual e1-
pertinent, that the grape kno wn as Ives
Seedling makes frst-class Claret, and
has tendency to drive out whiskeys-
even the variety known as Bald Face.
That he would now distribu te the Tea
Seed and Vines among the members
present.
The Chairman expressed lisgratifica-
hon at this introduction of he rdy grapes.
They should be planted On a south
western exposure, and the vi mes trained
low in order to gather the wa rmth hal
ing from the ground during the night.
ii this were done, he had no doubt
bald face would become extii act.
A farmer present, doubted the policy
Of driving out bald face. H 9 had seen
'niS country from the stun Up up, and
was quite sure the early inhabitants
could not have existed on such thin
drink as claret. No claret fc II him. No
Sir.
1he Chairman regretted to hear such
obJectionsas these brough forward,
In Eiew of the indepen. lent stand
taken by the Grand Jury a Olympia
he thought that even the ostile forces
ut that Metropolitan city of vacant
lots, would compromise on claret. As
Tor him, give him c. aret every
time Had be been rs at an
early day. perhaps he might have
thought differently. How ever, as the
discussion seemed to have taken wide
range aud included the j, ice of corn,
he hoped those farmers VIII O had receiv-
ed the samples of Cooley corn would
not fail to make note of the time of
planting and rlpening a, ad report to
the Club.
Col. Larrabee was very sorry farmer
fesler was not able to b. present at
this meeting, as his opini pm upon the
Corn question would be { ecisive. He
he'd seen Yesler that morn ing, and he
bad asked him to make ais excuse to
me Club as Monday was washing day.
The Chairman deprec at ed all person
alities.
He would now entertain a motion to
adjourn which was accort hngly made,
pnt, and carried unanimo, lsly. E
The next meeting of the Club will be
on the 1st Saturday in May.

The kanaka Kingdom.

Kamchamcha ", present ruler in

childless, but under the Hawaiian
Constitution has tho privilege OF

righttnl heir previous to the acces-
SION of thu ruling Kamehameha, but

in 1916, to 3,579; in 1850, to S4,-
l65; in 1858, to 1920. 1t is csti-
mated that the population at this
time does not exceed G0,000 souls.
Tho Government would seem to
be more complicated in it's machin-
cry than SO small population re-
quires. Its expenses for the fiscal
year 1872 foot mp sl,l3o,244. There
are no less than twenty six Supreme
