Commissioners Endeavoring TO Secure

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. "a corre-
spondent at Honolulu. writing under date
of Oct. l3. says: Two commissioners re-
Gently arrived at Honolulu for the pur-
pose Of negotiating with the Hawaiian
government for concessions for a pro-
jected cable between British Columbia and
Australia. They We're Hon. SANFORD
Fleming, representing Canada. and Mr..
Mercer of the British foreign office. Yes
terday a special conference with the gov
ernment took place. one of the PROPOSE
tions concerned the possible occupation Of
Neckar Island as a cable station. They
also discussed with the government the
question of concessions for the landing
OF a cable near Honolulu. The attitude
of the government in replying to the COM
missioners was adverse to making special
concessions Of any sort owing TO prior
exclusive treaty engagement with the
United States.
There is strong ground for the opinion
that the commissioners really do not de-
sire to occupy any western islet as n
cable station, but decidedly prefer Homo
lulu If they can secure special concos-
sions.
There seems to be no doubt that Eng
land will be compelled to adopt Oahua as

represents a large amount of nitrogen,

Nitrate of Potash vs.. Nitrate of Soda.

Nitrate of Potash vs. Nitrate of Soda.
In the annual report of the agricultural
station at Halle, says " H. in Farmer
and Fruit Grower, an account was given
OF experiments carried by Prof. Maeker.
from which II appears that the damaging
influence upon the sugar content of beets
when fertilized with nitrate Of soda is
not so much due to the presence Of nitro
gen as it is to the effect Of the soda con-
tained in this material, or the absence Of
potash respectively.
Potash as Is we'll known, Is essential
to the formation Of sugar and starch in
plants, while soda is just the reverse
Now then, II plants are fertilized with
nitrate Of soda, they take up in addition
to nitrogen, a large amount OF soda,
which makes them UNIT 10 absorb a suf-
iciency Of potash and, therefore, they
detcrlorate In quality. CThe sugar con-
tent in beets was reduced 16 per cent?
IL is different, however. with crude
potash salts, which are also rich in soda
Sugar beets absorb from such material
large amounts Of potash. but only little
soda, as was shown In these trials. Kali
nit was the material used and contains a
large abount Of soda In addition 10 potash
but the beete absorbed very little soda
as compared with the potash.
In view of this fact therefore an
entire new field appears 20 be open for
the use Of nitrate Of potash as a fertilizer

in taking the place Of nitrate Of soda.
Two points of Importance are likewise
brought by these investigations, viz
First-Sodium compounds (such as COM
mon salt, nitrate OF soda, etc) are injuri-
Gus to some plants; and,
Second-That soda cannot take the place
OF potash in its functions as plant nour-
ishment.
The teachings of these Investigations
with sugar beets are also applicable to
other crops in which large contents of
sugar and starch are essential, as for
example, potatoes, etc. To such crops
the use of salt as a fertilizer, besides be-
ing useless, would be quite harmful.

Crimson clover in Cotton.

How would it do to SOW Crimson clover
IN cotton about the first of November?
What implements would be best to use in
sowing, and how many pounds of seeds
use per acre? What price will I have to
pay for seeds. and when can 1 get them.
I. H.
1t is an excellent practice, sowing either
clover or grain in the cotton field Sow
twenty or twenty-five pounds broadcast.
and then run a short-tooth harrow twice
in the middles. If any other implement is
used for loosening up the soil then SOW the
seeds after loosening. The seeds will
come up without being covered at this
season, as the old stalks shade the land
somewhat and prevent evaporation of
the moisture. The seeds weigh sixty
pounds to the bushel and the price is
from $3.50 to $500 per bushel. The j. H.
Alexander Seed Company, Augusta and all
leading seedsmen keep the seeds for sale
If you have roller it would be a great
help TO roll the land after sowing, if all
the cotton has been picked off the stalks,
and the stalks are not too rank. A mar
row roller might be run once between the
old rows of stalks.
