SOME OAHU CANAIGRE.
Splendid Results From Ranch of
Armstrong & Andrade.
Good Tubers with Plenty of Tanln.
On Exhibition at Pacific
Hard ware store. .

Another evidence of the capability
of the soil of Oahu to produce good
products was brought to this office on
Wednesday in the shape of basket of
canaigre roots from the ranch conduct
ed by Messrs. Armstrong and Andrade.
There were ten large tubers, measuring
all the way from three to ten inches in
length-good, healthy looking roots,
every one of them, and all the product
of a single plant.
The boys are now busy transplanting
the plants from the eight-acre nursery,
and the collection of tubers sent to this
city is said to be good average of the
product found in every hill of the nurs-
cry The field that is now being culti-
waited includes some sixty acres, located
a few miles from Pearl City, along the
Waialua road. The land had previously
been regarded as practically useless,
but it seems to be just the place for
canaigre. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the larger fields will yield
a plant that will equal the nursery pro-
duct, both in size and the amount of
tannin contained. In fact, upon the am
cunt of tannin contained in the tubers
the success of the canaigre industry in
this country depends. The tubers from
the nursery have been analyzed and
found to be fully up to the standard,
which will make the cultivation of the
plant one of the best paying industries
of the country. Furthermore, expert
ments have been made in tanning
leather with the Island product, which
have been equally successful. A sample
of the leather, together with the canal
gre has been placed on exhibition in
the window of the Pacific Hardware
Company.
The young men who are conducting
the ranch are bright, hard working fell

Before concluding, there is one piece
of advice should like to offer to small
planters, or those who are not pre-
pared or have not the means to under
take the work as described in this ar
ticle: Do not top your trees, but allow
them to grow,to their natural height.
You will undoubtedly experience some
difficulty and inconvenience in harvest
ing your crop; but after all, that is
preferable to having none to pick.

EFFECTS OF TOPPING.

The first effects of topping will be
noticed in the tree attempting to re-
sumo its former dimensions by the pro-
duction of number of vertical shoots
or suckers, from the axis of the pri-
maries, and from the butts of the trees.
The removal of these constitutes the
first operation in handling, and should
be attended to as soon as they make
their appearance: for if allowed to re-
main until developed to considerable
size, they not only rob the tree of its
vitality, but viii require the knife for
their disposal. The suckers should be
taken off by hand as soon as they have
sprouted, and this operation should be

oily, aud failing iu the effort to induce
the Bell people to reduce the excessive
charges to reasonable basis. the peo-
pie have formed independent compa-

able it is evident that these independent
telephone exchanges have been success
full in every respect. Good service has
been obtained. rents have been reduced
from a third to one-half and still the
stockholders have received handsome
dividends on their investment. Where
