There is only one way in which a
plant can be forced to branch, and that
Is by cutting off the stalk. The plant
thus interfered with will make an eff

lost top or several shoots will be sent
out along the stalk. If but one starts,

SILK WORMS ONCE THRIVED
IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Though probably not generally
known, yet it is fact that at one time
the cultivation of silk was an impor-
tant industry in the Hawaiian Islands.
T. f. Sedgewick of the Agricultural
Experiment Station made the discovery
in the course of his Investigations of
the origin of some of the products of
the Territory, and he is of the opinion
that the silk worm can still be made
to pay in the Islands.
1T is an industry that deserves a
good deal of attention" said Mr.
Sedgewick yesterday, and there is no
reason why it should not be success
full, though for some cause the first
experiment was a failure The silk
worm was introduced here in 1871 by
an American named Titcum. He i'm
ported both Chinese and American
worms. and the mixture of the two
did very well. The American worm
appeared to thrive best on Maui.
"Mulberries were next introduced to
feed the worms, and one man planted
out eighty acres of different varieties
Morus multiculis. Canton, white and
black. The trees grew rapidly. and
the worms also multiplied until he had
over 100000 worms The silk was put
into shape and placed on the market,
though the enterprise failed Why, |

HAWAIIAN
EPISCOPAL
CONTROVERSY

| SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. The aues-
ton of the church in Hawaii is expect
ed to prove a thorn in the side of the
Episcopal convention. This matter IL, of
course, entirely new to the conventions,
as the necessity for it's discussion has
only just arisen.
! The annexation of the Islands Is the
cause for bringing it up at this time.
Previous to their becoming n part OF the
republic, the church there was under the
direction of the Church of England
FROM the moment of annexation the au-
/ thor.ty of the Church of England ceased
and as Il Jesuit the church in Hawai-,
, became part of the American church No
difficulty would have been experienced
had the matter not been seriously cCm-
plioated by the condition of things in the
Islands
The question is simply this: There is
territory within the jurisdiction of the
United States, and. therefore, under the
jurisdiction and direction of the Amer
lean church. but over this part of the
church in American territory presfdes an
English Bishop who refuses to acknowl-
edge the authority of the American
thurch, and holds allegiance to the Arch
b!snop of Canterbury
The church people themselves have de-
ciared for the authority of the Amer
ican church, and the bishop stands alone
IN h's contention. How TO settle the mat
ter am2cably is the difficulty
Many solutions have been offered The
Bishop of New York has sent a personal
Invita- on to the Bishop of Honolulu tn
be present at the convention ana b. has
accepted the invitation.
Independent of the bishop has come
SPECIAL delegation from the churrn people
themselves. No one doubts but that some
solution of the difficulty will he ATTAINED
and the matter forever disposed OF at
th's convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3-In his adj
dress before the Episcopal Convention
Yesterday Bishop Morris said: "Turni,lg

soon discover those orphan children OF
the Mother Church in the Hawaiian ISL
ands, where true branch of the apos-
toi!c church is in imminent peril of utter
destruction unless we turn n sympa, hetic

and salvation"

have not been able to learn. and there
appears to be no good cause for II.
Mr.. Titcum's daughter is still living,
and is a resident OF Honolulu, but she
knows of no reason why the project
was abandoned.
The industry was continued for
some years, until about 1S47 or 80, l
think, and was then given up. II was
largely in the nature of an experiment
at that time, but there are still II few
silk worms to be found on Maui and
Kauai Some Of the silk produced on
Maui has been wound and is on eXhi-
bition at the Normal School. Mulberry
trees are also in evidence in Honolulu
and on the other Islands, and IL would
not require a very large expenditure TO
resume the cultivation of the silk
worm"
Mr.. Sedgewick has also looked into
the sugar industry to some extent. The
first sugar mill was introduced in the
Islands at the beginning of the last
century. a Chinaman brought the
mill, a very crude affair. to the Island
of Lanai, in 1902. but left in a few
years, taking the mill with him.
