rhe Hawaii Experiment statlo,.


A United States Experiment Station
is in process of being establihed on the
Island of Oahu, one of the Hawaiian
group. The piece of land to be used
begins in the suburbs of Honolulu,
and is at that end only 100 feet above
the sea- 1t rises gradually for a dis
tance of two miles, and is at that dis
.tance 1.400 feet above sea level The
lower slope is densely covered with
thickets of native growth, but the up
per third is covered with a planted
forest of Australian Eucalyptus, Aca-
cia and GreviIla species. The build
fngs are now being erected. One of
the important lines to be taken up is
that of the production of hay-making
grasses. All hay is now imported and
retails at $27 per ton in Honolulu
Another line to be followed viii be an
attempt to ensflo the tops of the sugar
cane. At the present time all of this
material Is dried and burned. The
cultivation of citrus fruits will also be-
gin, In an attempt to give the natives
some product they can export at a
profit Poultry culture will also be
investigated and stimulated. At pres
ent there is a troublesome disease
among fowls that makes 1t difi1cult to
raise chickens. AS consequence fowl

From the 1900 report of the New
Jersey Experiment Station we take
the following:
The Irrigation -racticed in the East
has thus far been on small scale.
Plants capable of irrigating to
acres are the rule. They have, how
ever, clearly demonstrated two points
first, an irrigation plant is a desir-
able adjunct to a farm; and second,
that it pays. In most cases the water
has been applied by pumping, either
from g stream or from wells. The
eest OF these small plants is relatively
large per acre, yet in all cases they
have proved profitable, because the
water has been used for such crops as
are liable to suffer seriously in case
OF short drouths. OF the eight small
plants of which full data have been
obtained, the initial cost per acre for
them ranges from $25 to 800, and.
with the exception of one case, the
water is applied by pumping; in four
cases it is obtained from streams. and
in the others from wells, and the re-
turns thus far have in all cases paid
a large rate of interest on the invest
ment.
The question of small plants and
their erection and equipment has been
well worked out, and one capable of
furnishing water for from to acres
can be erected and equipped for from
$4OO to $500, depending on the location
of the land in reference to situation of
the water-that is, whether the point
to which the water is to be raised be
high or low. This does seem a relative
ly high initial cost as COMPARED with
that of canals and bitches or even of
storage. but as used in intensive prac-
tice and for crops of high CONNER
cial value these plants do return
large profit on the investment. The
information thus far gathered indicates
that irrigation is desirable in the
humid districts, and that small plants,
while relatively expensive, are prac-
ticable and result in greatly reducing
the effects of a deficiency in rainfall.

Irrigation In Siberia

From Farmers Review: The agri-
cultural possibilities of Siberia are
vast and but indifferently understood.
The Punishment of Russian political
prisoners to severe and rigorous sta
tions has created the impression that
all Siberia is frigid and incapable of
agricultural development. There are
in the czar's Asiatic dominion mil
lions of acres of fertile lands splen-
didly adapted to the growth Of grains,
and large areas are even now being
farmed. Siberia, however, is a vast
country and in many sections which
have shown some agricultural devel-
opmert the winters are long and cold
while the summers on the other hand
are very warm and dry. Many of the
small streams which are used for ir-
rigation dry up during this season,
the ground bakes and agriculture suf-
fers much. To remedy this evil the
farmers of certain districts construct
each year storage reservoirs, and IN the
summers use the contents, reservoirs
and all, for the support of their crops.
They do it in this manner:
During the winter they collect great
drifts of snow in the bottoms of deep,
shaded valleys, rolling it down the
sides in immense snow balls and there
pressing and compacting it SO that 1t
will be more resistant to thawing. At
the end Of the winter they cover the
enormous piles thus formed with
branches, straw or trash, in order to
protect the snow against the SUMS
heat All during the spring this mass
of snow melts little during the days,
but freezes at night until it becomes
a great solid cake of ice. Then, when
the temperature rises to summer heat
and the streams begin to dry up from
lack Of rain. this snow-fce commences
to melt away, and by means of q ditch
leading from 1t. the water which runs
down supplies the river until the re-
currence OF rainfaiL-Guy E. Mitchell.

ADJUSTMENTS.
When We Were Twenty Onc.'

The Edward +. Rice Co. in when We
Were Twcnty-One" was one of the hits
of the season. Notwithstanding that it is
so near the end of the season when au-
dienccs are rot so apt to be large. the
company was greeted by a full house.
which showed its appreciation of the play
by frequent and prolonged applause.
The play was the interesting story of
the troubles of four bachelors with their
ward. a young man of u, in his love af-
fairs and incidentally some other love af-
fairs were brought to light. 1t was full
of strong scenes with plenty Of humor
and was thoroughly enjoyable.
William Morris as Richard Carcwe. the
leading man in the cast and one of the
four guardians of the Imp was one
of the strongest actors seen on the stage
here. this season. and his appearance was
sure to be greeted with cheers. and at the
end of each act the curtain had to he
raised again and again in response to the
cheering of the audience.
W. J. Butler as Sir Horace Plumlcy,
another of the four guardians, never
failed to produce laugh, and was a
great success. William Strong and Dell
DcLouis as Colonel Miles Graham and
Terence McGrath. were the two other
members of the quartet of guardians. and
their easy. natural stage presence should
make them favoritcs with any audience.

and the itching and burning at times are
