LAST DAY FOR
TAXES MONDAY

The personal taxes become delinquent
next Monday The collections so far in
this district have been good, and the
total for the year will not fall far be-
low that of previous years. Every male
between the ages of twenty and sixty
years must pay the personal tax which
is assessed at five dollars per head. in
GLIDING school, road and poll taxes. At
ter the last day of the month ten per
cent will be added as a penalty, for all
taxes not yet paid. Assessor Pratt eX-
poets considerable difficulty in compel
ling the payment of personal taxes.
Chinese, Japanese and Porto Rican Ia
borers on the plantations are not very
favorable to the payment of the five
dollar tax, and as its collection can no
longer be enforced by criminal process
the total amount may fall some short
of former years. Previously the plan
tation managers stood good for their
hands, and in turn collected the money
for the assessor. Outside of the plan
tations under the old Hawaiian law a
, man could be locked up for the person
al tax, nd compelled to work out the
amount on the streets. The Organic
Act invalidated that law, however,
which provided imprisonment for debt
and now payment of the personal tax
can be enforced only under. civil suit
Garnishee could be obtained but the
assessor is given no more powers IN
this regard than the ordinary citizen
This will probably be the result, in
cases where the payment of the tax is
absolutely refused, and the taxpayer in
the end will be compelled to pay not
! only the five dollars original tax but
the added cost of serving the gar
, nishee attachment upon his employer
The reduction made by the last Leg
islature in the tax upon lady dogs will
not be very large. The bill reduced the
tax from three dollars to one dollar,
: making it the same for both male and
female dogs. The total reduction from
this source will fall below a thousand
dollars in this district.
The dog tax must be paid by every
owner of canine, and the assessor
thereupon issues a tag for which there
is an additional charge of ten cents. All
dogs not promptly tagged are liable to
seizure under the provisions of the act.

Campbell Method of Soil Culture.

A few years ago the Campbell meth
cd of corn culture made quite stir
in the country, and it was claimed that
a revolution in soil tillage was immi-
nent The method was tried quite ex
tensively in different states and at the
experiment station. Interest in It
waned and gradually it dropped out of
sight. Recently, however, the writer
in talking with Professor Cottrell OF
the Kansas Experiment Station
learned that the Campbell method is
still in use there and is giving excel
lent results. Especially was this true
last year when the drouth was so ex-
tensive that it annihilated crops grown
by other methods. The Campbell meth
cd necessitates the use OF a diSked
roller on the soil, the disks sinking
into the ground and packing the soil
leaving the top of the soil in a state
of looseness that serves as a dust
mulch. The theory is that the dust
mulch ON top and the packed soil be-
low tend to hold the moisture and to
give it off only by way Of the plant
roots. Professor Cottrell says that un-
der this system 1t has been found pos
sible to raise crops with much less
than the average rainfall even in Kan
sas. The Kansas station is located on
bills and much of the surface soil is
$50 feet above water. 1t will be seeu
then that it is very necessary to con-
serve all the water that comes in the
way of rain, since no form of irrigatins
is possible.

begin his long nap, he selects nice
