CONTROLS HAWAIIAN SUGAR.
Makaweli Corporations Finances and
the Olokele Ditch.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-The
Chronicle this morning says:
At the annual meeting of the Maka-
we'll Sugar Company yesterday Presi-
dent S. 7. Alexander called particular
attention to the Olokele ditch which
would not cost over $225,OOO, and it had
been demonstrated that it would carry
10, 600, 600 gallons of water a day. In re-
lation to the authorized bond issue OF
500, 600, President Alexander said that
bonds to the amount of $l50,OOO had
been sold, which would completely pay
for the work done on the new ditch to
date.
1t was stated to be the unanimous OPP
inion of the board of directors, which
was reelected that it was to the best
| interests of the MakaWeli Sugar Com
pany that the payments of dividends
should be deferred until there should
be a considerable surplus on hand. 1t
was reported that 5000 additional
shares of the capital stock of the Ha-
waian Sugar Company had been ac-
quired by exchange for an equal num-
Der OF shares of treasury stock of the
MakaWeli Sugar Company, that the
last named corporation now owned 49,
435 shares of the Hawaiian and that
when the purchase was completed the
Maxwell would hold 5O,SSO shares of
the Hawaiian-or more than the con-
trolling interest in that company. The
financial statement showed that the
disbursements of the year had amount
ed to $l46l.63 and that $6575.63 cash re-
manned on hand on December 31st last.

TWO REGULAR MAINE CROPS
Gen. Haywood Enlightens Women

Maj. Gen. Haywood, the commanding
officer Of the United States Marine
Corps, is a native OF the Pine Tree State,
and is proud of it. AT a reception II
evening he was in the midst of a group
of women whose home is in a part of
the country vastly more favored agri-
culturally.

About Fish Ponds.

A reader of these notes wants to
know something about artificial fish
ponds-how to make and care for one.
Two things are necessary, one ar I'M
failing supply of pure water, which
may be obtained either from a natural
spring or an artesian well If the water
is not mineralized, the other a location
for the pond where it will be exempt
from the action of flood water in a wet
time. Given these conditions the pond
should be not less than eight feet in
depth in the center and of any size de-
sired, corresponding to the flow of wa
ter from the spring. In such a pond our
ordinary food fishes-pike and black
bass being the b~est-should do well if
properly fed. Suckers. redhorse and
carp should be kept out, also pickerel,
which are water wolves. A close watch
will have to be kept on predatory
minks. We have never known of a case
where fish culture in this was
made a commercial success, but as a
pleasing pastime and to furnish a sup
ply of fish for home use it can be done
where the conditions named exist.

Two Views of Alfalfa.

A friend in Minnesota writes us stat
ing that alfalfa cannot be made a sue
cess without irrigation; that there is
not sufficient rainfall in Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois to make the plant a
success. He further says that even
where it can be raised it Is the poorest
crop ever put in the ground and that
as hay it will only bring one-fourth as
much as timothy or one-third as much
as clover. He concludes by saying that
alfalfa is a fad. being doomed by men
that have seed and land sharks that
have worthless land to sell and advises
Iowa farmers to stick to timothy, clo-
yer and blue grass and even foXtail, but
to let alfalfa alone. This is n view.
Here is another view from an old
friend in Washington. He writes us
that he has 100 acres in alfalfa, from
which he made last year $50 IONS of
hay, worth there 10Y S12 per ton. He
says that it is the most valuable crop
which he can raise, all kinds of stock
keeping in good flesh upon it without
any grain whatever, including his work
horses, unless they are constantly driv-
en-. He last year secured three cuttings
and then had fall feed a foot high until
the middle of November, and all this
without irrigation. Which of these two
men is right?

Africa and Home Seekers.

We are asked whether Africa POS
sesses those qualities which will make
it a desirable home for white men seek
ing farms. No one of the several conti-
nents hss more marked characteristics
than Africa. The rich lowlands border
ing the ocean are probably the most
~unhealthful region in the whole world,
so unhealthful that it is impossible for
a white man to live there The largest
and most arid desert in the world is
found in the northern portion of this
continent. The country neal the source
of the Nile and almost under the eQua-
tor, while possessing a healthful eleva-
ton, abundant timber and rainfall, will
always be the home of the black man.
The southern portion of the continent,
occupied by the Beers and different ma
tive tribes, while possessing a more
temperate climate, will probably al
ways be a pastoral country. 1t may be
said in a word that Africa as a whole
is a purely tropical coL-Itry, and as
such its conditions will not favor its
settlement by white peorle from the
temperate

Some Wonderful Migrations.

The wild life of Ibis country is so
nearly wiped out by our modern civil
ization that stories relating to it of the
pioneer days are hard to believe. We
recall q wonderful migration of black
and gray squirrels which took place on
the outskirts of the big Wisconsin tim
Der in the year 1855. Along in October
of that year these little rodents could
be seen by the score at any hour of the
day for a period of ten days scamper-
ing along the rail fences, all bound in
a southwesterly direction. Every clump
of trees in the c%learings in their line OF
march was filled with them, and n
could stand near a rail fence shoot
at them all day long as fast as he could
load and fire. Another migration OF eX-
traordinary proportions in those days
was that of the wild pigeons, which in
flocks. millions in number, darkened
the skies and took hours to pass a CIV
en point-a destroying host which
swept the farmers newly sown grain
fields as with a broom. In a smaller
way in an early day the blackbirds-
the yellow and black grackles and the
redwing-might be seen in the fall OF
the year migrating south in flocks al
most equal in number to the pigeons.
They were one of the worst enemies
the pioneer farmer had to contend
with. The squirrels and the pigeons
are all gone, and only in the ilarshy
sections of the country are any OF the
blackbirds left to speak.

FINE LAND
Observations During a Visit to In
dian Territory.

There Is some of the finest agricul-
tural land in the United States within
the borders of Indian territory" said
r. N. B%utterworth of New York TO a
Washington Star man. IL have recent
ly spent several months in the land of
the Indians and was struck with the
fine rich soil and the well watered
fields. There are also large tracts of
wooded country where there is much
good timber waiting the ak of the set
tier. The weather is temperate, and
think there is u great future for that
section.
THE allotment OF land to the Indians
by the government has been very near
ly completed. Each Indian Will be
awarded about 800 ares, worth about
1925 an acre. The division has been
made with the Creeks and Cherokees
and that with the Choctaws and Chick
asaws will be made during the next six
weeks. OF the allotment made to each
Indian he will be allowed to sell an
eighth Of it after the first year, or he
may dispose of half of ii after five years
but the remainder must be kept as a
homestead for twenty years. This in
sures their never being without q home,
and as the land is productive, they
should be able to make a fair income
annually. At present there are no
white settlers owning property in the
territory, but some of them have leased
land from the Indians, this being allow
able under the conditions laid down by
the government. In fact. there are SC
many under this condition that the
whites outnumber the Indians nearly
four to one, and there are about 1907 0C
