We have one or two inquiries about
speltz as crop. Like other crops, this
one has its place determined largely by
the question of latitude and rainfall.
We do not think that where wheat,
oats, barley. rye and corn can be sue
cessfully grown there is any place for
it. 1t is especially fitted for the semi
arid sections of the west and north
west, where the rainfall averages from
ten to fifteen inches. 1t withstands
drought and the hot winds better than
any of our common cereals and pro-
duces a crop of equal feeding value
with oats.

The canneries of the west are now
making their contracts for the crop of
sweet corn for 1908. The price being
paid is So per ton, which makes it a
very profitable crop to grow. The yield
in extreme cases is as much as seven
tons per acre. To this should be added
one and a half tons of choice fodder
and the further fact that the crop is in
no sense exhaustive of the soil.

A few days since we Travelled through
a section of the west where scores of
men were busily engaged in digging
out and hauling to the barns the shocks
of corn which were half buried in snow.
Laying aside the waste connected with
this process and viewing it simply from
the standpoint of convenience, surely
the silo has very much to recommend it.

The state of Iowa has taken marked
step in advance in the matter of work
ing the public highways. Hereafter all
road taxes are to be paid in cash. The
good old times are gone never to re-
turn when John Smith would turn up
about o'clock a. m. in response to the
call of the road supervisor, pillow few
burrows alongside the highway so as to
dam up the water and spend much
time lying down in the shade of cot
tonwood tree spinning yarns which he
dare not tell at home, going home at
11:30 and repeating the performance in
the afternoon, getting credit for work
to the amount of $3.50 faithfully ap-
piled on the public highway. John will
now pay his $3.50 in money, and some
man will be Tired to do a days work of
ten hours under the supervision of

will be got for the money.

The American tariff on agricultural
machinery, primarily supposed to pro
mote the upbuilding of factories for
the production Of such machinery in
this country, is having exactly an op-
posite effect, so far as Canada is con-
cerned. A vast cereal producing terri
tory is being opened up in the Cana
dian northwest, creating an enormous
demand for all kinds of improved
American farm machinery. To hold
her own with us Canada imposes a
duty Of % per cent on all machinery
imported from this country, and nu-
merous factories are now being built
in Canada by American capital to pro-
duce the machinery needed in that
country.

Joseph Emerson Says That People
Should Charter Steamer
for Kona.
AT Last Accounts the Outbreak Continued But
Activity Had Somewhat Decreased--No
Wireless From HiIo Last Night

Surveyor Emerson, whose knowledge
about Mauna Loa and the surrounding
country was gained by years of field
work in his profession, says that the
only way to see the eruption is to char
ter a steamer AMI go to the Kona
coast cruising several miles off shore
and using the vessel as hotel.
Everything points to the fact" said
Mr.. Emerson yesterday. that the out
break is somewhere on the southwest
of Mokuaweoweo. perhaps near Poha-
ku-Hanaiei. I expect the spouting
lava to subside there, if it has MOI
already done so, and appear again at
a lower level, somewhere near the
source of the 1887 flow not far from
Puu Keokeo This point is twenty
miles from the crater. The line thus
designated is The one Of least resist

There are no hotels on shore. The

previous accounts of there being three
considerable vents of activity. Pur-
ser O'Brien of the steamer Helene
made the following report to Wilder's
Steamship Co.:

Fire could be seen at the points OF

Under this head Col. Jones says:
There has practically been a reor-
ganization of the National Guard of
Hawaii since the passage of the new
Militia Law and steady endeavor on
the part of the officers to fit themselves
to perform the duties incumbent on
them Hereunder.
There have been appropriations
made by the Territorial Legislature for
new armories and for the equipment
and necessary current expenses of the
National Guard, under which a wide
range of instruction may be had with
a consequent better state of efficiency
and preparedness for actual field SER

and property may be properly cared
