NOTES.
1t is surely Brown ticket, with a
Brown at the head, another at the tail,
and both ride on G. B. & Q. passes.
The G. B. & @. have no cause to COM
plain about not being represented on
the ticket, for four candidates ride on
free transportation furnished by the
railroad.
At meeting Of the township commit
teemen James +. Harvey was named as
chairman of the county central commit
tee for the ensuing year.
The usual courtesy Of making the NOM
ination unanimous was not shown to the
nominees for superintendent and mem
bcr Of the board Of supervisors.
The slate as prepared by the bosses
went through without hitch.
The stand-patters have made good
their threat to relegate every Cummins
man to the rear.
The nomination caused some sore
spots that It will be very hard to heal
between this and election day.
Many Of the audience evidently did
not care to hear Hepburn for large
number left the hall as soon as the work
of the convention was over.
In his speech Hepburn complimented
the republicans Of Decatur county on
the harmony which prevailed among
them in this county. Peter is evident
ly not very we'll informed.
1t is said some of the defeated candi-
dates went home feeling pretty sore.
Mcintosh has broken into the third
term rule, but it remains to be seen
whether the people of Decatur county
want to make q life job out of the
county Offices.
Hepburn's speech for some reason
failed this time to arouse the usual en-
thusiasm among the republicans of De.
catur county.
The Cummins faction do not seem to
be very much enthused over the nomi.

ANNUAL MEETING.
This meeting would regularly have
been held in Hilo, Hawaii, November
18th, but was postponed by vote of the
Executive Committee when, as that
date drew near, it appeared, from va
rious causes, that the meeting would
not be well attended. Consequently the
committee voted to set the meeting in
Honolulu on December 21st.
I call your attention to section of
the bylaws with the suggestion that
an amendment may be necessary there
to.
The outlook for the coming year is
bright one. Our ranges have had a
series of good seasons. Better blood is
being infused into our herds. More
thought is being used in the solving
of ranch problems. There is however
much work to be done. There is no
ranch or dairy in these Islands that
can not be benefited by new ideas.
Folders can be improved. Some one
can show us how to prepare kiawe
beans for fodder so that their true
nutritive value can be utilized and how
to preserve the fodder when so pre-
pared until the next crop of beans come
along.
The recital of work that should be
done could be continued. but I will
not lengthen my report but beg your
indulgence to pardon it's length.
Respectfully submitted,

In addition to these, at least ten
other species were sent over from
Mexico, either for immediate introduc-
ton, or for experimenting on with
view to introduction, if this were safe.
All these, however, failed to survive
the long journey or died from the at
tacks of parasites and fungus dis
eases with which they We're affected.
All the difficulties encountered in i'm
porting the lantana insects from Mex
leo to the Islands have been fully dis
cussed in my earlier papers, and need
not be referred to again on this occa-
sion.
To return to the II imported species
of which adults were obtained alive, I
find that of the IA butterflies and
moths, three species were destroyed by
me as being decidedly dangerous to
other vegetation; two others were not
liberated because they were liable to
become injurious; and one, of which
only a solitary pair were obtained,
failed to breed. Subtracting all these,
eight species of butterflies and moths
were liberated in numbers sufficient to
render their establishment possible.
Three of these species soon showed up
in large numbers-some, four months
after they were liberated; two others
were not seen at all until nine months
after they had been turned loose, but
are both now in very large numbers
and rapidly extending their range;
while of the three others, two at least
viii probably prove to have establish
ed themselves, and the remaining one
to have died out.
OF the two beetles neither have been
seen at present, but one of these was
hardly likely to increase sufficiently to
boone noticeable under two years:
and the other, since we considered it
of minor Importance in its effect on
lantana, has not been looked for in
the spots where 1t was liberated.
OF the two species of flies the sue
cess of the one was instant and phe-
nomenai: the second was also quite
successfully established, but is of
comparatively small economic value.

LATER NOTES ON LANTANA INSECTS

The paper of Entomologist Perkins,
was as follows:
In order to bring up to date the ac-
count of the insects that were i'm
ported from Mexico to check the
growth or spread of lantana, 1 have
drawn up these brief additional notes.
My earlier reports on these insects
have already been published in past
numbers of the Planters Monthly.
Excluding those species of which
only a single mature specimen was OBJ
tanned alive at any one time, and
which consequently could not become
established in the Islands, find that

LANTANA DESTROYING INSECTS.
During March of this year Mr.. Albert
Wilcox. member of our Association,
made the suggestion that an insectory
or bug house be constructed in order
that Prof. Perkins might with greater
ease properly breed the lantana de-
stroying insects. Such a structure was
by permission of the superintendent OF
Public Works Cooper erected at the
Government Nursery on King street,
at Honolulu, at a cost of $125.00 with
funds subscribed mainly from members
of the Association, and collected by
your secretary.
This building constructed with a
shingle roof and wire gauze sides prov
ed great success and demonstrated
that had it been erected sooner some of
the beneficial insects sent from Mexico
which were lost might have been sue
cessfully propagated. :.
A short paper descriptive of the prog
ress of the bugs in their beneficial work
will be presented at this meeting by
Prof. Perkins.

AGRICULTURAL BILL.

During the session of the last Legis-
lature the Committee of the Senate on
Agriculture requested various organiza-
tionS, among them our Association, to
meet and confer on the matter of leg
islation regarding agriculture and its
allied subjects.
Several meetings were had at which
were present besides the Committee of
the Senate and members of the Conn
mittee of the House of Representatives.
representatives from the Planters AS
sociation, Chamber of Commerce and
our Association together with the Of
ficers of the Federal Experiment Sta
ton. The result of these. conferences
led to the drafting of an Agricultural
Bill by L. A. Thurston, Esq. This bill
which provided among other things for
Board of Agriculture and Forestry
became law; the necessary appropria-
tions were passed in due time; and
Governor Dole appointed the follow
ing board: L. A. Thurston,-J. D. Dole.
w. NJ. Giffard, ]. F. Brown and A.
w. Carter. It will be noticed that the
last two named are members of our
Association.
The secretary considers it not pre-
sumptuous on his part to urge the
members of the Association to read this
law carefully. 1t shows that the Ter
ritory is now in a position through its
Board of Agriculture to assist the
breeder of live stock in many ways.
The secretary will send copies of this
law to any member of the Associa-
ton upon application.
1t may be we'll to record that the As
sociation paid for one argument in
favor of the bill by standing the eX-
pense of transporting a majority of the
members of the House and most of the
Senate in hacks to visit the insectory
of Prof. Perkins and to see for them
selves that the insects of Mexico were
really destroying lantana.
HORN FLY.
The scourge of the Horn Fly con-
tinues with us although IN some locali-
ties it is reported to be less virulent
than formerly. The tumble bugs i'm
ported from Mexico through Prof. Koe-
belle and Prof. Perkins have apparently
made no headway, if in fact they sur
viyed the long trip.

New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1903-02-07

A few years ago agricultural
writer's advised Texas farmers to
plow under all trash, cotton
stalks, corn stalks, weeds and
any, as a means of keeping up
the fertility of the land. It was
urged that continuous cropping
and burning of all refuse would
cause the land to get poorer, and
the time hastened when fertilizers
would have to be resOrted to.
Now, and for two years they
advise to burn everything as a
means OF destroying the insects
that are so numerous
This writer holds that it is just
as necessary to keep up the fer
tility of the land now as ever by
blowing under all waste, and it
may be done by systematic farm
ing. If the landlord and tenant
agree. as some of our Van Al
styne farmers advise their ten
ants to do-plant one third in
small grain, one third in corn,
and one-third in cotton. The
system is very simple and easy;
just follow cotton with wheat and
oats, corn with small grain, and
cotton with corn. Break the
stubble about September 1st,
or as late as possible to
prevent weeds from going to
seed. The thing is, to get as
muchgreen growth on the ground
as possible before breaking. If
this is looked after as 1t should
be the land will lose but little, If
any, on account of the grain crop.
Next, gather corn early and
break that land before frost, if
possible, plowing under stalks,
weeds and all. The stalks may
be dragged down sufficiently
with a common iron drag or har-
how. On black land the best
plow is the disc.
This system, if carried out,
has the stubble and corn stalk
land all broke by November 1st.
The cotton land may be drilled in
wheat and oats without breaking,
and the stalks cut with a corn
stalk cutter. and nothing il
burned. -Erchasge.
