BATTLE WITH THE CUT
WORM On WA|MEA PLAINS
Hard Luck in Small Farming Which May be
Terminated by the introduction of the

! bored into his corn. And when they
attacked his rhubarb he was ready to
! give up. Last year he left the place,
! abandoned his farm and it is now 1eas-
ed to Japanese who grow vegetables
for themselves and have kept the
worms away from the rhubarb. The
rhubarb is still being marketed in Ho-
nolulu.
Some time before that also a good
deal of Wainlea land was put in straw
berries. The berries were fine, sweet
favored and luscious and they were
canned for marketing. AS much as
hundred pounds a day were canned
and shipped to Honolulu. Then the
roads became impossible, the berries
could not be shipped to market and the
enterprise was abandoned. The cut
worms do not attack strawberries here,
the roads are fairly good and there is
chance for practical man to make
strawberry cultivation a success again.
F. w. Carter, manager of the Parker
ranch, also experimental with small
farming. He planted corn. One year
it did well, but the next year the cut
worms destroyed the young plants.
Altogether the Parker ranch has spent
several thousand dollars in experiments
and the present policy offers every en-
couragement to the small farmer.
Several attempts have been made to
get rid of the unwelcome pest. Paris
green has been tried and is a partial
success. One suggestion made by D.
L. Van Dine was the digging of holes
or trenches about the planted fields.
This was tried and ditch six feet deep
and two feet wide was filed with mil
lions of the worms-almost TO the top
But the winged moth or butterfly de-
posted it's eggs within the fields and
the worms were as numerous as ever.
Manager Carter suggests one expert
ment which has never been tried-the
Introduction of the swallow and this
remedy may yet be the means which
will rid the country of the destructive
pest.

WAIMEA, Jan. 25.-Waimea is the
is rich, water is plenty, fruits and
vegetables grow well, but-but until the
poko-the destructive cut-worn, is
eliminated, Waimea might as well be in
the center of the Sahara desert.
There are dozen homesteads in the
Waimea plains, and there is land in
plenty-and of fine quality, for home
seekers. but the cut-worm is in the
way There are millions of them-and
millions of them have been slaughter
ed, but for every one that is killed it
seems as if a dozen takes its place. Men
from the Experiment Station have Wis
tied the place and prescribed a cure,
but the remedy is not effective. 1t is a
pity, too. for if the cut-worm is once
gotten rid of, Waimea will become the
garden spot of the islands.
Small farming has been tried on the
plains-by practical farmers too; men
who knew their business, and men who
were willing to spend their money on
what proved to be a costly experiment.
Long of California came down with
an italian; a practical gardener and
he put several thousands of dollars
into the farm. The first year he plant
ed just a few acres in cabbages
rhubarb and small vegetables. That
year he made it a success and made
money. His cabbages were marketed
in Honolulu at profit. Wilder's Steam
shin Co made him a SDecial rate of
$3.50 ton, which is half the regular
rate, and he shipped hundreds OF mag
nifcent cabbages to Honolulu every
week. The next year, encouraged by
his first success, he planted twenty
acres in cabbages, rhubarb, corn, tur-
nips and other vegetab les. Then the
came. They ate up his cab
bages, they devoured his turnips, they

Not a creature was stirring,
Not even mouse.
When mama awoke with start an6

And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
''Oh, why did we make such a fearful

Mr.. Hance keeps n small boat under a

which had fallen. Mr.. Iiancc. wishing to
assist Brcr Tarrypin in getting his
breakfast. gathered some mulbefrieS and
pitched them to HIM one at time. In
Il very short time the tcrrapin began to
catch the berries in his mouth exactly
rs they were thrown to him. Every day
afterWard Il slight knock on the side
of the boat would bring the terrapiu out
for his mulberrics. and Mr.. Hance oftel
took his friends and visitors Ia see his
pet
On one occaion a fresh young man
threw Il piece of tobacco to the terrapin
instead of a mulberry. Br'cr Tarwpin
retired mt once in disgust and for DAYS
afterward refused To come when called.
Although MIR Hance finally induced him
70 come again for his mulbcrries. Br'er
