HORTICULTURAL NOTES
by f. WALDEN

often mistaken for sun scald. The
most important parts Of the tree al
fected by this blight are the inner
bark or cambium layer on the one
side of which wood is formed and
bark on the other. Under the micro
scope it is clearly seen that the stored
starch disappears; hence, the organ
ism which kills it has been called
the Starch destroying bacillus" 1t
was not until the year 1878 that w.
7. Burrill, professor of botany in the
University of Illinois, made the dis
covery that it was a bacterial disease
and likewise infectious and could be
communicated to healthy limbs by in
oculation with the gummy emulation
of a diseased tree.
Our readers are not so much inter
ested in a description of the disease
or of the bacillus which causes it as
they are to know how to treat it.
There are two methods of treatment;
one to put the tree into a condition
that can withstan the attack of the
blight microbe, and the other to get
rid of it. Any means used for hinder
ing the attack of the micrObe restraints
the full development of the tree, as
the very conditions which stimulate
growth also stimulate the spread of
the microbe Hence, heavy manuring
and late cultivation should be avoided
so that the trees may ripen their
wood One of the best methods Of
doing this is to seed down to clover,
which, by it's use Of the moisture in
the ground WI. prevent too rapid fall
growth and hasten the ripening of the
wood. There is no use talking about
spraying because no spray that can
be used will reach the microbe that is
in the cambium layer.
The other method and the only true
one, is to cut out and burn all the
affected parts of the tree, cutting we'll
below the apparently affected portion,
for the reason that the effects of the
bacteria are not Immediately visible.
We refer to this now because the
proper time to cut away these dead
limbs and twigs is after growth has
ceased and before it begins; any time
betwixt now and next spring. Where
the bark of the trunk is affected the
affected part should be cut out and the
wound covered with lead and oil
paint. The same treatment should be
used where limbs over half inch in
diameter are cut off.
This is another of the cases where
farmers need to act in cooperation
for the reason that the bees in the
spring Of the year spread this dis
ease; therefore, even though it may
be exterminated from one orchard,
that orchard may be reinfected by
bees coming from orchards of neigh
bors who have failed to protect them
selves against this pest of all orchards,
and particularly of the pear orchard.

for the favor of replies-either per-

| am contemplating planting a
small commercial apple orchard-6 to
10 acres-and would like to be advised
as to what varieties to plant. l like
the rapid growth and early and abund-
ant bearing of the Ben Davis, and am
somewhat disposed to plant it; but
one nurseryman informs me that the
WAGNER, Grimes Golden and Rome
Beauty grow as rapidly and bear as
early and abundantly as the Ben Da-
Wis.
What do you think of them?
want one or two, or three varieties
for the main body of trees, and want
those that will prove most profitable

cannot agree with the nursery
man referred to above I know of no
apple that is equal to the Ben Davis
in productiveness. There are many
apple trees that bear all or more than
they can stand up under, and yet are
not nearly so productive as the Ben
Davis That may seem 1ncon-
sistent, but the fact is the Ben Davis
tree at the same age is very much
larger. A forty gallon barrel holds
more than a ten gallon key, though
both may be absolutely full. If there
is any apple grown that at the same
age, tree for tree and acre for acre,
will equal the Ben Davis, l don't know
it. The Grimes Golden will not pro-
duce 40 per cent of the apples that the
Ben Davis will. I have them growing
side by side and of the same age
and know of what | write. The Rome
Beauty will come much nearer to the
productiveness of the Ben Davis, but
will fall short 25 per cent. Some
years other apples will come up to the
old Ben, but other years they will
fall far short.
Now after all this is said | would
not advise any one to plant the Ben
Davis to any great extent. 1t is
poor seller except when apples are
very scarce. l have a good many Ben
Davis in bearing, but shall top work
them to Spitzenberg, Newtown, Jona-
than, Rome Beauty and Winesap
These are the ready sellers now and
| see no good reason to doubt but
they will continue as such.

SALE OF
BIG DITCH

The franchise is to be offered at noon
by Land Commissioner Pratt. The
bidders and their attorneys will be
present, also Deputy Attorney General
Peters, to represent the Territory in
any disputes that may aise. 1t is
reported that Gehr will protest against
the sale and there is talk of an injunc-
ton to stop it.
The ditch franchise has been before
the Territorial government for about
three years now. 1t was discussed at
great length by Governor Dole and
the heads of departments with inter
ested parties and over two years ago
satisfactory settlement was arrived
at, which was suddenly knocked out by
a ruling from Washington that the
Territory had not power to issue the
franchise. The matter was taken up
at Washington, and then referred
back here for settlement.

Nothing but an injunction from the
courts or an order from the Governor
can stop the sale of the Kohala ditch
franchise tomorrow" said Land Com
missioner Pratt this morning An Of
the government officials who have had
to do with the proposition are tired of
it and will be glad to see it settled.
There is a possibility, however, that
Gehr or others may force another de-
lay.
1t is now said that there will be only
one bid for the ditch franchise and
that this will be the bid of the Nc
Crosson interests. The latter have
secured from the Bishop estate a lease
,ls water rights and right of way which
are said to be necessary to the holders
of the big ditch franchise. 1t is stated
that this shuts out other bidders. Gehr
however, says that he will be on
hand to keep up his fight for the fran
chise.

SAILOR SHORTAGE DELAY SHIPS

There is a very serious shortage of
sailors in port. No less than four
vessels are tied up for lack of crews.
The ship William p. Frye and ship I.
f. Chapman are loaded with sugar
and are ready to sail for Delaware
Breal1water but lack of men to
handle the vessels causes a delay in
the departure of those boats. The
schooner j. II. Lunsmann was to have
gone out today for Portland but a
shortage of men necessitates her re-
naming until tomorrow and perhaps
later The schooner Americana was
also to have gone out today but she
has no crew.

Inspectors
At SOIaCe

Customs inspectors are now allowed
on the naval wharves. Instructions to
this effect were received today by the
local naval authorities whereby the
Customs inspectors will be permitted
to attend to the enforcement of the
regulations with the Solace.
Yesterday when the Solace came here
the Customs inspectors were not allow
ed to go on the Naval wharves. SEN
tries were placed at the gates and the
inspectors were kept away. The idea
of this was for the naval authorities to
attend 20 the enforcement of the Gus
toms regulations The enforcement
was not apparently done very well
however for, according to reliable in
formation, various packages were per-
mitted By the sentries or those sup
posed to be attending to the Customs
work to pass. The inspectors re-
malned outside of the wharf and did
their work there, seizng such things
as they had reason to suspect were
dutiable.
This morning however cable instruc-
tions came to the naval station order
ing change in this method of enforc-
ing the customs duty. The inspectors
were directed to be permitted to go
on the wharf and attend to that work.
The result was that the inspectors have
been on the wharf and at the gang
way of the vessel today as is done with
any merchant vessel.

EmbeZZlGrS
Must Suffer
CARTER DECLARES THAT THE
GOVERNMENT WILL INSIST ON
PROSECUTION OF EVERY CASE.

The next legislature will probably
make investigation into the water
works embezzlement case. There are
rumors that the shortage is quite an
old one and one report even has it
that it became known when a commit
tee of the last legislature audited the
books of the bureau, but was con-
doned. Governor Carter has made
some close Investigations and it is
said that these reports are untrue.
Another report which reached the
governor was that Superintendent
Brown had knowledge of Richardson's
shortage and had suspended him and
given him time to make up the a
mount. This rumor was made the
subjecS of conference with the High
Sheriff Auditor, superintendent Hollo-
way ara Brown and Secretary Atkin
son and the governor. After an inves-
tigation Brown was exonerated from
the implied charge of having allowed
the offense to go unpunished.
Governor Carter has declared in fa-
vor of a vigorous campaign against
the gambling joints which are held
responsible for Richardson's troubles
and those of others. The policy of
condoning embezzlements when the a
mount is made up is also ended as
tCOntlnued to page eight.)

ping masters to get men for the ves-
sells but thus far the supply is very
slow. Natives, japanese and almost
any men with experience will be taken
as the masters want to get their yes
sells away from port.
There has been quite a big call for
sailors from outside ports About p
men left by the Kinau Wednesday for
Hilo to go aboard the ship Susquehana.
The ship Henry Willard at Eleele and
the bark Star of Bengal at Makaweli
also took men from this port. The
probabilities are that when the veS-
sells do get away it viii be with mixed
crews. Even the Sailors Union is hard
up for men to put aboard the vessels.
