SMALL GRAIN
EXPERIMENT
Maui Small Farmer
Tries Oats and
Wheat.
Now Shipping Bananas
For Sale on
Coast.
Kula People Lose Corn and Po-
tatoes Because OF Too Early
Planting.

MAUI, April 16.-Mr. E. H. Bailey of
Makawao, who perhaps takes more in
/ terest in agriculture from both a
scientific and practical standpoint than
any other person on the island, has
recently planted for an experiment sew
eraI acres of barley, oats, wheat and
spe1tz, all of which are growing fine
| ly and are at the present time nearly
foot high. He consulted the United
States Experiment Station as to
| the varieties of seeds to be used and
followed the advice freely given. The
oats are called goth century oats, the
barley is one of the latest varieties
known to agricultural science, speltz
is the newest thing in hay, and the
to its glutinous properties.
Mr.. Bailey selected the wheat to
please the many Portuguese residents
of his vicinity. They complain that
the bread made from American flour is
too white and too brittle, not like that
produced in their old home islands.
they prefer to have their favorite food
of an elastic glutinous nature which
can be pulled out and twisted into
long rolls. If this experiment is sue
cessful it is to be hoped that the
tivate macaroni wheat-and the good
1I<7 r
days of 40 when every field was green
with tall waving wheat and Mauiites
made money through the shipment of
the staple to California.
The present season is a good one for
Makawao farmers though planting
has been somewhat delayed by rains,
but has proved unfortunate for the
Kula people whose recent crops of
corn and potatoes have failed owing
to too early planting. the cold winter
rains having killed the young plants.

AGED FRIEND
OF LINCOLN
PASSES AWAY
Special Dispatch to The. Call.

POMONA, April 14.-Dr. Ephriam
Parsons, one of the best known men in
Pomona Valley and formerly a famous
horticultural authority in California
died here to-day at the age of 79 years
He had been i'll for weeks and his
death was not unexpected.
Dr. Parsons was the pioneer grower
of navel oranges as an industry. His
navel orange grove, planted in 1878,
was pictured and quoted all over Eu-
rope and America for dozen years.
He was a wealthy man twenty years
ago, and gave thousands of dollars to
the spiritualistic faith for years. The
death of his wife and daughter chang
ed him, and he lost all his property by
unwise investments. For ten years he
lived in poverty, and had been pension
ed by his friends.
Half a century ago DR.. Parsons was
a close friend of Abraham Lincoln.
Parsons was reared near Springfield,
ILL.,, and Lincoln was a frequent visitor
at Parsons fathers house. For nearly
a year DIR. Parsons read law in the Of
fee of Lincoln & Herdon in Spring
field. He subsequently quit law for
medicine. When he became President
Lincoln made DR.. Parsons head of the
Federal hospital at Columbus, Ohio,
and sent him to inquire into certain
army hospital administrations in
France and Germany.
