CUTS TAP ROOTS
OF COFFEE TREES

HILo, Feb. 24-writing OF coffee
culture in the Hilo Tribune. DR..
Nicholas Russell says:
Coffee has two systems of roots, sur
face ones and the tap root. While
blowing could provide abundantly OF
available soil for the surface roots, It
evidently could not do 1t for the tap
root, sinking several feet down, can
not be plowed so deep.
In such circumstances we have been
compelled to give up our coffee planta-
tions, price or no price, and pass to
banana and cane planting. The diff
Guilty was unsurmountable.
Having still fifteen acres Of coffee
on my homestead, which was reluc-
tant to sacrifice, concentrated my at
tention upon the one row left for ex-
perimenting upon in the sacrificed
twenty-five acre field. This whole field
intended for cane and bananas, was
cleared of stumps, plowed and cross
plowed several times in the way, as IL
there was no row Of coffee trees left.
The pillow was run very close to the
coffee trees, that looked as poorly and
dying as was the rest of the field.
Thus the roots have been heavily
pruned.
A year after blowing, and without
the use of fertilizers, to my surprise
the row of coffee trees has recovered
ant ha,
pearance, sent off new sets of prima-
ries. blossomed and is bearing now a
moderate amount OF berries. 1t prom
ises full next crop. This was encour-
aging, and recently I applied a mix
ture Of potash and bone meal around
every tree.
This experiment makes me think
that the part the tap-root plays with
coffee is only to secure water from the
depth, where 1t has to go after 1t in
its native dry and arid country. In
a rainy district like ours, where soil
is always moist. this root is unneces-
sary and its fate immaterial Impor-
tant alone is the system of surface
roots, whose function is the providing
Of food. Therefore all that is necessa-
ry to insure the longevity and pros
porous condition of a coffee tree in
Olaa is TO improve 1 to 1 1-2 foot of
the upper soil to feed the tree. This
can be effected by blowing, which
transforms the poisonous suboxide In
to an Indifferent oxide, and by super
fetal fertilizing with potash, bone meal
and lime around each tree. On the
ground of this I would suggest that
those, who still own coffee plantations
in our district, should repeat my ex-
pertinent on few rows of their worst
coffee trees. where soil is not rocky
and admits blowing.

Halter SAILS AWAY
ON THE MONGOLIA

Detective Halter was passenger for
the mainland in the Mongolia. 1t is not
known definitely whether he will return
although there are number of cases
pending in which he is interested. Al
so, 1t is whispered bv those in the know
that there is a successor to the detective
in town. And, as nobody knows the
identity of the new man, if there is a
new man, no doubt there will be good
lot of circumspection in certain quarters.
1t is very much easier to keep out OF a
detectives way when you know him.
Halter, by the way. kept out of the way
himself so effectually yesterday that few
of those who went down to see the

Special to Times-Republican.
Muscatine, March 2S.-George M.
Titus, republican nominee for governor
of the state of Iowa, is the sentiment
of some of the leading politicians In
Des Moines, stated John B. Breen this
morning. When in Des Moines ten
days ago, Mr. Breen attended the ses-
sion of the supreme court and heard
many of the statements made by the
prominent men Of the state.
Governor A. B. Cummins stated in
the presence of Mr.. Breen, who by the
way, is democrat, and Carroll Wright
that personally he hoped that the de-
cision Of the supreme court would be
against the constitutionality of the
biennial amendment, even tho 1t
would GUST him from office. Governor
Cummins then pointed over his Shout
der at G.. NJ. Titus and intimated that
there was the next governor of the
state.
Secretary Shaw, Governor Cum
Minis and many of the members of the
supreme court and the legislature are
in favor of the nomination Of Mr.
Titus" continued Mr.. Breen. II have
been in many Of the larger cities of
the state during the last few months
and from all that can learn there is
no man better thought Of than Mr..
Titus. do not think that there is any
doubt but what he will receive the
nomination"
Should G.. M. Titus be elected gov
ernor of the state 1t will be the first
time that a man from this county has
held that high office. His many friends
in the city will be pleased to learn of
the good feeling for Mr.. Titus and will
wish him much success.
Mr.. Titus was out of the city today

matter.

Unofficial returns indicate majority
of over 500 out OF total vote of $500.
For the past two or three years the
Independent telephone companies that
surround the city have been clamor-
ing for local connections, and ineffec-
tual efforts have been made to gain
a foothold here. The general and APP
parently important nature of the de-
mand finally induced number Of To-
cal capitalists to take up the matter
and form company. After months
of diplomatic labor the council was in
duced to pass the ordinance and allow
the question to come to a vote. The
Nebraska Telephone Company, which
controls the field at this place. made
an active fight against the passage of
the ordinance.

Iowa, some time ago, in which several

to see what kind of wreck it would
make. He is German and has only

was held in the several wards yester-
day. In the Third ward Leo b. Marks
was elected alderman without opposi-

The retiring council has been a

pie of Eldora in a praiseworthy man
nar. With a new city grade estab-
lished and complete sewage system
constructed, together with the many
other details of work performed it has
made very busy year. 1t is hoped
the incoming council will accomplish
as much for the city as the one whose
term has just expired.
