In addition TO nitrate of soda, special
ly bought fertilizers, such as lime,
ground coral, fish scrap, muriate of pot
ash, tankage and mixture of nitrate of
soda and sulphate of ammonia were ap-
piled. The value of these latter mate
rials, together with the cost of bagging,
mixing of complete fertilizers, and
transportation would bring the total
amount expended for fertilizers to
somewhat over $2,ooo,ooo. Besides these
fertilizers, sghich were bought, large

On one plantation, as result of care
ful fertilization, gain of 100 per cent
in sugar was obtained over unfertilized
land. On very fertile soils, which re-
spond less to fertilization, a gain of 40
per cent has been reached through the
use of suitable fertilizing material
Almost as much attention has been
given TO cultivation as to fertiiiza-
ton, and owing to the diversity of
methods little can be said on the sub
ject in brief report of this nature
The most approved patterns os agricuI-
tural implements are used, and specially
constructed plows, harrows, etc, have
been adopted in some instances for the
thorough preparation and cultivation of
the soil. Steam plows are used on many
estates, and deep blowing with moderate
subsoiling are practiced where the depth
of the staple will permit. In the rainy
districts the cost of stripping, /, e., re-
moving the dried leaves from the cane
and keeping down weeds, are large items
IN the expense of cultivation.
During the last several years the cane
fields of the Hawaiian Islands have been
afflicted with serious pest, termed the
leaf hopper (Perkinsie1la. saccharicida),
which on many estates has greatly re-
iuced the yield Of the 1904 crop. Since
getting foothold in the Territory IL
has been noticed on seed cane arriving
from Queensland and on Chinese cane
imported for eating purposes by the
Chinese population. 1t very probably
was received originally from either
Queensland or China, where il is not

irrigation includes the installation of
pumps, construction of bitches and res
ervoirs, tunneling, and the labor of ap-
plying water to the cane burrows. The
expense incurred in the making of Ha
waiian irrigation bitches may be con-
ceived when the obstacles encountered
in this line of engineering work are con-
Sidered The headworks of the Maka-
we'll ditch, for instance, involve 20 tun-
nels of continuous length of S miles,
7 feet wide and 2 feet high excavated
in the solid rock and built on a grade of
s feet per mile, which will give daily
capacity of over 6o,ooo,ooo gallons when

About 100000 gallons are used per

quantity is pumped to maximum
height of $50 feet.
A careful test conducted at the expe-
rirnert station of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association in Honolulu
showed that without irrigation it was
only possible to obtain 1000 pounds, or
less than / short ton of sugar per acre
This was with rainfall of 32.5 inches
per year. The largest of the irrigated
plantations have much smaller ram

be possible to harvest even the small

TRIAL Of BAuOU
LIBEL. CASE BEGINS

The libel case which s. NJ. Ballou
instituted against Col. Sam. Parker, on
the grounds Of certain alleged libsllous
statements made In connection with the
Kohala ditch matter, came up for trial
this morning before Judge Lindsay.
An array of legal talent had girded It's
armor for the combat. The defense
was represented by ]. A. Magoon, Judge
Whiting and r. w. Breckons, while A.
q. NJ. Robertson stood on Ballou's side.
Twelve jurors were soon passed for
cause but the peremptory challenges
exhausted the panel after the opposing
sides had excused one juror each. The
prosecution challenged Lawrence II.
Dee and the defense l. Levingston. The
court consequently issued a special
venire for fifteen returnable tomorrow

PRESS EXCLUDED.

When the curtain went up on the
County Committee meeting at Repub.
lican headquarters last night Attorney
General Lorrin Andrews occupied the
center Of the stage. Following the
opening lines Of the play, for II was ap.
parent that some clever amateur
acting was going on. Andrews recited

his part. Pausing uncertainty between
his words he gave 1t out that the atti.
tude Of the business men did not seem
to be much different They wanted
to know how the candidates stood as tn

What the administration had to do
with the County Committee did not
seem clear and no one endeavored to
explain the idea. However, Waterhouse
laboriously went on to say that he had

ment Of the administration.
Mr.. Warehouse said he had seen
some of the business men since Browns
letter had appeared and they did not
seem any more willing to loosen up.
Harry Murray jumped up to say that

money from these people perhaps the
committee could get II from the Vot'
ers.
Warehouse said he was perfectly
willing to resign and let some one else
make try. Murray stated that he had
no idea of suggesting such a thing.
Then Andrews called on those candi.
dates who were not present at the
previous meeting to say they stood
by the resolution passed at the first
meeting, endorsing the Governor.
Brown was not present.
Andrews picked out d. Kalauokalani.
Jr.. candidate for County Clerk.
"You are familiar with the resolution
endorsing President Roosevelt. Gov.
ernor Carter and" began Andrews.
Kalauokalani said that he had pledg.
ed himself to support the party princi-
pies and that he would stand by the
ticket. He said nothing about endors-
Ing the Governor. This occasioned no
remark, coming from some one other
than A. NJ. Brown.
Andrew Cox and Chris Holt said
they stood by the resolution. they had
no objection In endorsing II.

No DECISION YET
IN THE
COUNTY ACT CASE

In spite of anxious expectations tho
Supreme Court met and adjourned this
morning without rendering a decision
In the County Act test case. Many ex.
pected that decision would be likely
to he rendered. II being argued that
while II generally takes the court Ion
come to the conclusion that II had no
jurisdiction, as contended by the de-
Tense In NJ. +. Prosser's argument. and
would therefore be able to render
speedy decision.
These hopes were, however. doomed
to disappointment. At 10 o'clock the
defenders OF the Act, II. Il. Cooper and
NJ. +. Prosser, were present, while the
prosecutor. II. Il. Highton. arrived
soon afterwards. Chief Justice Frear
alone appeared on the bench. and Il
was noted with some disappointment
that the decision was not forthcoming
Cooper stated that he decided to
make a motion In regard to che appeal
In the case OF Bierce vs.. Hutchins. but
was informed that this was chambers
matter. The court then adjourned un.
Ill 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The fate OF the County Act, which
now rests In the hands Of the court.
was the subject Of considerable dis.
cussion In the Judiciary building this
morning. The unanimous opinion
seemed to be that the court must de.
eide In favor Of the Act or at least de-
cline to take Jurisdiction. There was
but little apprehension that the Act
would be killed. IL this be not the case,
the refusal Of the court to accept briefs
will go on record as most extraordi-
nary.
II was noticed as a very significant
fact that the books from which High.
ton had taken his authorities this
morning remained In the court room,
while those used by the defense had
been taken away, evidently by the
court. The court yesterday asked that
the authorities be left in the room In
order that II could refer to them.

The mines are pouring forti
their treasures Of lead, silver and
gold in greater quantities than
ever before in the history Of the
state, and the output Of these
metals is each day being in'

The farmers are increasing the
acreage Of their tilla bic lands in
order to meet the increased de-
mands for their products, which
as fast as they mature are dis

The stockmen, with possibly

Labor finds steady employment

DEATH DUE TO FALL
PAT TooMEY SUccUMRs THIS
AFTERNOON TO A PECULIAR
ACCIDENT.

Pat Toomey died at 1925 o'clock
this afternoon, the result of fall on
last Friday evening and resulting
.concussion of the Drain. Toomey
and some companions were eating
oysters when from some unaccount-
able reason the man choked and
strangled. He has been suffering
with acute rheumatic attacks for
some months past and was quite
weak. The strangulatio1 quickly
rendered him helpless and he fell
quite heavily to the floor. He ST dcl
the back of his head against the
floor and was rendered unconscious
by the force of the fall. A blood clot
formed at the base of the brain and
the suffering of the patient was in.
tense up to the time of his death. Be
tween the time of the accident and
his death the patient passed through
twenty-five violent convulsions, and
was unconscious the greater part o.
the time. .k
The deceased leaves a wife, three
children, mother and two sisters. The
funeral will be held from st. Mary's
church at 1920 o'clock Wednesday
morning and interment will be made
in the Catholic cemetery.
