Fertilizer
Is Sill a
Problem

G. F. Eckart. chairman OF the com.
mittee on fertilization. Of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association, at this
mornings session of the 1905 conven-
ton, read a most interesting report,
from which the following extracts are
made:
while considerable attention has
been given to the subject of fertiliza-
ton in these Islands and experiments
lave been pursued from time to time
20 throw much needed light upon the
action of fertllizing materials on the
soils of the various plantations. much
more remains to be done along such
lines before somewhat definite knowl.
edge can take the place of many spec.
ulative theories which are offered in
explanation of numerous soil and fer.
tilizer problems. The plantation man.
agcr Of the Hawaiian Islands can profit
but little from the experimental work
carried on in other countries where not
only the soil and climatic conditions
are radically different from those he is
accustomed to. but where likewise o
considerable variation in the compo.
sition of canes grown, allows very diff
erent quantities and proportions of the
plant food materials to be extracted
from the soil. DR.. J. ID. Kobus, of the
East Java Experiment Station, has
figured out that while the total miner.
al matter withdrawn from the soil per
acre by II Hawaiian varieties of cane
amounts to $3.50 pounds, in Java the
average quantity used by 80 varieties
was only ITO pounds.
The subject of fertilization becomes
very broad one and. as has been stat
cd In various committee reports, must
be solved in large measure by each
plantation manager for his particular
conditions.
Probably In no other country of the
world does greater variety of condi.
tons prevail both as regards soil and
climate than in the Hawaiian Islands
and nowhere is there a greater need
of cooperation between the plantation
field and the laboratory in solving the
question OF economical fertilization.
The substations which are being estab-
lished by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association will prove of special value
In this connection and the results OBJ.
tanned from the experiments which are
being pursued will assist in the clear.
ing up of number Of disputed ques-
tons. The manager. however. can with
profit both TO the individual interests
of his particular company and to the
sugar industry at large, go further in.
TO the solution of many fertilizer prob
lens by properly conducted expert.
ments under mis- own supervision and
practical tests on following, green ma.
nuring, times for fertilizing, econom-
ical limits as to amounts of fertilizer
required and utilization OF by.products
from the mill and stables, with the as
surance OF gaining store of more ac.
curate Information concerning this
very important subject.

LOW Would ENCOURAGE
CANE FIELD Inventions

James A. Low, chairman Of the com.
mittee on labor.saving devices. has the
following to say in his report to the
sugar planters in annual convention:
II the executive of this Association
would agree to appropriate few thou.
sand dollars to be used first towards
perIocting and putting in operation a
machine for the loading of cane of a
design for the picking up and contin.
uously Clcvating the cane: device
that would do away with the entire
hand labor: one that would pick the
cane from the ground and elevate IL
into the wagons, similar to the old
style header machines which deliver
ears or heads of grain into header wa
CONS from whence It is hauled to a
threshing machine, so that the opera
ton would be practically the same,
wagons driving alongside to receive
the cane and from there taking it to
the main lines of railroad or main
lines Of flumc, where stationary cranes
could be arranged at different sta.
tions. or where large portable steam
crane hoists on cars or on wagons
might be placed for the purpose of
transferring the loads to the cars or
to fiume platform; even II at first a
device of this nature had some minor
defects such as failure to do perfect,
clean work, leaving some scattered
canes and the picking up of some,
trash, then something would be accom-.
plished BY this do not mean to take
up every patentee's petty device, but
would like to see responsible manu-.
featuring firms encouraged to make
experiments whereby their apparatus
might be adapted to our needs. A ma.
chine of this nature would displace
hundreds of hand unskilled labor on
each plantation, thereby replenishing
the supply for other work. 1t would
increase the semi.skilled labor and
number of mules In service without in.
creasing the cost Machines which do
not automatically pick up the cane as
labor saving devices are of small ben.
eft to the present labor problem, for
the fact remains that hand labor is
necessary with the device.
Cranes similar to what Is now being
used throughout the Islands and erro.
neously classed as cane leaders,
when in point Of fact they are only
mechanical devices for transferring
the cane, which, in all cases has been
gathered, assembled and bundled or
loaded by hand into vehicles OF some
kind, only perform one-half of the
work

THiRTY.FivE YEARS AGO n. c.
WATSON BEGAN INDUSTRY.
$4,000 CARLOADS SHIPPED
THE LAST YEAR.

II. c. Watson and wife OF Greeley,
Colo, are stopping at the Hawaiian
hotel. They are starting on a tour of
the world that will continue nearly a
year Mr.. Watson was one of the first
settlers at Greeley, where the world
famous potatoes are raised And fur.
thermore he and another man, William
McAllister, now general agent Of the
Southern Pacific at Denver, planted
the first crop Of potaties that was
ever grown in the ground that made

world over where "spuds" are eaten.
For many years Mr.. Watson has been
In the commission business at Greeley.
Since planting the first potatoes he
has remained in the one place, made a
success of business owns number of
farms In that vicinity and is now en-
joying the benefits of his well.spent
life. He is the president of the bust.
ness at Greeley and during his alb.
sence. the longest vacation he ever
had in his life, his son. born and
brought up where the finest potatoes
In the world grow, will look after the
business.
Horace Greeley, in whose memory
the town Of Greeley was named, was
the first treasurer Of a colony Of set.
tiers organized in the New York Trib.
une Office to go west and grow up with
the country" Mr.. Greeley did not &C.
company the expedition to the fields OF
the great potato-to- be.country but
some months later visited the little
Colorado colony.
Mr.. Watson was among the first ar.
rivals and assisted in laying out and
locating what was then nothing but
barren lands and what later developed
into the greatest potato-raising dis
trict on the face OF the earth. In com.
pany with Mr.. McAlister, both OF
whom had had some experience in az.
riculture, found just the soil they had
been looking for for years and decided
that that spot should be their future.
Within a short while they had pur.
chased their seed and planted the first
potatoes in that part of the country.
Everybody knows the result. Greeley
potatoes are shipped all over the globe.
The initial planting of "spuds" at Gree.
ley was accomplished little over 80
years ago. Just to give the reader an
idea of what the industry has level.
oped into Mr.. Watson states that 1900
cars of potatoes We're shipped from tho
town last season. And every car was

capacity. These potatoes satisfied tho
appetites OF kings, queens, princes and
many other nobilities as we'll

States and his family, on more than
one occasion.
Mr. Watson and his wife arrived OH
the Siberia. They will leave for tho
Orient on the Mongolia. After spend.
ing the winter and spring OF 1908
abroad visiting all the countries and
places of interest. they will return to
their home in Colorado by way of New
York. Mr.. Watson likes Honolulu. He
has spent much time here investigating
the taro industry.

LETTER WRITERS BUSY

Considerable complaint was heard
among the merchants last night be-
cause of the short stay at this port
made by the s. S. Doric yesterday. She
got in here about 3 o'clock in the after
noon and departed four hours later.
Although she had no freight to take
on here the general opinion was that
she would at least remain at her dock
until midnight. A number of business
men put off writing letters until after
dinner. Then along about dark they
made the startling discovery that the
coast ship was going to sail within an
hour or so. This caused some e:>'ite-
ment and a number OF people nearly
missed their dinners. Stenographers
were the busiest people in town. Some
of the business Offices have no electric
lights and lamps wre put into use to
finish the letters that must go out by
the Doric. And then there was a run
TO the dock by the manager or propri.
etor OF the business himself.

SAVING IN SUGAR

Chemist G. Giacometti of Olaa sugar
mill, reporting to the committee on
Manufacture of the Planters Associa,
ton, says: THE introduction of the
Hersey dryer into the sugar mill is a
decided step in the right direction,
adding greatly to the guarantee that
the sugars will arrive at destination
without deterioration, besides enabling
us to ship about one per cent more
molasses, retaining the former polar
ization. This, of course, means that
after working the first eight or ten
thousand tons Of sugar the dryer has
paid for itself.

ASIScoyGRUoUs SOCIALIST.

Nj. Gustave Nerve, the French Social ist and apostle of peace at any price, has just discovered that he can't eat his cake and have it too He recently made formal application to be admit ted to the Paris bar. The decision of the Council of the Order is that ''by persistent provocation to acts which fall under the application of the penal law and which are reproyed by the universal conscience, N. Herve has per- sonally debarred himself from access to a profession the first duty of which consists in respect and observation of the laws The text of the decision of the Order of Barristers recalls several of NJ. Herve's most violent utterances, among them his recommendation to the reserves to refuse to march in case of mobilization and to retort by immediate strike or mutiny.
 Probably this wont make M. Herve any less Social than he has been, but 1t may convince him that he has not been entirely consistent.

ates. for they do not feel obliged to marry in order to escape poverty or dependence. and marry more fre- quently educated men who desire con- genial companionship. There are ac- cordingly fewer divorces among them. Their children are limited by the same causes which are dominant In the soci- ety to which they belong. Excessive mentality may interfere with fecundity, but the fact is there is very little ex- .cesslve mentality at present either in colleges for men or for women. The leading studies of a college course can- not be considered either as masculine or as feminine, but as intellectual, and must be regulated by those principles that determine the growth of all intel lectual life. The sexual differentiation desired should be secured by different modes of life rather than by different studies. The general culture which produces sound judgment is a good preparation for any vocation to which a woman may be called.
 This is all pretty sound, and it fs especially true that there is very little excessive mentality at present either in colleges for men or women.

heroic Admiral died. Like the Victory, the Constitution is a symbol. The question is not as Mfr William R. IhayeF points out. ''tne value Of the ship, but the value Of the sentiment, and that can never be replaced at any cost. Mir, Bonaparte may be surprised , to find how great that value Is. But ehe men in Boston who are denouneing his action are certainly not mere senti- mentalists. They are practical men even if they do cherish patriotic ideals. There have been other famous and dearly loved ships in the American Navy; one is FarragT:'s s flagship Hart ford, still in service as a training ship. But the history of the Constitution is particularly identified with the national triumphs at sea. She was Preble's flag ship at Trfnoli in 1898; then she was commanded by Deeature and Rodgers. But she won her first Iaurels fin the famous fight wfab the British shin Guerriere. There were great re1oiclngs oyer the first naval victory of the war. Hulrs exploit at this time was re- peated later by Bainbridge, when the Constitution defeated the Java, But the most remarkable episode in her career was the defeat and capture of two british ships-the Cyane and the Levant-by Captain Stewart. Each was les powerful than the Constitu- tiOn, but together they made a much more powerful antagonist than any single ship, and Stewards skill in keeping his vessel and keeping her from being raked by either of. the oth- CTS was a fine piece of tactics. At the close of the war the Constitution was laid up in Boston for a time. She was then sent on cruise to the Medf- terranean. and on her return to Boston in 1928 went out of commission.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS.

One of the questions of the day is, Does the higher education unfit a wom~ an for marriage and maternity? Per- haps nobody really knows the right answer to that question yet, but Pres ident l.. c. Seelye of Smith college has something to say concerning the mat ter which is well worth attention, as
 follows: They (the women's colleges) take as pupils those who have suffered from hereditary ailments from the re- quirements of fashion and from a low estimate of the dignity and capacity of womanhood. In spite of these draw backs, they have clearly demonstrated woman's physical and intellectual ca pacity for collegiate education, and the worth of that education to her in practical life. Their graduates are bet ter qualified both for wifehood and for motherhood. They are as ready to wed as other women when the right man Wooes them, but many causes now lead
 men in active life to postpone marriage, and the longer it is postponed, the less inclinedthe are to assume it's responsi- bilities. Marriages of convenience are not made so often by college gradu-
