MAUI, July 2S.-Kula has raised an
season. The prices asked on the field
vary from rs to so cents a hundred
weight. In truth the drop in prices has
been so great that some of the plan
ters have buried their crop to await
rise.
To bury potatoes in the ground is
against all rules of agricultural
science, but the atmosphere of Kula is
so dry that this can be done with
safety there. The mode of procedure
is as follows: A large hole is ex-
cavated and the bottom lined with
toe sare placed inside and the top
overspread with leaves which in turn is
covered with earth. In this way the
potatoes are kept a long time without
sprouting.
The Kula farmers of the upper lands
have raised a good corn crop this
year, but the corn of the lower lands
has been dried and withered by the
long-continued drought.
FINANCES OF MAUI COUNTY.
Maui county should not suffer for
revenue. 1t is stated that the Maui
taX-assessor raised the values of su-
gar property greatly this year. The
valuation of Puunene alone was rails
ed $2,000,000 which means at 1 per cent.
an increase in the county income of
$4,000. Then the income tax from
several corporations should also bring
in quite an increase of revenue over
last year. Financial matters ought to
be improving all over the Territory
PLANTING LOTS OF TREES.
Tree-planting is becoming quite a
fad among some of the island corpor-
atoms. The Maui Agricultural Co., H.
c. & S. Co., HaleakaIa Ranch Co. and
others spend a large amount annually
in setting out trees.
VIM. Hannestdd, who has charge of
the tree planting at Kailiili (Maka-g
wao) for the Maui Agricultural Co.,
put out $4,000 trees this last year.
Among them We're 10000 Monterey
cyprus and of course MANY blue gum
trees which grow so fast
at Kailiili that they can not resist the
wind and have to be held up with
the use of sticks. 1t is the wish of the
company TO plant out 100000 trees per
annum for a number of years at Ka-
iliili.
The Haleakala Ranch Co. has plant

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing. and when il is entire
~ closed, Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh. which is nothing but an in
