What harsh testimony is this?
We would that every owner of
peach, apple, plum and pear orchard
in the billy districts of Texas and adj
Joining states would memorize the
last sentence quoted and i'm a spirit
of conservatism think what clean cul-
ture, after the California system,
means to an orcharding people living
in heavy rain belt!
But as to fruit, we note that where
the grass was moved four or five
times during the year and then piled
as a mulch under the trees, the yield
Of apples was greater than under any
other system. The trees also grew
to the largest size and the cover crop
plot gave next best results, in fruit,
tree growth and soil conditions; the
"sod culture system gave the least
satisfactory returns.
The sod-mulch plot planted to JON
athans made a first crop of 172 apples,
weighing SIG ounces each.
The cover-crop plot produced 70 ap-
pies averaging 4.8 ounces.
The sod-culture plot % apples
weighing 1888 ounces.
Careful study of the root systems
was made and the findings were ex
actly in harmony with fruit yields
and vigor of trees.
In addition to the above a CORES
pondent of Farm and Ranch, in the
same number, compares the merits of
sod grown trees with cultivated or
chards as follows:
Anent the discussion of sod Or
chards versus cultivated orchards,
Prof. John Craig, of Cornell UNIVERSE
ty, in "a recent address, gave the re-
suits of an investigation made COW
ering the yields Of several hundred
orchards both sod and cultivated in
New York state for a period of three
years. The figures show that the
cultivated orchards made much the
largest yield, but it is doubtful wheth-
er the result will be accepted as
measure of the merits Of these two
contrasted systems.
The man who is energetic enough
to give his orchard clean cultivation
is also energetic enough to do many
other things for his orchard which
would have a bearing on the results
and it may be questioned whether
the extra yield of the cultivated or
chards was due entirely to cultiva-
ton. Perhaps it was partly due to
cultivate and partly to other fac
tors. The average fruit trees in grass
may find it difficult to get enough
moisture and plant food to mature
a large crop of fruit and make wood
growth at the same time The aver
age sod orchard is not closely clipped
but is allowed to grow up in high
grass, which is a distinct drain on
both the moisture and the plant food
of the soil. Hay and cereals in an
orchard are distinctly bad under aver
age circumstances, but a grazed or
clipped sod is another matter.
Again, the average sod orchard is
not fertilized. If it were fertilized
it would produce more fruit and

RABBITS ON
THE ISLAND
MaIoIo Expedition Was
Most Pleasant
Affair.

Twenty-one young men on adventure
bent, spent Saturday and yesterday
cruising among the small islands off the
northeast coast of Oahu, having sailed
from Honolulu with the avowed inten-
ton of visiting Bird Island, a. sugar
loaf rock which is dangerous of ap-
proaeh and concerning which there is
slight knowledge. The gasoline schoon-
err Malolo, which had been chartered
for the voyage, was provisioned for
long cruise, and for emergencies, rifles,
shotguns and revolvers We're on the
manifest to the number of score.
With youth at the PROV and Captain
Herb Young at the helm the good ship
signaled a farewell to Diamond Head
Charley and disappeared, dueking into
Hanamu Bay as the first port of call.
Here the anchor was dropped and the
passengers landed. all going in for a
dip behind the reef. The night was
spent here, the only incident of note
being debate between the Irish and
German members of the party as to the
relative Importance of Wilhelm and ST.
Patrick, Teutonic voice floating
through the darkness at the close and
offering to wager four dollars and IF
teen cents that the Kaiser would lead
his troops into Paris before the New
Year There were no takers and sleep
descended upon all.
The voyage was resumed at daybreak
but greatly to the disappointment of
all it was found impossible to make a
landing on Bird Island the swell being
too heavy for safety. Back to Rabbit
Island the course was bent and several
hours were spent there, the rabbits fall
ing victims to the nimrods at the rate
of one per hour. There are evidently
plenty of the Dummies there, but they
are exceedingly gun-shy, lodging into
their holes as soon as visitors land and
staying there until danger has passed. |
A few specimens of Hawaiian terms
were secured. for the Bishop Museum
and a number of very pretty shell
specimens gathered.
During the trip flying fish and por-
poises exhibited themselves alongside
and what other excitement was needed
was supplied in the picking up off the
Moana Hotel of a blown-away row
boat with three natives aboard, who
gladly laid themselves open to libel
for salvage by taking a tow. The
party reached Honolulu at $3.50 last
evening, well satisfied with their cruise. |
On the dock 20, meet them was a GUS
tomhouse officer, who insisted that no
live rabbits nor dead soldiers .,e landed |
None were.
In the party were: w. A. Bryan, of
the Bishop Museum staff; J. H. Beedle, |
representing the Research Club; F. |
Davis, Irving Hurd, Roscoe Perkins, |

The Game.

The Tenth Infantry nine and the
Metropolitan Meat Co.'S team tried
conclusions on the Kapiolani Park dia-
rnond yesterday afternoon, in the pres
ence of fafr-sized crowd.
The soldiers were favorites on ac-
count of their fine showing against the
Diamond Heads on Thursday, but the
form failed to work out and the chop
pingb crowd won all the way.
The fault was Pitcher Fenner's and
yet that individual is more to be
pitied than blamed, for his exertions
on Saturday told on his arm and he
was unable to control the ball.
The beef brigade damned Fenner for
five prime runs in the first innings and
IN their third and fourth essays in
creased their score by two and three
runs respectively.
Then Castle took the ball and only
allowed one tally to be notched against
him until the game ended.
The Tenth Infantry batted out runs
against their opponents IL.

The Tenth DistrIct RaIIy.

The interest manifested September
18th, at the 10th district rally, showed
that the people Of that district are in
tensely interested from an educational
standpoint and are doing their part
towards the upbuilding Of the schools
Of Lawrence County
Until a few days previous to this the
time and place had been announced as
September 9th, at Park Grove, hut
owing TO the fact that Park Grove school
was not In session, the time and place
was changed to September 18th, at
Wayne.
In order that there be no misunder-
standing as to the change, etc, the
District Directors and teachers of
Wayne school had 800 circulars printed
and thorough distribution was made
of same. Arrangements having pre-
viously been made to have picnic din
ner, parade of all schools in the evening
and addresses by Messrs M. l. DeLong
aud J. g. Crews, Elder King and Rev.
Clarence Hosale, NJ, l.. DeLOng to de-
liver the address of welcome.
The morning was devoted very largely
to class work which consisted of work
in photography, arithmetic and reading,
and was very interesting and instructive
Immediately after the speaking which
was at l.30 a parade Of all the schools
was formed under the direction of Jesse
McArtor, and was led by Wayne school
through principal streets of Village.
After the parade the spelling contest
started, which was enjoyed by all from
the beginning and resulted in the selec-
ton of the following delegates;

the ten delegates chosen from the six

Without doubt it is given up to be
