PLANTERS TO MEET
MONDAY MORNING

Some weeks ago DR.. Cobb delivered
a very important lecture before the di-
rectors of the planters association. His
subject was fungus growths and root
diseases of cane. He had travelled
about the islands and visited all of the
various plantations studying condi-
tions. The directors regarded the lee
ture as so highly important, that they
voted to have the plantation managers
invited to Honolulu to listen to the lee
ture
DR.. Cobb will repeat his lecture next
Monday at the Planters Experiment
Station.
1t is likely that other matters will
be discussed by the planters during
their presence in Honolulu, as matters
of interest to the sugar industry will
no doubt, be presented for considera-
ton.
The meeting of the Planters is called
for Monday morning at o'clock The
planters will then listen to the illus
trated lecture by Dr. Cobb after which
some matters Of minor Importance will
be discussed by the Association.
Many managers arrived today by the
Kinau. More are expected i'm town by
tomorrow Nearly all of the managers
will be in town to listen to the lecture,

time will be saved i'm getting the
plants started to grow.
When the creSS has spread pretty
well over the water i'm the ditch go
over the entire bed and clip the tops
that show above the water, with
sickle. This does away with the
leaves that have been long i'm growing,
and are therefore inclined to tough
ness; and gives the plants new start
which will insure uniform tenderness.
After this first clipping divide the bed
into sections. three or four, according
to the size of the space planted and
beginning at the first one, clip off the
tops as soon as they begin again to
attain size and strength, being careful
to remove the litter from the bed. The
next week clip the next section, and
so on through the season, clipping al
ternately, and always keeping one or
two sections from which cress may be
taken for market, and having one or
more in the growing and freshly clip
ped stage This will insure your hav
ing crisp cress during the entire sea
son. which would not be the case were
the whole bed clipped at one time, as
time would necessarily be lost waiting
for the creSS to grow again. Also, if
the whole bed were marketable at
once. there might be larger quantity
than could be disposed of before it lost
it's crispness. Cut the cress by hand
with sharp knife; that for market
being cut in stalks about three inches
long. A bunch large enough for the
loose tops to comfortably fill an Ordi-
nary strawberry box is large enough
for market, the grocers buying by the
dozen punches.
In localities where the seasons are
comparatively mild the cress will live
through the winter if kept well under
the water. 1t should also be protected
on the north and west by wind
break of lumber, or high board
fence In severer sections the bed will
have to be reset each season.

The Growing of Water Cress.

There are hundreds of small streams
i'm this state which might be utilized
for the production of water cress. 1t
finds ready sale in Jacksonville, and
would. no doubt. sell well i'm any large
town or city. The hotels that have a
good patronage of tourists would also
use some of it. if to be had fresh and
at reasonable price. The Journal of
follows:
The small farmer having lot
through which runs a spring creek is
not making the most of his OppOrtuni-
ties unless he utilities it for the grow
ing of water cress. This Incompatible
salad plant is coming more and more
into favor every year, and city dwell
1erS are willing to pay good prices for
it, especially as it comes On after they
have wearied of lettuce and similar
materials. 1t has the advantage of be-
ing both easily grown and marketed,
and farmers wives and daughters
may take this part of the market
garden into their own hands to care
for, with much benefit to both health
and pocketbook.
If the cress patch must be started
from seed, the Seed-bed should be
made as early in the spring as the
frost is out of the ground. A good
place is the low, wet ground about the
spring itself, where no water runs
over it to wash out the seeds. Scat
ter the seed here quite thickly, and
press it into the ground with a hoe
When the plants are large enough to
transplant, which is better done if
possible, at time when the water i'm
the creek is low, the first step is taken
by thoroughly cleaning out the creek
bed. Then take the rOOtlets in bunch
es of ten or twelve, and set them into
the soft mud along the banks, about
two feet apart from each other either
way. Set the roots as deep down as
will allow of the tops being above wa
ter and cover them with earth to hold
them in place. OF course, where the
plants can be purchased from seed
house it is better to do this, as much

A Handy Garden Implement.

A Handy Garden Implement.
We believe that the implement de-
scribed in the following item from the
American Agriculturist would be very
useful i'm this state.
Stones to load it would be scarce in
Florida, but small box might be nail
ed on the boat and filled with soil,
which would answer the same pur-
pose.
One of the best tools to be used in
the garden during a drought is what
we call boat. 1t is a little boat,
three feet long by two feet wide. Any
man that can use saw and Ratchet
can make one in an hour and the
whole cost should not exceed 80 cents.
To make it, take two pieces of hard
wood. three feet long, one and one
half inches thick by eight inches wide.
Slant up at one end, like sled run
ner, and plank crosswise, with planks
one inch thick and two feet long.
Nail on two old pillow handles. In the
inside nail on strong piece OF hard
wood. on the top, at the nose, to at
tach the clevis to, and the thing is
done.
TO use IL. IOdu IL uOWH WIN stchCS
to suit the case Toward the last cult
walton given, put the finishing touches
on with the boat Should there be
some light rains, enough to form
crust on top, run the boat again. Any
weeds that may have started will be
entirely destroyed. and the earth will
be so compacted that it will form
mulch on the top Of the soil. 1t seems
to make the moisture rise by capillary
attraction.
This little simple tool, 1 believe, is
used only in southern Illinois, so far
as l know. Let any man try 1t in
time of a drought and my word for
it he will be pleased with it. In 1892
Orange Judd visited us and he told
me that he never saw the tool before.
1t can be run within three inches OF
the plants on each side and will not
disturb the roots in the least.
