the Eighteenth century.
In the year 1876, DR.. Jenner heard
a mikmaid say Il can never have

Upon investigation DR.. Jenner
found that cows occasionally had a
disease of the udder marked by an
eruption that very closely resembled
in appearance the smallpox pustule.
If the hands of the mixers were
chapped they occasionally caught the
disease from the COW, and their hands
and arms would break out in sores.
1t was a legend held as a fact by
the peasantry that such persons were
immunes from smallpox, having al

more properly, he could not discover
that any person who had had cowpox

this.
DIR. Jenner announced his discovery

Commercial Pecan Growing.

q. B. Wright, Cairo, Ca, Before
Georgia State Horticultural Society,"
The following article on the subject
of growing pecans for profit we found
in the American Nut Journal
Commercial pecan growing is in it's
infancy, and there are many things yet
to be learned about it. The question
as to profit, however, is not one of
these. The pecan will hold its own
with the peach or the apple or the
orange as a money producer; with the
added advantage that the former will
be in it's prime when the others OF
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-31

ferti1izing, and warfare in insects, will
demand attention. Fortunately, the
list of insects injurious to the pecan is
not so large, nor are these SO serious
as those that affect the apple; yet, there
is sufficient injury to warrant a decla-
ration of war on Our part.
In conclusion, it is to be remember
ed that the pecan industry is young;
in fact, very young, considering the
possibilities that have been lying dor
mant SO long. With many Of the diff
culties removed by better knowledge
Of the requirements for successful Gull
ture, we may expect rapid progress in
the next few years. Young orchards,
now coming into bearing, yielding nuts
of superior quality that command a
fancy price, is giving impetus to the
movement The returns to be expected
have largely been matter of specula-
ton, and single trees have been made
the basis of estimates. Sufficient pro-
gress has been made to furnish reliable
information, and in a few more years
exact data may be expected.
The expedition of enormous profit
is not to be INDUCED in; yet, compared
with other lines of horticultural ma
ture, very profitable returns may safe
ly be expected, and after trees are
large enough to occupy the land, few
acres should yield good income with
small annual outlay The question of
overproduction seems to cause some
concern; however, when we consider
the time that must elapse before any
very great increase can be expected,
the rapidity with which the demand is
increasing, and remembering also that
we have the world for market, with
expectation not yet begun, there need
be little fear from this source in our
day. Besides, the millions of pounds
of common pecans must first give
place to the improved varieties.
There are many features Of nut Gull
ture that might be dwe1t upon, but it
is beyond the scope of this paper.
From a careful review of the subject,
there seems to be no more inviting
field of endeavor awaiting the young
horticulturist than the culture of nut
trees in the South.

equal age will have persisted and beer
forgotten. But every person who
sets pecan tree or grove will not
make a success of it. There are some
points that, while applicable to all trees
to a certain extent, must especially be
observed if one is to succeed in nut
culture
Not long since a prominent horti-
culturist asked me if | could tell how
to transplant pecan trees SO that the
frequent loss of from % per cent to 40
per cent of the trees could be avoided.
| have had losses as great as this; but
since I learned how to set them, |
have had good success. OF 249 trees
transplanted a year ago last winter,
none died; and of $50 set last winter
but ten have died. The pecan does not
stand transplanting quite as we'll as
peaches or plums, but there is no rea-
son why there should be loss OF
more than 1 per cent to 4 per cent.
Any loss beyond this signifies careless
ness either on the part of the nursery
man who furnished the trees or of the
man who transplants them. Briefly
stated, the rule for successful pecan
transplanting is this: Never let the
roots get dry from the time the tree
is dug in the nursery until it is reset
in it's permanent location. The care
full nurseryman heels in each tree as
soon as dug, and when shipped, the
roots are we'll wrapped in damp moss.
When received by the orchardist, it is
best to set at once in holes that have
been previously dug, only removing
one tree at time from the original
package or other damp packing in
which they have been carried to the
field. Firm the soil we'll about the
roots from the bottom to the top Of the
hole If the soil is at all dry, pour in
a bucket or two of water as the hole is
being filled. If guano or manure is
used, see that it is we'll mixed with the
soil, and that The fertilizer does not
come in contact with the roots The
size of the hole and the fertility of the
soil have their bearing on the future
growth rather than on the living Of
the tree. In only one case have
known trees to die from being set out
in too fertile soil A friend set some
trees in a very rich cow-pen and nearly
all died; while others set at the same
time in less fertile soil lived
Some of you have observed seeding
groves of the same age that vary great
1y in size and vigor of individual trees
Some are from four to six times the
size of the others, yet all have had the
same attention. The same is seen in
the nursery. Some two-year-old trees
ready to be budded will be six feet
high; others will be less than twenty
inches. Why this is so it is not neces-
sary to discuss. The fact that it is true
makes it imperative on every purchaser

chard, preference should be given to a
sandy loan with a sand-mixed, clay
subsoil; the richer the better Success
may be had on a great variety of soils,
ranging from almost pure sand to
rather stiff clay. A thirsty soil, or one
that is always wet, is to be avoided.
A soil that will admit easy penetration
by the roots and retain moisture in
liberal degree, is to be desired
Planting, care, cultivation, and
methods of propagation will be dis
cussed in papers by the other members
of the committee.
The parent trees of the named varie-
ties Of pecans were, of course, seed
lings, and it is rather strange that
among the vast numbers of seedlings
that exist throughout the South such
small number have been found of
sufficient merit to be given name
and to be propagated.
Among the older varieties, Stuart,
Van Deman and Frotscher represent
the best. Van Deman is superior to
the others for table use, but for COM
merclal purposes, in the ordinary
sense, Stuart and Fortscher are in the
lead. Among the varieties more re-
Gently introduced, Schley, Success,
Russell, Dewey, Delmas, Georgia, Cur
tbs, and number of others may be
mentioned. 1t is beyond the scope of
this paper to describe the different
varieties, but among the ten above
mentioned can be found varieties that
are adapted to all requirements Pro-
per appreciation for the differences ex-
isting between varieties is lacking, and
the prospective planter might consider
this subject thoroughly with profit to
himself. There are varieties that are
worthless, and it will be a happy day
when all these are discarded. There
are other varieties which are excellent
in some localities and worthless in
others In this state, however, most
any variety that has merit may be ex-
pected to succeed
1t is good policy to plant at least
three varieties in an orchard What
these are to be can only be best de-
termlned from knowledge of the OBJ
Ject in view and the location of the
land. Some of the more recently in
troduced varieties are much superior
to any of the older standards, especial
ly in quality of the nuts. Each of the
good varieties has it's disadvantages as
well as points of merit, and it can be
said that the perfect variety is yet to be
found.
Successful pecan culture, like all
other remunerative enterprises, is not
to be had without effect The same
problems are to be met as in other
lines Of horticulture, the only differ
ence being that at present there is
prospective1y smoother sailing ahead
than in other lines. Cultivation, care,

Honolulu, August II, 1906.
Editor Advertiser: 1T never rains

its issue yesterday states without res

with practising medicine without a Ii
cense, in an article condemnatory to
said Wailach, based apparently upon
information emanating from his inn

Without the slightest knowledge of
the merits or otherwise in the case
against Mr.. Wailach, / have to say
that I had no more to do with effect
ing his release from custody than an
unborn babe.

GOVERNORS OF AUTO
CLUB IN SESSION

The board Of governors of the Hawaii
Automobile Club met yesterday after
noon, for the first time since the club
was organized, in December last. The
meeting was held in the rooms of the
Promotion Committee, those present be-
ing d. p r. Isenberg, w. H. Baird, J..
A. McCandless and II. P Wood.
Little was done beyond the @ppoint-
ment of committees to canvass for mem
flag or badge. On the membership
committee are G. P. Wilder and d. P.
r. Isenberg, and the burgee and badge
We're left to J. A McCandless, H p.
Wood and G. p. Denison.
1T was suggested that the Super
yisors be asked to amend their auto
:obile ordinance to compel the license
number of a machine to be painted on
the lamps, to be distinguishable at
night, but it was thought best to lay
this over for a members meeting.
Another suggestion, which was bet
ter received, was that the club arrange
for a run to Haieiwa during the visit
of the Southern California editorial
association, each motorist taking one
or more of the visitors with him. Ar
rangements to this end viii be made.
Tie annual membership fee was put
at &c. and an effort will be made to
arrange with the Promotion Committee
for the use of their room as a meeting |
place and as a reading room where |
motor-gnagazines and literature may be |
kept.

mercial seaports of South America, and
| is seventy miles northeast of Santiago
| with which there is railway communi-

| of the bay, which is IL miles wide,
! semicircular in form. There are two
| floating docks capable of accommodate

| is situated at the base of a range of
| mountains varying from 1000 to 400
| feet in height, which have a narrow
| strip of low land between them and
| the sea. On this and on sites formed
by cutting away the cliffs most of the
! houses have been built. Further sites
are afforded by the deep dells opening
toward the sea.
Much of the foreshore has been raised
by earthquakes. The erection of an
embankment was begun in 1885. The
older portion OF the city, in which are
the principal public and commercial
buildings. is separated from the newer
portion. called the Almendral, by a
projecting point.
The city is defended by a chain of
forts begun in 1866 The principal
buildings are the government palace,
the customs house, the large govern
ment bonded warehouses, the hospital,
city hall and two theaters.
The educational institutions include
theological seminary. naval academy
and a lyceum.
The commercial enterprise of the city
has depended largely on the foreign
merchants, especially Englishmen,
Americans and Germans.
Valparaiso is the commercial capital
of Chill ard the principal residence of
the foreign consuls. The principal in
dustriaI establishments are the govern
ment railway shops, a large foundry
and machine shops, coach-building and
finery, the raw material for which is
obtained from Peru
The population is in the neighborhood |
of $4,000. The city was founded in
1886 by the Spanish officer Juan de |
Saavedra, who named it after his |
birthplace, near Cuenca, in Spain. In |
1878 the city was captured by Drake, |
the exact date of his appearance be-
fore it being December 5, and it was
again taken by Hawkins expedition |
in 1896. In 1900 it was sacked by the
Dutch corsair Van Mort. It was Wis

1922, and by earthquake shocks in 1889 |
and 1878. 1t suffered from fire in 1858. |
On March 81. 1866, it was bonbarded |

these islands are from disturbances
which are so destructive in other parts
, of the world. The Hawaiian Islands
seem removed from the zone of ele-

groups of islands in the Pacific have
been swept by storms of various types
