We have wandered far from the
question, how far apart bananas
should be planted, and yet not so far,
for it is largely a question of fertili-

the ground there is not enough plant
food to make rapid growth. AS a
result there is no fruit or bloom in
the fall or winter. Three stalks to
the hill will se1f-shade the soil so as to
smother the plagued crab grass and
other weed pests, and we believe they
can be fertilized sufficiently heavy to
ripen their fruit in season. The aim
should be to allow nothing to bloom
after September Ist Or before Feb
ruary 18TH On the no-fertilizer, no
care system, the amount per acre
would be samething like this: Two
to four 5-pound punches to the rod
1000 to 5000 pounds to the acre Of
uneatable, unsalable fruit. Well fer
tilted, the yield would be four bunch
es of 20 pounds each to the rod
1890 pounds. What I am trying to
do, in years when the thermometer
does not go below 80, is to raise two
and three 2o-pound punches to the
hill-24,ooo to 10000 pounds to the
acre of banana fruit so superior as to
drive all other bananas from first
place in the American market. I be-
lieve if the third bunch to the hill
can be raised, the third bunch will
over pay all expense OF tert1l1Z1ng. Ii
three punches to the hill can be
grown, the banana will smother out

same is true of the Florida banana.
If compelled to draw it's substance

banana is pronounced by these same

the highest quality of the Florida
banana. Then, too, the banana is not
only fruit, like the orange or apple,
but while it has the lusciousness and

also has the nourishing quality of

CONGRESS AND MONEY
FOR THIS TERRITORY

mail Special to the Advertiser)
WASHINGTON, d. c., January 49,
| The Hawaiians here are of course re-
!, joicing about their fine appropriation
| for Hilo and Honolulu harbors. 1t is
already known in Honolulu that the
| committee proposes to give 100000
for the Hilo breakwater and 100000
for further Improvement of the har-
Dor at Honolulu. That is eminently
satisfactory to all concerned. While
the Rivers and Harbors Bill carrying
those items has not yet been reported
to the House, assurance has been given
of course, there is no doubt about the
items being authorized by the House.
Mr.. George B. Mcclellan had note
from Chairman Burton few days ago
expressing his interest in the Hilo
project. That was very gratifying as
Mr.. Burton 3 attitude on that project
had been somewhat in doubt. A deal
of hard work has been done here this
session to secure those appropriations
from Congress. The securing of that
amount of money for harbor develop
ment in the Territory would alone be
an achievement for one session of Con-
gress.
Congress in recent years has been
showing an increasing friendliness for
Hon Sc l,,.. So ~
to the campaign of education which
representative men from Honolulu have
conducted here. Many of the missions
to Washington have seemed barren Of
results in that they failed to bring
about the main object sought when in
reality much more has been done than
was originally in mind, in that Sem
ators and members have come to re-
alize what the conditions in Hawaii
are. Furthermore Hawaii is reaping
indirectly, because OF the disgust in
Congress with the other insular pos
sessions. Nine tenths of Congress wish
that the Philippine islands were at
the bottom of the sea and that this
country was done with them. On the
other hand Hawaii has given the gov
eminent no particular trouble, has an
abundance of good citizens, and is
developing along the same lines as the
mainland. Therefore Congress feels a
sort Of gratitude for Hawaii and for
Hawaiians.

LUNAL|LO'S 65TH
BIRTHDAY LUAU
Old HaWaiians at the Home
Have Day of Feasting
and Merrymaking.

Yesterday the sixty-fifth anniversary
Lunalilo, was celebrated at the Home
for aged Hawaiians. There was an
elaborate luau and much enthusiasm,
which even the steady downpour of
rain could not dampen. The day be-
fore, there had been a general distribu-
ton OF clothing; holokus and leis for
the women. shirts and dfr'm trousers
for the men, and a red handkerchief
for each man. AS the garments were
ready made, the men were lined up on
the lanai that some idea OF their re-
quirements might be obtained, so the
tall man should not be fitted out with
trousers several sizes too small, or the
small man with those intended for the
six-footer This had to be done in
good season that the alterations might
be made in time for the festival. For,
OF course, tie new clothes were to be
worn on the great occasion.
The same precaution was taken with
the holokus. and the result was that
everybody was suited. Word was sent
to the fire company on Wilder avenue
that IL they saw a blaze at the Home
any time during the night they need
not turn out as it would only be the
fire lighted to heat the stones in the
pit wherein the fat pigs were to be
roasted. 1t was a wise precaution, for
the fire was a big one. It was kindled
promptly at a. m. Thursday morning,
and burned until a. m, when the

As an instance in point, Germany
has adopted this policy, with a re-

they have obtained the benefit of the

ed States, would be disastrous to the
business Of many exporters from Amer
