SENATE IS
TOO ACTIVE
Waits for House to Get
Through With Its
Bills.
sENATE-FIFTY-sEcoND DAY.

From the printed utterances of
Speaker Holstein it would appear that
that gentleman is endeavoring to
bolster up languid House by throw
ing the blame of its own shortcomings
on tolerant Senate. This is brought
out strongly by the Speaker IS assertion
that the liquor bill had been in the Sen
ate forty-fve days and five in the
from the record of Clerk Savidge:
Senate Bill No 81, compromise liquor
measure, introduced in the Senate April
/, reported back from the Printing
committee April 3. Second reading
April 4 and deferred. On April was
considered in Senate committee of the
whole and progress reported; same on
9Th and Sth and on the 9th the report
of the committee was submitted and
adopted, passed third reading on the
10th and Immediately transmitted to
the House.
Evidently the method of reckoning
time in the House is exclusive.
Senator Makekau heard yesterday of
the intention of the House to visit the
dam and Immediately a desire was
lodged in his breast to have the Sen
ate granted the same sort of junket
and he so moved. The reply was en-
couraging, for the chairman of the COM
mittee assured him that after the re-
port of Mr.. Schuyler was presented the
Senate would have a chance to go and
see.
Local Option had its first peep into
the Senate yesterday and passed first

did not meet with the hearty approval
of the members so that with the sig

DAY Of DAM
IN HOUSE
Today Will See Solons
Discuss Schuyler's
Expert Report.
HousE-FIFTY-sEcoND DAY.

The Nuuanu dam was the live sub
iect in the House yesterday and will
be considerably hvelier today if the
threats of some of the members be
carried out. Yesterday the matter
cropped up in proposed consideration
of House Bill 215, which calls for
reappropriation of $4,000 from the
Loan fund to complete the Nuuanu
structure. The discussion yesterday
was merely in the nature of a warming
up for today, when Schuyler's report
is to be presented and the special COM
mittee will report. AS a further prep
aration the House members visited the
dam in body after the afternoon ses-
sion, which was a very short one.
Morning Session.
The House had it's usual Monday
morning appearance during the reading
of the minutes, there being thirteen
empty chairs. The band serenaded the
legislators as usual, which accounted
for the delay in the tap of the Speak
er s gavel, this falling at $3.50.
SENATE BILLS AND LETTERS.
A duplicate of the ambulance right
of-way bill was sent down from the
Senate and given first reading. The
House has passed a bill to the same
purpose and one of the two will be
dropped.
House Bill 1914 was returned and some
minor amendments co1curred in by a
unanimous vote, the entire membership
of the House having arrived. Quinn s
bottle bill, House Bill 207, was return
ed and the amendments concurred in.

All reports are to the effect that the
finding of Expert Schuyler on the Nuu-
anu dam will commend the scheme Of
building a reservoir at that point and
will also report that the structure as
built is a safe one. This will not head
off the wrath of the members against
the dam, however.
The attack is to be made now, not
on the dam itself but on the manner
in which the contract was let, the
manner in which the public money has
been wasted and the fact that there IS
no guarantee before the House that the
further appropriation of $4,000 asked
for will not also be frittered away IN
piling dirt where the stream can wash
1t back again and putting in pipes that
have to be built over again.
A warm attack may also be expect
ed upon the Governor, for going against
the expressed wishes of the Legislature
of 1905, and against the Superintend-
ent of Public Works for diverting ap-
propriations from one purpose to an
other. One of the members has pro-
test from S. Mahelona, the chairman
of the Public Lands committee of the
1905 House to read to the House, IN
which it is stated that Superintendent
Holloway should be impeached for his
share in the dam affair. A part of this
protest says:
while there is so much talk with
reference TO the insecurity of the Nuu-
anu dam creating an impression in the
community that there has been ofhc1ai
corruption and graft, there is one very
important matter of which the pubhe
should be reminded and which makes
the building of the dam by the super
intendent of Public Works, if not al
together illegal at least a hagrant
breach of faith on the part OF thaL
official. During the session OF the las'
Legislature when an attempt was pe-
ing made to secure Government con-
troll of the waters of the valleys OF
Manoa- Pauoa, and Kalihi, a resolution
was introduced at the instance OF MT.
Holloway through Lilikaiam 10 insert

sum of Eighty-five Thousand dollars

THE CROPS IN ALBERTA.

Adyices from one who is in close
touch with the crop and commercial
conditions in Alberta, Western Can
ada, in the most southerly $50 miles
of the province, state that the fall
wheat crop is phenomenal, threshing
from 30 to so bushels per acre and

price realized is IS to So cents per
bushel The balance of Alberta north

ter has mostly spring crop. 1t is large
ly a dairying, beef and pork raising
country. The excessive rains in late
August and early September delayed
ripening of the crop on the heaviest
soil, and consequently was consider
ably damaged on the arrival of fall
frOsts. On lighter soil the crop was
fair to good. On the soil between
Calgary and Edmonton spring wheat
was seriously damaged, but will pro-
duce a large quantity of lowgrade
milling and feed; early-sown oats are
excellent feed quality, but late-sown
are seriously damaged and small
proportion will be fed in the straw.

from Edmonton to Lloydminster there

foot or more The vegetative stems,
by means of which the plant spreads
to new host plants, form a dense mat,
or carpet, close to the ground, wind
ing in and out among the host stems,
often completely surrounding them
and hiding the ground. In this way
the spreading of the plant is rapid and
very effective. The early growth of
this plant is not readily detected at
a distance.
The effect on the crop differs with
these different habits of growth. Field
dodder destroys its host plants in ir-
regular patches, probably in many in
stances as much by bearing down and
smothering the crop as by the with
drawal of plant food. All of the crop
plants within an infested area are
likely to be attacked. Small seeded
alfalfa dodder, combining it's attacks
chiefly to individual resistent and
naturally long-lived plants, eventually
causes a general thinning of the
stand through the death of scattered
individual plants. Healthy, infested
and nearly dead alfalfa plants thus
often occur in close proximity.
Glover dodder attacks every clover
plant and to greater or less extent
other plants within the infested area.
1t destroys rapidly, and its progress
from the original point Of attack is so
uniform that distinctly circular areas
barred of living clover or alfalfa result.
These circular spots of dead plants
are very characteristic marks of the
destruction caused by this species.
A narrow band of living dodder stems
will be found bordering the circle of
destroyed plants.
Flax dodder bears down the flax
nlants and is therefore sometimes
called ''pull-down." 1t also draws the
tops of the plants, together Both
large-seeded alfalfa dodder and Chill
can dodder ascend to the top of the
host plant The former produces
dense flower and fruiting clusters;
the latter appears to have more
open habit and scattered flower sys-
tenn.
The form and appearance of the
flower clusters differ with the differ
ent kinds of dodder Glover dodder
flowers are in small compact clusters
with several flowers each. The clus-
tiers as we'll as the stems are often
tinged with red. Small-seeded alfalfa
dodder flowers are in similar clus-
tiers which are not colored

duction of dodder seed occurs, the
destruction of the plants becomes the
final resort. The questions Of sue

Notwithstanding every precaution
against the Introduction of dodder.
seeds may find their way to the field
in the seed used. The ultimate con-
troll of the plants may depend upon
early efforts to discover and destroy
them. This is particularly true if the
plants appear in few places in the
field.
The proper time to destroy the
plants is before rapid branching en-
ables them to reach many host plants
Then every firm hold of the dodder
suckers becomes point of independ-
ent growth, and the difficulty of reach
ing all of them is greatly increased.
New seedlings, therefore, should be
carefully examined for this pest.
Under favorable conditions the dod-
der seeds terminate but little slower
than seeds of clover or alfalfa The
young plants therefore appear at
about the same time as the clover.
Their discovery in the seeding at first
is practically impossible. BY the time
the crop is six or eight inches high
the dodder will have branched suffi-
GENTLY, as rule, to render it's pres
ence noticeable for short distance.
This permits removal of the plants
with the least loss to the stand and
with the most likelihood of success.
Different kinds of dodder exhibit in
the field individual habits we'll wor-
thy of consideration in detecting their
presence, such as Iow-growing or high
growing tendencies and their manner
Of spreading from plant to plant.
Field dodder grows to the top of the
host plants, throws out it's branches,
and rapidly extends from plant to
plant, often forming dense yellow
carpet of tangled branches covering
and bearing down the crop, as shown
is our Illustration. Small-seeded al
falfa dodder, on the other hand, con-
fines it's growth exclusively to the
lower part of the host plant, rarely ex-
ceeding a foot from the ground 1t
spreads slowly from plant to plant,
combining itself chiefly to the several
branches of the individual alfalfa
plant. While a patch of field dodder
can be seen long distance, the 9th
er, when the stand is at all thick, can
be observed for but a few feet.
The habit of clover dodder differs
from that of each of the kinds pre-
viously described It's Towering stems

Most of the states of the union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was a nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur
