WMliamson's plan.

For two years we have published
the Williamson plan of growing
corn, as written in full by Mr.. Will
hanson himself. SO many are awak-
ening to its value that we deem it
advisable to publish the essentials
OF his method again, in concise form.
We will make it plain. SO any one can
readily catch it and remember it.
1. Break your land deep and if
clay land harrow it well.
Q. Lay off your rows five feet wide
and plant in the water furrow. Do
not use any fertilizer at time of plant
ing.
9. Plant your corn thick-from
four to twelve inches, according to
the strength of your soil and accord
ing to the amount of fertilizer you
propose to use around your corn as a
side application. To make a large
yield you must have the number of
stalks per acre to give you the re-
quired number of ears.
A.. You can cultivate this corn as
suits you, with weeder, harrow, cul-
tivator or with scooter and scrape.
We would pillow ittwice and thin and
hoe once. You can be guided by the
condition of the corr and yoyr.supgiy
Of labor AT third .f9o0g, from lie
II to July IL. VII, 1eryour corn shows
signs Of preparing to tassel and to
make its sheet, take 200 pounds cot
tonseed meal, 200 pounds acid phos-
plate and 400 pounds German kainit,
mix and put 400 pounds on each side
of this corn, following with your pillow
to mix it in the soil and to cover it.
If you prefer use 500 pounds of ready
mixed fertilizer.
You can vary this amount to suit
your wishes. But to get anything
like fair yield, planted thick, we
would never use less than GOO pounds
per acre. If you want to use 400
pounds, put your corn farther apart
In drill, say sixteen to twenty-four
inches.
5. For last working put in 100 to
125 pounds nitrate of soda on ono
side Sow your peas, and cultivate
very shallow so as not to break your
corn roots. Many crop is damaged
by deep plowing when corn is at this
stage, but never by stirring the soil
shallow. BY following this method
you can make from forty to 100
bushels per acre, just according to
your proficiency in carrying out the
details. The value Of the plan lies in
three things; /, in breaking your
land deep and in planting in the water
furrow so as to resist the drouth; q,
in having the corn thick and thus
having the required number of ears,
and 3, in putting the fertilizer in
abundance at the time the stalks be-
gin their effort to produce the ear
thus the full force of the plant food
is put into the ears and is not wasted
in growing stalk, nor has it been
leached away. In other words, you
feed the stalk at earring time and YOU
get the greatest possible amount of
corn by so doing. The higher the
grade of fertilizer the more soluble
it is--the better your results. This is
why nitrate of soda is so essential to
the carrying out of the plan. -South'

Keep the plows running whenever
the land is dry enough to work well
and do not be afraid to turn UP two
or three inches of the subsoil. The
winter will disintegrate and aerate
this new soil and make it fitted to
produce crops in the summer. Turn
the burrows on edge and do not
throw them completely over and fiat,
This Will enable the old and new soil
to be mixed easily with the harro Z
and cultivator. Plow all the land.
Don't miss few inches between each
furrow, and nlow it all 10 an even
depth.

of every week or ten days, dependent
on the sailing of mail steamers.
The character of the matter sent out
in the bulletins is much the same as
would be handled by regular CORE
spondent for a large city paper or mag
azine. 1t aims to present facts about
Hawaii, its status politically, its social
problems, race questions, etc, together
with current events of the same char
acter that the average newspaper would
expect by mail from a special CORE
spondent. 1t goes to, on an average,
about 500 regular newspapers in smaller
cities all over the United States. Sew,
eral hundred more 90 out to various
class publications which may be sup
posed to be interested in some par
tieular article, which is consequently
marked Many of these articles have
been published by class periodicals of
very wide circulation, as especial cor
and from them copied
and recopied by many newspapers and
other publications.

News Bureau Appreciated.

Since the establishment of the news
bureau many complimentary letters
have been received concerning it, and
a large exchange list secured. Clipping
bureaus bring IN increasingly large
numbers of reproductions of the mat
ter thus sent out from publications
which would never otherwise be seen in
the Territory. 1t is considered import
ant to make the character of the sub
jects dwelt upon as diverse as possible.
Nothing is written that has the sugges-
tiOn of advertising in it, or that might
not readily be sent out by any CORE
spondent.
The Importance of this service to Ha-
wall lies in the fact that the Islands
get great amount of publicity on
varying matters which would be impos-
sible in any other manner. The news
papers which use the stuff do not look
upon it as advertising, and use it in a
way that no paid matter would be used
that is, in the ordinary run of the
news columns. While knowing perfect
ly the object for which they are given
it, it is taken solely on its own merits,
as something good enough to publish,
but which in most cases they would not
be able to employ regular writers TO
furnish.
In many eases news matter may be
also very good advertising, and thus the
pineapple industry has been given a
good amount of publicity, as well as
the newly developing tobacco and rub
Der industries.
The news bureau is also doing some
good work, through the cooperation of
the local newspapers, in sending from
day to day marked copies of the local
papers to publications throughout the
world, or to individuals where there is
a likelihood of there being some
special interest in some particular sub
ject. In this way the local papers are
being advertised on the mainland, and
at the same time are advertising Ha-
wall.
Besides this regular work of the
news bureau, many special stories are
furnished to trade or class journals on
special subjects who have requested the
same. 1t is hoped before long that
funds will be available by which it will
be possible to furnish pictures where
they will be used in mainland publica-
tons. A number of editorial writer's
have requested data, which has been
secured sometimes with considerable
effort, and furnished.

Help to Pearl Harbor.

But possibly as important and far
reaching as any work done by the com
mittee is work which is not in the reg
ular routine of the office, as the fore
going has been. In this line may be
mentioned the acknowledged credit of
bringing about the last transpacifc
yacht race through the Los Angeles
representative, after the project had
virtually been abandoned; the promot-
ing of the excursions of the Southern
California Editorial Association, and
OF the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, and the entertainment of these
visitors.
The excursions mentioned undoubted-
ly did untold good for Hawaii in way
of tourists, and in the important mat
ter of bringing the Pacific Coast into
a closer relation and feeling for Hawaii.
At the present time three excursions
are being worked on for this winter
from the Coast, with very good pros
poets of getting them all, and it viii
be only because no suitable vessel can
be secured if one, at least, of these is
not secured. This will be from South
ern California, and the others in pros
pect are from Central California, where
the California Editorial Association is
seriously considering the matter, and
from Puget Sound, where the various
commercial bodies are casting serious
eyes toward the large mercantile bust
ness which Hawaii is now giving large
