HUNTERS WALKED ACROSS LINE.
Had Kansas Licenses, But They Were

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. IA num-
Ger of men from this city went east
uniting. They had Kansas licenses
and thought themselves safe for that
reason, forgetting that even after the
season had opened they would have
had to have a license for hunting in
the state of Missouri. and that license
costs $25 if a nonresident of the state
takes it out. For a resident of the
county the fee for a hunting license is
only 81, which is the amount that the
citizens of this county must pay here.
The men strolled too far east in
their hunting and were having great
time among the birds when a game
warden arrived and took the party in
charge. They were taken to Judge,
who levied a fine of 800 upon each
Of them. The men are men of infiu-

WHEN TO SPRAY FOR WHITE FLY
By E. w. Berger

1t has been found that soap solutions
of | pound of soap to gallons of water,
destroyed all the larvae in the first three
stages, and most of those of the fourth
and pupal stages. f thorough spraying
resulted in destroying between go and 96
per cent Of all the larvae on the leaves.
Soap solutions of l pound. of soap to 9
gallons of water destroyed about 90 per
cent Goods potash whaleoil soap No. 8
was used, and also Octogon soap. 1t is
probable that any kind of soap will be
effective against these young larvae. In
winter it would probably be necessary to
use the soap stronger, say pound to 4
gallons of water; but weak solution
when used in spring, summer, or fall,
will give better results than the strong
solution in winter.
"GoIddust" was also used On young
larvae at the rate of l pound to gal
Ions of water, and 90 to 95 per cent were
killed. Preliminary chemical examina
tion of Golddust showed that it consist
ed of about 25 per cent of soap, 81 per
cent of washing soda, and about l3 per
cent of water. Go1ddust is an expensive
mixture to use for spraying. One part
of whale-oil soap with three parts of
washing soda gave practically the same
result as Golddust, when each was used
in the proportion of l pound to 4 gallons
of water. One pound of whaleoil soap
to gallons of water gave practically the
same results as the whale oil soap and
soda mixture, at about the same cost:
which was a little less than half cent
per gallon. Whale-oil soap is therefore
a cheaper material to use for spraying
than Golddust A mixture equally as
good as Golddust can be made from
whale oil soap and washing soda, at
about one-half the cost.

banana there is has received great at
tehtion in Hawaii during the past two
years, and 1atter1y suckers have been
generally distributed throughout the is
lands. These suckers have been distrib

to growers who undertake to cultivate
them in an experimental way, furnish
ing periodic reports on their growth and
production. This banana was introduced
into Hawaii on account of the advan
tages it holds as a commercial product,
and because it is the variety best known
on the American markets.
The report states, too, that experiments
have been made during the past few
years with the roselle Hibiscus sabda-
riffa), plant known in the West Indies
as the red sorre1 The tree appears to

waii. AS is we'll known in these islands,
excellent jams and jellies are made from
the fieshy calyx of this fruit, and from
the seed pods, while they are young and
tender, and the Hawaiian experiments
were undertaken with a view to testing
the suitability of the fruit for preserv-
ing. 1t is stated that when grown as a
crop, from 5000 to 1000 pounds of fruit
per acre can be obtained under average
conditions. Although the roselle tree
will do fairly we'll in a dry climate, it
yields more heavily on the application of
water. The seeds of these plants are
sown about March, and the plants are
set out in the field when about or 8

while in dry localities they are set lit

FRUIT IN HAWAII.
Results of Recent Experiments by the
Government Horticulturist.

In the report of the horticulturist at
the Hawaiian Agricultural Experiment
Station, reference is made to the excel
lent quality of the fruit grown in those
islands. The citrus fruits produced
oranges. lines and lemons-are mention
ed as being specially good.
The mango is largely grown in Hawaii,
and, in the opinion of the writer of the
report referred to, is destined to become
one of the most important tropical fruits
of the American market in the future.
The possibility of shipping the mango in
cold storage has already been demon
strated. and while an effort should be
made by producers in the West Indies
to supply the markets of the Eastern
States. Hawaii hopes to produce all that
is required in the West.
The mango weevil (CryptOrhynchus
mangiferae) is reported as being source
of great trouble in Hawaii, and it's pres
ence is a serious hindrance to the prog
ress of the industry.
The Experiment Station is making a
collection of all the finest varieties of
mango trees available, with the intention
of propagating them on seeding stocks.
The Bluefields variety of banana, which
possesses thick skin that does not east
