Japanese Work at Aiea.
About a hundred japanese went to
work at Aiea yesterday morning, and
that many more would probably have
been seen in the fields had it not been
for the intimidations of those who are
sticking close tc Maxine and his way
of thinking Other than these, how
ever, there are few Japanese on the
plantation.
Waipahu is deserted so far as those
of the Nipponese nationality are con.
cerned. Engineer Scoville, who was in
strumental in quelling what promised
to be freef for all fight the other night,
was in town yesterday from the plan
tation, and he stated that everything
was quiet as could be. Strikebreakers
are working right along, and there is
but little delay in the regular routine
of plantation life.

Police Return.

Chief of Detectives Joe Leal and
about dozen special deputies returned
from the country yesterday, Sheriff JAR
rett, however, taking ten men down to
EVA with him on the afternoon train.
Maxine and his lieutenants have been
trying to edge in ON the men who re-
turned to work at Eva, but they have
been so far unable to even so much
as get chance to talk to the men.
Rumor had it yesterday. afternoon that
one or two of Maxine s underlings had
been able to pass the lines and had
succeeded in reaching the ears of the
working men. On this account Sheriff
Jarrett took extra men with him to
the plantation last evening, and if rep
resentatives of the Fl. w. A. gets a
chance at the laborers it will be be-
cause they have evaded these vigilant
officers.

Commenting on the finding OF the

Ledger says:
We have never thought that any
man should be hung for killing the
man who eternally traduces, villifies
or belittles him L a man falls out With
another. he should not mention his
name. The man who is constantly
speaking evil of the man be does not

man don't talk about him. Carmack
exasperated Cooper by his constant
editorials. No matter what Cooper's
political acts were Carmack went too
far. We sympathize with his widow
and child but he brought on his own
death. The jury found right. HUI
man nature must have some outlet
to turn on the man, good or bad who
constantly traduces it. We repeat
that no brave man viii constantly
speak in disparagement Of n man
with whom he Is not friendly. When
enmity rises between men then silence
is most becoming both of them.

Waste From Soil Erosion in the
South.

W. w. AShe, North Carolina State
Forester, has an article i'm the April
Review of Reviews on The Waste
from Soil Erosion in the South"
We quote from the article the follow
ing interesting excerpt:
A yearly loss of many million dol
lars which need never take place; a
loss, not of one year, like that occa-
stoned by ii great fire, but one which
has occurred year after year without
interruption for decades; which i'm
it's aggregate, since the Civil War,
nearly equals the national debt-this
is the toll yearly exacted by the
erosion from the farm soils OF the
upland South.
The profits of the farmer noiselessly
tiow from his sloping fields in muddy
streams. In spite OF the large loss
the tiller almost ignores it; he is. In
fact, frequently ignorant OF il. Yet
this important loss to the farmer
represents only n portion OF the
actual damage; other industries
suffer directly and indirectly from
the same cause. On account of it
there are in the dissected upland
regions OF the South more than
), 100000 acres OF land at one time
cultivated and now idle. Many
reasons have been assigned; the re-
duced fertility of the soils; the lure of
the newer, more level, more easily
titled lands OF the West. Economic
changes which followed the civil war;
lack of labor and home markets.
These have been secondary factors.
Soil exhaustion and erosion are the
fundamental causes. The exhausted
"old fields" eroded, quilted, raw with
deep wounds, and red as though
stained with carnage, need only the
| touch of knowledge to become revivi-
fed.
The causes which produced the old
| fields still operate to the ruin of much
of the farming land. The decrease in
the productivity of the farms of the
Eastern United States has been gen.
eral. Nowhere has it been so evident
as in the upland regions Of the South,
where the loss is certainly not less
than 30 per cent. of the yields when
| Tie ldUuS were iTcSil dliu IleW. ETOsiOii
is the basal problem which underlies
soil exhaustion in this region, and SO
prevalent and so disastrous ia it that
it has become not only q serious
local agricultural problem. but AN
important national problem rs we'll,
seriously affecting the value of many
Investments which have been made
in the region. Its enormous extent
has not been due entirely to poor
cultural methods. The heavy rain
fall, the physical characteristics OF
the region, the broken topography
and the close-textured soils, and in
some measure also the economic con-
ditiOns have contributed to increase
it. Where methods OF cultivation
suited to the local conditions have
been used. not only has erosion de-
creased. but the yields have responded
in wonderful manner, indicating
that the soils are not only not infe
rior to those of other sections, but
that, on account of the ample rain
fall and the long growing season
they have many distinct advantage,
! over those of other humid parts o
the country.
