FRUIT TREES WITH DRY FARMING

We have some very successful orchard.
ing along the Black Hills where only
thorough cultivation is relied upon to
supply or rather retain the moisture.
says the Dakota Farmer, but q local ps,.
per Of Washington says that the most re.
markable showing made in dry land
fruit raising Of record in that part OF
the country is to be seen on the farm
of Peter $. Ferbrache. Last March Mr..
Fcrbrachc planted 800 apple trees
Winesaps and Rome Beauties+none Of
which were above eighteen inches in
length. Without one drop Of irrigation
and with no more water from the clouds
than two or three slight showers. these
trees now stand six feet high on the av.
erage.
Mr.. Ferbrache's farm is what is known
as dry land" in Okanogan county. It
is too high for sub.irrigation by any
stream or lake, but has been Kent in
sufficiently moist condition for vegetable
growth BY system Of intensive cultiva.
tion. year ago last March it was raw
land. At that time it was plowed for
the first time and received several hnr.
rowings last season. although no crop
was planted. Last March. a. soon a.
the snow had disappeared. the land was
again plowcd and the trees were planted
and it has been we'll cultivated during
the past season.
Aside from the remarkable growth
made by he trees, the land produced =
large crop Of exceptionally fine potatoes,
which were planted between the tree
rows. Mr.. Ferbrache sold his potato
crop for enough to pay for the trees,
their planting and all the cultivation put
on the land during the past year and
half.

Changes Are Made Necessary
to Meet the New
Laws.

New regulations are being drafted
by President Mott-Smith, number of
changes having been found necessary
last Legislature. The work has been
undertaken in a systematic manner,
but will require considerable time and
attention before it is finally COM
pleted.
The most important problem that
confronts the Health Department at
the present time is the completion of
preparations for the enforcement of
the new leprosy law, and this is also
being pursued in manner that will
set the machinery in motion without
undue loss of time.
The new leprosy statute is liberal
IN it's provisions, particularly by rea-
son of the clause relating to prelim-
mary treatment at the Kalihi Receiv-
ing Station. In addition to its liber-
ality, however, it possesses the equally
important requisite of effectiveness,
and in order to cast enlightenment on
its provisions and intent, the law will
be published in its entirety in both
the English and Hawaiian languages,
for general distribution In conjunc-
ton. pamphlet will be prepared ex-
planning the purpose of the law and
emphasizing the necessity for it's en-
forcement. the pamphlet to be also dis
tributed to the general public.
Policy of Publicity.
By this method of publicity and ex-
PLANTATION. President Mott-Smith hopes
to enlighten people throughout the
Territory as to what the government
wishes to do. AS all government ply
sicians are agents of the Board of
Health, in the enforcement of the law.
no difficulty is apprehended in this
respect.
President Mott-Smith is also draft.
ing new series of forms for the reg
istration of vital statistics, in con-
formity with the recommendation OF
the Bureau of Census of the United
States Government. The Census Blu.
reau has expressed a desire for gem
eral uniformity in the vital records
throughout the States and Territories
and the Board of Health will make
| the new records conform as nearly as
| is possible with the ideas of the Fed.
eral department, although certain
4 changes will be necessary to meet
| local conditions

convenience he objected to the motion
of the plaintiff Attorney Kinney EN-
phasized the fact that all the evidence
of the defense was in his hands and
that the defendants had no desire to
prevent the case coming up for an early

JUSTICE PERRY
TAKES HIS SEAT
Mr.. Fairbanks Has Praise for
the Judiciary of
Hawaii.

Antonio Perry had a rather auspi-
cious induction into office yesterday
as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of Hawaii, succeeding to the
place vacated by the resignation of
Sidney NJ. Ballou. In response to a
cablegram that was received from At
torney General Wickersham, inform
ing Perry of his confirmation by the
United States Senate, he took the oath
of Office to support the Constitution
of the United States and administer
even-handed justice to 'rich and
poor"
In company with Governor Frear,
ex-Vice President Fairbanks entered
the courtroom shortly before Justice
Perry took the oath of office, and was
present during the proceedings. Fol-
lowing the signing of the written oath
by Justice Perry, Chief Justice Hart
well said:
81 notice the presence of our dis
tinguished visitor-I wish he were not
merely a visitor-Mr. Charles w. Fair
banks, and Governor Frear. Mr.. Fair
banks, will you allow me to present
you with copy of Volume Is of the
Hawaiian Reports, for light reading
on your sea voyage? Nothing, I think.
gives a better idea of the character
of the country than the nature of its
judicial decisions. I think that you
will find that the decisions of this
court are remarkably free from tech
nicalities and that the arguments of
attorneys before the court are free
from frivolities and trivialities."
Commends the Courts.
The ex-Vice President showed plain
ly enough that he was very glad to
receive the latest volume of the Ha-
waiian Reports for light reading" on
his journey, and after accepting the
volume from the hands of the Chief
Justice, he said:
"Mr. Chief Justice and Associate
Justices: I thank you for this mark
of courtesy. The judicial institutions
of Hawaii have already made a favor
able impression upon me. and lam
not stranger to courts of justice. ]
desire to congratulate the court and
wish you the best of success
The Supreme Court then proceeded
WITH It's business, delayed by tNe
hardness of Perry's confirmation. The
first case heard was that of James B
Castle on a petition to register titlt
of land on an appeal from the Couri
of Land Registration. The case wa:
argued and submitted, E. c. Peter!
