HIGHS OUTSWlM
THE IRON WORKS
Soccer League Standing.

In spite of the drenching rain, the
first soccer game was played last Sat
urday. The High School had the bet
ter swimmers and so were able to de-
feat the Iron Works team by the very
close margin of / to 0.
It was delightful exhibition of the
great game Of water polo as it is play
ed on land At times the rain came
down in such torrents that it was inn
possible to see across the field, and it
would really be no exaggeration to say
that, at times, the ball was actually
floating.
The one and only goal was scored by
Henry chillingworth in the second half
OF play. He was at center forward,
and, having swum nobly for some TWEEN
ty feet, padding the bali along as best
he could, he finally came to a spot
where he could touch bottom, ducked
his head and batted the ball through.
The second game, between the Males
and Punahous, was postponed. This
will be played after the present series
is over. AS these two are in the lead
of the series, the game will probably
have to be played, and, coming at the
end of the series, it may well prove to
be the deciding game.
In spite of the fierce weather on
Christmas day, there was quite a little
crowd out to watch the games. Just
twice as large as the previous Satur-
day.

ENTRIES FOR
HILO RACES

HTLO, December 23.-All entries for
the horse races, to take place on New
Years day, will close at the Volcano
Stables Office on Saturday of this week
at 6 P. M, excepting the post entries
for japanese, luna, cowboy and broncno

on the track.
Entries for the Marathon race will
close at p. m. on Wednesday next,
December 30, thus giving time for the
sprinters from Honolulu or elsewhere
to get their names in.
Interest increases in the great event
of the day, the race between Weber

SAM HOP AS PRESS AGENT.

Sam Hop has turned press agent. He
is over in Hilo and is preparing to do
big things on New Years Day. He is
promoting some boxing. and evidently
intends to enter the ffteen-mile Mara
thon.
Sam Hop is good little man. He is
great hustler, and deserves to bring
a piece of change back from Hilo with
him. If he does, he will be the first
person who was ever known to effect
this remarkable feat.
This is what Sam says:
"HILO, Hawaii, December 24.-The
people of Hilo are preparing to cele-
brate New Year IS day in great style.
Horse races will be the principal event
of the gay, especially that between
Major Collier and Weber, and every

mails is the better.

every fan, and the fact that Sam Hop.

greatly boost this part of the event.
In the evening there will be box

two former will be between All Fook

BROWNS PATENT
REEF|NG SYSTEM
Freak Race Is Postponed, but
Pearls and Gladys Race
in Afternoon.

The second of the freak races was
not sailed yesterday morning. The air
was full of rain and the wind was non
est. So it was decided to postpone this
race until next Sunday morning at
half-p past ten o'clock.
After midday the weather began to
show signs of clearing, and brisk
southerly breeze sprang up. There
were glimpses of sunshine, and the
more enthusiastic sailors who had gath
cred at the clnbhouses, in the hope that
the weather would clear, Immediately
commenced hosting sails to dry and
balling out.
The amount of rain that had col
lected in the small craft was remark
able. Every sea-wren had water over
the tops of the sandbags, and the
Pearls We're almost waterlogged. But a
little hard work soon had them dry,
and then somebody suggested that the
Pearls have a race all to themselves
The course was decided on, and
shortly after two o'clock they started.
There was quite a little amusement af-
forded by Kenneth Brown, who insist,
ed on being allowed to enter with the
Gladys. The Gladys is a big s1oop, not
so very far, from thirty feet on the
water line and just about I'VE times as
large as the Pearls. But Brown said
he would allow a big handicap and so
he went in the race.
Those Wonderful Reefs.
By the time the small craft were
nearly out to the spar buoy, the Gladys
was about ready for a start. She had
a most wonderful system of reefs in
her sail. The original Brown system,
patented in the United States and Eu-
rope. The system is easy when you
know how. Take alternate first and
second reef points and tie them criss-
crossways. The result is really adj
mifable.
But the big sloop was soon chasing
after the smaller fry, and the danger
Gus turns round the dolphins were made
without any accident. If anybody but
Brown had tried to do it, there would
probably have been some pilikia, but
this sailorman is immune. If he start
ed to sail to San Francisco in a sea-
wren, he would get there, and proba
bly, do it in record time.
Squally Weather.
The wind was blowing in nasty
squalls up the harbor by the time the
small boats started on the second round
of the course. The run in before the
wind from the spar buoy was exciting
enough fer anybody to watch. With
all sail SCI, the little craft waved
crafty, and sometimes it looked as
though they would dive, but their
masts being well aft saved them from
any such disaster
The koloa, which was well up with
the Pearl in first place. parted hal
lard deck lead, and this c>used con-
siderable delay. so that Friday was
able to make only second place
On the last leg before the wind, the
Gladys had passed all the Pearls ex-
eept the Hough boat, and actually
passed her in going round the marine
Unfortunately. Brown did
not win, as he neglected to send man
ashore at the finish So the Pearl was
first. Koloa second and Ivy third, with
the Gladys disqualified.

the cob. To secure this the ear should
be well filed out at butt and tip and
fairly uniform in size from end to end.
The kernels should be so firm on the
ear that it cannot be twisted in the
hands. There should be no spaces
between the kernels next to the cob,
nor should the spaces between the
tops of the kernels be too great. They
should not be packed together too
tightly at this latter point, however,
as this binders rapid drying out. The
rows should be straight and the kerr
nels of uniform size.
In starting out to select ears of the
desired type the work can be. done
much more quickly if the corn is laid
out on a table or bench. Then by
taking an ear for a sample which
most nearly represents your ideal you
can go over the entire lot and quick
ly pick out the ears that are most
like it. The point of selecting ears Of
uniform type is an important one.
as only in this way can the corn
grower hope to make improvement
from year to year The methods Of
breeding corn to secure increased
yield will be taken up in detail In the

The use of the tanning nil a
means of sorting out the heaviest,
pumpest grains was spoken of in the
previous article. The importance Of
this means of seed selection cannot be
too greatly emphasized.
One of the principal reasons Tor Sc
lecting the largest grains for seed is
that they contain so much more food
for the young plant. This enables it
to make strong, vigorous start.
SUCH plants have mor~ vitality, grow
faster and produce larger yields than
plants from shriveled seeds. which
have struggle for existence from
the time they terminate Another
reason for selecting plump seed is
that the resulting crop is likely to be
of better quality and will thus bring
higher price when sold. The old
law Of like produces like applies to
plants as well as to animals. One Of
the surest ways of bringing about i'm
provement is by using parents of the
desired type year after year.

well. however, to give DrleI Outline
of the methods of prevention here.
Smut is a fungous growth that is
low form of plant which lives on other
plants. 1t usually attacks the heads
of small grain, filling the place where
the kernels should be with a black,
worthless mass. The black dust of
which this mass is made ur is COM
prised largely of spores. which CORE
spond to seeds of higher plants. These
spores become scattered over the seed
in thrashing and storing. In the
spring, when the grain sprouts, the
smut spore terminates also and sends
a tiny thread up through the stem to
the head, where it develops into the
familiar smut ball Often these smut
balls are inside of a hull that appears
perfectly sound from the outside. so
that the damage from smut is much
greater than would appear from sim
ply glancing over the field.
Any method of treatment which will
destroy the smut spores on the grain
will prove effective, although the smut
which is scattered in the field some
times infects the plants the next year.
When rotation is practiced, however.
this is seldom the case, as the oat
smut will not attack corn, nor will
corn smut grow on oats.
The selection of seed corn is even
more important than the selection of
small grain, since so much less corn
! is required to plant an acre. thus per
hitting of much more careful choice
The most important point to be consid
cred in the selection Of seed ears is ma
turity An ear that is not entirely ma
ture will be l'~ht, the kernels will be
loose on the cob and have dull
chaffy appearance, and the germs will
be shrunken and the back of the ker
nels wrinkled
Such corn should not be selected fol
seed because the amount of food ma

to give the young sprOut much Of s
start The germ is also likely to b.
