were 40.965, 1000 acres in corn and
30,692,O00 acres in cotton, which
would shaw yearly loss Of over Gil
millions Of dollars. This loss can be
greatly reduced by intensive cultiva-
ton continued as late in the season
as possible and by moving the road
sides, the fence corners, the borders
of the fields and the pastures in June
and IN August. At first it seems like
a waste of labor. but its beneficial

DESTROYING SHADE TREES.
Species of Caterpillars Are Damae ing
Shade Trees OF the City.

Judge T. f. Richardson who Is
an interested observer Of all sorts
Of nature. showed an Item reporter,
Wednesday. a branch of one Of
the many beautiful oak shade trees
in the city. which was almost covered
with a specie Of yellow caterpillar.
All of the leaves had been eaten
off Of the branch, and Judge Rich
ardson stated that such was the case
on a large number of shade trees
throughout the city.
He stated further that he had talk
ed with DR.. Ellison A. Smyth, Pro-
fessor Of Biology in the Virginia
Polytechnical Ipstitute, who spent
yesterday In thi city with friends,
regarding the destruction of these
caterpillars. and that DR.. Smythe
stated that spraying was the proper
remedy for getting rid of them.
He said, however, that spraying
would not affect caterpillars, which
lives in webs. and that they would
either have to be burnt out or the
limbs on which they constructed
their woos would have to be cut off.

Stumps, Brush, Weeds, Grass.

We pay larger tax every year for
stumps, weeds and grass than is re-
quired to support our municipal.
county, State and Federal govern
ments. to endow all the colleges and
educate all the youth of the land;
and we got no return. A stump not
only occupies valuable space but it
prevents the use of improved imple-
ments for better and more rapid TIL
lage of the soil. The cost of farm la
Dor is on the increase with the GER
tainty that this will continue till the
equation of wages on the farms and
in the town or city is more equal.
The remedy for high priced labor on
the farms is the use of more and
better teams and implements. If the
day wage on the farms Of the South
advances from SITS to $3.50 then
each farm hand must plow, plant and
cultivate twice as many acres in a
day as he did before and this Is an
easy problem. But the stumps must
go, and the farmer who does not try
to get rid of them will soon be a
back number. The stump farmer
pays about $500 an acre very year
for the privilege of having stumps in
his fields. In addition, there are
generally few feet of untitled soil
around every field stump which pro-
duces foul weeds and grasses to seed
the land.
What has been charged against
stumps applies with still more force
to trees, shrubs and bush patches in
the field; dig, burn, destroy; they are
natural enemies Of the farmer.
Straighten out the sides Of the field,
square up the corners and avoid the
short rows as much as possible; they
increase the work of tillage.
Farmers have become so accus-
toned to fighting weeds and grass in
the cultivated fields that they regard
1T as matter of necessity. They
think the land is full Of foul seeds
and Of course they will germinate
when 1t rains,
When virgin soils are first placed
In cultivation they are comparatively
free from weeds and grass, and that
they become foul is due to faulty
management on the part Of the farm
ers. 1T is not difficult 70 discover the
real causes. First. careless cultiva-
ton, which allows weeds and grass
to mature seed In the cultivated
fields. Second. little attention is paid
to the highways, the brush patches,
the fence corners and the pastures,
and they are almost universally
breedings for foul weeds and grass. It
ha-- been charged that the Southern
farmer is careless. It may be true
In some things, but in one thing too
many Of them stand first among the
farmers Of the world. they never fail
to raise n crop Of weed and grass seed
large ei.ough to seed their own fields
and their neighbors.
The cost Of this universal weed and
grass seeding amounts annually to
more than five dollars for each acre
In corn, and ten dollars for each acre
In cotton. In 1909 in the States of

failed for .he time being. as only a

those Who were active In promoting
the movement should not abandon
the undertaking. for early closing
has much TO recommend II and all
the merchants will probably see the
reasonableness of the proposition in
time and will fall into line.
Some sort OF censorship should be
exercised by the city authorities over
bin boards. and pictures Of a sug-
gestive or lascivious nature should be
prohibited. There is a board Of
health, a city physician and a health
officer TO safeguard the physical
health OF the community. as Is right
and proper. but there Is no public
agency to safeguard the morals Of

team left Hilo yesterday afternoon on
the Inter-Island steamer Claudine for
Maui, after doing up the picked nine
of Hawaii most effectually. The Jap
anese visitors shut out the Hiloites
nine to nothing in the first game last
Friday. Saturday the Hilo bunch got
lead on the Wasedas, when one OF
those gentle showers which occasion
ally trickle down on the Big Island
metropolis came to the invaders res
cue and the game had to be called on
account of the moisture. Sunday the
visitors turned out in form and trim
med their adversaries seven to one.
4 local fan, who claimed to be an
authority on the Hilo baseball sltua-
ton, said yesterday that the Hawaii
PLAYERS were individually strong enough
to wallop the willy Wasedas, but there
was so much rivalry existing between
them they could not bury the Ratchet
and unite against the common enemy.
The Wasedas will play one match IN
Kahului and one in Waikiki before
their return to Honolulu.

LETTERS.

There s dear, pathetic ballad that was
popular of yore.
They played it until II O'Clock at
night.
The tenors and sopranos and the barry
tones would roar
It's melody, so soulful, yet polite.
It was Just simple dtty of a style
that was the rage,
Until the ragtime MARBLE blocked its
game.
All. well do l recall the words upon the
title page:
"The Letter That He Longed for
Never Came
How often has my sympathy gone forth
unto that lay,
Until I thought about the discomfort
Of many careless person who is
mourning to this day
DER the letter that he wished he
hadn't sent.
That missive undelvered, though a mat
ter for regret,
Unto the one of whom the poet wrote,
IF it had been received, perchance
would make its writer fret
When LAWYERS came selected bits to
quote.
It's safer in the Office where dead let
tiers have to go
If it was something penned with heart
aflame,
And now to some one It may be
great relief to know
That the letter which was longed for
never came.
The epithets endearing and the choice
but ardent rhyme,
Though most delightful when sincere
" meant,
Nav undergo strange transformations
in the course of time,
And be letters that you wish you
hadn' { sent.
