TALK
BY JAPANESE
Shinpo, Jill and Chronicle Discuss
Report Of Impending
Trouble.
AGITATION IS STILL ON
Jill Says News of Strike Plans
Was Printed to Injure
Conspirators.

That the news given by The Adver'
tiser regarding an impending strike of
the japanese plantation laborers was
timely, was the gist Of an editorial in
the Hawaii ~hinpo yesterday morning
in commenting on The Advertiser 5
story. In its review of the question the
Shinpo said:
1--WE think the warning a wise one,
for ii is through such warnings that
strikes may be prevented, and strikes
may be prevented better than cured.
We don't believe a second strike viii
happen, for the reason that the strike
last year ended with no results and only
disturbed economIc conditions. How
ever, the policy OF the planters asso-
citation can not he said TO be carried
out by some Of the plantation managers
IN good faith, and the laborers have not
been able to see the material benefit OF
the bonus system yet. If the plantation
managers viii try te take advantage of
the ignorance of the Japauese laborers,
strike viii he probable.
1t can not be said that the labor
question is entirely solved. \ warning
should he given TO both the planters
and the Iahorers. As we argued every
dav during the strike, il would resuI,
only in a revival Of he auti-JapaneSe
sentiment. and another strike should not
he started.
THE strike is the weapon Of the
.ahorers, but the display OF weapons
Is an abuse. We would like to see the
restrictions on Japanese immigration
repealed for he benefit of the japanese
" 10 the wage question, it should be
solved peacefulIy.'
The Nippu Jiji, on ehe morning fol
lowing The Advertiser story, stated
editoriallv as follows:
I've are entirely unconscious hat 3
strike IS impending. The story appeared
so suddenly that we were very muct
surprised. The story in The Advertise
was made out Of whole cloth, but il was
very natural that that paper SHOULD
print it. as The Advertiser is the organ
Of the capitalists and would be scare,

REEFS MAY HAVE BIC
AMOUNT TO REPAY
Auditor of the Treasury Decides
Some Officers Have Had
Too Much Pay.

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-A deci-
SION has been given by the auditor of
the treasury for the navy department
affecting the officers of the line who
were rewarded by promotion for gallan-
try in the war with Spain and have
since been carried as additional mum
bers on the naval register. The decl-
sion of the auditor is TO the effect that
staff officers who are promoted to the
next higher grade with their socalled
running mates Of the line were not pro
noted to. fill vacancies which exist.
That beng the case. the aditor SAYS,
they can not get increased pay on pro
motion until the senate has confirmed
such advancement. Hitherto the Of
ficers have had the Increased pay when
they were actually promoted As the
senate did not confirm such promotion
in many cases until weeks. and some
time. months. after the advancement.

WOMAN SAVES DETECTIVES
Chicago Officers Rescued From Drown.
Ing BY Bravery Of q Michigan
Heroine.

Chicago.-Two Chicago detectives
on vacation in Michigan narrowly
escaped drowning when. a rowboat in
which they were riding capsized on
Black lake near Holland, and but for
the bravery of a woman neither would
have reached the shore alive. News
OF the accident was brought to Chi.

officers.
Sergt Timothy O'Brien OF the de-
tective bureau and Sergt. Michael
Connors Of the Desplaines street sta
ton owe their lives to Jennie Goshen,
who refused to tell where she lived or
to accept any reward.
At Virginia beach O'Brien became
weary Of rowing and attempted to
change places with Connors. The wind
was blowing hard and the lake was
choppy. The boat was bobbing shout
like q cork and when O'Brien arose Il

The Colony House.

The permanent colony house Is no,
as good as the portable. The portable
house Is usually built upon runners
similar to the common stone boat. In
the spring and summer they are drawn
upon the range, and In winter may be
brought up near the feed house and
arranged in rows, so 1t is almost as
easy to care for the birds as II they
were in a single continuous house. The
colony-house system is in general use
in England, and is practically the only
system employed, says writer in
Baltimore American. These colony
houses have wheels at each corner and
no floors. / would advise those who
contemplate going into the poultry
business, no matter on what scale, to
start with the colony system. It takes
q little more work. but It, Is best In
the end, and the chances Of success
are much greater than where the other
plans are followed. .

SOIL FERTILITY IS WANING


The agricultural department =
washington Ii concerned about the ex-
haustion Of the soil Of the United
States. On the prairies Of the west
fertility Is beginning to wane. In
many Of the older communities fertil-
ity has been reduced below the point
of profitable production How to store
and maintain productivity Of sofl is y
most important phase Of the conserva-
ton problem.
These observations are set forth In
q farmers bulletin prepared by w. j.
Spillman, agriculturist In charge Of
the ONCE Of farm management Of the
agricultural department. Mr.. Spillman
says that In order that the prairie
country may not follow the descent
OF the east and south 1t is necessary
that intelligent and vigorous effort be
made to farm correctly.
Renting of land on short leases for
the purpose Of growing grain for the
market Is one Of the surest means OF
reducing the productive power Of the
soil. Well managed pastures and ra
tional systems of crop rotation are nee
essary to the development of perma
nent systems of profitable farming.
Land owners must realize this, and
must take steps to improve renting
methods by stocking their farms with
q full complement Of domestic animals
in case the renter is not able to dc
this for himself. and by giving longer
leases whereby the renter may rear
the reward of intelligent management
In view Of the soil waste that has
occurred. Mr.. Spillman asserts, it II
not surprising that values Of farm
products have risen to marked de
gree In the last few years.

POTATO BUGS ARE At WORK.
War Must Be Commenced Early and
Continued With vigilance-Parls
Green Recommended.


Potato bugs are at work. They are
an enemy to be poisoned by the pota
to grower. War must be commenced
early and continued with vigilance.
Paris green Is the most highly recon-
mended. 1t may be used as q spray,
with a sprinkler, mixed with air slaked
lime. -four, or fine, dry road dust, siftel
over the potato plants when covered
with dew or rain. In any form of ap-
plication at least one pound of Paris
green should be used per acre. but
when the plants are large greater
amount may be required. The Mime
sofa Experiment station prefers to use
Paris green mixed into q thin paste
with water and then stirred In the
larger volume Of water to be used In
a. sprayer. Very good results. however.
have been obtained by the use Of a
common sprinkler Where the crop Is
large and 1t Is possible to procure one.
q power Sprayer is. advised and re-
garded as almost indispensable. Milk
Of lime. made by shaking two pounds
Of stone lime In water to each pound
Of Paris green. should be carefully
strained into the poisonous mixture to
prevent burning Of the plants. Arsen.
ate Of lead may be used as potato
bug poison, but 1t Is more expensive
than Paris green. Paris green may
be mixed with bordeaux mixture, when
the mixture is used as disease de-
stroyer. In this case no additional
lime need be added.
