subsoil and the wind with its swaying
force will soon throw the tree. Indeed
when the side roots and earth have been
removed from around a tree, the pry-
ing force, which the top will exercise
upon the remaining roots, will be irres-

of wind will contribute toward loosening
and breaking these tap-roots, which on
account of their position almost defy

CROSSING COTTON.

A communication to the Agricultural
News from DR.. c. E. Gooding, OF
Stirling, Barbados, describes expert
ments which have been undertaken by
him in the direction of procuring by
brids between Sea Island cotton and
the ordinary native cotton of the peren-
nial type In these, in July 1908, seed
from a large hardy native cotton tire.
was planted, and the following jan
uary when the plant was we'll grown,
some of it's flowers were pollinated with
pollen from a good strain of Sea Island
cotton, the procedure being to emas-
culate and bag the flowers of the native
cotton on the evening preceding Their
opening; then to pollinate them from
Sea Island flowers, and finally to bag
them for twenty-four hours. All the
flowers thus treated produced healthy
bolls, which duly came to maturity.
When ripe, the seeds from these bolls
were divided into two lots, one of which
was planted by itself in April Iooo
and the other, with other cotton seed,
under ordinary field conditions, in the
following July. The plants, especially
those sown in April, attained large size,
but this extra growth had been anti
cipated, and allowed for, by setting them
much farther apart than Sea Island
cotton is usually planted.
AS is pointed out in the account of
the experiment, the results show that,
under exactly similar conditions, the
yield of hybrid cotton was much higher
than that from the ordinary Sea Island
In terms of weight per acre, it was more
than twice as great, for, working out
the results in this way, Dr. Gooding
shows that the number Of plants per acre
and the yield of seed-cotton per acre were
as follows: Early planted hybrids,
648, and 2,54o pounds, late planted hy-
brids, T.21o, and 1904 pounds; Sea Is
land, 5000, and 7o5 pounds
In order to gain information as to
the quality of the lint, special re-
port was obtained on the cotton This
showed that those of the hybrid and
Sea Island types were both practically
the same, as the lint was of excellent
length, strength and 6neness, and the
same price was obtained for both kinds.
Further experiments are required to
show if heavy bearing is a definite
property of the strain obtained or
whether it is due to the stimulus of
crossing, and greater immunity from
disease, of the hybrids.

The Management Of New Ground

so large a tract as they can keep pretty
we'll subdued
Recently the Angora goat has at
tracted considerable attention as land
clearer While other animals upon new
land will usually confne their browsing
to buds and tender shoots, largely for
want of something better, the Angora
prefers brush to grass. 1t will not
only eat leaves and tender sprouts, but
it will bark bushes and saplings whose
tops it cannot reach This girdling is
very destructive to vegetable life.
1t is wiser, however, in most instances,
to use what stock and means we have at
hand as the value of land in most regions
is not sufficient to justify unusual ex-
pense in this Improvement
However, in clearing most pine land,
the cutting method is the most expedient.
The pine genus excepting two or three
species is happily peculiar Contrary to
the rule in forestry, when the pine is cut
off just above the ground it does not
throw up shoots. Consequently it soon
dies, and if the stump be small it rapid
ly decays.
Many pine lands throughout the South
may be cut off and safely left idle for
several years with assurance that roots
and stumps will rot. Pine soil is not so
impregnated with Objectionable growth
in an embryo state, waiting for an op-
portunity to develop into bushes, as is
hardwood land. New pine land is much
more amenable to cultivation than lands
from which other kinds of timber have
been moved This is owing to the semi
tap-root system of the pine and the brit
tie nature of its roots.
Alder is usually found in dwarf bush
size and in clusters Its habitat is low
lands and swampy bottoms 1t is master
of the land upon which it thrives, and
its masses of interlocked roots present
an impregnable obstacle to cultivation;
yet if it's vulnerable points are under
stood it may be quickly and easily dis
posed Of In August cut the a1ders off
at or below the crown, leaving the brush
where it falls The following spring,
after vegetation has started and the
ground is thoroughly dry, burn the area
over. If the cutting and burning have
been thorough, the alders will never re-
turn to plague you. The next year the
ground may be cultivated with compara-
tive ease
Stump pulling machinery manufacture
ed in several towns may be used, but
the expense of handling, adjustment and
repairs is so heavy that this system
would only pay on valuable land which
it is intended to devote to some specially
profitable crop
1t is not generally advisable to cut
off timber with view to grub out the
stumps afterwards 1t is much easier
to grub the standing timber than the
stumps after the trunk and tops have
been severed, for it is the tap roots
that are most inaccessible and difficult
to reach and cut, and the tops, by serv-
ing as a lever, greatly assist in loosening
these. In the removal of trees of con-
siderable size much labor may be saved
by digging a trench Immediately around
the base of the tree, cutting all the lat
erals, and leaving the tap-roots for the

feature of farm life is so little under
stood and so blindly pursued. There
is a large proportion Of uncleared land,
especially in the South, where large
areas once devoted to the cultivation
of cotton and tobacco have through
changed conditions invariably gone to
bush and small timber 1t is here that
large farms with many wooded acres
and only small parcels of cultivated land
are seen. Throughout the South the
proportion of brush and scrub timber
land is astonishingly and deplorably
large.
If he is a berefactor of mankind who
succeeds in making two blades OF grass
grow where only one grew before, how
much more benelcent is the mission
of making grass grow where only bushes
were wont to thrive.
The problem is not only how to clear
overgrown land, but whether it will be
profitable to do So Manifestly much
wooded land had better be left for tim
Der and fuel purposes. To cut away
young growth, which would within reas-
enable time possess timber value is
usually mistake To leave bush land
for it to develop into profitable timber,
is folly.
The timber consideration is now the
ony one that enters into the advisability
of clearing land The location of the
tract, together with the density and size
of the wooded covering, must be con-
sidered. The purpose for which the
land is adapted and the probable income
to be derived from it when cleared gen.
orally govern the advisability of clear
ing it. It is obvious that it may be
found profitable to clear land for truck
ing or orcharding when it would not be
profitable to do so for farm crops. In
the former case a return of $IOO or more
per acre may reasonably be expected,
while the gross income from an acre of
grass or grain will seldom exceed SIS
or $40.
Generally the expense of clearing will
exceed the original cost of the land.
The cost per acre will vary from S. or
$40 per acre to $50 or $40, conditional
upon kind, density, and size of wooded
covering In many localities there is
fair demand for wood, the proceeds of
which will help to defray the cost of

NIT and there is a certain sentimental
satisfaction in working out the saliva
ton of ones own place The love of
ones native place is happily a virtue
that most men possess.
In adopting a method of clearing one
must be governed by various circumstan-
ces When circumstances permit, pas
turing is undoubtedly the most economi-
cal way of clearing land. In fact, if
the growth is large and the clearing is
to be profitable investment, pasturing
is probably the best method that can be
pursued; the purpose of this method
being to change the field from pasture
to cultivated ground The stock will
keep down new growth while stumps
and roots decay. Sheep and goats are
preferable, but any kind of stock is suit
able for this kind of pasturing. Horses

for San Francisco. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Perelstrous and viii go in
eastern Canada, as far as Montreal and
Ottawa. Mr.. Perelstrous expects to
close negotiations with prominent Can.
adam railroad builders for the securing
of several thousand laborers for rail
road construction work.
On his recent visit to British Colnm.
bia, Perelstrous called upon Premier
Mcbride and secured his sanction to
a Russian immigration plan, the British
Columbia official welcoming the sugges.
ton as a most opportune one. Rail
road laborers are so scarce in Canada
that work on the two transcontinental
lines building was very much impeded
and the contractors had been endeayor-
ing to secure suspension of the anti
oriental laws in order that they might
bring in Japanese and Chinese labor.
ers. Premier Mcbride opposed this very
much and the appearance of Perelstrous
at the opportune time with his Russian
labor plan gave the premier a chance
to point out to the clamoring contrac.
tors where white labor was available.
Recently, Sir Wilfrid Laurler, the
Canadian premier, refused pointblank
to listen to any suggestions regarding
the suspension of the immigration re.
striction against orientals, and the rail.
roads accordingly wrote to Perelstrous
to come up and prepare for business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perelstrous will return
to Honolulu before Christmas. Mrs.
Perelstrous will stay here with her chill
dren and Mr., Perelstrous win go to
Manchuria after workers for Canada.
He expects to make Honolulu his head
quarters in all the immigration plans
he has, which include some Mexican
contracts as well as those from Canada.

him to explain himself on the immi-

smiled, and made his explanation. 1t
was brief and as explicit as most
Democratic arguments, for it amount

FIND DISEASED
MEAT IN MARKET
Laboratory Experiments Expose
Criminal Negligence Of
Political Appointees.
lFrom saturdayIs Advertiser.l


What viii probably prove 10 be the
first hin a crusade for a sanitary
meat and fish market was taken yester-
day, when, by order of Territorial Chem
list L, B. Blanchard, a Chinese butcher
occupying stall an the market was
arrested and charged with selling rotten
meat.
Chang Yai, the first man TO fall into
the clutches of. those who are attempt
ing to clean out this spot, will be ar
raigned this morning in police court
and viii be tried next week. The meat
which has been secured from his stall
was found to be full of maggots from
the eggs laid by the swarms of flies
which disgrace the city's market center.
Seven other samples of meat are now
in Blanchard IS laboratory all of them
expected to develop maggots. These
samples were found matted with flies ,
eggs, and Blanchard states that many
more samples could be secured in the
same state.
The condition of the market he brands
as disgraceful, and by the arrest made
yesterday launches a campaign to arouse
public sentiment to such a degree that
it will force the fish and meat and even
the vegetable merchants to place their
goods under glass or in other ways pro
tcct them from the fly.
These insects, which are advertised
by the health boards of the country at
an expense of thousands as the deadli-
est means of transporting disease, are
allowed full range in the market. Blan-
chard believes the fish partially immune,
as the salt water sprinl1led on them
keeps the flies off, but few eating meat
exposed as this is can escape an un-
known flavoring sauce of maggot eggs,
according to the experiments being car
ried on in the official Laboratories.
The arrest of Chang Yai win be fol-
lowed by that of others as fast as the
experiments come to a head and the
warning to the public is duly given as
to the meat it is getting. Blanchard
recommends that market patronage be
given only to those dealers who keep
their meat covered, to force this meth
cd IS adoption everywhere.
A city ordinance could be drafted
covering the whole situation.
The meat inspectors in the market
are apparently doing nothing but play
politics. Mr.. Blanchard is doing the
best he can to remedy the laxity Of the
men responsible for the public health
by carrying on laboratory experiments
and calling attention to the results.
The meat inspectors have not brought
one case into court during the whole
time that they have retained their of
fee, yet Blanchard IS present cases and
many cases in the past, where indignant
customers have exhibited rotten fish in
court and called the merchants to legal
account, testify to the burning need of
inspection and enforcement of what reg
ulations there are.
