PRIMARY BILL
Up ON MONDAY
Favorable Report Adopted By
House With Majority Com
mittee Against.

Directing not to the meaning, but to
the form. of the direct primary bill
as reported from the judiciary COM
mittee. majority of the committee
yesterday afternoon submitted an adj
verse report The minority submitted
a favorable report, and the House,
with the assistance of a solid Oahu
delegation this time. adopted the mi
nority report and passed the bill to its
final reading.
| The bill win be up for final passage
next Monday and there is little doubt
that it will pass. If the opponents
had had the strength, they might have
squelched the bill by adopting the mi
nority report yesterday, but the House
is not as a whole against the primary
measure.
The judiciary committee has had the
| bill under consideration since early in
the session, and the form which it fl
nally took is the result not only of
many committee meetings, but of
public hearing. 1t is significant to note
! that the majority that reported against
the bill is composed of members from
the other islands-W. ]. Sheldon and J.
H. Coney of Kauai, and II. S. Richard
of Hawaii. The minority is composed
of two Oahu members-A. l.. Castle
and E. A. c. Long.
I The bill is fathered by the Repub-
| lican Legislative committee, which not
only drew it up in the original form,
but also worked with the judiciary
committee in redrafting it.
| When the committee reported it out
to the House yesterday afternoon, the
majority sent the following communi-
cation:
while your committee agrees that
direct primary bill should be enact
ed for the city and county of Homo
lulu, we do not approve of the bill
either in the form in which it was
introduced or as amended by Hon. A.
l.. Castle and Hon. e. A. c. Long. We
therefore recommend that this bill be
tabled
(Signed) "WM. j. SHELDON,
- II. COMFY,
q III. S. RICHARD" ,s
The minority report is as follows:
I'VE do not agree with the majority
report of your committee on IL. b. No.
81 We think that the proposed bill
will go a long way toward curing the
evils complained of in the present sys-
tenn OF nominating candidates I'VE
have amended the bill by providing
that the primary election shall be held
about three weeks before the general
election, instead of in September; thus
hoping to lessen the expenses of can
didates. We point to the fact that
direct primary has been an acknoWl- !
edged success in many States. though
failure in some. &
I'VE submit herewith the bill with
certain amendments, and as thus
amended we feel it will be a benefit
TO this city and county, and strongly
urge its passage.
(Sgned) "A. l.. CASTLE,
~ A. c. LONG"
No roll call was taken on the adop
ton OF the report, only show of

ure. However, many hands went up to
adopt the minority report; while Shell
don, Coney and Richard, the majority
members, alone showed any determine

GROW YOUR OWN HORSE RADISII.

Horse radish shoul be started very
early in the spring. 1t consists OF one
large root from which springs the
crown and a large number of smaller
roots.
These roots, small as a lead pencil
or larger, are cut off into lengths OF
from four to six inches and should be
placed in the ground with the thick
end up.
They should be planted about three
inches deep and the soil above them
pressed down firmly to prevent water
from reaching them before they start
to grow.
Make the soil loose and at least
a depth of ten inches Work into it
plenty of well-rotted manure Set
horse radish in rows about three feet
apart and at intervals of 20 Is
inches.
Then keen the weeds away from
them and the top soil loose with
frequent cultivation. A row six feet
long will supply a family with all it
needs. The plant will be ready for
use early In the fall and it makes it's
best growth then.
1t should be dug late in the fall after
all other crOp are off, the small root
tops removed and stored in sand in
the cellar or buried in pits in the
ground until wanted for use.

BROADCASTING VS.. DRILLING
NAL GRAIN.

During the past few years tests
have been to determine the
comparative yields obtained from
seeding small grain by the old method
of sowing broadcast and narrowing.
and by sowing with the press drill. All
conditions were identical for the plats
being compared, ~excerting the manner
of seeding During each season the
grain was soWn on corn stubble pre-
pared by disking. The average results
of the three seasons, indicate that
drilling increased the yield of spring
wheat IA bushels per acre, of barley
~ bushels per acre, of oats 10.7
bushels per acre, and of emmer 1913
bushels. per acre. Or drilling increased
the revenue 1887 per acre, considering
wheat worth 20 cents, barley 40 cents.
oats 80 cents and emmer 80 cents per
bushel. According to these results, the
increase in the value OF 20 acres OF
small grain planted with a drill over
the same area sown broadcast and
covered with the harrow would pay
for a SIS press drill.

Seed potatoes should be carefully
examined for traces of dry rot. Only
potatoes entirely free from disease
should be planted, for diseased seed
will be sure to grow a diseased crop.
Dry rot shows as dark or black spots
running through the potato from the
stem end. Usually the stem end Of
the potato. when diseased, will show
a sunken appearance around the stem.
In any case the dark spots show in
n tubers when cut across near the
stem end with a knife; in cases of
bad Infection, the black spots may run
half way through the tubers. Where
the infection is slight. it may occur
only near the stem enc OF course,
some of the tuberS may be free from
spots. and these are safe for planting
on new land. but the disease lives over
in the soil as we'll as in the tubers.
