HonoIuIan Had Fine Trip.

Honolulan Had Fine Trip.
The fine steamship Honolulan chart
cred by the Matson Navigation Com
pany arrived from San Francisco last
night, after a passage of a little over
six davs. She had an excellent trip
down, the worst part of the journey
being outside of San Francisco, when
it was a little bumpy. She had a
fairly big passenger list, and her car
go for this port totalled 2846 tons of
cargo. while for Kahului she has 600
tons and fifty tons for Kaanapali. She
also brought forty-seven bags of mail.
The livestock included two thorough
bred HOlstein bulls, one for Paul Isen-
berg, and the other for Kamehameha I
School. There are also two mules
for Kahului, and two horses for Alex
ander & Baldwin Two automobiles
are for local agencies. Two double
ended launches in the cargo excited
much interest. These are for the
Hawaiian Irrigation Company. They
have propellers at both ends, The idea

Hawaii for San Francisco.

The barkentine Hawaii is now un-
loading at the Railroad wharf. AS
soon as she has discharged all her
cargo of fertilizer, she will proceed
to Mahuhona to load a cargo of sugar
for San Francisco.
The Trouble on the Hawaii.
The men on the Hawaii, with the
exception of the cook, the first and
second mate and the carpenter, were
all paid off today by United States
Shipping Commissioner Almy. They
called at his Office at one o'clock and
received their money. The Commits
sioner went carefully through the
advances against them, and with the
exception of reducing the tobacco ac-
count from eighty to fifty cents a
pound, all the items were allowed.
He questioned them with regard
to the matter that appeared in yes.
terdays Star, in which it was stated
that they were dissatisfied with the
conditions regarding the food, and
that there was a kick from the mate
that the lights were not burning the
stipulated number of hours. The
men stuck to their story that they had
not got enough to eat, but admitted
that they had made no complaint at
all. They said that they would not
be bothered going complaining, see-
ing that it was only short passage
-forty-two days. The mate, the
cook and the carpenter called at the
Star office this morning, and intimat.
ed that they were going to call on
the commissioner at eleven o'clock
this morning with regard to conn.,
plants, but inquiries of Mr.. Almy
developed the information that they
had not made the complaint.
They had complained generally, he
said, so he told them to go on board
and see the captain. If they wanted
to get paid here all right, he would
give them their money, if not, wel
they could go and leave the ship at
Aberdeen, where they would be paid
off. They left him then. AS far as
he could ascertain there was nothing
wrong with the food. The men had
not stated whether they wanted their
whack-whack means the government
amount-or whether they wanted full
and plenty, He could not, in the cir
cumstances, see that the captain had
done anything wrong.
Foohng Suey's Long Passage.
Away back on April II the sailing
ship Foohng Suey left here for Ma
kukona to load sugar for New York.
She was off port there some time
ago, but was unable to enter owing to
a gale blowing, She afterwards dis
appeared, and it was supposed that
she had put to sea to return at a
favorable opportunity. Since then,
however, nothing was seen or heard
of her until this morning when the
Marion Chilcott got in from Port
Costa. The officers on the Marion
Chilcott yesterday at noon saw YES
sci that they thought was the Foohng
Suey in longitude 155.42, latitude 21.26

should already have his seed corr
tested and ready for planting
That it pays to test the terminating
qualities of seed should not be ques
toned. BY careful tests made a
experiment stations, the indications
are that from Is to 20 per cent Of
the average seed corn will not ger
inmate under field conditions. Some
farmers do not test their seed com,
because they think it does rot pay
for the time expended. The losses
due to bad stands of corn could he
very materially lessoned by testing
the seed corn. 1t is true that bad
stands can be replanted but this
makes lot of late corn which will
not ripen, and not only spoil when
gathered, but will spoil much other
corn with it. The plan Of planting
enough extra seed is not good one
since the work Of thinning out so
much unnecessary corn is much
more than the work needed to test
the seed. A very good tester can
be mado by securing shallow box,
n size suited to the number of ears
to be tested. Then buy a few yards
of canten flannel from the store and
lay off piece of il as large as the
box, to be used into inch squares.
either put about two inches OF sand
or saw dust i'll the bottom and then
spead the cloth marked off in
squares over the sand or saw dust,
and moisten the whole with water.
Several thicknesses of cloth in the
bottom of the box may be used in
stead of the sawdust or sand. Num-
Der the squares on the cloth and
IL on take the ears to be tested and
remove six grains from different
p arts of each car and place six
grains from one ear in square No. l
and number Ills ear No. 1, and so
on until all the cars used. Now
place two or three riches of the
cloth over the corn and moisten the
cloth. Place the box where it Will
be in temperature Of about IS TO
20 degrees in the day time and
from so to 90 degrees ut night.
Keep the cloth moist until the corn
is well sprouted. Then examine
the grains from each car and dis
card every ear from which all the
grains do not produce good, heal
thy sprouts. Even if one grain
from ear does not produce good
strong sprout, discard that car, for
this indicates that one sixth Of the
grains on that car arc not suitable
for planting, In seven, ten ear
samples of seed corn furnished by
the farmers in Gilmor county and
tested at tho Normal school, at least
rs per cent of the cars proved by Il
test, to not be suitable for planting
aud yet these samples were probab-
~ better than the average seed corn
of the country. Some Of the very
bost looking cars showed by the
test that not moro than two thirds
of the grains would grow under
field conditions. Bulletins for the
purpose Of giving information on
corn testing can be secured from
