PRUNING SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The Annual Report of the Hawaii Agri-
1910 to July 30, 1911, issued April 9, 1912,
to which reference has been made already
IN the AgricaIfWu{ Neu%, gives attention
to the subject of the pruning of Sea Island
cotton, which has received some investigu-
ton III Hawaii. 1t states that, after the
plants had been pruned back to mere
stumps, some high and some low, the new
growth always started from near the ground
showing that if it is desired to grow Sea
Island cotton as a perennial, low pruning
should be practised; it is also necessary to
plant 1t wider than usual Is feet by 5 feet)
to give sufficient room for cultivation and
picking.
In the experiment that is described the
plants, after being cut back iii Deem
Der, doomed profusely in the spring, and
1t seemed that there would be a good crop;
attacks of the boil worm and of mcaly
bugs caused the bolls to be shed, however,
and the latter pest infested the plants SO
severely III some eases that they had to
be destroyed.
The only additional pruning that was
practised was that a few of the plants were
pinthed back just before the hollis began
to form; the result was that the plants
that had been pinched back lowered much
more profusely and somewhat earlier than
those which had not been SO treated. The
first picking was made on June 10, 1911,
and at that time the boil worm was pres

THE DANISH-AMERICAN PARK.

The dispatches from Denmark tell Of the
opening of a national park which American
citizens of Danish bnth have given to their
native land to be for ever a link between it
aud those who have gone out to seek homes

story. Most Of the heath is now gone; Of
that which remains, this section in the Re

of silyery lakes. 1t vas partly the wish to
preserve to all coming generations q typical
stretch of heath land that prompted the git.

MAKING MODELS OF FRUITS.

A method of fruit-modelllng IS thus de-
scribed in the Annual Report of the Ha-
wall Agricultural Experiment Station tor
1910-1l:-
Fruit modelling as a means of record
has been used to some degree IN the study
of mango varieties. Modelling has some
advantages over photographing or verbal
description as a permanent record. The
method used was applied at the station
first by the late Mr.. F. n. Otremba, who
was an expert in this line OF work The
method, however, is SO simple and conve-
nient, that it does not require artistic
talent to use it successfully Other mem
bers of the staff have found it convenient,
and it might be worth while here to re.
cord the method for the convenience OF
others who may wish to apply it,
The principle involved is simply to make
a mould by pouring a medium OF glue d ld
g~elatine about the fruit to be modelled.
This when cold is cut open and the truit
removed, leaving the mould, INTO when
plaster of Paris is placed i'll a liquid form
and allowed to solidify, making the cast

and g~eiatine. The glue should be re-

CHINESE SEE
SHORT COMINCS
Say Americans hOld 0RIy One
Of Five Essentials Of
Character

The Chinese say that Americans
and Europeans have only one of the
hve essentials of character, according
to the Chinese requirements" said DR..
Edward Hume, NJ d., field secretary
of Yale College in China. addressing
the Second Baptist congregation in
TINS city yesterday morning. "Bonevol-
ence. he continued. "the Chinese say
We lack because we brought opium
INTO China; righteousness we lack be-
cause we come over there with war
ships TO enforce unjust claims; rever-
ence for ancestors and propriety we
lack absolutely The Chinese do con-
cede we are more truthful than they"
The medical missionary declared that
the corrupt and immoral life led by
many OF the Europeans who came 10
China was the greatest stumbling
block there was in introducing Chris
tianity. He said the Chinese are keen
judges Of character and very critical,
and II was well for the western mis-
sionaries to go to them in a humble
spirit.
Continuing DR.. Hume said:
The accounts given by our some
what hysterical writers Of the reyo-
luton in China show jusl the sur
face, for the political revolution IN
China is just the froth. the whole mass
Of the people are sstirred to their
depths in every way" Referring to
the frequently made statement that
western people ought 10 leave the
Chinese their own religion. DR.. Hume
said that the Chinese themselves are
student-led people, and they de-
clare that their own religion is not
satisfying. They had the worship OF
Supreme Being. who was not looked
upon as a Father, and the worship of
good and evil spirits. Buddhism was
introduced to supply religious cere-
monials for funerals. marriages. etc
Now the danger is that China will be-
come a nation Of materialists unless
Christianity is spread there. The
leading Chinese say they need not sc
much financial loans and railroads as
they do character among the citizens
of their new republic, and the con.
viction that Christianity is the bes
way to form character has led th'
students Of China to urge its adoption
by their countrymen."
The president Of the new Republic
and the Republics ambassador tC
America are Christians. said Dr
Hume. He praised the writings o
Confucius and said that missionariel
should admit their wisdom. which wal
comparable TO the Book Of Proverbs
Dr. Hume will speak on the social
political. and other phases Of tn
Chinese Revolution al o'clock TO
night before tho Mems Club Of Secon
Baptist Church. Mrs. Hume, at th
same hour, will address the Women
Missionary Society.
