RETAINING THE SOIL MOISTURE

elements are not in an available form
they are of little value to the crop
Taking these facts as self evident
tEen it is quite plain just what our
Fart of the work is to see that the
plants get what they require
Nature is not so lax in her work
ings as to make it impossible for US
TO produce food stuffs even during a
drought
A hard packed soil will not produce
a good crop in a dry season.
This We all know.
A mellow soil, however, that is prop
erly handled so as to maintain a pro-
per soil mulch will, during a very dry
season produce good crop.
This is not guess work on our part,
1T has been proven time after time.
We often wish that we were in a
position to irrigate when in fact we
are; because, as some one has said
we can hold the water in the soil and
let it soak up instead of running it
over the surface to- let it soak in.
Through the proper contact of the
soil particles the moisture of the sub
soil can be brought up to the plant
roots.
Contact, however, does not mean
cohesion.
Humus alone is not assurance that
the soil will retain moisture; deep
Flowing is advised, especially in heavy
clay soils, and some even claim that
they have used dynamite to advantage
in breaking up the hard subsoil
We have never had occasion to use
dynamite for this purpose nor have we
seen it used; but if it works out as
well in practice as it does in theory
1t is a good thing.
First of all considerations, however,
in the fight against drought is humus
And the way to get this is through
clover and stable manure.
The deep blowing makes for better
and deeper capillary contact of the
soil particles
of the soil the more moisture it will
hold.
1t is claimed that an inch of water
evaporates each week from a baked
soil, and that one inch of water may
be just the difference between a good
crop and poor one.
We must fight against soil crust and
soil baking at all times if we want to
conserve moisture.
Let us keep in mind these three
things:
Provide the soil with plenty of hui
mus.
Plow deep to make sure of proper
contact of the soil particles, and to
make good root bed for the plants
Keep a good soil mulch for the crop
al all times during the growing sea-
son.
IT We do this we will do much to-
ward warding off drought

ALL YOU NEED IS
A GASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious Stomach,
Coated Tongue or Constipated
Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the head
ache, the billiousness, the indlges-
ton, the sick, sour stomach and foul
gases-turn them out tonight and
keep them out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach
Don't put in another day of dis
tress Let Cascarets cleanse and reg
ulate your stomach; remove the sour
undigested and fermenting food and
that misery-making gas; take the
excess bile from your liver and
carry out of the system all the de-
composed waste matter and poison
in the intestines and bowels. Then
you will feel great
a Cascaret tonight will surely
straightcn you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A lO-cent box
from any drug store means clear
head and cheerfGlness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe
or sicken.

Practically all. the imports into
the Hawaiian Islands are from the
United states, except few articles.
required by local conditions, which
can not be obtained in this country.
The imports of foreign merchandise
amounted to about five million dol
lars, made up chiefly of nitrates
from the western coast of South
America, and Japanes products i'm
ported from Japan to meet the de-
mands of the 10000 persons of
Japanese birth or parentage now
living in the islands. The census of
1910 shows the population of the
Hawaiian Islands at 191,9O7, of
which 10000 are classed as Pap
anese, $4,000 as Hawaiian, $4,000
Portuguese, and 2l,50O as Chinese.
The number of persons born in the
United States residing in Hawaii in
1910 has not yet been announced
by the census of that year, the fig
ures of 1900 having been stated at
1858. The total population has
grown from $4,000 in 1873 to 1922
600 in 1910, the growth of the for
eign population during the period
being from $500 to $4,000, while
the number of Hawaiians declined
from $500 in 1872 to $500 in
1870
The figures of trade show a con-
tinuous excess of exports over i'm
ports. In 1875 the excess of exports
over imports was s4O7 y265; in 1890,
six million dollars; in 1901, four
and one-third million; and in 1871,
fourteen and one-half million. Im-
ports have increased from one and
two-third million dollars in 1875 to
twenty-eight million dollars in 1911;
exports from two million to AZ %
million dollars, the figures for 1917
including % million dollars worth
of merchandise received from, and
