TO give 1t its proper title, has for
more than a century been known as
George Washington's church." not
only because he attended its services
more regularly than those at any 9TH
er church. but because he was a men,
Der and a pew-holder at this church.
1t was, indeed. while Washington
was a member that the congregation
In the year 1857 built the stately
house of worship which has not only
defled all the ravages of time but is in
regular use to this day and has been.
even within very recent years. the
scene OF many interesting religious
ceremonies. Something Of George
Washington's interest in the new
church may be surmised from the fact
that when 1t came to assigning pews
In the new edifice he outbid all other
members In the competition to win
FIRST choice Of location and subscribed
the record-breaking price Of nearly
$3.50 for the pew upon which his fancy
had fallen and which he regularly oc.
cupied on almost every Sunday there
after. This pew is marked with a sill
yer plate bearing facsimile Of Wash
ington's autograph. and 1t is interest
ing to note that Just across the aisle
is the pew long held by the Lees of
Virginia and which was occupied prior
to the Civil war by Gen. Robert E.
Lee, the military leader Of the Con-
federacy.
The pew which George Washington
bespoke when Christ church was first
opened and for which he agreed to
pay a yearly rental OF five pounds
sterling equivalent to nearly $25) in
addition to the thirty-six pounds, ten
| shillings which he subscribed for It
at the outset Is now reserved for the
use of strangers, and this is a much
appreciated courtesy on the part OF
the present congregation. for, OF
course, every stranger who visits
Alexandria longs to sit In the great
square pew which was once occupied
by His Excellency, the General" and
to gaze up at the high pulpit from
exactly the viewpoint Of the Father
OF His Country In the days when he
was the most conspicuous participant
In the church services.
George Washingtons pew in the
old church remains to this day exact
ly as II was when he occupied 1t each
Sunday morning, and this preserva
tion is a matter Of congratulation In
asmuch as all the other pews In. the
church we're somewhat changed In

This suggestion came to mefbecause
we found many teachers deeply inter-

expense and extra labor were demon
strating TO their pupils by object les
sons in farming. Then, too, they are
in touch with every family in their re-
spective districts and can spread this
knowledge more rapidly than by any
other means. Let them ask Mr. Star
rett to visit their district to note their
soil and climate, to tell them what
and when to plant. OF course with
small family gardens the time to
plant is of little Importance in this
climate but for commercial crops there
is certain time to plant to get the
best results and highest prices. No
other time will do. Some have al

cessive rain will cause a fungus, but
that condition is only small percent
of your trouble.
| AS we travelled from one district
to another and heard reports on
blight, | recollected similar eondi-
lions would sometimes occur in the
Eastern States. When we would have
several days of warm, humid weather
kthe vine would take ON tender, hot
house growth. An hour of sunshine
would blight the whole field with a
consequent short crop. A sprinkle
of rain followed by hot sunshine be-
fore the vines are dry would be suf
ficient to scald and blight them.
In the Kula district where they had
no rain since April, they have mol
blight, and the fields of potatoes APP
pear as luxnriant as anywhere.
To get around this condition you!
want to first discover those districts
that are least subject to this humid
condition. For instance the regioni
from Hilo to the Volcano House isl
liable to blight every month in the /
year, while in the Kula district there |
gre certain months it will not appear.
Let the farmer in this district land !
10 doubt there are other places Just
as free from blight: the Haiku coun-
try is nearly sol plant potatoes about
December 1st, or if liable to a Janu- /
airy frost, plant January 1st, and sci
lect such varieties that will mature !
in eight or ten weeks. But this is
not all; your potatoes must be plant |
ed properly, cultivated properly, and !
properly sorted and culled for mar
ket. For instance, we found one field |
of potatoes that had escaped blight |
and matured. The farmer, Japan |
csc, was digging them q should say
scratching them out with his fingefs) |
The soil was ideal. but 80 per cent |
of the crop lay at the surface exposed |
to the sun, green, and eaten by in |
sects, chickens, and about so per cent |
that were beneath the surface We're !
free from scale, of good size, and. a
credit to any farmer. Notyithstand. |
ing there was no rain since April, the /
soil, four inches below the surface /
was moist and cool
Potato vines yield two clusters of
tubers, one at the base of the vine
and another about three inches above
the base. Had this farmer planted his
seed in furrow eight inches deep +
and as the vines grew, hilled the soil /
around il so that ct maturity the tub
ers would be six inches beneath the /
surface, he would have had 100 sacks
of first class potatoes to the acre, in
stead of 90 sacks of inferior ones.
This applies to other crops and all !
