IMMIGRATION AND THE WEST

Referring again to the immigration
bill which has occupied SO much Of
the attention OF Congress and the
President at this session, it must
be admitted that the opening OF the
Panama Canal will bring the Pa
cific Coast and the adjacent West
ern and Intra Mountain States face
to face with new problems arising
from the influx OF thousands OF
aliens.
The North German Lloyd. the Ham
burg-American, and others OF the
great steamship lines will run their
ships direct from European ports to
the Pacific Coast 1t is quite nat
ural that the immigrants will land
at the first port OF cali, San Diego,
unless they are destined for Brit
fsh Columbia, and that from San
Diego they will be distributed to
points In California, Idaho, Oregon,
Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
During the. exposition year OF 1915
this tide Of travel will be Influenced
to some extent by the great display
Of worlds Industries at San Diego.
The States are getting ready TO
meet this question. 1t must be met.
The great West is anxious to receive
immigrants OF the sturdy type that

Modern science has long since ex
ploded the story of the Mummy wheat
which was purported to have been
found in the Egyptian pyramids and
to have grown after being entombed
over three thousand years. Investiga-
tions carried over period of many
years have established the fact that
wheat seldom retains its vitality for
more than a few years after its ma
turity. Of recent years, in the United
States, where agriculture has become
one of the dominant factors in our
national activities, the science OF seed
study has helped in the solution of
one of the many problems that con-
front the modern farmer. And so,
today, we find in seed testing and the
study of seed termination, a line of
investigation which is of vital inter-
est to the agriculturist.
The Chas. HI. Lilly Co.. who supply
seeds to the whole western part of the
United States, to Alaska, Honolulu,
China, Japan, and as far east as
Boston, have a seed testing laboratory

of a modern agriculturist college and

tories, is constantly at work examin-
ing samples of every shipment of seed
which is handled by this company.
When, for instance, carlod of
timothy seed arrives at their Seattle
plant, sample from every sack is
taken. The seed thus collected is
placed in sampler, a little piece of
machinery which whirls the seed
around, thoroughly mixes it, and
divides it into equal portions. This
process is repeated until small
sample is obtained from every sack
in the shipment. This sample is next
weighed upon scales which are SEN
sitive to the smallest seed and which
are kept under glass to prevent dust
from interfering with the accuracy of
the test. After weighing, the seed is
spread out on paper and examined
under microscopes. The whole lot is
carefully gone over. and dirt placed
in one pile each kind, foreign or
weed seed in pile, and the good
seed in another. Each pile is then
weighed and the exact purity of the
seed in the shipment thus determined.
If after this test the impurity Of the
seed is found to be over two per cent,
the lot is famed and screened and
the weed seed and dust removed. The
Pure Seed Law of the state Of Wash
ington, for instance, requires that red
clover seeds sold must be ninety-two
per cent pure, but none is shipped
under Lilly's Best brand, unless it is
ninety nine per cent pure.
After tests have been made in the
Lilly laboratory as to the purity OF
the seeds, they are examined as to
their vitality. This process is an in
teresting one The seeds are counted
into two patches of one hundred each.
They are then placed between dampen-
ed blotters and placed in the germi-
nator-a tank heated by electricity
which keeps the atmosphere as near
that of out doors at the time that the
seed being examined is to be planted,
as is possible. Thus vegetable seed
which is to be planted in the early
spring would be terminated at differ
ent temperatures than seed that is
planted in the summer months. Two
germinators are used-one which has
the temperature regulated to cor
respond to the temperature prevailing
at day time, and the other to the
temperature prevailing at night time.
the other of the germinators during a
number of days which is equal to the
normal growing period of the Seed
This varies from on an average of six
days for radishes, cabbages, lettuce,
beans and tomatoes, to twenty eight
days for Kentucky Blue Grass. After
the proper per iod of time has elapsed,
the blotters are taken out and the
seeds counted to find the number
that have terminated. This is re-
peated three times and note is made
of the number of seeds which did not
terminate, which rotted, and those
which are still hard. The hard seeds
are left in the germinator for longer
time to find il they will terminate.
Accurate percentages are then made

making the wreck unavoidable. We
at first thought that there was no Inn

ceeded lower anchor and sails, but
at $3.50 n. m. part of her keel came,
floating alongside and we proceeded
to lower the boats. We got what
stores were procurable and a few
gallons of water, sextant, chart and
chronometer. We had no sooner
pulled off with our boats till she,
commenced pounding heavily on the
rocks and breaking up. Later in the
night the pinnacle lamp exploded, but
caused no damage. t. i

next morning effected landing on
the other side of the island. A party
proceeded to look for water, and all
other hands went over to the wreck.
All that was left of the ship now was
the poop, this being thrown on the
high rocks. We waited for low tide
and then boarded the remains, getting
food, water and few tools to repair
our boats. Having been rested we
started preparing our boats for our
long journey to the Samoan islands.

conspicuous place we found a pyra-

Franklin Lee Whaley. Born In the

on his own behalf in Circuit Judge
Robinson's court this morning. Sit

Eight Companies from Sea-
coast Posts Pass in Review
Before Col. Rafferty,

The eight companies Of coast artil-
iety comprising the coast defenses Of
Oahu, concentrated this morning at
IFor De Russy for the first time
since the new organization Of the
coast artillery here went into effect.
Regulations prescribe that all the
companies making up coast defense
command assemble for review every
three months, the formation being
known as the quarterly assembly for
Infantry ceremonies.
The wide parade ground between
Fort De Russy and Kalakaua avenue
accommodated the provisional fegi-
ment. and the coast gunners swung
through the formations Of fregimental
review, escort to the colors, and regi-
mental parade in way that com.
pared favorably with the showing of
"doughboys" who go through the cere-
monies several times a month. In uni
formity of uniform and general smart
ness of appearance, the coast artil-
lerymen don't have to concede points

Colonel Wm. G. Rafferty,. coast de-
lenses commander, took the review,
attended by his staff, which includes
Captain Francis M. Hinkle, adiutant;
Captain George L. Hicks. Jr., quarter
Captain John S. Johnston, ar
tillery engineer, and Captain Freder-
lex Phisterer, ordnance officer.
The 68th, 18th, and 143rd companies
came from Fort Kamehameha to Ho-
nolulu on the mine planter Ringgold,
and marched to De Russy from the
Richards street wharf, returning to
the dock and re-embarking at the con-
cIusion of the ceremonies, so as to be
at their post In time for dinner. The
104th company marched from Fort
Armstrong, while the 55th, 105th and
159th companies made the hike from
Fort Ruger. The 10th company, sta
toned at Fort De Russy, was the only
that did not have to
make a strenuous hike in connection
with the review.
Major Coe, executive at Fort Kane
hameha, and Major Timberlake, exec
utiye at Fort Ruger, took their prop
er commands at the review, and the
several companies were commanded
