Ne Complaints Made to LegiS-
Iative Party That Visits the
Leper Settlement
By +. j. Bolts

lative Party,l

y
Through the darkness of coming
morning the eye of the Kalaupapa
lighthouse blinked-and blinked; and
as the sun crept UP over Molokai the
bells in the little churches her7lded
the birth of a new Easter morn-snd
the populace of Molokai came down
TO the shore to welcome the legisia-
tors, their guests for the day.
On such a day 1000 and more years
ego Lazarus begged crumbs aud was
stunned by those who came. But yes
terday the dwellers on Molekai were
greeted and asked for nothing. They
were greeted. and they greeted their
visitors with songs and aloEas of vel
come, as they stood on the shore
waiting for the first boat to land from
the Claudine, which was anchored in
midhartor.
Thirty legislators, members of both
houses. and fifteen friends and repre-
sentatives OF the press were taken OF
the little boa's to become the guest
of Superintendent J. D. McVeigh and
his colony. 1t was the occasion of
the biennial visit OF the committees
on health of the two houses, who

OF the afflicted any complaints he may

No COMPLAINTS Made.
And while it was still early in the
morning, and while the bells still
tolled tie Easter message. the leg;sia-
tors stood on the lanai of tho Bald
win home. and in speeches of good
will they asked IL any complaints were

that gathered around the lauhala
trees rose the voiee OF an old man.

first time within the history OF its
SUPPORT by the terri tory that almost
countless complaints have not been
made on the occasion of the lawmak-
ers' visit to the settlement. On the last
visit two hours were consumed in lis
tening to the criticism of the dwellers.
Yesterday that time was taken up by

from the regular current expenses OF
the colony, that is all that is asked
this year. To be sure something was
said about jail, but it was not SER
iously urged.
Plenty of Room for Inhabitants.
1t may be that it is because leprosy
is on the decrease that the conditions
are improving at Molokai, and in
place of it being overcrowded, as at
one time, for instance. few years
ago when there were 1900 patients
in the settlement, there is plenty of
room and time for each one. The fig
rres, which had been posted by Super
intendent McVeigl for the information
of the guests showed that there are
621 lepers on the island, 3S1 of whom
are males. OF these numbers there
are 517 Hawaiians, almost equally d.
yided between male and female.
Brother Dutton, or Father Dutton
as he is as well known now, was smil-
ing when the visitors arrived at ka-
lawao, and led by W. o. Smith, the
guests rushed to greet the man who

On the mainland and abroad that the
father was dead
"Ah, no-not yet dead" he smiled.
MY time is not yet
A pause; then:
"You know ! haven't time to die
so much work here-so much work
here for me to da."
The Mystery Touched
AS he talked he ran his hand over
a high stack of mail.
$50 much work that | haven't ans
wered these yet-or these from an old
sweetheart" he added, wistfully,
touching three or four letters tied to-
gether by ribbon.
An hour later the party had said
goodbye to Father Dutton, a luau was
served under the canopy of the home
of the superintendent, and the report
that Mr. McVeigh is an adept at pre-
pairing luau was shown to be true.
After it was over, and toasts had been
drunk to him and his pretty little
secretary who assisted him in the
preparations, the guests made their
in. front of the building.
1t was three o'clock when the
whistle of the Claudine sounded, and
a few minutes later the legislators
were making their way to the ship,
and in their ears were ringing the
wonderfully optimistic:
well see you in two years."
AS the Claudine made her smooth
way into the Honolulu harbor at
eight o'clock last night, DR.. J. T.
Wayson. whose work among the
afflicted is too well known to need
mention, exclaimed:

LABOR ACT TO STAY "
ON STATUTE BOOKS

The bill which was introduced in
the senate sometime ago by Senator
Coke, S. B. ., which was an act to re-
peal the statute relating to the Undue
ing of laborers to leave their employ
ment, will not leave the senate.
This fact became known when the
judiciary committee reported that Sen
ator Coke's measure be- indefinitely
postponed. No objection was made by
its author to this proceeding, and it is
understood he will not attempt to re-
store it to life.
The committee in it's report stated
that the subject matter of the act had
been thoroughly gone into at the last
session of the legislature and it saw
no change in present conditions to
warrant action different from ifat
taken two years ago. II.

THREE CROPS IN ONE YEAR
Peas, Potatoes and Celery Follow Each
Other and Profitable Return
Made From Acre.
CBy J. H. HAYNES. Indiana)

We planted an acre in early peas
on warm, rich soil. Rows were 5s
feet apart and peas drilled In WIZ an
Allen seed drill.
They were we'll cultivated anu all
brushed When we began picking tne
peas, about the 5th of June, the space
between the rows was opened anu
early Ohio potatoes planted, eacn mn
being treated with some Well-rotIeu
manure.
BY the time the peas were all plckeo
the potatoes were breaking through
the ground. The pea vines and orusn
were removed and the potatoes re-
ceived attention. They grew raploly
and were kept in fine growing condl-
tion.
During the growing of the peas anu
potatoes we had beds Of transplanteu
celery plants ready to be removed
and as soon as the potatoes were lald
by and killed these celery plants were
put in the burrows made in hlillng
the potatoes.
When the potatoes we're dug IN Au'
gust we began hilling up the celery
BY fall we had as fine lot OF celery
as could be wished for, and this crop
was banked in before frosts came anu
gave us good prices through the win
ter
The bed was covered with dry for
est leaves and these sheltered from
rain and snow by temporary board
shelters.
This piece of land thus gave US
three good crops from early April I'LL
fall
The peas we're sold in early mar
kets at $3.50 per bushel The potatoes
were for home use and seed, and the
celery sold in market at good prices
On another 11s-acre tract that had
been we'll enriched we planted early
sweet corn 31s feet by 31s feet apart.
When the corn was two feet high we
planted between each hin stocky
transplanted tomato plant.
From then on the hoe was kept go
ing to push both corn and tomato.
The shade of the corn had fine ef-
feet on the tomato vines when these
began to ripen and the vines kept
dark green and the sun did not scald
the ripening tomatoes as it did In the
open field.
The corn brought 10 to Is cents per
dozen ears and the tomatoes were sold
to the cannery at seven dollars per
ton.
This 1k acre netted us over slOO.
With we'll enriched land and good cul-
uvation there should be no failure to
make double cropping pay.
Every year we do this and have had
fine crops.
But remember one must hustle
when he undertakes it.

VALUABLE IN CROP ROTATION
Lespedeza, or Japan Glover, Attracts
Much Attention In the South
Hay of High Quality.

A leguminous crop that has attract
ed much attention, more especially in
the south, is lespedeza, or Japan cio-
yer. This plant has spread all over
the south during the past half CEN
tury, being found generally along road
sides and In waste places. The usual
method of utilization has been as sum-
mer pasture, but in some sections 1t is
cut f-r hay. Recently the department
of agriculture has found that num-
her of farmers have found Japan clo-
yer valuable in crop rotation. Special
attention has been given to the expert
ence of these farmers, and it has been
found that the crop is eminently
adapted to rotation farming where
the soil Is suitable and thai 1t pro-
duces hay of high quality. A farmers
bulletin. No. AL, on this subject has
been issued by the department, and
may be had upon application to the sec
retary of agriculture.

INCUBATION OF SOIL
Medium Red Clover Will Develop
NoduIes in Abundance.
After Lands Have Been Brought Into
Fairly Good Condition of Fertility
Rotation Will Maintain HUI
mus and Nitrogen.
(By J. F. SEIVERS0

Since the ability OF leguminous
plants to supply themselves with nit
rogen depends on the action OF GER
tain bacteria, it is necessary that the
proper bacteria exist in the soil in or
der that they may attack the roots or
the developed seedlings and produce
nodules. Ordinarily, medium red or
alsike clover will develop nodules IN
abundance, on soils containing much
sand Alfalfa and many other le-
gumes, however, often fail to develop
the proper nodules or develop them
only to a certain limited extent until
they have been grown on the same
piece of ground for three or four years.
1t is frequently desirable, therefore,
to inoculate the soil with the proper
bacteria. Ordinarily this is best done
by the distribution over the ground OF
soil on which the corresponding
legumes have been grown for some
time and on which they have shown
a good development of nodules. The
rate of development Of nodules on
the land so treated will, of course
depend on the amount of inoculatins
soil and the thoroughness Of its mix
ture through the ground. Where such
inoculating soil is readily access
ible with only the cost of short haul,
1t is best to use 1000 to 1000 pounds

who are sure something will come OF
it Foreign missionaries are the ones
who believe in foreign peoples. Work
ers among immigrants find 1t hard to
be patient with men who sneer at
the ''wops" and "dagos," and others.
Arm-chair critics can dismiss foreign

People who are at it are sure 1t can

Here Is a young man spending his
whole life in Christian work in cor
leges He sees student life from the
inside. He has been in several state
universities. In one Of them there
was a meeting of 5000 students, and
800 started out to follow Christ. In
another were held four meetings, aver
aging a thousand each. This young
man writes, There is no question in
my mind of decided improvement in
the moral and religious life Of Amer
ican students" Improvement? What
does he mean? Does he not know
that students are losing their faith
and their morals and their character!
Does he not realize that faculties are
in league with the forces Of evil?
OR is it possible that our friends who
nave been saying so have the disad-
vantage of not knowing anything
about it? Is 1t possible that they are
thinking of few instances, and have
missed the real current? At any rate,
this man who is at the task seems
much encouraged about 1t.
One Source of Weakness.
OF course, one must take into &C
count the story Of Phillips Brooks,
who would not agree that church at
rendance WAS falling off because
everywhere he went he found such
large congregations This man whom
we have quoted is the kind Of man to
whom students would make response.
That In itself Is suggestive fact,
however. Perhaps the weakness OF
the religious situation in our schools
lis that we have not frankly handled
1t. Probably if we had paid no more
heed to the biological elements in our
educational institutions than we have
ito the religious, we would be the
aaughlng-stock Of Europe We get In
our colleges Just about what we go
after, and when the educational lead
,ers are ready to give heed to the
religious phases of universities and
colleges they will find the students
ready. If they take the matter light
lly, the students will do so.
There are great many good men
who cannot teach chemistry with any
inspiration. A chemical department of
"a college under the guidance Of one
.of those men Is lost before it begins.
The religious department, its Bible
lstudy, its Christian training, is lost
also If 1t falls into the hands Of a
man with no inspiration, and without
the power Of leadership. There is
nothing occult or mysterious about 1t.
I'VE can have keen, strong religious
life in our colleges and universities
lust as soon as we want it. More and
more we are wanting it, and wherever
I'VE want it intelligently we are find

students respond.
Meanwhile it is people who are

The advantages of piowing under a
crop of red clover on sandy soils is
shown by this corn, the yield being
increased nearly so per cent. where
clover sod was turned under the
previous year for green manure.
per acre Where, however, it must be
shipped in, half of these quantities
will produce fair development when
the soil is kept in moist condition.
When other legumes, such as COW
peas and soy beans are to be grown.
1t may often be better to use the
quantity of soil which can be secured
on a small plat on which the CORE
spending crop can be grown for two
or three years until this plat has be-
come thoroughly inoculated and can
be used for inoculating other land
adjoining or in the neighborhood.
The use of a small amount Of al
falfa seed mixed with clover seed will
pave the way for alfalfa later by CIV
ing a few plants on the field start
so that the alfalfa bacteria can de.
velop.
1t Is possible to develop the bacteria
in question in other substances than
soil and distribute them either by mix
ing with the seed or by sowing on the
land separately. Attempts to do this
have been made and firms are adver.
tisinS such material. So far however,
the best results have been secured by
the use Of soil as above described.
1t must be distinctly remembered
that while the leguminous plants are
able to gather their nitrogen from the
air that they require other elements
such as magnesium for their growth
as we'll as do all other plants. Indeed.
these leguminous plants are among
the most active feeders on phosphor.
us, potassium, and calcium. and to Sc.
cure good growth it is necessary to
supply these elements in some form.
