FAST PACE OF BUSY TOWN
limo Passes In an Incredible Manner
and Nobody Ever Has Spare
Minute.

A young boy eloquently dilating
on the delights of the small town in
which he lived, the baseball games,
fishing, drives, picnics, etc., was in
terrupted by his listener, who asked
curiously:
"But what do you do with your
self in the evening in a place of
that sort, where there are no the
alters or amusements of any kindY '
why" answered the youth, 81
stand around in the drug store on
the corner talking to a lot Of fell
lows, and, all of a sudden, I ask
What time is it?' And what do you
think' It's twelve o'clock Time
passes just like that. Never saw
anything like it. Gone before you
know It. Nobody ever has a spare
minute"

We have found popcorn very
profitable crop, and while we
never have kept an accurate
record of the yield per acre, it
sells for such good price, that it
will return more clear profit than
field-corn.
There are two varieties of pop
corn, the golden or yellow and
what is known as the "rice," the lat
ter being small of grain and almost
white. Both are heavy producers,
although the yellow a little out
yields the rice. On the other
hand, some claim that the rice va
riety is of better quality. We
raise both, and find each of them
satisfactory.
We plant popcorn considerably
thicker than field-corn, about three
grains to the hill, the hills being
only about 2 feet apart. From
an inch to an inch and a half is
quite deep enough to cover it.
Where much of a patch is planted,
it should be drilled, setting the
plates to drop the grains about s
inches apart. If intended for cul-
tivation by implements, the rows
are feet wide; if for hand tend
ing. they need be only 2 feet wide.
The popcorn is tended much
the same as 6eld-corn, being very
careful to keep the weeds down
we'll and roll a little moist dirt to
the plants at the first cultivation
After it is laid by, we sometimes
sow a second crop between the
rows, such as millet for roughage,
turnips, or drill common corn in
thick for fodder. We also utilize
the stalks of popcorn for fodder,
cutting just as the grains begin to
glaze, and shocking the same as
with the field-corn.
AS soon as the fodder is suffici-
GENTLY cured (or the husks on the
standing corn turn Yellow the pop
corn is husked out and thoroughly
dried before stored away. If put
away while there is considerable
moisture, even in the cob, the
quality of the product will be
lowered. After thorough curing,
it is stored away where the mice
cannot reach it, as they are very
fond of it, and soon will waste a
large amount of it. We have
found that the best time to dis
pose of popcorn is during holt
days-or rather just before them
as this is a season at which time
there always is a big demand for
it. We supply it to private Gus
toners in the city, where it sells
for two to three cents per pound.
Nothing is more encouraging to
the boys and girls than to give
them small plot of ground for a
patch of popcorn for their very
OWN. G.

SALES And NEWS ITEMS.

In Lincoln county a large num-
Der of fat hogs were killed by the
heat while being driven to market
along the roads. They had been
sold at s cents per pound.
Practically all the lambs of this
county have been sold and mostsof
them delivered. They brought
good prices, selling at from 6 to
Z cents per pound.
Corn is looking fine and from
reports from various sections of
the country, the outlook is for a
bumper crop. In some sections
the corn has been hurt by the
drouth, but this will not hold
good as a general proposition.
The tobacco outlook is very poor
in nearly all sections and it is not
believed That the acreage will
reach 60 per cent. While it is
true that in some sections there has
been little of the tobacco topped,
as a whole the outlook is very dis.
couraging to tobacco people
While the State Department claims
that there is 80 per cent acreage,
and an 80 per cent condition,
such a statement seems ridiculous
to one who has travelled all over
the Burley belt. There is no ar
gument over the question. rain
can come, or not, there will be a
shortage in tobacco just the same,
and none but a chump can see it
any other way.
The hay crop is being harvested
this week and while it looks quite
well, with indications of a heavy
yield, and the indications are that
the price will be much lower than
last year. Clover is not much,
but the oats crop and wheat seems
to be in pretty good shape.
In Nicholas county Henry Bros.
sold to Thomas G. Asbury, a car !
load of hogs which weighed very |
heavy and were sold for the high |
price of 81 cents per pound.
w. B. Greene bought in Clark
county 500 lambs for which he
paid 81 cents per pound.
Clay Jones, of Stepstone, sold
70 j. K. Carmichael, a nice horse
for $3.50.
John Maxev sold to Joseph
Ray a sow and pigs for S35.
@. B. Reid bought this week a
OF of corn at So per barrel, from
clay Jones.
Wheat in Bath county is making
IN excellent yield, from 20 to 301
bushels per acre, and is readily
selling at 80 cents per bushel. -

Mr.. Taft is dealing wisely and pa
triotically with the Mexican crisis, de-
clares the New York World. Tt is the
duty of every honest man to uphold the
President s hands. This is no time for
lingo demonstrations in behalf of
American financial interests. If the
United States is compelled to send its
army into Mexico to conquer peace, the
World fears that that army will never
be withdrawn. But no other disaster
that now threatens this country is com
parable with the conquest of Mexico.
Here is population of 100000,
more than seventy-fve percent of which
is illiterate, and an equally large per
cent of which could never be absorbed
;nto our civilization. These people
have no understanding of American in
situations, and for generations to come
could not be governed under American
institutions. We should have Mexi

FOR WEDDING Of
INLAND WATERS
Plans to Join Honolulu Harbor
and KaIihi Bay Rapidly
Progressing.

With the announcement of an ap.
preparation by congress of $4,000 for
the survey of a 600-foot channel to
connect Honolulu harbor with kalihi
bay, it is made plain that the federal
government has not buried the original
plans for increasing the capacity of
the harbor and so making ready for
the opening of the. Panama Canal.
The 600-foot channel as a connect
ing link between Honolulu harbor and
Kailhi bay was planned some years
ago. when the work of dredging the
present harbor was undertaken by the
government. At that time the mate
rial dredged was undertaken by the
government. At that time the material
dredged from the harbor was used to
ill in lands Eva of the harbor owned
by private parties, who in return for
the land so given them. conceded the
government a right of way 600 feet
wide for the proposed ship channel.
But it has been ascertained, even
should the channel be made, the Ter
ritory will not have foot of land
either on Kalihi bay or on the channel
for wharf sites inasmuch as all the
land is owned by corporations or indi-
viduals.
To offset this, negotiations were be.
gun by the harbor commission months
ago, it is understood, whereby it was
proposed that owners of channel and
Kalihi bay frontage, give the Territory
every other lot to be used for building
government wharves. 1t was pointed
out that as the property would be
greatly enhanced in value by the build
| Of -bnr h,,t
err that the owners of land created fol-
them by the federal government should
be willing to make this concession
Nothing has been heard of the progress
of the negotiations for months, but
now that the federal government ha.
again evinced its interest in the
tiations will be renewed.
According to the plans, as first pre-
pared, slips were to be cut in along
each side of the channel to a deptl
which would permit of the bigges
liners tying up at the wharves, ant
giving them plenty of room in whicl
to get out and turn their noses sea
ward.
There is some dredging yet remain
ing to be done in Honolulu harbor il
order to develop its extreme lines, an,
after this work is completed, it is sal
to be the intention of the government
to move the quarantine wharf bac
from its present location to a poin
,, close to the entrance of the propose
channel.
The development of Kaihi bay as
harbor, it is said, will mean much t
the federal government with its pre-
posed big army post at Fort Shafte
Q and there is another project for til
cutting of a channel from Kalihi ba
to the entrance of Pearl harbor so pr,
viding an inland waterway betwee
r Honolulu and the naval station.
