Honolulu, March 2I.-The raising

lulu harbor Since early Thursday has
been held up temporarily, while the
cables attached to the submerged
craft are tested.
Honolulu, March 26.-The lost
United States submarine F-4. which
has been located outside the harbor en-
trance, should be raised late this aft
ernoon if all goes well, according to a
statement made by Captain of the
Yard Duffy last night. Duffy says he
believes there is fighting chance to
save the lives of the men imprisoned
in the submarine on the ocean floor.
The dredger California, dispatched
from the Pearl harbor naval station in
response to radiogram, reached the
scene at midnight but did not begin
work Immediately. The dredger will

ter than win be pumped out of the
dredger causing her to rise higher in
the water, thus providing lifting pow

The Army Department hospital is in
readiness to receive the men of the
F-4 when the submarine is raised. Col

and equipment at the service of the
navy. The weather is fine. The bright
moonlight facilitated the work during
the night.
From soundings and divers deserip-
tlons OF the ocean bottom over which
the vessel must be drawn the reseuers
learned of sudden rise in the ocean
hoor nearly fifty feet high. This ridge
forms the lip of submarine crater in
which F-4 is believed to lie at a depth
of 500 feet.

THE USE OF CHEMICAL PLANT

subject OF weed eradication request is
made for remedy" by which term
the writers often have in mind a herhi-
eide or chemical plant poison that will
accomplish the destruction Of weeds
with little effort on their part. In
many OF these cases the use OF plant
poIsons is out OF the question, as the
weeds can he controlled much more
easily by some other method. II IS
we'll to define limitations as well as
to point the ADVANTAGES Of employing
these materials. Tho use Of chemical
plant poisons may be grouped under
the following headings:

weeds but do not injure the crop, such
as iron sulphate solution for killing

Considerable attention has been
given to applications for killing the
vegetation and sterilizing the soll.
This method is applicable to drive
ways, pathways. tennis courts. rail-
road rights OF way and similar situa-
tons. For the past five years experi-
ments have been made at Arlington
Farm to md the best material, the
best strength OF application. the best
time Of application and other points
The list OF materials used embraced
practically all that have been sus-
gested as being suitable for this pur-
pose, including the following: Arsen-
tie of soda: arsenate of soda: common
salt; fuel OIL Kerosene; gaso,ene.
crude petroleum: sulphuric acid; coal
tar creosote oil containing crude car
bolic acid); iron sulphate: caustic
soda; calcum chloride; sal soda. The
prices at which these materials could
be obtained were assigned in order
that they might be compared In cost
as well as In effect. These tests have
shown that Of all these materials
there are three which. at the prices
assigned are better than any OF the
others. namely, arsenite OF soda, COM
mon salt and fuel oil.
There are several points to be con-
sidered In selecting the best mate
rial among these three. The prices

mcrcial arsenite of soda. 25 cents a
pound; common salt, sl2 ton;

approximately the maximum prices
which the small purchaser would he
asked 70 pay. Under certain condi-
tions the consumer may find the price
Of one OF these substances relatively
lower than the others. For instance,
refuse salt can sometimes be obtained
at very low price. The character

Choire; broad leaved plants seem to

Of soda than by salt or oil. as com
pared with narrow leaved vegetation,
such as grass. Salt Is often ohtec-
tionahle when used on brick walks or
other conspicuous places on account
ot the white residue, which remains
for some time.
As TO the number Of applications re-
qured. It has been found that several
light applications are better than one
heavy one. This 10 partly due to the
fact that weed seeds IN the soil. which
are hut little affected by these treat
ments, germirate and produce a new
