SEED TIME
County Anrieultorest, Beatty tells
how to prepare seed and soil.

: Now is the time to prepare
your ground for the Fall seeding,
or in case you are unable to seed
this Fall, for Spring seeding.
Early Fall seeding on well pre-.
paredJground is the best for this
country. But owing to the lack
Of moisture the seeding will have
TO be done late this Fall or early
next Spring. Late Fall seeding
is preferable to Spring seeding
in most cases.
I, Get at work as soon as possibls
so that you will be ready to seed
when the conditions are favor
able. Double disk your ground
SO as to cut up all stubble and
trash and make a mulch. This
puts your ground in ideal condi-
ton for plowing as it breaks up
the hard top surface and when it
is plowed it fits closely in the
bottom Of the furrow uniting the
two layers Of soil. This elimi-
mates the air space and prevents
loss Of moisture. plow your
ground either a little shallower
or deeper than it was plowed last
time. If you have been blowing
eight inches deep plow seven, or
if you have been blowing five |
inches plow six this time, This /
VARYING of the depth of plowing
the forming of a plow
sole and allows the roots and
to penetrate the soil.
Follow the plow the same day
with a harrow as the soil breaks
up finer at that time and does not
bake. Harrow once or twice
more before seeding.
Run your wheat or barley seed
through the tanning mill so as to
rec the seed from smut balls and
imall weak grains. Treat it a
'ew days before seeing, not more
hen three days as it is liable
o become infected again. Treat
t with tormaldehyde. one pint to
orty gallons of water and let it
oak ten minutes. stirring the
rain while soaking is sure
nethod of killing all smut germs.
eed from 45 to 60 lbs. of seed to 5
he acre but do not seed until !
here is sflicient moisture to bring r
ne seed up. Do not seed too
eep but just deep enough so all
ne seed is covered. Spring seed
,g should be a little deeper. :

WOOD SAYS HAWAIYS BUILDING
BEATS MOST STATE STRUCTURES

their tour of investigation Third
What system of social entertainment
do they have. In practically every in
stance the commissioners at the diff
ferent state buildings have large funds
lat their disposal. varying from fifty
thousand to two hundred thousand dol
lars which are used by them in get
ting up dinners, lunches and special
hanquets which are generally served

structed for that purpose.
F.. You we're quite right in your state
ment that there is no other state
building on the grounds which has sc
much to offer the visitor in the way
of entertainment as the Hawaii build.
ing Consequently, there is no other
one building on the grounds that is SO
popular and we'll patroniZed as the
Hawaii building. All of the state build
ings have been built with the idea
of representing some one building in
the state to which they belong and
are attractive from that standpoint.
For instance, the Virginia building is,
in part, replica of Mount Vernon,
George Washington's home. The Ore.
gon building is made attractive by its
huge supports made from trunks of

SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM
IN THE TREATMENT OF DIABETES

A number of medical writer's agree
that Opium (Codein1 is their, only
agent to reduce sugar in Diabetes.
But, due to its inhibitions, it cannot
be given in large doses or long enough
and failure is the rule. We announce
to physicians that Fulton's Diabetic
Compound is more definite in its &C.
ton on the sugar of Diabetes than
Opium, is without it's faults and has
this distinct advantage does not
suppress but assimilates the sugar,
and containing no dangerous or habit
forming constituents can be given in
sufficient doses and for sufficient
time to get physiological results, viz:
absorption of the sugar in many cases.
This gives the physician free hand
to aid as his judgment suggests.
There is no conflict. In people over
fifty the disappearance of the sugar is
commonly followed by the gradual
elimination of the thirst, weakness
and painful symptoms, recoveries be-
ing reported in many cases as nat
ural consequence. Substance of for
mula surrounds bottle. Thoroughly
digested and assimilated. No cumula-
tive or after effects. Honolulu Drug

WHAT GOVERNOR
REALLY Said in
SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco Papers Show
He Referred to War Raising
Sugar Prices Temporarily

when Governor Pinkham talked or
the coast about sugar he should have
added that the high prices are TEN
porary condition brought on by the
war; said a well-known broker to the
Star-Bulletin the other day. He re
ferred to the governors utterances in
San Francisco as meaSerly reported
by wireless and to the morning papers
resultant attacks on the territorial
executive. ..- ~...... -...
The Star-Bulletin has secured three
separate accounts of the governors
brief interview in three newspapers
the Examiner, Chronicle and Call. In
the Examiner the following was pub
lished: .>.'. .... III
Governor Pinkham spoke of the
recent visit of the congressional
party to the islands While adj
hitting there are many important
matters-financial, military and
social-confronting the Hawaiian
islands, and which need the care
full consideration of the federal
government, he declined to discuss
/ them in detail. -. 81 =.
Governor Pinkham said the SUI
F gar crop of the islands would be
larger this year than ever before.
He said, that in his judgment, the
recent depression in sugar was
due more to oyer-production and
not to any change made in the tar
iff regulations. l.. ..a.. ,.
Sugar" he continued, sis al
ways a delicate subject for one
coming from the Hawaiian islands
to talk about. Il think that the fix
ing of a sugar tariff should be in
the hands of scientific experts and
not body of politicians"
The Chronicle reporter wrote the fol.
lowing:
Il do not see why the planters
have any complaint to make" said
Governor Pinkham, when asked
for statement on the sugar sit
uation which the congressional
party investigated in trip to the
islands last month.
Sugar is selling at an abnor-
mally high price at the present
time and the people who own SUI
gar SIOChS are HdhuuS 81 IuuCh
money they do not know what to
do with it, AS to what the future
will be, with the cessation of the
European war, no one can tell, but
| never did believe in crossing
bridges until / came to them.
That, | think, is what the planters
should do now"
The Calls version was:
Governor Pinkham declared that
commercial conditions on the isl
ands were all that could be ex-
pected at present, and said that
the sugar tariff proposition was
not pressing one. He further ex-
pressed his confidence that Con-
gress at the next session would
give Hawaii such remedy as the
islands required for their greatest
industry. II:
1t will be noticed that the governor
referred to the wars Influence on SUI
gar prices and also to possible action
by Congress to suspend the operation
Of free sugar. .@*..- . .~...
