SPECIAL RULES FOR PRUNING
Weak-Growina Varieties May Be
Trimmed oenerously-Rich, Deep
Soils Favor Growth.

(By PROF U. p. HEDRICK, Geneva
Experiment Stauon)
In pruning for wood the following
rules are usually applicable; Weak
growing varieties may always be
pruned generously strong-growing
kinds lightly; varieties which branch
freely need little pruning, those hay
ing unbranching limbs should be
pruned more severely; rich, deep soils
favor growth, prune trees in such
soils lightly; in shallow, sandy soils
trees produce short shoots, and the
wood should DO closely cut.

VISITOR URGES

STREET LIGHTS
And Eliminate Petty Politics, "
Says H. ]. Whitley at Com
merCiaI Club Luncheon

H. j. Whitley OF Los Angeles be-
lieves that the people of Honolulu can
afford to spend money for better
looking electric lights on the streets.
He believes that this city has a
great many possibilities for beautify,
ing, and the people Of all classes can
afford to spend the money to secure
the development of such features. Mr..
Whitley believes that the leaders of
the sugar industry should cooperate
with the people of smaller means to
gain such Improvement for the city,
because, he says, the sugar men and
the men of large means need the as
sistance and cooperation of the small
Ter men Just as much as the small men
need money and sugar.
Eliminate Small Politics.
Mr.. Whitley believes that people OF
the city of Honolulu should get to-
gether for the elimination Of petty
small factional politics and work to-
gether for the upbuilding of the city
as whole. He says this will pay.
This and much more that was in
teresting and instructive was includ-
ed in the talk made by Mr.. Whitley
at the Commercial Club luncheon this
noon. He told of the construction Of
concrete roads in the city of Los An.
geles and in the state of California.
He believes in a city bonding itself
for improvements, and seeing that the
money is spent properly.
A round of applause greeted Mr..
Whitley's remarks when he said that
the people of Honolulu should support
the Great Northern steamship enter
prise, as it was bringing to the city
just what the city needs. There was
also distinct enthusiasm when he urg.
ed his hearers, who included the city
engineer and the mayor of the city,
to cut out petty politics and strive
for the best results for the city as
wholes

Eva Plantation Said to Be Spe-
ciaI Gamer; Level of ArteSian
Water is Raised

Though the heavy rains of the last
month have in many localities seri0us
ly damaged standing cane, have In
some cases washed out whole fields
and though the excess of moisture Is
expected to result In some deteriora.
ton of the juices in this years crop,
the total damage will probably be far
exceeded by the immense benefits
which will be derived from the rains,
and which will total large round fig.

The mountains are full Of water,
and stream flows which in the past
have proved inadequate for proper IT.
rigation in some districts will prob
ably be ample all during the next sea-
son. Natures storage reservoirs are
filled as never before by the deep
soaking of the ground, for though the
floods were excessive only minor
portion of the precipitation found its
way to the sea in surface flows.
Eva plantation, say local men, Is q
good illustration of how the cane in
dustry viii benefit from the rains.
When artesian water was first foun3
there the level was about SIG feet
above mean sea level Pumping for
irrigation for many years has gradual
Iy lowered this level until three
months ago it has registered total
loss of about IS feet, and stood only
about 13 feet above sea level.
Water Level 10 Rising.
On Monday of this week, say re-
ports from the plantations, the arte-
sian water level had reached the high
est point in years, having gained IL
or Ia feet, and being then only about
five feet below the original level OF
3I.6.
Another benefit to Eva has been
the washing of all the deleterions
salts from the soil. The Eva artesian
flow is slightly brackish, and this
water flooded over the cane fields
for years, and quickly evaporated by
the sun, has left an alkiline deposit
which, however small In each year,
has presented growing problem.
This problem the drenching rain has
solved, by dissolving and washing
away in surface flows all the salts.
and greatly freshening the soil.
The raising of the artesian level
has also lessened the brackishness OF
the water which will be pumped for
the next year or two, besides giving
the new immense reserve supply.
Other plantations, 1t Is said, have
been benefited similarly from the big
rains

ABOUT SAILING

|, A mail dispatch to the Star-BulIe-
tin Saturday from its Hilo correspond
lent, telling of a recent meeting here
between Capt. Mosher, pilot at Hilo,
and his old friend of windjamming
days, Capt. Creelman, whom he had
Dot seen in many years, today led
Capt. John r. Macaulay, one of the
territorial pilots in Honolulu, to take
exception to a phrase in the story
which said the two talked until the
Oahu pilots began to think they did
not know much about the real deep
sea" ~
This phrase naturally grieved Capt.
Maeaulay, who has followed the deep
sea for several decades and sailed
over the deepest oceans the round
globe possesses before he became a
pilot here.

man and were both sailing at the

and from Melbourne to San Francisco.
Later I joined the North American,
which had a figurehead on the bow
of an American Indian with toma-

that the former district attorney is not
trying to defeat the confirmation of
Chief Justice Robertson or Circuit
Judge Whitney, as reported yesterday.
"As matter of fact, while McCarn
did not recommend Judge Robertson,
he spoke highly of him in Washing

the split between McCarn and Justice
Quarles," said this man. Il am sure
that McCarn is not trying to defeat

He was also of the opinion that Nc

been so explicit that thee department
