Personal Surety Will Be Al

save shipbuilders from paying wha'
| they claim are exorbitant premiums
on surety bonds in connection with the
navy construction program, the navy
department has decided to inform al
prospective bidders for the constrnc
| ton OF the recently authorized ships
that the government will accept per.
sonal surety in place OF bonds under
written by corporate surety.
At conference between Acting Sec
rotary Roosevelt and the solicitor OF
the navy 1t was decided that the navy
has no right to refuse bonds backed
by personal securities offered by or
through the shiDbuilders provided they
are regarded as safe and of sufficient
quantity The shipbuilders will there
fore be informed the government is
willing TO accept any safe bond they
may offer to guarantee fulfilment of
contracts they accept, whether II is
backed by q bonding corporation or
personal securitiesein the form of prop
Result Of Complaints
The action of the navy department
was the result Of complaints on the
part Of shipbuilders that the surety
companies that would underwrite
their bonds are holding them up for
exorbitant rates. The decision, Off
Gals say. will enable the government
and builders TO save several hundred
thousand dollars that would be paid
out in bond premiums on the construc-
ton program.
Nearly $4,000, 900 is to be expend-
ed in the construction of ships under
the recent naval increase appropria-
ton. The policy of the government
since 1886 has been to demand Is
per cent bond Of all constructors to
guarantee fulfilment of the contracts
they undertake. Up to within the last
few years this bond was furnished by
surety companies at q reasonable fig.
ure. ...@s
Several years ago the bonding com.
panies changed the basis on which
the premium was calculated from the
actual sum of the bond to the entire
cost of the ship under construction,
raising the premium on some battle.
ships from $4,000 to nearly 100000.
The shipbuilders raised the plea.
that this charge was exorbitant and
that as II figured in the cost of con.
struction the high premium was ulti.
mately paid by the government. Cor
responjence lately received at the
Navy Department in connection with
the new building program made the
complaint that this premium figure
amounted to a holdup and asked navy
officials to devise some outlet through
which the constructors could avoid its
payment and so make a substantial
saving for the government.
This proposition was taken under

COLLEGE OF HAWAII, Oct. IT.
In view of the fact that the typical
Hawaiian boy has not had as good q
chance to be familiar with the meth
DDS of. modern scientific agriculture
as the mainland boy, the College OF
Hawaii is laying special stress on the
practical branch of the Agricultural
course.
OF the 60 acres of farm land adjoin-
ing the College of Hawaii, a portion
is now under cultivation, growing va
rious crops, both for experimental pur-
poses and as feed for the farm anil
mails. There still remain, however, a
number of acres which are covered
With algaroba, cactus and rock, the
latter constituting what is left of a
series of stone fences erected by the
original owners of the farm site to
mark off their premises. The work
of clearing this land is now in prog
ress, and in the course of the year it
is hoped that the entire area will be
available for working purposes. A
splendid road built of the rock gath
cred from the fields has recently been
constructed and affords access to the
fields and farm buildings from the
college experimental road.
Statistics Kept Carefully
Not only must the student Of agri-
culture have knowledge of farming
machinery, but also knowledge of
handling horses, cattle, swine and
poultry. From week to week the hogs
are weighed and the daily average
gain per hog or lot OF hogs is determ-
ined. The feed records. are consulted
and from the amount and cost of feed
consumed during the respective Pc
RODS the cost of one pound of gain is
determined. Similar observations are
made with the young colts and calves
under two years of age.
Other exercises consist in feeding,
grooming and milking the cows. The
feed records are then consulted and
the cost of one pound of milk per COW
is determined. The student Is requir-
ed to arrive at the horse barn at a.
m. on a certain morning, harness a
horse and cut the forage needed for
one day, using the horse-mower. At
another time he must harness a team
of horses and plough or sub-soil for
an afternoon period Some amusing
incidents have been noted among stu
dents unfamiliar with the handling of
horses II particular, but this only fur
Their emphasizes the need for practi-
cal instruction. The course Is. very
popular with the students, and II is a
great surprise to find boys who will
come to the milking shed at O'Clock

DECISION TOACCEPT BONDING PLAN

Amusement and il was decided that
since there was no Law specifically re,
curing the bond the department could
not refuse any sufficient and reason.
ably safe bond Offered. .. i.
Another fact brought out in cOnnec,
ton with the bonding OF ship contract,
ors In the construction program was
that no four bonding companies in the
United States are capable OF under.
riting even jointly the 10 per cent
bond that will be required on the. bat
tle-cruisers 10 be built. which will cost
$l6, 900. 600. The highest figure at
which the largest bonding company
can secure any one bond is 1855 .Sl7
according to the treasury departments
last quarterly statement.
Under these circumstances IL will be
necessary for as many as half dozen
companies TO secure some Of the bonds
that will be required. As the capital
and surplus of some of the strongest
of these companies does not exceed
the capital stock OF some of the ship
building companies navy officials have
decided they are taking no further
risk in accepting security offered by
the contractors themselves than they
would be in taking that of the bond.
ing companies. .=~.... T..
Officials express the belief the navy
is really taking no chances anyway
with the bidders who will be awarded
contracts for construction of the
ships. They are experienced firms
who know how to construct the craft
required and they have the capital
with which to carry ont any contracts
they may make. Besides the contracts
provide for seizure OF their plants by
the government in case of default and
none of. the construction price is paid
at any time beyond the cost of con-
struction TO the given date, SO that the
government would always have funds
with which to complete any unfinished
ship. - -..,-
Decision up to Department
In case any one firm should receive
contracts for building two or more of
the battle-cruisers it would be up to
the Navy Department to decide wheth.
er 1t would require a joint bond or
would accept individual security on

lars, and in case the government de-
manded a joint bond that would
amount to more than that additional
surety would have to be brought on
the market. Navy officials today de-
clared that was one point that had led
to the decision to accent personal Sc
curities if offered by prospective con.
tractors. III - .1..
The surety companies, it Is under
stood, are fighting vigorously for the
of corporate security of
the navy contracts. The builders con-
tend they used TO find some advantage
IN furnishing corporate security when
II was offered at a lower rate. Unless
the bond companies offer them an ap
lower premium they declare
they will furnish the security them
selves.

For such crops as need irrigation
there is an experiment calling for the
determination OF the number of inches

number Of gallons per minute given
off for various openings OF the valve.
The water for this purpose very han
Oily comes from Manoa stream, on the

There are periods spent In planting
crops of the different kinds required.
such as alfalfa, sudan, ube cane, COW

the most modern devices in the line
of farm machinery in sowing the. seed.
A card index system is kept of all

expense Of each plot is computed, TAX
ing into account all the items of cost
for labor, material, stock used, ETC.,
as compared with the final disposition
of the matured crop, whether 1t be

In general, this branch of the course
aims to give the Hawaiian boy a
thorough knowledge of the handling
of agricultural implements and live.
stock. Naturally the largest amount
of time by far is consumed in the lee
ture and recitation rooms, but actual
experience gained in the hot sun is
hardly the least important part of the
course. The possibilities of building
up in Manoa valley one of the most
efficient agricultural departments OF
any college in the world are declared
almost limitless, and as yet the pro-
ject is in its infancy. The fact that
it is possible to experiment with crops
for II months of the year is a big fac
tor in favor of the college, and stu
dents from the mainland who care to
take advanced courses can find no
more ideal climate or soil anywhere
for tropical crops as well as for tenn
perate crops. -
