on the days work.
irrigated Crop Work
For such crops as need irrigation
there is an experiment calling for the
determination of the number Of inches
per acre of water applied from the IT.
rigation pipe, figuring this from the
number of gallons per minute given
off for various openings of the valve.
The water for this purpose very ham
Oily comes from Manoa stream, on the
outer edge of the college farm.
There are periods spent in planting
crops of the different kinds required,
such as alfalfa, sudan, ube cane, COW
peas, etc. Here, too, use is made OF
the most modern devices In the line
of farm machinery in sowing the seed.
A card index system is kept of all
the fields being worked, and the exact
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 It be
sold or used for feed.
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 ~ months of the year is 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.

COLLEGE OF HAWAII. Oct. IL
In view of the fact that the typical
Hawaiian boy has not had as good 9
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, portion
is now under cultivation, growing va
rious crops, both for experimental pur
poses and as feed for the farm AMI
mails. There still remain, however, a
number Of acres which are covered
With algaroba. cactus and rock, the
latter constituting what is left Of q
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 1t
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 a 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 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 In particular, but this only fur

cal instruction. The course is very

none of the construction price is paid

In case any one firm should receive

the Navy Department to decide wheth.

would accept individual security on

all bonding companies together on any
one bond is less than five million dol |
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 I

clared that was one point that had led
to the decision to accept personal Sc

New Castle 50. Somerset $1.S5, and
Ragland so cents.
The prices which have prevailed
since last spring were the highest
ever paid in this section and were
due to the unprecedented demand
for refined oil. much Of which was
for export. No explanation accom-
panied the new prices except that
eastern and mid-continent oils had
been reduced within the last few
weeks.
