appointment when we arrived. The
committee was on the wharf with its
little American flags, and ii was a
nice-looking committee, but 1t was as
mum rs clam. When / asked one of
them for information as to how to get
my baggage. from San Pedro to Los
Angeles, he knew no more than the
wharf itself. An old man, whom took
to be watchman on the dock, showed
myself and others the way to the
street car, ami while the committee
was having q Little prost in the cap
tain's cabin the passengers were busy
getting transportation to the city of
Los Angeles.
On one of my visits to Los Angeles
with the Shriners when I was finan-
cial and business manager of the boys
and had the bills and accounts to look
after, paid for one of our island boys
a bill ut the Lankershim hotel of some
four dollars for board and lodging, and
when presented the same upon my
return to Honolulu and found out that
he had not stayed at the hotel, wrote
them to that effect. They still owe
me that amount So far as / am in
formed, Honolulu does not do bust
ness in that manner.
Yours for Hawaii,

The Pulaskian's Weekly Crop Review

Synopsis of weather and crop con- ditions in Arkansas for the week end ing October 3, 1916:
 Showers occurred the fore part of the week in most portions of the state, which kept the soil in good condition for seeding, and the dry weather that followed in connection with the frost that occurred the last of the week caused most of the re- maining closed cotton bolls to open, a number of correspondents reporting about all of the cotton open. Corn is being gathered, oats seeding con- tinues and little wheat is being sown, the weather being favorable for these operations. Rice is nearly all harvested and is being threshed as rapidly as possible. In the Weiner district late rice was injured by frost, and the rice is breaking down, the

LIE DUNSCOMB'S
 SUDDEN DEATH
WELL-kNoWN SURVEYOR WAS RETURNING FROM TREASURE HUNT WHEN GUN WAS AcCi-
 DENTAELY DISCHARGED.

Lee Dunscomb. aged 45, we'll known surveyor, was accidentally killed Monday night near the Twelfth street pike west of Little Rock
 Mrs. Dunseomb said at the inquest that they left their home at $500 West twelfth, to hunt for treasure of $30,000 a fortune teller had told them was buried in the woods near by MT. Dunscomb insisted upon talk ing his rife. Returning from an un- availing search for the treasure, the rifle was discharged by being struck by the limb of tree. He was hold ing the gun between his knees and the bullet struck him near the heart.
 Their son, Carruth and Mrs. Bar rett, neighbor, were with them, but had started for Mrs. Barretts house just before the accident occurred They came back when they heard the shot. Garruth fired the other shot in the gun to attract attention An au- tomobilist stopped and Dunscomb, accompanied by his wife and son, was brought to the Little Rock Sani- tarium, about 3 D. m, where the phy- sician found he was dead.

D|yERSIF|CATION
 ON BIC PLANTATION
WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY ]. R. ALEXANDER, NEAR SCoTT'S-ONLY HALF IN
 COTTON.


 J. R. Alexander. who owns a 5000 acre plantation near Seott's, practices diyersification, and forces his tenants to do so.
 No tenant is permitted to plant more than half his land to cotton. Half must be planted in corn, and this Mir Alexander purchases from the crop per. At first the tenants objected viz. orously, but now they are converted, for they have seen the benefits of this system. They have found that by TO- tation of crops, the fertility of the soil is maintained and that they can raise more cotton on an acre of the rich Alexander plantation than they could on two acres of land that had been planted to cotton year after year
 Ninety-three negro families live on the Alexander plantation, and a party that visited the place recently com mented on the happy, prosperous ap- pearance of the negroes, Nor is this merely due to the fact that the price of cotton happens to be high this year The Alexander tenants are always happy and prosperous.

KISS BUTTER

NOW TAKE OUT THE BUTTER FAT, AND BALANCE IS FED TO HOGS-BUTTER-
 MILK IS MANUFACTURED.

One by one the traditions of the farm go glimmering, and now 1t IS buttermilk, the old standby, that goes by the board. With the passing Of buttermilk we crown new king, MT. Fifty Cent Butter.
 Always a trip to the country has been accompanied by dreams of but termilk, nice and cool and sometimes partaken of from jug. Modern dreams must be revised or some real substitute found for the new regal of the lacteal fluid, for there just "ain't goin' to be no more' buttermilk.
 The villain. in this drama of rural life is the separator. For years the farmers of the North have been using separator, and for some time there have been isolated cases in Arkansas, but until the Southwestern Supply Company put out speciality men. push ing the Sharples machine, it's use was not general. Now almost every regu- lated dairy, whether it has one COW or hundred. uses the separator. The dairymen, particularly those re. siding some distance from the city, use the separator, for 1t strips the milk of every vestige of butter fat, and if they do not manufacture but ter from 1t, they can sell the sour cream as well as the sweet, thus avoid- ing daily trip to market. The sep arator also removes all impurities. Many of the farmers who have been churning milk, cream and all are now using the separators, and feeding the residue. after separation, to the hogs, the warm milk being fattening to them.

County Fair Comment
 By c SMALL Secretary
EXHIBIT OF GROWING CROPS AT
 COUNTY FAIR.
By JOHN c. SMALL. Secretary

Farmers who visit the County Fair this year will have the opportunity of seeing in actual growth the plants which are recommended for winter crops and fall gardens, a demonstra- tion plat having been arranged by County Demonstration Agents Geo. G. Pye and Geo. K. Lowe.
 One section is devoted to corn and cowpeas and corn and soy beans In some of the rows commercial fertil- izer is used, on some barnyard ma nure has been applied and on other ject being to show the effect of fer tilizer or manure and the difference is plainly visible in the size and con- dition of the plants.
 Another section is devoted to crim- son and sweet clover, a portion of the ground being lined, portion both lined and fertilized and another left untreated. On part of this plot cul- lures were used to inoculate the soil, which treatment has produced fine stand. Where the ground was not in- oculated the stand of crimson clover is comparatively thin.
 One of the facts brought out by this demonstration is that wheat comes to much better stand sown in drills than when sown broadcast and with the use of less seed. There are rows of oats, vetch, barley and rye, all rec commended as winter cover crops for this section.
 Bermuda and clover planted togeth- CT are covering the ground with their green foliage, indicating what the Pulaski county farmer may do with his pasture and meadow lands in the fall and winter months.
 An interesting experiment has been worked out in the planting of small plot of bur clover. A. D. McNair, the government agriculturist, recently ad- yocated the boiling of bur clover seed before planting. On this plot MT. Pye and MT. Lowe planted part of the seed without boiling and a part the new way. To MT. McNair's credit it can be said that the boiled seed have produced decidedly the best stand.
 County Agent Pye, who is an ex- perienced truck grower, has model fall garden, in which he has planted long list of vegetable crops, such as turnips, onions, etc, and on this plat he is working out some fertilizer and lime experiments similar to those car ried on with field crops.
 This little demonstration farm is located inside Forest Park, just north of the main exhibit building, on soil similar to that found in most of the hill section of Pulaski county. The small plots are arranged with walks between and each row of crops bears a card 10 indicate the nature of the experiment.
 During the past summer great deal has been written and said aoout the planting of fall gardens and win ter cover crops. Here the farmer will have a graphic illustration of how these crops thrive under local condi- lions and the various methods Of planting. fertilizing and cultivating.
