NinoIe, Hawaii, Feb lG, 1917
Editor Honolulu St2r-Bulletin.
Dear Sir. ! beg to report OF what
has been done in the garden since
the 18th Of January 1917.
January %, prepared more garden
beds. Dug the soil and prepared them
ready TO be assigned to each pupil.
On January 2G. had the garden meas.
ured for the purpose OF having a plan
OF the garden drawn showing each
plot, bed and what was and is to be
planted on each plot and bed. Made
eight more beds, on the Iower tract
and after preparing them for plant
ing had them assigned. Each one was
given a bei and each one took charge
Of his or her bed and began TO plant
the seeds which they had chosen.
Great interest was shown az each one
tried 10 make his or her bed look as
neat as possible.
Some taro plants we're planted
alongside the road which had been left
on the Hamakua side Of the beds.
On this date four members dropped
eff as they claimed that their par.
ents forbid them from working in the
garden titus leaving IL members to
carry on the work of the garden.
On January 30, pictures of the gar
den were taken OF which i have sent
you sometime last week. ...,.
February /, prepared plot No. 6 for
planting corn. Tie corn was planted
q few days after and ever since we
have had very dry weather checking
the growth Of our plants in the gar
den.
On February and 8, different kinds
OF sweet potatoes were planted in the
lower tract.
From February 10 up TO date we
have been looking after the beans that
had been planted Sticks were put up
IN each to have the beans climb as
we have plot planted 10 climbing
cranberry beans
During the two weeks of February
We did not do much planting as the
weather had been too dry to plant.
Many OF the plants found growing dur
ing these two weeks had to be watered
otherwise they would die for lack of
water and we hope that this dry spell
does not last for II II does we fear that
the plants win wither away as many
OF them are already showing signs

swelled the proletariat, dissolute, idle,
diseased and unpatriotic. With such
citizens for the backbone of her
armies, Rome could no longer with
stand the rush Of the Northern bar
barians.
England, also, found that she had
made mistake in crushing out her
peasant farmers by importing grains
and her after-the'war policy will be to
break up the great estates and restore
the small, independent landowner.
The United States needs a land
policy. Our resources have been so
great that we thought there was land
enough for all, and, for years our pub
lie land did act as an economic shock
absorber. But that day is past. Our
farms are constantly grayitating into
the hands Of fewer and fewer men,
our rural population is rapidly drift
ing into the cities, and we shall slowly
but surely go the way of Rome and
England unless we foresee our peril
and intelligently prepare against it.
The Oklahoman riots are merely a
symptom which show diseased con-
dition in the social body, symptom
which it will be very dangerous to
misinterpret or to disregard.

The submarine situation is not en-
couraging to either side. The Ger
mans who candidly face the facts find
that the rate Of tonnage destruction
is too low and the British who are
equally candid find that the rate is too
high. Both sides measure the rate Of
destruction in relation to their own
powers of endurance in. keeping the
whole war u,) to concert pitch. If the
Germans can hold out long enough at
home, the U-boat will in time win the
war for them, provided that no new
discoveries or inventions afe brought
to bear upon the equation. Last weeks
shipping losses by the British were
somewhat depressing because they
proved apparently the impossibility
under present conditions, of perman-
emily keeping the destruction down to
the low level of the weeks immediate
~ preceding. The Germans are main
tanning monthly average that. cannot
be made good by new ship construction
fora long time to come. The race now
resembles that Of two horses which
pass under the wire so exhausted that
both drop dead from the strain.

Refrain: Companions in arms,
The SilO.

More and better livestock on the
farm can be materially emphasized by
the construction of a silo. The silO is
of especial advantage in northern Min
nesota. In case of early frost the
corn can be cut Immediately and be
put into the silo. In such a case the
food value of the corn is entirely pre-
served while frosted corn fed as shock
corn is very materially lessened il,in
food value. The silo also is of mater
ial value in helping to bridge over a
dry spell during the summer when
pastures are short. Silage can easily
be preserved for summer feeding.
More feed can also be grown in the
form of corn and fed as silage than in
any other form.
There are many kinds of silos, all Of
which are good and will pay good re-
turns on the investment. If one is not
familiar with the advantages and
workings of a silo, a trip taken to one
Of his neighbors will readily convince
him of possibilities of this money max
ing devise on the farm. If sufficient
capital is not available for the con-
struction of silo, the banker as a
rule is willing to lend the necessary
assistance as he knows that it will
pay. If the farmer has no corn to put
into silo this year he ought to be
getting ready for good field of corn
and silo next year.

A Pound of Honey.

When you eat a spoonful of honey,
you have very little idea as to the
amount Of work and travel necessary
to produce it. To make a pound of
clover honey, bees must take the nee
tar from sixty-two thousand clover
blossoms and to do this requires two
million seven hundred and fifty thou
sand visits to the blossoms by the bees,
In other words, in order to collect
enough nectar to make one pound Of
honey, a bee must go from hive to
flower and back again two million
seven hundred and fifty thousand
times. Then, when you think how far
these bees sometimes fly in search of
these clover fields often one or two
miles distant from the hive, you will
begin to get a small idea Of the num-
Der Of miles one of the Industrious lit
tie creatures must travel in order that
you may have a pound Of honey
