.KEOKEA SCHOOL,
MAUI, NOW AFTER
ANOTHER Prize

Makena P. o., Keokea School, Maui.
Jan. IL, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: W.. pupils OF the Kaokea
school through our writer wish to in.
form you that we desire to enter the
Contest
We have flower beds. We sent
flowers to the First Mani County Fair
and won the second prize and as the
flowers and trees were put together
under one class so the trees got the
first prize and the flowers Sot the
second prize.
In December, 1916, We had our
ground prepared for planting 1t was
Il fl. by SO IT. We worked two hours
a week and so it took us a whole
month to clear the plot. When we
started to clear it, the ground was
covered with thick manienie grass. 1t
was a hard work, for the roots of the
grass were deep in the ground, how
ever, We oyercame this difficulty.
Then we dug the ground to clear up
what roots left. Posts were secured
from some Of our peach trees, poultry
wire fl. high and $50 #. long was
furnished by the teacher and we en-
closed our ground. We did this in
order to keep the chickens away
from destroying our plants.
Before we closed for the Christmas
Mr.. Bowman, our vocational instruc-
tor, visited us and gave us some pack
ages OF seeds, which we sowed in our
i'll,
peas, cabbages and turnips. There
were other seeds of our own,-lettuce,
cucumbers, onions and beets. These
were also sowed The radish grew
up nicely and showed the best of all.
We took chance in watering and in
caring the plants. Some Of the seeds
did not grow at all. Before our school
closed our plants we're looking fine,
but to our great disappointment when
we came back this term all our plants
were destroyed by cut worms and
Kona storms.
The cut worms are caterpillers
whose color of the back is almost
black and whose belly is white. At
day time they bury themselves in the
dirt around the plants. -
The only best way we learned Of
destroying them is to use a kind of
poison called Paris Green. This is
mixed with flour and sprinkled over
the ground. So when the worms come
out at night to eat the plants they
eat the poison and are killed. We
didn't use the poison because we
We're away and so the plants We're
destroyed. ....> =. =. +. a. 49,
The Kona wind blew off the dirt
and even the tiny plants and the Kona
rains which always followed the wind
washed away what plants left or GOV.
cred them with dirt. However,tfor
the week ending January 9Th we clear
the garden again and planted some
Hawaiian onions. For the week end
ing January 18th we broke up new
garden 10 #. by 90 it. On Wednesday
the 10th we had a Kona storm which
buried our onions deep in the ground.
Then on Friday the same week we
soWed some OF our government seeds
which were cucnmbers, beets, turnips,
lettuce and cabbages.,

nearly three feet in length and weighs

though after it has been fed for while
on the dainties that Tom deals OF
with a generous hand to his pets. 1t will
probably round out and show what a
real sea salmon can do in making a
handsome appearance.
Another addition to the museum liv-
ing family is a more cunning and at
ira ctive chap, a male bird of the COW
bird variety. He was picked up dur
ing the early part of the coolest morn
ing of last week in front of the Opera
House by Joseph Roy, one of the
State House employees. He was almost
frozen and helpless. Mr.. Roy covered
him up and took him along with him to
the State HOUSE and there turned him
over to Mr.. James for mounting and
adding to the collection of Maine
birds. But Mr.. Cow Bird absolutely
refused to join the list of dead ones
and soon began TO show signs of life
and activity. Mr.. James placed him in
cage and fed him and by Saturday
he had become tame enough to eat out
OF his hand. Mr.. James will keep the
COW bird until spring and plans then to
offer it its liberty (which it will prob
ably accept.
