INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch Off Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy of Plants to Formation
and Ripening of Fruit.

The yield and quality of many veg
etableS can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds. thus
throwing the energy of the plants TO
the formation and ripening of fruit.
With muSkmelons and ~cantalOupes L
always pinch off the center bud of the
main vine when 1t reaches n length OF
four or five feet, says a writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in a like manner
Such treatment results in increased
size of the fruit anf u Fastening Of
maturity. For the same reason the
ends of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched Off when they reach a height
of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed TO develop. all
side shoots being plnched off as soon
M they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by n stake four
feet In height.
When the vines reach the top OF the
stake the center bud Is plnched out.
This stops height growth and throws
nil the energy OF the vine 10 the de-
veloping md ripening OF fruit already
set. BY following this method | have
obtained rs high rs 30 fine, perfect
tomatoes from n slagie plant.

TRIES GUN PLAY,
HIMSELF SHOT
Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence)
HILO, June 1.-OnCe again has a
Filipino used a gun in an attempt to
kill a man and this time it is to be
reported that the gunman himself was
shot and wounded after he had tried
to shoot police officer. The Filipino
is an employe of Ookala plantation
and the officer whose life was at
tempted is Joe Amos. The shooting
took place on Monday last and II
caused a sensation in the district.
1t appears that the Filipino, Glenn
ente, was chasing a dog around one OF
the camps and was firing revolver
at it. The noise attracted the atten-
ton of the police officer and he made
his way to the camp. He, upon see
ing what the Filipino was doing, called
upon him to stop shooting. The man
replied by firing four shots at the dog
and then turned the gun on the officer
and fired at him. The bullet went wide
and the officer replied with a shot
that hit the Filipino in the fleshv
part of the thigh. The man then ran
into a cane field and disappeared from
sight.
The police later on caught the man
along the Hamakua line and he was
taken to the hospital to have his
wound dressed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Sit
was formally announced by the fed
eral reserve board here last night that
a survey of the business conditions
throughout the country showed that
conditions are most healthy. The
economies which have been brought
about by the war are being felt in
many sections Of the land, 1t was said,
but that these economies have not
seriously interfered with business.
The board also issued a warning to
all banks to watch gold shipments
out of the country. This warning, 1t
was announced, was issued at the re-
quest of the state department, which
has learned that the German agents
in the Latin-American countries are
seeking American funds in order to
secure money with which to foment
trouble in those countries The board
therefore calls upon all bankers and
banks in the United States to guard
all shipments OF gold abroad most
carefully.
