1.-THE farmers of France are in far
worse condition than perhaps you
know. They have literally lost every
thing except their souls. After the

animals. no trees, no crOps-nothing.

SUBMARINES AND SOIL FERTILITY
How the War Affects the Farmers Ability to Produce
Bumper Crops.

The grip OF the scourge of the seas
is now, after months of warfare, felt
by the American farmer. When the
Lusitania went down the whole world
shiyered with horror-horror at the
very savagery of the deed, yet few of
us realized at the time that within
comparatively short time the entire
world would, in one way or another. be
at the mercy of these newest and most
savage of all implements Of war. Least
Of all did the American farmer realize
that the submarine menace would have
any effect whatever on his ability TO
raise crops and do his bit in the line
Of food production.
But 1t has The war itself in its
earliest day cut off supplies of potash.
Now the submarine warfare has re-
duced the supply of Spanish pyrites
from which sulphuric acid is made.
This sulphuric acid is used in the
manufacture of acid phosphate. and
also in the making of complete fer
tilizers. Without It raw rock phos

FARM POULTRY IN WINTER

Many farmers make the mistake Of fail
ing to provide their fowls with fresh all
in winter. as well as light and sunshine
In order to supply the first il is best to
use the open style OF house, and shut out
all drafts. The sunshine and light may
be supplied by equipping the house with
windows in at least one side. so construct
ed that the rays Of light might penetrate
the building al its very corners.
If the house is opened on the south side
there will pssibly be no need Of windows
as this will afford sufficient light and
sunshine. in addition to the fresh air. to
supply all the needs Of the birds.
Where these are not provided. and the
fowls are compelled 20 seek them in the
open amid the barren trees, the fountain
Of eggs will surely be frozen up and you.
not the hens, will be the loser.
# possible, in addition to the regular
quarters, build a good scratch shed ad-
joining the coop. Keep the floor well
covered with good light straw. and into
this throw all the grain food given the
chickens. This method compels the birds
to take the much needed exercise that is
an important factor in the production Of
other thing that mustbe reckoned with.
and in your fight 10 keep down lice pro-
vide the hens with a good dust bath they
may have a part inthe battle to get rid
of the lice Hens Ike to battle as well as
humans but are compelled to rely upon
the breeders to supply the bath.
Dust is TO the hen what water is to
the human. and it should be constantly
supplied for best results. Have a regu-
lar time each morning and evening for
feeding, and then feed on time. Hens
become accustomed to eating at regular
state dtimes and unless they are fed reg
llarly, they cannot be expected to lay

Domestic Pyrites Help.
But this doesn't mean that We shall
nave no fertilizer. All over the conn
try there are small domestic deposits
OF pyrites. These can be and are be-
ing manufactured into sulphuric acid
for fertilizer use and II looks rs
though there win be enough. But the
freight trade on these domestic pyrites
is higher than that Of Spanish pyrites
and the quality often lower. The cost
OF labor in mining is always higher.
ana the cost Of handling greater.
Ihese facts mean inevitably an in

and many materials now used in fer
ulizers could not be included.
Pyrltes Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast of Spain, this side
Of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter-
Fanean freighters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
At these places the pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later On, ton for ton
this acid is mixed with rock phosphate,
and in this way the acid phosphate Of
commerce iE produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood, bone and tankage Of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production of the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production of a
sufficient supply of food crops.
Some Of these Mediterranean
freighters have been commandeered |
by the government, others have been |
sent down by the dreaded submarine, |
and still others are tied up in neutral |
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma

Use HIoh.orade FertIII1er,

With fertilizers high priced and
scarce this year, It is more important
than ever to use high-grade rather than
grade goods. Plant food always
costs the consumer more in low-grade

argument for high quallty-less freight

amount Of actual plant food.

however, this increase in cost Is more
than balanced by the increase in price
which the farmer receives for his crop.
Were this not the case, the American

lowing games were played during the
week: Caleb Burns defeated Aston;
Aiken defeated Penhallow; Townsley
defeated Crawford; Zabriskei defeated
Murray; Bevins defeated COwan; RE
tow defeated Bento, and Engle defeat,

BUSINESS SECTION

Indications that Hilo will eventually
attain distinction as a city of progress
siveness are to be found in the in
creased building activity of recent
months. ..... .-
The erection of a large concrete
structure for the Hilo Emporium, sit
uate at the corner of Front and Kala.
kaua Streets was completed Saturday
last, and will be occupied this week.
The building is modern, structure,
one-story, and built, on the latest APP

4 Adjacent to this building, on Front
Street, work is now proceeding on q
two-story concrete Office building for
Chinese interest, 1t is expected that
this building will be ready for occupa.
ton the latter part Of November.
To cope with the increased business
in automobile repairing, the Won Hamm.
Young Co., Hilo branch, is having
erected a. show room and repair shop
on, Kinoole Street. Work on this
building has been in the contractor :
hands for the past month, and should
be completed within two weeks.
The purchase by the Hilo Mercan.
tile of the site now occupied by the
Volcano Stables & Transportation Co,
Ltd, neeessitates the latter firm a new
home. The contract for this work was
given to Charles H. Will. Foundations
were laid last week, and the building
is to be hurried to an early compile
ton!
Plans and specifications are now be-
ing made for an up-tO-date apartment
house on Kamehameha Avenue The
idea of such building was proposed
by +. c. S. Crabbe, broker and com
mission agent, who purposed to float a
building syndicate in Hilo. 1t is to
be built on the same principle as
apartment houses on the Coast, with
the addition of spacious theater at
the rear.
1t is the intention of this syndicate
to father building operations in Hilo.
When the apartment house is comPlet'
ed, which will be toward the latter
part of 1918, it is proposed to make
additions TO both the residential and
business quarters of the city as the

THE ADVERTISERS sEM-WERKlY
The Root OF Crime

NNE OF the forceful and convincing Statements
~ made in the recent prohibition campaign in
Iowa, concluded with dry victory last week, was
from the pen OF former Judge William II. Nc
Henry Judge McHenry bases his opinion OF
booze upon fifteen years experience as jurist in
Polk County, Iowa.
OF the thousand men that he sent to peniten-
tiaries and jails for criminal offenses, Judge Nc
Henry estimates ninety percent were led into
crime by drink obtained in saloons. He estimates
the same percentage applies to the causes for
divorces .tt E-.#
These figures from the local district court cab
be duplicated in practically very court in the land,
says the Capital, OF Des Moines, in publishing the
letter
In April Of this year the grand jury OF Phadel-
phia made the following reference to the liquor
evil in a report to the judge on the bench
We find that ninety percent Of the inmates Of Moya
mensing prison there through drink, and than
eighty percent Of the 67l6 in the general hos
pital and almShouses are attributable to the same
cause. .s...f,t
Another bit OF testimony along the same line is
taken from report of the Massachusetts bureau
OF labor as follows:
In other words SAL percent of all the 266T2 crimes
were due incorporate habits and eighty-twO per-
cent were committed while the criminal was under
the influence of liquor. s.ss..a ls# &a..
In further support of the statistical estimates by
Judge McHenry we have the statement OF Gov
crnor Glenn, of North Carolina, in which he says:
after thirty years experience as an attorney
and prosecuting officer in the courts, am firmly
of the opinion that sixty percent of crime is direct
iy the result OF strong drink, and ninety percent
is indirectly caused by drink. "'..
Innumerable quotations like the above might be
cited in support OF the contention that liquor leads
to crime These are familiar, arguments. Iowa,
says the Capital, is acquainted with them. The
people of this State have had the experience with
the two conditions of society, one with and one
without egalized liquor traffic. There is ques-
lion but what if every man could be placed on
record that the saloon would be showed under by
storm of negative opinion. ...

GERMAN SALMON ARE e..
~ INTRODUCED IN THAMES

,. LONDON, October l0--(Associated
ss)-Some good things come from
Germany, and one of them is the Ger,
man salmon, which is now being bred
on a large scale in the Thames and has
the advantage of being non-migratory,
At least it is non migratory in its
native waters, but il may change its
habit here, as happened with the Eng
fish and American brook trout which
were planted in New Zealand. In Eng,
lish waters the brook trout is never
migratory, but in New Zealand they
rapidly developed into confirmed sea
royeTs, and have now become fine and
healthy race OF sea trout, affording ex-
eellent sport and attaining unusual size,
