TRACTORS USED FOR
FLOWING IN HAWAII.
Number Grows From Three
in 1912 to lO4 in 1917.

Honolulu. H. 1.-The use of tractors
for blowing sugar plantation land in
Hawaii has increased from three
tractor engines in use in 1912 to 104 in
1917. Previously they were looked
upon with distrust, but today are be-
coming almost Indispensable in plan
tation field work
Flowing was the first use to which
these engines were put. For this pur-
pose they replace mules to advantage
under practically all conditions. For
furrowing a small engine is used. or
two plows may be attached to one en-
CINE. Cane has been cultivated with
tractor engines successfully on one
plantation. For this work ten plows
are pulled at one time, thus cultivat-
ing five rows per trip. A capacity Of
II acres per day has been recorded.
Hauling wagons of cane to the mill
is common use for tractors in the
district of kohala, Island of Hawaii.
Loads of fifty tons per trip are not
unusual. For hauling cane cars over
portable tracks tractors have been
used during the last two years. The
engine straddles the track, which
holds fifteen to twenty carloads of
cane at one time. The important fac
tor in this method is the absolute
control of the load on steep grades,
going either up or down. Cane load
ers are being fitted to tractor engines
on several plantations.

Water POUer LatUs

MILFORD, Pa. Nov. 12.--Mr. Eu-
gene Lorton. Editor The World,
Tulsa, Okla. Dear Mr. Lorton.
The great war in which our nation
! is engaged will be won not alone by
| food and men, but by mechanical
power as we'll Without mechanical
| power we could not make or move
the weapons with which we fight
guns, ammunition. ships, and sup
plies. our national resources Of
| power, whether from coal, oil or
water power. are national war neces-
sites. We need them to win the war.
In this gigantic struggle our secur-
/ ity requires us to use all these ereat
! resources, and to use them wisely
{ md well. The people OF the United
States own some fifty million unde-
Neloped water horse power, or about
enough to run every train, trolley,
! factory mill, mine, and electric power
plant we have.
! For ten years the friends OF conser-
vation have urged the development
| OF public wGterpowor In the public
held back by little group of water
power magnates and their friends in
congress who have blocked all legis-
nation which would not give them
these valuable properties forever and
for nothing.
Today. when the nation needs all
It's resources, the same men who
have ben blocking reasonable water
power legislation own and and are
holding millions OF water horse power
| undeveloped and out of use while
clamoring for more.
The time has come when such OBJ
| struction threatens the nations safe
ty and success We need the devel-
opment OF these powers in war even
more than In peace. At the coming
session OF congress sound watt rpower
war measure. based upon principles
fair to all sides. These principles
believe to be briefly as follows:
The thing to do with waterpower
is to develop II. Whatever retards Of
restricts the development of public
water powers on terms fair to tho
public Is against the public policy and
histile TO the general welfare.
Waterpower belongs to the people.
The sites wherc it is produced should
always be held in public hands. for
only so can effective control In the
general interest be secured
Where public development Is not
desired, The right to use waterpower
sites should be leased for periods long
enough to permit sound. attractive.
and profitable investment. but never
longer than fifty years. At the end
of each lease all rights should re-
turn to the people who gave them.
In order to protect the consumer
against extortion rates. and service
should be regulated by federal au-
thcrity when state and local authori-
ties fail to do so.
Reasonably prompt and complete
development and continuous opera
tion subject to market conditions,
should be required. Already millions
of water horsepower are held out Of
use to further monopoly by private
corporations.

preme test OF the nation has come
We must all speak. act and serve to-
gether." Sincerely yours. Clifford
