onions WAY Up; . !.
. !. PRICE SOARING

Onion are awaiting. The humble
vegetable is now costing in Honolulu
from two to three times what it usu-
ally does at this time of year and the
situation will not be relieved until the
crop makes its debut some time in
April. 49,. +,-.-...- e.. 49,. 49, Il I
II was learned today that the price
of onions is such that the modest little
vegetable is, almost in the class of a
luxury. The wholesale price is near
10 cents a pound and even the army
has had to pay for its March onion
supply more than twice the usual
price. In San Francisco the wholesale
price now is Sl3 a hundredweight
where with a fair crop $3.50 or 81 is
considered a good price. ~. r.. III,
Fred B. Buckley who, as chief clerk
Of the, commissary department, quar-
termaster's office, is an authority on
prices, said today the March supply of
onions for the troops on Oahu has cost
the army just cents pound. The
usual Honolulu price in March is 8 10
cents, G. Q. zee Hop & Company was
the lowest bidder. The next lowest
bids were II and II cents.
On the Oceanic liner Sonoma are
coming 81 tons of onions for Honolulu

JOHN ENA LOSES
Nine OLD SAILS

Rather than not arrive at San Fran.
cisco on the time nc had telegraphed
down before he left Nanaimo. Capt.
CIV. Olsen Of the American ship John
Ena. well known in Honolulu, having
. left here for Coniox, u. G., On January
., lost nine OF his sails lie arrived
on the dot -.
Seven days ago. says the Examin
er OF February Is. Olson wired Mayor
Rolph from Nana.mo that he would be
In port today. On Friday afternoon he
was more than eco miles north of here
and becalmed. Then there came a
rifle from the northwest and in a few
minutes gale was blowing fair astern
OF the great four.rnasted barque.
Capt. Olson held on. Not a sheet
or clew-Ifne was touched. Braces were
hauled to square away the yards and
the John Ena took up the challenge
OF the wind ami the sea. The 2S-seC +.
ond hour glass tolled off IA knots. .
Sails Carried Away .
Then the gale increased and bang
went the fore royal. Bang went the
main royal and bang went the mir
zen royal. Three sails gone. II was
blowing too hard to bend on fresh
canvas but the big vessel kept going at
uDdiminished speed.
The John Ena waved on the crest
OF q wave and showed too much sur.
face TO the wind ami the fore top-gaI.
lantsails, upper and lower, went out
with another bang.
Still Made II knots
Five sails gone and still making
steamer time. Again the vessel
waved and this lime tie mizsen top.
gallantsaiis went out into the dark.
ness with the smack of cannon
shot. Seven sails gone. Still making
better than IL knots.
The rnainmast was carrying most
of the strain by this time but not for
long. Upper and lower top-gallant
sails finally carried away and nine
sails had wracked their splits OF can.
vas out into the darkness.
Through 1t all Capt. Olson made
no sign Of discontinue. The lower
canvas was holding well and the ship
was keeping no steamer time. Yes,
terday morning the florswester Stacked
off the Heads and. some canvas was
bent on the lower top-galIant yards. 1
On arrival Olson said:
= made good my promise AS mat
ter Of fact the canvas was all old gum
mer stuff that i had In use during the
calm weather But | would hayei
cracked on II II had been new canvas,
just so as TO make good my promise.

the fern leaflets, or like leaflets
on a locust tree.
Wooden seed racks, in which the
ears are stored in rows on separ-
ate shelves, are convenient dryers,
and have no drawbacks in a dry,
breezy place, although the air can
not circulate freely on all sides
and dampness may be held where
the row of kernels rests on the
wood.
Only during unusually damp
weather at seed-gathering time
will fire be necessary to help the
drying. Yet if heat is applied in
poorly ventilated place, it will do
more harm than good. If used, the
fire should be slow and long-con-
tlnued. 1t should be below the
ears with plenty of good ventila-
ton above them.

CARE OF SEED CORN
1t Should Begin Immediately
After Gathering And Be
Continued Until The
Grain Is Planted

The same day that seed corn is
gathered from standing stalks as
they grow in the field the husked
ears should be put in a dry place
where there is a free circulation OF
air, and so placed that the ears do
not touch one another.
This is the only safe way, &C
cording to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which
says that much good seed has been
ruined because it was thought to
be dry enough when gathered.
Many farmers think that their
autumns are so dry that these pre-
cautions are not necessary, yet
there is no locality where the corn
will not be bettered by thorough
drying treatment. If corn is lett
in the husk it may sprout or MIL
dew during warm wet weather,
and it is more likely to become IN
tested with weevils.
Poor Storage Impairs Vitality
The vitality of seed may be re-
duced by leaving it in sack or IN
a pile for even a day after it has
been gathered. During warm tall
days, with some moisture in the
cobs and kernels, the ears heat or
mildew in a remarkably short time
The best and cheapest treatment
Immediately after the ears are
gathered and husked is to tie the
ears singly on binder twlne at
about 8-inch intervals, the tWlne
being looped about the middle OF
the ears so that they hang balanc-
ed and horizontal. Ordinary bin
