The boys are planting. watering and

The weather is favorable With con.
slant showers. Our water supply Ia
good. We have a pipe which leads
TO the garden and the water Is stored
in big box like reservoir. A ditch
connects this reservoir to another
wooden box further down. The boys
dip water out from these boxes and
carry ii to the plants. A hose Is
sometimes connected u the pipe and
the boys water the plants with the
hose.
Once duck went into the garden
and spoiled some fine lettuce and

We're disappointed because your last

his taro patches and his famous tun-

OF this class have made many useful
things for the school, They have

things also. but as time flies ] can

TROUBLES
II insect pests appear It may be pos.

II too many appear TO make this pos.
sible a letter should be Immediately
written to the United States expert
ment station, Honolulu, enclosing one
or two OF the dead insects or worms.
II any plant disease appears on the

should also be sent in to the expert,
ment station. Il Is sometimes pos.
sibie TO prepare a spray that will kill
both the insects and the plant disease

planted in the home garden plot it Is
important that II be fenced to keep
out animals. II may be desirable to
drive in lot of stakes two or three
feet high. making a small enclosure
around the potato plants to make sure
nothing will injure them.
HARVESTING
As soon as the vines die down the
tubers cease TO make further growth
and should be dug. All the potatoes,
no matter how small, should be saved,
as they will all figure N the weight.
Care should be taken not to injure the
potatoes when they are being dug.
As soon as dug they should be stored
In q cool. dark place until they can be
taken or sent to the United States ex-
pertinent station at Honolulu II is
planned to furnish each contestant
with cloth bag for use In sending tho
potatoes in for weighing.
CONDITIONS or CONTEST
One Of the conditions of the contest
is that the United States experiment
station shall be allowed to purchase
at least one-half of each lot Of potatoes
produced. For these they will pay
well above the market price. They
will also buy the other half of the
seed II the owner wishes to sell, but IL
is suggested that the other half be
kept to plant larger patch and tc
supply few to tire immediate neigh
bors for planting. In this way the
stock Of this potato will be spread
rapidly throughout the islands and ali
those interested can soon have seed
potato stock for planting. IL not con
venient to bring the potatoes to the
experiment station they may be
railed by parcel post or may be left
at the Star-Bullet;n office. Be snre
to have your name and address and
Also the name OF yopr school on the
