,~ .PGpsikou. Hawaii, March -, 1917.
Editor Honolulu. Star.Bulletin. -
Sir: Much time this week was
spent fertiiizing our vegetables. The
weather was just right for such work.
When fertilizing the plants, We open a
little furTow close to the row of plants.
One boy ruts the fertilizer in the row.
Another cores behind him and fills
the furrow' with soil He then softens
the ground and puts some soil close
TO the plants. We find that this is a
gccd way Of fertilizing vegetables. The
rain will not be able to wash the fer
tilizer away. Il
Two more beds were laid out. We
planted cbard in these beds. These
plants are growing well. Our radishes
are ready for eating. We have sold
some already.
