STACK FlRST-THEN THRESH

The councils of defense throughout
the country are making a special effort
TO induce farmers to stack their grain
this year before threshing. The coun-
ellis realize that the reason that farm
ers have resorted generally to shock
threshing is the shortage of farm
labor. At the same time it is be
lieyed that through the vigorous cam
paign that is being carried on farmers
will make a special effort to stack
their grain.
1t is declared that grains should
have an opportunity to go through a
sweat before being threshed. If
grains are not left for a period of time
in barn or stack to go through the
natural sweating, the kernal will soon

STUDENTS LECTURE ON SOUTH
AMERICA

julius Lokkesmoe and Arthur Rholl
from Red Wing Seminary, Red Wing,
Mimi, gave an interesting lecture on
South America at the Norwegian
Lutheran church in Hendricks We'd
nesday evening of last week.
They had been out travelling for
about seven weeks going through Min
~nesota, Iowa and South Dakota.
Lokkesmoe will teach in the Com
mercial Department of the Seminary
next year and Rholl will study theol-
ogy at the Lutheran Seminary at St.
Paul.
The lecture together with the illus
trations, was instructive az we'll as in
teresting, and gave a good impression
of the conditions and the of
that country. 1t was stated that a
wrong conception is held concerning
the size of South America. 1t has
1876, 900 square miles and is nearly as
large as North America with it's area
of 1853. 900 square miles.
The United States could be placed
on Brazil and still enough room would
be left for Germany and Portugal.
South America is a rich country.
Gold, silver, copper and iron ore is
found extensively and large quantities
Of oil and nitrates are found there.
These natural aid greatly in
carrying on the different kinds Of work
They also help in furthering the cause
Of Missions, which have been created
in this promising country. Or. John
Thompson, from England. was among
the first Missionaries to South America.

Moist grain will start to heat and
duce the viability and quality. II the
grain becomes musty, its feeding value
is injured, and the decrease in energy

Who Is Responsible?

That discipline was at a low ebb in the nationa
guard camp just ended at Kawailoa is the state
ment from several sources. In particular 1t Is de
clared that gambling was in progress night anc
day, indulgence in crapshooting being among the
main activities of number of companies.
Under such circumstances it is not to be wonder
ed at that there were ''roughhouses and nearriots
The blame for this is put largely upon the Fiipinos
but the real responsibility rests those who failed
to establish and maintain ordinary military dis
cipline ...-..
That the last last week of the camp was frittered
away is one of the declarations which are dscredit
ing much of the good work which the guard has IN
doubtedly accomplished in the past It is asserted
for instance that the fine program laid out with the
Endorsement of regular army officers was not follow
ed and that entirely too much attention was paid
to "show" AS result, under the surface there is
keen dissatisfaction which results in the talk OF
wholesale resignation of officers.
The identity of the responsible person or persons
the exact spot on which the blame should fall
has not been publicly stated, but it is patent that
the criticism centers around AdjtGen. johnson. IT
the situation even approximates what it is repre-
scented to have been at Kawailoa there ought to be
a ventilation of the facts.
Hawaii has supported it's national guard with a
contribution of funds, public and private, which is
probably unexappled in its generosity. Because the
national guard here felt to fill need ; because
every opportunity was to be given the organization
to fulfill it's PURPOSE, many blunders of detail many
incidents of jealousy and friction passed over
lightly and the guard companies and officers afford.
ed the benefit of every doubt If after years of
loyal support, the guard is not at the of dis
cipline and efficiency no fault can be found with
the quality of backing given by the community. The
fault. if any, must be elsewhere And if the guard
is to progress the for that fault must be elm
mated.
In attendance at the camp were able regular army
officers who undoubtedly will make a report the
situation That report ought to clear the atmos-
phere by placing the blame and pointing to remedial
action. Under such circumstances, officers and men
of the guard will be best serving patriotism discp
line and efficiency by withholding any intended res.
ignations 1t is reasonable TO expect that the army
will bring about any changes necessary in the inter
ests of business administration and military eici.

HoMESTEADING IN HAWAII.

| Honolulu, T. H., Nov. q, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: l am afraid that l will
have to butt in on this homestead or
small farm business, even at the risk
of 1t being said that talk on subjects
that know nothing about.
do not know why people expect to
grow farm produce in a tropical
country that can be grown in other
parts OF the world. 1ou are going
against the nature of the plant what
ever 1t may be, and also the laws OF
nature, which no one has been able
to. overcome. There is no more rea-
son to expect to grow the things that
grow so we'll in California here in Ha-
Waii than If the farmers of California
were expected to grow sugar cane
there. 1t simply can't be done. Ma
| ture will not allow you to do so.
The planters on the islands have
established system that leads the
world, If they were left alone. There
| is no place in this world where the
small farmer, except in Hawaii" ex-
| poets the large farmer or planter to
care for him, loan him money, care for
his crop, help him haul it tc the mill,
| grind the cane for him, in fact do
every thing for him but spend the in
come that he expects at the end of
the year, and because the large farmer
refuses to do all Of this he is con-
demned and cursed to high heaven.
Ihere is greater population in the
territory today under the present sys-
tenn than you will ever have under any
other system that can be worked out.
These are days Of big things, and any
one wanting work and who wants to
get along, can do so under the present
order of things better than any other
way.
The cultivation is of the very best.
the very lest farming implements are
used-a thing that Is utterly impos-
sible with the small farmer; shorter
hours for the laborer, better quarters
in every way.
The writer has just returned from
four months trip through the states
by automobile, and as nearly 45 years
OF my life were on the farm and ranch.
l feel able to speak. On our trip we
passed through % states, and natur-
ally took particular note of the farms
and their surroundings, and can
truthfully say that if numbers of the
farms were put under one manage
ment, and worked for the good of all,
there would be better yields. better
farming, shorter hours, and better con.
dltlons in every way. Under the sys.
tenn there the farmer is compelled to
90 all OF his own work, it is next to
impossible to get any help, as they
nave no accommodations for the hired
man, so he will not stay. Long hours
Is another factor that is against the
farmer that wants help. Some of the
farms, and not the smallest either,
nave never had money enough to
paint their homes, not even when they
were new, and they have never clean
ed up around the place. These con.
ditions have not existed on the islands
for nearly 20 years.
This talk about the farmer being in.
dependents big joke. If the farmer
wants any thing, the other fellow sets
the price. If the farmer has any thing
to sell, the other fellow sets the price,
and when 1t comes to the voting end
OF It, 1t Is another big joke, for there
