ALFALFA IS splendid CROP NOW
TOHELPFEEDHAWAII, SAYS HENkE

but if Hawaii is to become self
sustaining In this matter Of food
supplies, vegetables alone will never
do it, We need more cows and hogs
and chickens to balance the rations
I; of vegetables, and to have more ami
mails we must have more feeds, and
! these feeds must be home grown.
Any situation which will cut off cur
food supply from the mainland will
certainly stop the importation of ami
NAL feeds, and even if that situation
should not arise, it is impossible to
produce animals or animal products
at a profit by depending on the ex-
cessively high priced imported feeds,
which have gone UP ten to fifteen
per cent more the past few days.
Among feeds that can be grown
successfully on these, Islands, alfalfa
occupies leading place. 1t is an
ideal forage crop for horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep and poultry. While the
best growth or production cannot be
secured by feeding alfalfa alone, if
necessity arises animals will do fair
" we'll on alfalfa alone without the
addition of any concentrate. A ton
of alfalfa has about the same feeding
value as ton of bran and we can
grow. many tons per acre. On the
college Farm during the year 1915
our best alfalfa field yielded at the
rate of 1877 tons dry hay per acre,
and the poorest field, badly over
grown with the so-called Nut grass,
yielded six tons dry hay per acre.
Alfalfa meal, which is nothing but
alfalfa hay ground fine, is today sell
ing in Honolulu for S35 per ton,
which gives fair return even with
only six-ton yield. 1t provides con-
tinuous feed for livestock, as our
best field was cut eleven times IN
1916. After a field is once estab-
lished it will struggle, along without
very much water, but for best yields
and rapid growth it must be irrigated.
With favorable conditions the nrst
crop will be ready for harvesting
about two months after planting. 10
facilitate irrigation and keeping down
weeds economically it is usually
planted in rows IS to So inches apart
Seemingly the distance between rows
is not an important factor for within
reasonable limits the yields are likely
to be about the same.
Alfalfa needs a we'll drained soil OF
a. loamy nature Five pounds OF seed
are sufficient for an acre. Plant
the seeds about half an inch deep
unless the soil is very dry, in which
case deeper planting would be ad-
yisable. Deep planting, however
greatly delays the start OF the plant
and gives the weeds chance to get
ahead of the alfalfa. The weeds must
be kept down the first four weeks or
the alfalfa will likely fail.
Cut worms may eat the young

plants at this time of the year
Poisoning with a paris green bran
mixture is the remedy against them.
With this exception alfalfa seems to
be remarkably free from insect and
fungus pests The cut worm does
not damage a mature field, as the
stems become too hard. Seed of the
Peruvian variety, which does very
we'll here, can likely be obtained from
the Territorial Marketing Division,
though their supply may not last
long. More can be obtained from
the Coast in a few weeks. The cut
worm is probably worse during April,
May and June than at any other time
of the year. 1t might be advisable
to delay planting for time, making
arrangements to secure seed in the
meantime.
Alfalfa is of course field and
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-04-14

not a garden crop. 1t would fit in
nicely on the plantations where all
facilities for growing the crop rapid
ly are available 1t is a wonderful
rotation crop with sugar cane, for
being a legume it adds nitrogen to
the soil from the air and greatly i'm
proves the physical condition of the
soil as we'll. When we are looking
around for something which will
help feed Hawaii indirectly by pro-
ducing animals and animal products,
alfalfa deserves a place. ....

Growing Possibility

these Islands today Is what can
grow to help feed Hawaii and re
duce the excessive price Of food
stuffs? I've got a piece of land but
| don't know what to grow on 1t OF
how to grow it. r.
Too often the answer is to grow
carrots or beets or onions or lettuce
or some other vegetable. Vegetables
are good and we need more of them
States may well be proud, and, while
perhaps the government works slowly,
it works continuously on very sound
plan to establish naval base here
that will be in reality the Gibraltar OF
the Pacific.
All that hangs over Hawaii is the
possibility of such a fall in the price
of sugar as to seriously interfere
with its economic prosperity. One
surely cannot look back without ap'
prevail and gratitude to the fact that
at the time when the destiny of Ha.
wall was settled its international re-
lations, such a man as Daniel Webster
was secretary of state.
Hawaii, like Switzerland. is proud
of its schools. ...
OF course the natural beauties OF
the islands. with the all-year-round
genial climate. has made them famous
as the Paradise Of the Pacific. A
thermometer with a range of 80 de-
grees is sufficient to record the eli
matte changes in Hawaii, unless one

THE HIGHER DIPLOMACY.
(From Daily Financial Amteerica.)

y D. Z
The great men of history we're not diplomats
diplomats in the sense in which the world is used
today They had little use for circuinlocution. for
roundabout methods, for artful evasion and anbg-
nous assertion. Those of the great men of his
tory who were governmental or military servants
of the people were direct in their dealings when
engaged in matters of diplomatic character; they
said little but what little they did say meant much.
There was no misunderstanding of their attitude,
no chance for misnterpretation of their meaning.
Admiral Dewey will live in history not because
of his victory over the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay
but because he handled perilous diplomatic crisis
with conspicuous success. How he handled it is
well known. He allowed no opportunity for mis-.
conception involuntary or intentional, of his pur-
poses. This took rare courage but an exhibition
of determination and courage is often half the bat
lie. The Germans; accustomed in the far places
of the earth to winning advantages by buster and
threat found Admiral Dewey more than their
equal, for at Manila Bay. though far from sources
of supply and assistance, he consolidated his vic
tory over, the Spanish in the face of threats and
obstacles thrown in his way by a German feet. and
held the way open for the later capture of the city
Of Manila by american troops.
The higher diplomacy is the direct diplomacy.
The world win move more speedily tnwards peace
and peace will be best maintained when the alleged
art Of secret and circuitous diplomacy, with its
accomplices of deception and falsehood, is dismiss
ed as unworthy of human practise.

BLooDTowN AND wAHIAwA.

wahiawa residents are indignant at the mention
Of the notorious Bloodtown as part of their neigh
borhood. They protest against referring to Wahi-
ava in connection with this foul collection OF crib
houses bind pigs gambling-dives, Illicit drug dis
pensaries and opium joints.
wahiawa-the orderly, the clean, the beautiful
and the decent Wahiawa-protests against associa.
lion in public mind with Bloodtown-the disorderly.
The filthy. the ugly, the indecent Bloodtown.
And syahiawa's grievance is just, but SO long as
EIoodtpmn is tolerated, just so long will Wahiawa
be injured. Tsr
So long as this den of vice and violence and shame
is allowed 10 blot the landscape long will il mar
the name and the fame of decent Wahiawa.
For Bloodtown, like a ragged leering drunken
dcbauchee sits on the very doorstep of Wahiawa
and not man, womlaa or child can drive into Wa
hiawa without seeing this horrible thing on the
threshold
Within the limits Of the original Wahawa tract
there is neither disorderlness nor commercial vice,
but just outside those limits the shame of of the
1oulcst resorts the islands have ever tolerated.
Whep General strong told tile Mems League at
Central Union Church on Monday night that unless
this resort is cleaned up he will issue orders forbid
ding any Of the enlisted frequenting it, he gave
warning which every decent citizen must hope he
viii put into effect.
City and county government has utterly failed TO
clean up Wahiawa. BE the cause what it may. the
fact Is there, undeniable, monstrpus. And the fur
tier fact is that Boodtown will not exist in any
thing like its present condition If the enlisted men
Of the army are forbidden to go there.
The shame Of BIoodtown is NOT only Wahiawasl
shame, 1t is Honolulus Shame BIoodtown is one
great dirk NASTY argument for the passage Of the
eo-called ,abatenent BY injunction bill. The sen
ate has wcalened that bill in d manner which il u
very great regret. The senate would allow only
rfpperty oNners within thousand feet Of premises
<opained of to take action through the city or ter
litorial government. II this thousandfoo clause
we're cut ont, and the bill should pass. outraged
Uahiawa would rise up and wipe the stain Of Blood
town OF tbe map OF Oahu.
But there stili remains asstreng weapon. Maliana
|as protested somewhat against BIoodtown but has
bot done one tenth o. the protesting which the sit
ration jusfIfes. Let every man woman and child
a Wahiawa sign protest against this focus Of vice
and crime and send the signed protests to General
Strong As well as to the mayor and supervisors

THE PLEBIsCITE.

Objection is made in the house to The prphibi-
ton plebiscite bill on the ground that the legisIa-
ture cannot legally submit the question TO vote of
the people. The liquor interests seem particularly
impressed with this technical objection, fact
which is hardly to be wondered at. But it should
be kept in mind that II the ple5scite is called and
Hawaii votes dry" Congress will very indOrse
the action, as was done in the case of Alaska.
True friends OF prohibition. therefore, ought not
10 object to the plebscte. Congress would get 4
valuable expression of opinion. -.
Regardless of the suspicion of bad faith charged
against the introduction of the plebscte bill it is
interesting to observe that the liquor men not
happy over the prospect. No wonder. The states
are fast outlawing King Booze and his exposed and
dsgraced political methods. and Hawaii will soon
