Of Hawaiian Mills

Commenting on the accomplishments
Of Hawaiian sugar men the Louisiana
Planter recently said editorially: -.
The Hawaiian mills are already
getting more Of the contained sugar out
Of the cane than ever diffusion did, and
diffusion got ninety-fye per cent out Of
content Of a 100 per cent sugar.
elm this connection we would say
that We have frequently been disposed
to think that those Yankee Puritans
who went ont from Massachusetts as
missionaries 70 the Hawaiian Islands,
carrying with them all their natural in.
genuity, developing there the modern
and bringing, as now, cane
Juice extraction mp to its highest de-
gree &c excellence, have simply added
another demonstration of the truth of
the Mendelian theory that there is a
survival through all the generations Of
that inventive spirit and of the inven-
tors determination to acquire success
that has been so frequently and so pos
itiyely demonstrated, in the work of the
men Of New England wherever they
mav have gone t.#. -

LIME NITROGEN FERTILIZER
p. VALUE Is SHOWN IN TEST

In q ten years fertilizer test ON four
crops, s. Horke sought to determine the
relative fertilizing value of the nitro
gen in ammonium sulphate and lime
nitrogen compared with that of nitrate
Of soda. In q recent number of Kiser-
let Rozlen, the author states that the
kind of soil had a marked influence. on
lime .nitrogen. II had the most favor,
able action on soils rich in lime and
humus, where it equaled ammonium
sulphate in effectiveness. .a... .-.@s
On sand soils rich in lime but poor
IN humus and ON loan soils rich in
humus but poor an lime, the lime nitro
gen had q less favorable effect than the
other two fertilizers. ..,.,r ...N
Comparing the crop producing value
of the three fertilizers on numerical
basis, taking nitrate of soda as 100 per
cent, on the sand with much lime and
little humus, the effect of the ammon-
ium sulphate was ninety-twO and the
lime-nitrogen sixty-two. On soils rich
in humus and poor in lime the ammon-
ium sulphate was worth eighty four and
the lime-nitrogen sixty-O one.
Lime, nitrogen was in general favor!
able to the same plants as ammonium
splphate although its action was usually
less marked The final average results
with all crops and all soil types showed
that with sodium nitrate taken at 100
ammonium sulphate stood at ninety one
and lime nitrogen at seventy. s..,. 80.

SILAGE DESTROYS DANGER
OF POISONOUS GLUC0SlDE
IN CANE TOPS FED STOCK

A glucOside called hurrin has been
isolated by two English chemists, Dun.
stan and Henry, from the leaves of
johnson grass and sorghum which. ur.
der the right circumstances, Yields
Prussic acid. An engine called "emul.
sin Is present in all parts of the plant
containing the glueoside, and when in
tn" carly processes of digestion the two
substances are brought together in an
animal 5 stomach, in the presence of
the dilute hydrnchloric acid or III" gas,
tric juice, prussic acid is liberated. d.
An examination of numerous cases of
sorghum poisoning has establi he'd two
important fncts: That the young veg-
etntivr portions of the plant are the
plant being nearly or quite harmless:
and, that the poisonous effect Of the
grass is enhanced in times of drought.
The young, rapidly growing portions
Of sorghum. johnson grass, cane and
corn, are often poisonous to farm ami.
mails. The "glucOside, which is the
source Of the poison, disappears, ordi,
Marty, in the MIXTURE plant but not al
together iR-sdEy years. Mainland ex.
oerim mt stations have determined that
he so,called "cOrn stalk disease, -
which takes enormously heavy toll of
cattle and horses during the winter
months, is in reality due to prussic acid
poisoning.
There have been .occasioned mysterious
losses Of work stock on the plantations
which have given rise to the suspicion
that feeding cane.tops was the cause.

BIG FUTURE FOR POTASH
IN CALIFORNIA PREDICTED

The development of, great potash
industry on the Pacific Coast is pre-.
dieted in the annual report of Secretary
of Agriculture Houston, submitted to
congresss VI. -. IT, {,
The secretary says that already largo
quantities Of potash are being recovered
from the kelp beds which line the coast
from California to Alaska.
Not long, after the beginning of the
war It was discovered that potash could
be recovered from kelp-the heavy
masses Of seaweed which float in the
surf Of the Pacific Coast. Scientific
experiments were conducted and found
to be successful.
According to the report $4,000 tons
Of raw kelp had been harvested and
reduced on September J.. 1916, and d
yield of 10 per cent of potash was re;
covered. The report says that under
present operating conditions the indus,
try would not prove profitable should
the war end and potash prices return
to normal @1aNE5 J
The department is working on plans
to make the United States permanently
independent Of Germany for her potash
supply, it is stated. .
