yields is in the picking and market
ing. When cotton is worth 500 per
bale the difference in the earning
capacity of the better land is com
pared with the poor land would be
$66.66 less the cost of additional
picking, etc
In many parts OF the state one
finds fields with big gullies washed
in them. Sometimes a gully is not
formed but little soil is removed
each year until the hard clay shows
at the surface. A good system of
terracing will hold the water so that
it will run off around the hill slowly
instead of dashing directly down the
steepest slope This will prevent
washing and at the same time cause
more of the water to soak into the
soil where 1t will be of use to the
future crop. The broad or Mangum
terrace should be used. The narrow
terrace breaks easily and has the
disadvantage of not being wide
enough so a row of corn or cotton
can be put on it. The cost of ter
racing field does not usually exceed
50 per acre.
Lack OF drainage is also a cause of
unproductive lands. This winter the
surface dicthes should be opened up
so the water can get away. Breaking
on wet lands should be done in beds
from fifteen to fifty feet wide. IL
the dead furrow opens In a ditch at
the end Of the field much of the sur
face water will be carried Off Broad
beds are always better than bed
for each row. Just little attention
to terracing. and draining will In.
crease the yield next year a great
deal.

HOW OUR SOLDIERS ARE PAID

Grades and pay go together. A
seconn lieutenant receives yearly
$1,700; first $4,000. Captains. ma
jors, lieutenant colonies and colonies
draw, respectively $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and $4,000. This is the initial
or base pay; it is increased 10 per
cent for every five years of service,
up to 40 per cent; this increase is
known in the army as "fogy."
Lieutenant colonies and colonies,
however. stop at $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. The pay of brigadier
is $4,000 that of a major general
$4,000. Generals get no "fogys."
Officers receive besides quarters, fuel
and lights. The pay of enlisted men
depends upon their grades, ratings
and length of service; 1t is too com
plicated to set out at length here
A private, however, gets a base pay
of SIS a month a corporal $21 or
$24 a sergeant $50 or $36; first
sergeants $45; all with increases for
length of service. In addition be it

ROYAL HAWAIIAN S%ONGBIRDS
AT AUDITORIUM, MAY 9Th

The Royal Hawaiian Songbirds. a
troupe Of native observation-disclosures
and musicians will appear at the
Auditorium theatre, May >. This tai
ented organization of sweet singers
comes highly recommended as one of
the best Hawaiian troupes ever
brought to this country. They present
a varied program of songs, instrument
tai music and dancing, i-nterspersed
with comedy. which is a feature sell
dom seen in connection with a program
Of Hawaiian music.
Native Hawaiian music is undoubt-
eddy the sweetest Of all. The enchant-
ing dreaminess of it seems TO per
meate to the very innermost senses,
and the plaintive strains Of the uku-
lele, accompanied by the voices of the
native singers, carries with them the
balmy atmosphere of the shores OF
Waikiki.
Princess Pauahi, a native Hawaiian
princess, is presented as one Of the
featured numbers in a refined version
Of the Golden Hula Hula as it is dane
ed in Holt. Another feature is David
Burrows, champion steel-guitar play
er Of the world, who has so thorough
ly mastered the art that at times he
uses only n hand in the manipula-
ton of this difficult instrumental fea-
ture.
