TROUBLES DON'T
STOP KALAHEO
Kalaheo School,

3 tA0AaACO OShOOlg
Homestead, Kauai, Jan. 26, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Kalaheo is a school OF 275
pupils i'm seven rooms. Thirty-six
boys of the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades are working in the
school garden. We have two plots
40x40 feet each. One plot is fenced.
They are en- sloping ground and a
ditch runs between the two. Water
has been running since Christmas.
The ground was plowed by our road
luna after the boys cut the tall weeds
which covered il.
We have been working one hour
and half on Friday afternoons. The
first Friday of this month we put in
the posts for the fence. The second
Friday part of the boys stretched the
wire while the others terraced the
ground.
The third Friday, January 10. we
planted carrots, beans and peas and
transplanted cabbage, lettuce and to-
matoes. which seeds had been plant
ed before Christmas. Each boy has
his own plot, 6x10 feet.
The boys were proud of their work
for that day and went home very en-
thusiastic about gardening. But that
night came storm and rain poured
down as ii pours only at Kalaheo FAC
cording to residents of THE zother
SIDE of the island). The ditch which
runs through the garden overflowed
just above the garden and Saturday
morning the garden" was a sorry
sight to behold.
However, we are not discouraged
and will begin all over again next Fri
day. Today being tie day of the
Kauai Teachers Association conven-
ton. there was no garden work done
at Kalaheo.
Very respectfully,
PHOEBE E. MITCHELL,

beans. | was one Of the students who
planted the crops late and have sue

| planted my "daikon" October 10
and again planted some two or three
weeks later than the other boys.
1t took me about two weeks to cul-
tivate the land because 1t was not fer.
tile land and also was rocky land. l
plowed about three or four feet deep
and miyed the soils with manure and
bone meal.
] planted in rry garden one dollar
and fifty cents worth OF daikon.
When tie da.kcn was about two
months and a half old il was time for
me to pull the daikons so | have
pulled them and sold them at the
Vegetable Market in Hilo and made
some profit. / was the only person
who made the best money. At first
my teacher was surprised to see the
daikons. They were about three
inches in diameter and about one foot

Sir: | want to tell you about our
school garden. 1t is on the south side
of the school yard. 1t is So feet
square. H.. 49,. .:
Last October we started our garden.
We dug up the ground. 1t was very
hard and dry We did not have the
right kind of picks to dig the ground
with but still we used them. We
worked hard every day before school
and during recess.
We made some beds and planted
some seeds. The plants did not grow
nicely because the soil was poor.
This term we dug some of the beds
and mixed them well with stable ma
nure. We planted some seeds and
they are growing nicely except the
beans. planted some radishes on
the 18th of January and they are now
three or four inches high.
