Grow High Yielding
BeanS---Hint To BOYS

Developing beans hat bear 1876 pods
to the plant while the average number
on an ordinary plant is 40 is what
California boys agricultural clubs are
doing. Some club members have
found plants bearing as high as AGO
pods, according to field reports re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The demand for selected-bean seed
in California has increased to such an
extent that 25 club members in Salinas
Valley will soon make a regular bust
ness of selling this seed to farmers.
This new enterprise is the outgrowth
of the success attained by applying
the scientific methods taught by dem
onstrators in the extension work of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State agricultural
college. Each year members of these
boys clubs are required to select at
least 10 of their best plants from
which to choose the finest stock.
Selected seeds from these are planted,
and only plants showing h~igh-yield
strains are made use of for further
cultivation. This process Is continued
until the quality OF the seed is brought
up to the highest standard. Every
season a greater acreage is planted.
These seed demonstrations have so
completely convinced the farmers that
many of the fathers of the lads are
going into partnership with their sons,
agreeing to finance the business and
furnish land needed for the purpose.
Here's the method adopted by a
Salinas Valley boys club member, n
of the pioneers in the seed business:
Three years ago he made his 10-plant
selection, c%ultivating only a limited
plot; the next season this selected
yield was planted on a larger scale.
This year, following the approved
method, he has 80 acres of high-yield-
ing stock. The coming season he in
tends still further to increase his
acreage and have his dad as a part
ner.

New Process For
Preserving Meat
And Fresh Fish

NEW YORK, Dec. 10-(Associated
Press)--A new drying process by
which meats and fish can be kept in
definitely and then restored to their
former state of freshness by the
application of water and which, it is
believed, will increase the worlds
meat shipping capacity more than
twelve times by doing away with the
need for refrigeration, has been per-
fected in the chemical engineering
laboratories of Columbia University,
it was recently announced.
During a period of comprehensive
tests" the statement said, meats
that had been dried and kept a year
were restored to their former fresh
state and served in the homes of pro-
fessors attachd to the laboratory.
Three hundred pounds was sent to a
camp in the south and served to the
soldiers. Reports from the camp state
those who ate the restored meat fail
ed to discover any digerence between
it and strictly fresh meat"
By the process, it was asserted, all
bone, waste fat and connective tissue
are removed from the meat or fish to
be treated, leaving 100 percent food.
The meat is then cut into cubes or,
in the cas- of beef into steaks, placed
in a vacuum and subjected to a period
of drying at relatively low tempera-
ture. No other treatment is neces-
sary.
Research into the subject was be-
gun more than a year ago at the Har-
riman laboratories at Roosevelt Hos.
pital under DR.. X. G.. Falk and DIR. e.
M. Frankel. After the tests had pro-
crossed sufficiently they were trans
ferred to Columbia where they were
perfected with the cooperation OF Ut.

NAVY HAS VALUABLE NEW
INVENTION IN STAR SHELL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1O-(By
Associated Press.)-The fighting eff
hciency of the American Navy at
night will be increased about twenty
five percent by the perfection of a
star-shell operating at long range IN
der all conditions at sea The new
shell, which is said to excel any pro-
duced by other nations and the his
tory of its development vas describ-
ed in a statement recently issued to
the press by the Navy Department.
The shell is said to be suitable for
firing from guns of from, three to five
inch calibre and is fitted with a
parachute attachment. The shell is
filled with Illuminating material
guaranteed to burn in spite of the ter
rife rush of air it meets when freed.
The value of the shell lies, said the
Navy Department statement, in illum-
mating the naval units of the enemy
without disclosing the position of the
craft using the shell.

ONLY II PERCENT ENLISTED
MEN QUALIFIED FOR OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10-(By
Associated Press)-Eleven per cent
of the $500, 900 enlisted men of the
United States army subjected to
psychological tests were found to be
qualified mentally to become officers,
while more than 26 per cent of the
men examined were rated as above
average intelligence. Eighty-three
per cent of the officers to whom the
tests were applied met the required
standard of intelligence, said a state
ment to the press issued by the War
Department giving for the first time
the data complied by the division of
psychology of the medical department.
The tests were applied to men in all
camps and are said to give a fair
average for the entire military estab-
lishment. Less than one-half of one
per cent of the men were recommend
ed for discharge as mentally deficient.

BISBEE, Arizona, Dec. 15-(By
Associated Press.)-That Arizona's
output of copper for 1918 will exceed
that of 1917, the previous high record,
by one hundred and nineteen million
pounds was the statement made by
Joseph E. Curry, secretary of the
Arizona Chapter of the American
Mining Congress, in his annual report.
Mr.. Curry's figures, based upon care
fully gathered and segregated figures,
show this years output to be &c.,
100000 pounds, as against zoo, 000, 900
for last year. This record has been
made in spite of labor shortage and
shortage in materials. Not included
in the production figures might be
estimated conservatively 500, 900
pounds of copper produced by Arizona
mines from shipments of ore to
smelters outside the state, said the
report.

MiSsCastle Writes To Local Workers
Mrs. Frank Baldwin,
Puunene, Maui.

L uullCllC, Vldul
My dear Mrs. Baldwin:
Yesterday a cablegram came from
my brother giving the Hawaiian Chap
ter an important allotment for the
next five months and l therefore wire
lessed you this morning to wireless
me the number of finished pajamas,
bed shirts and undershirts you have
iUl hand, and also the number of cut
garments. AS soon as the reply
comes to this l will send you immedi-
ately the work you are to do. We
are to equip 800 beds monthly. This
will not be difficult and l feel it can
be accomplished in less time than
five months. The need for refugee
garments is tremendous, and the cable
says to rush them, especially through
January and February. Surgical
dressings are absolutely discontinued.
Therefore. if you have not already dis
J posed of your gauze, will you try and
do so on the Island. If you cannot do
this we will see what can be done
here.
l cannot say enough in praise of the
work done by your Island during the
year of 1918. The spirit of coopera-
ton and loyalty have been very in
spring and has proved the unfailing
service of the ONE of Hawaii. we'll
you extend to all your workers, on be-
half of the Red Cross, sincere thanks
and appreciation for what they have
done.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year,
Very sincerely,
BEATRICE CASTLE,
Supervisor of Women's Work, Am
erican Red Cross, Territory of Ha-
waii.
