Farmers Are Awake

In Kershaw County
We take the following from The
Camden Chronicle.
Mr. Il. Lee Sowcll, one of the larg
est farmers of the Buffalo section Of
the county, shipped two car loads Of
Hereford and short horn steers to
Jersy City last week: The animals
averaged 1877 pounds each, and sold
for 1G cents per pound, making a to-
tai of $S,004.2S received for the for
ty-four head. DR.. Walter Sorrcll
went with the cattle and looked after
the sale. The steers were bought il
Tennessee last year and fattened or
Mr.. Sowcll's place. Besides rcaliz-
ng 4 handsome profit on the animals
he realized around $4,000 in manure
from the keeping of the cattle on his
farm.
Mr.. F. M. Wooten, Of the Consoli-
dated Farms Co, also sold sixty-thrce
head of the same breed of steers to
Hclstern & Sons, of Richmond, Va,
last week. These animals were sold
At his farm and shipped to Richmond,
the Richmond firm sending man
here to look after the sale and ship
ping. Mr.. Wootcn's steers average
1926 pounds each and the price paid
was 1876 per pound, the entire lot
bringing $11,22.97. Like Mr.. Sow
IL he will derive about $4,000 worth
fine fertilizer from these steers.
We learn that several other Ker-
shaw county farmers will fatten
steers for market this fall, among
them Mr.. w. H. Kirkbridc of Fair
view Farms who will have fifty head ;
DR.. S. f. Brasington will also pur-
chase fifty head; B. ID. Boykin fifty
head; Mr.. Wooten will purchase an
other hundred head; while Mr.. Sowell
will have two hundred head this win

MR.. BAKER ON PIG CLUBS

Clemson College, May-Mr. L. l..
Baker, supervising agent for Boys
Clubs, suggests that club boys and
county agents should lay more stress
on the feeding phase of club work
just at this time, because of the fact
that the supply of purebred breeding
stock in some counties is bec2'r
somewhat greater uha,. demand.
Consequently, some Gu members
have moi )und it easy to dispose of
their surplus breeding stock and have
become disappointed and discour-
aged.
With more attention to the fatten-
ing or feeding work among club BOYS,
there would be a tendency to use up
the surplus pigs now On hand; and
when sufficient number has entered
this phase Of club work it would be
easy W arrange 10 market IN carload
lots, thus getting quicker and surer
returns for the members.
Mr.. Baker suggests that club mem
bers in this class should not be limited
to one pig if they ere prepared to de-
vclop more than one. But, whether
one or more, records should be kent
of all feeds and other expenditures.
"ihcrc is a possibility of big fu-
ture," says Mr.. Baker, for this phase
of club work, because il means the
disposing Of al pigs hot needed for
breeding; it encourages cp-opcration
among members and it kc.ps to
solve the marketing problem for sur
plus IS in each county,

Before the war practically every steamer of whatever character or
ownership, which touched at a Maui port brought a later mail. Now,
for some reason not yet clear, vessels arrive constantly with no mail
whatever. The Lurlne from Honolulu last week was a case in point

KEEP IT OUT OF POLITICS"

OF all c~atch-phrase injuncGons which have gained the currency of
gospel among the untnnking masses OF the American people, this is
perhaps the most misleading and mischievous of all.
1t seems incongruous that in this land of the people. for the people
and by the people, poitcs-the science and art of government-should
be treated as an uncean thing, as something to be eschewed by right
thinking people, or as a necessary evil from which we ourselves and
our institutions must be protected.
How much the United States has suffered from this attitude of
mind would be hard to estimate. Certainly it has been responsible for
much Of the corruption and graft and ineficiency in government that
has marked our nations history. And conversely, of course, this cor
ruphon and graft and inefhcienCy of government has brought politics
into its present state of disrepute.
By right we should be a whole nation OF politicians. Debating as
we may not only through the balotbox but also through the power
TO dictate issues to be decided by the ballot, it would seem tina. the first
interest of every citizen should be in politics: that politics should take
precedence in Importance to almost every private interest.
Why should we be counseled to keep everything out of politics?
lust think about that for a moment. Why should we not be urged
instead to &c. into politics and to bring all of our civic and social and
religious institutions into politics with us?
The American Legion, a great new organization of the men and
women who took up arms for the nation in the Great War, starts its
career with a declaration to shun politics. Yet young Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr, already in politics himself, and by all indications a born
politician as was his great father, is the leader in the movement.
Why should it keep out of politics? 1t frankly aims to shape the
course of the nation in the trying period following the war; to uphold
true American ideals, and to defend the country from the enemies with
in IS it did from the enemy from without.
Our old political parties are felt to be inadequate. To be weighted
down with traditions, bound by selfish interests. How could the Am
the political arena and if need be, forcing the old parties into the dis
card?
The individual citizen grumbes and kicks about his taxes, the
waste of public money, and the inefhcienCy of men in office. Yet many
of these good citizens do not even take the trouble to cast their ballot
at the regular elections. They have no legitimate kick coming.
Until a man not only votes at the regular election, but votes also
at the primaries and in his precinct club, and uses his voice in determn-
ing what shall be voted for, he has no right to complain. He has ac-
guessed in being governed by men who are in politics a a business
and not for their health.

HOMESTEADING!

Read the following new item from a Honolulu newspaper and see
what you think Of this kind of demonstrating:
Since the agreement of the Waiakea Mill Company to cultivate
the 1920 cane of those homesteaders who signed the contract providing
tor the payment of five percent of the proceeds of this crop to the farm
ers, a considerable number of additional signers have come in, says
David Forbes, manager of the mill. Cultivation of the crops is going
on satisfactorily, and the result is expected to be gratifying. He at
tributes the failure of certain of the homesteaders to sign up with the
company to the fact that some Of them at least have not thoroughly
understood the situation.
He also announced that the company had decided to pursue a
policy whereby the laborers formerly in the employ of the company,
will not forfeit their bonus from the company if they go to work for
the homesteaders, thus working indirectly instead of directly for the
plantation. Should they, however, go to another plantation, the result
would be different. But, although the management feels that it would
be quite within its rights to deny these men participation in the bonus
should they leave the direct employ of the plantation, Manager Forbes
says he believes better results will be obtained by close cooperation be-
tween the company and the homeseaderS, and for this reason the plan
taton is determined to grant the laborers their bonus, as long as they
do not work without the limits of the plantation"

PLANT FRUIT TREES
Next Friday is Arbor Day.

-NNAt i lNaS 10 LlDoi LAY
In this connection the Hawaii Educational Review, the official
organ OF the department of public instruction says: "Hawaiis children
are hungry for fruit. Encourage them to plant fruit trees-papaias and
bananas. Plant fruit trees on the school grounds. Plant fruit trees
along the roads. Plant fruit trees at home. Hawaii is hungry for
fruit Plant fruit trees. This is good citizenship
The suggestion is good. Hawaii is hungry for fruit. In this
land Of summer where fruit was designed by nature IS one of the prin-
cpal foods for man, it forms perhaps a smaller part of the dietary of
the average family than in most temperate zone countries. And the
lack Of an abundance Of fruit especially for the children, cannot but
be detrimental to their best health and development.
The craving for fruit in children is not merely a perversiy, as
grown-ups sometimes think. The boy who hurls stones into your man
90 tree is not actuated solely by mischievousness. He Graves the fruit
because his system demands it. 1t is right that he should have this
need satisfied and an injustice to him if it be denied him
There is no excuse for lack o. fruit in these islands. Many kinds
will grow with little o no care after they are once planted. Fruit
should be so plentiful here that no one would need ever to be fruit
hungry.
Let's take up the school departments suggestion and make this
Arbor Day a fruit planting day.
Plant fruit trees.

The style of leadership of Fred Maxine wa never more mani
fest than in his declaration to the Japanese that the sugar planters are
at the bottom of the foreign language school agitation. In view of the
fact that at least some of the Japanese laborers may naturally be expect
cd to go back to Japan when the Japanese schools are abolished (Makino
says most of them will go) it is hard to see how he expects to put his
propaganda across. 1t has been but a few months since the Japanese
press was ghoatng over the claim that it had scared the sugar plant
es in the legislature into killing the foreign language school control
bill through fear of losing their laborers.

Just what chance the Smith-Towner educational bill has of pass
ing the Congress in the near future we don't know. The bill would
create a department of education with a new cabinet member as its head.
1t carries appropriations amounting to $lOOOOO0OO and provides for
the spending of a large part of this for educational purposes in coopera-
ton with the various states.
1t is quite certain that sooner or later this or a similar measure
will carry. The point of local interest is to see that Hawaii is not left
out of consideration IS she has been in various other acts simply be-
cause nobody was on the job.

WHAT'S WRONG WIrH THE TEACHERSY

There might be no especial significance in the fact that the school
teachers of Honolulu have declined to join the American Federation of
Labor. A lot of people are not in sympathy with labor unions in gen
eral or with the big organization named, in particular.
The dscouragng thing is the lack of interest shown for or against
the effort: the positive inertia which seems to grip the teaching force
IS a whole.
1t is not a new phenomenon. 1t is simply characteristic of the Is
lands and perhaps of the whole country. The matter of joining n not
joining a union S of no moment i'll itself. But the fact that the vast
majority of teachers ever seem willing to drift with the current, loath
TO exert themselves even a little for their own or the common good,
except perhaps momentariy to gain some immediate and specific object,
is the serious feature of the situation.

CAPITAL, LABOR and THE PUBLIC

The compliance of the United Mine Workers with the demand of
the federal court that the strike order be recinded is not to be con-
strued as a victory for the mine operators over the miners, but a vic
tory of the people of the United States over both. Both sides are now
getting together, and indications arc that, aided by the mediation of the
ably just to all
The conference, which begins today, may of course result in moth
ing. but it lends hope to the belief that realization is dawning for both
capital and labor that neither can rule: that the public which both serve
is inevitably to be the master.

THE MArSoN coMPANYS PROPOSITION

With the Matson companys definite announcement of intention to
build at once a $4,500OO0 passenger vessel for the Island trade, with
accommodations for $50 hrstcass passengers and capable of making
the run to Honolulu in ~ days, together the company's further de
caraton of policy to amply provide for passenger travel in the future,
it is no more than just for the Islands to back the Matson line to the
exclusion of foreign shipping.
1t is not reasonable, however, to make travelling on foreign ships
a crime, as is the case under the present coast-wise shipping law, and
punishable as such by a fine of $500. A law requiring American ship
ping concerns to supply on demand transportation on foreign vessels
al a premium of $50, or even SIS, should amply protect domestic ship
ping, would not work an undue hardship on persons compelled for any
reason to travel on foreign ships, and would remove the stigma of
criminahty which the present law imposes.

The fine of $500 levied last week by Judge Poindexter against a
moonshine booze maker is more to the point than the $50 licenses"
which the same court used to hand out and call them fines. A six
months jal. sentence, however, would beat hning all hollow. The fed
cal officials ought really to be ashamed of themselves at their general
ineficency in coping with the illicit liquor traffic in this territory.
