The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-10-29

tables were no small part of the agri-
cultural exhibits as a whole even
though the past season has been
unusually dry. To show that the
growers are we'll up with the times it
may be said that some half a dozen
different species of vegetables were
exhibited that were not listed in the
entry lists and special entries had
to be provided for them, showing the
appreciation of the judges for the up
to-dateness of the interested parties.
Four excellent entries of cabbage
were made. The exhibits of string
beans, lima beans and garden peas in
the pod were all first class. The egg
plants, and cucumbers were clean
fresh and of first quality. There were
several entries of well developed
celery and excellent asparagus. There
were also creditable exhibits of tuT-
nips, beets, carrots, radishes, peppers,
onions, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes,
~rhubarb, parsley, Chinese cabbage
caulifower, sweet corn and tomatoes.
In the vegetable section there were
awarded 2 first prizes, II second
prizes, 10 third prizes and 10 special
prizes.
School Garden Exhibit
lhC oNlOOlo aSulh ulb -
proud and made an excellent showing
in spite of the dry season and the well
known handicaps under which most of
the schools have to work. The fact
that the fair was held only a short
time after school opened in the fall
makes the exhibits all the more credit
able and indicates remarkable enter
prise on the part of the young eX-
hibitors in overcoming adverse condi-
lions.
Puunene school showed an excellent
variety of pumpkins some of which
were of unusual size the seed having
been obtained by the principal, e. A.
Brown, from c. c. Conradt of Molokai.
A unique exhibit by the same school
was an immense stool of edible Gamma
surrounded with %cocoanuts and corn.
A special feature OF the exhibit of
the Lahaina school was a cluster of
we'll matched egg plant.
The Haiku school had the largest
selection of fruits and vegetables,
some of them being from home gar
dcns attached to the school. A dozen
uniform bottles showed as many Nari-
cites of beans and peas which had
been grown at the school. Thu school
also exhibited a huge egg plant and
q number of giant sweet potatoes.
Here also we're the only craving
plants IN tire school garden sec,ir.
Haleakala school made an excellent
exhibit of some well selected flowers.
This section was classed with the gen
eral school exhibit and the following
prizes were awarded. The different
schools were classed according to size
and each school competed only in it's
80 -, - aIoaa T4 NrnC rt11nn TINT in

~Kamehameha III School, Third. Glass

Home Grown and Mixed Feed
The exhibits of home grown and
home mixed feeds for dairy COWS,
work animals, and beef cattle as well
as hogs showed clearly thes possibili-
ties and actualities along that line in
Maui as well as in the other parts of
the Islands where this work has re-
ceived less careful consideration than
it has on Maui. The ability on the
part of the people of Maui to grow n
properly mix their own feeds for all
classes of livestock is of vital import
ance to the best interests of the terri
tory.
The two principal exhibitors of these
mixed feeds in the competitive sec
ton were the Waihee Farm of the
Waikiki Sugar Co., and the Haleakala
Ranch. The showing of the Waihee
Farm was especially commendable ow-
ing to the fact that it has so recently
been established under its present
management.
