Homes Commission Is
Inspecting Its Lands
On Island of Molokai

Aboard the Claudine when she left
Honolulu Friday night were George p.
Cooke, executive officer of the Hawai-
ian Homes Commission, Governor
Harrington, Albert Horner, Rev. Akai-
ko Akana, Delegate Kuhio, John Wise,

L. Borden, W. T. Pope, Herbert Kins-
lea, Howard Case and J. b. Lightfoot.
The party is the commission, agricul-

newspaper men. They will look over
the available lands of the commission
on Molokai and possibly select a site
for the first experimental farm that
will be instituted there.
Arrangements when they left Homo
lulu were that the Claudine should be
met in the channel by Mr.. Cookies
sampan Leileiona to which they were
to transfer and proceed to the landing
place on Molokai. Saturday, Sun
day and yesterday were to be devoted
to inspection trips and they were to
be back in Honolulu Thursday morn
ing.
This is the first visit the whole

Agriculture
Cultivation
(By ]. f. O'Brien)

Cultivation
The objects of cultivation are: (1)
to destroy weeds, (2) to aerate the
soil, (3) to save moisture.
AS already stated one of the best
methods to destroy weeds is t. allow
them to start and then give another
narrowing before the crop is planted.
If this cultivation is thorough most of
the weed seedlings will be destroyed.
Deep cultivation at any time is bad
for the crop as many plant roots are
destroyed especially in the case of
crops that are surface feeders and
whose roots run long distances for
food, such as corn. Cultivation should
be as shallow as possible, just sufici-
ent to break the crust.
Rotation of Crops
As already stated if the same crop
is planted year after year on the
same ground, the production will
show a yearly decrease until finally it
will not pay for the seed and labor
expended. The land is said to be
crop sick" The reason is that each
plant eXcretes or forms a substance
poisonous to itself but a stimulant to
other plants. Deep roofing plants
should be followed by those that have
shallow roots legumes place nitrogen
in the soil and send their roots deep.
They should be followed by crops
which are surface feeders but require
an abundance of nitrogen. Corn
should follow a legume as it requires
an abundance of nitrogen and is a
surface feeder. Oats may follow corn
pr,nnc which nn0nt1po 90 tho urnvrth of
weeds should not succeed one another
as grain crops are liable to be in
tested with insects, fungi, scab, or rot
such as potatoes should not be repeat
ed on the same land each year. A
good rotation for Hawaii would be,
beans or peas, corn alone or intre-
cropped with a legume if potatoes
are to follow, potatoes, clover, vetch
and alfalfa can be grown between the
corn and potato rows and if the tops
are plowed under will add humus and
nitrogen to the soil. Lime will great
ly improve the crops but should be
applied at least thirty days before
any crop is planted. The one crop
system has studied the United States
all over with derelict farms, a thing
unknown of in European countries
Where rotation of crops is strictly
carried out, and although the land has
been under cultivation for centuries
it as just as fertile today as it was
a hundred or more years ago, per
haps more so. Every farmer should
draw a map of his farm showing the
fields and their location. Each year
make a note of the crops grown. You
a then carry out an intelligent sys
TEN of rotation and be able to make
comparisons.
Dry Lard Farming
Is a name given to tilling the land
in sections where the rainfall is scant
or uncertain. We have many such
sections in Hawaii. The essential
points of successful dry land farming
are (1) a deep seed bed. This can
only be accomplished by blowing
deep. If the surface soil is shallow

and Animals
May Be Held 10 Pay
Lien For Their Care

Where live animals or poultry are
shipped away from Maui to the other
islands the shippers should be careful
to see that boxes or crates, or what
ever encloses the shipment have the
address for which they are destined
marked plainly on them and should
write the friends or others to whom
the shipment is destined of the send
ing and probable time of arrival.
Maui News is asked by the Humane
Society to make this announcement
and also to call attention. of Rule Is
A. of the harbor board, concerning

signed any such livestock, who or
which shall violate the provisions of
this rule shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor and shall be punished
as provided by Section 693, Revised

"If any such livestock shall be al
lowed to remain upon any wharf for

out being so properly fed and water
ed the haybor master o" wharfinger

on the appointed day, an eulogy on the
unburied dead OF our glorious Southern
army. They died for their country.
Whether their country had or had not
the right to demand the sacrifice, is no
longer q question OF discussion. We
leave that for nations to decide, In fu-
ture. That 1t was demanded that they
fought nobly and fell holy sacrifices
upon their country's altar, and arc en-
titled to their country's gratitude, none
will deny.
The proud banner under which they
rallied in defense Of the holiest and
noblest cause for which heroes fought,
or trusting women prayed, has been
furled forever. Tho country for which
they suffered and died has now no
name or place among the nations Of
the earth.
Legislative enactment may not be
made to do honor to their memories.
but the veriest radical that ever traced
his genealogy back to the deck of the
Maynower, could not refuse us the sim
pie privilege of paying honor to those
who died defending the life honor and
happiness Of the Southern Women"
