Thirty Events on
Field Day Program
Will Be Held Under Sanction
of A. A. u. and all Times
and Distances Will be Off
cial Maui Records

Saturday May Cone week from
tomorrow is amateur sport day on
Maui. the annual track and field meet
which will bring out the best athletes
and the most promising of the young
err elements of the Island. There
will be performers from the schools
in the Junior and intermediate classes
and older youths and young men in
the seniors. 1t is the first time on
Maui that such athletic sports have
had the sanction of the A. A. U. so
that every winning time and each
winning distance will establish a
Maui Record which will be official
and will be recognized as such where
ever sports are held in Hawaii or on
the mainland.
In order to get through with a long
program of 80 events a start will
have to be made at l o'clock sharp
and the officials will have to keep
things running easily, smoothly and
swiftly. Field events, the various
throws and the jumps can to a large
extend go along simultaneously with
the track program.
Much interest is reported among
the schools and keen competition is
anticipated from preliminary reports.
The entries close tomorrow and then
each entrant not already enrolled in
the A. A. U. will have to be and a
committee is now taking around for
filling out the application blanks for
A. A. T., membership.
Grown ups can get a real punch
from attendance at the sports and be
carried back a few years to the time
when perhaps they were competing
or else were roofing for their schools,
their college or their athletic club.

the day.

WHAT IS THE
FARM BUREAU

The important question of the day
with you is "What is the Farm Blu
reau?"
A few days ago the farmers and
business men of a nearby Mississippi
town had joint meeting, elected of
ficers, and drew up plans to begin
some constructive agricultural work
such as the building of cooperative
sweet potato storage house, the pro-
duction of watermelons in car lots,
the marketing of farm products CO.
operatively, the development of a
better credit system, the expansion
of boys and girls club work, etc.
This town is making a beginning
in cooperative work not unlike that
of the first farm bureau that was
organized in the United States. The
origin of the farm bureau is differen

mentioned here only a few OF the
many Towering plants that deserve
attention. Let me caution any who
grow flowers that they plant only
so many as they will give best atten-
ton. Violets, snapdragons, gladio-
lus, dahlias and chrysanthemums
bring good money when properly
placed on the market, and good pro-
fit results from the sales of such
plants as salvias, vincas, violets
chrysanthemums, etc. Hundreds OF

during April, or so long as the soil
remains moist and reasonably cool.
New paintings will give better re-
suits next season than the old beds.
Divide the clumps or use the young
er plants attached thereto.
Saliva, verbena, coleus, vinca ge-
ranium and chrysanthemum are east
ly grown from cuttings. A shallow
box containing moist sand three OF
four inches deep and kept near a
window in the living room or in the
kitchen will take care Of the cuttings
until rooted and ready for trans
planting to pots, boxes or open soil

from that of any other similar or
'ganization. There was no general
plan made by anyone. A chamber
of commerce of a little interior town
of New York in cooperation with the
farmers started a cooperative agri-
cultural work and called it a farm
bureau. The results of the work of
this little organization was so great
that it rapidly spread throughout
America and now the one great or
ganization is known as the American
Farm Bureau.
An extract from the constitution
of the county farm bureau states
that the objects of the organization
shall be to create countrywide or
ganization to promote the develop
ment of the most profitable and
permanent system of agriculture; to
cooperate with the Mississippi Co.
operative Extension workers, the
Mississippi Agricultural College and
Unitde States Department of Agrl-
culture in the employment of coun-
'ty agent or agents; to develop def
mite educational progra moi work for
production and marketing that will

APRIL WORK WITH FLOWERS.


Prof. A. B. Mckay, head of the
Horticultural and Horticultural De-
partment Of A. & M. College, has
prepared some practical suggestions
for flower growing, which are as
follows:
<"Even the busiest work-a-day peo-.
pie may derive pleasure and profit
from a few minutes given each day
! to flowers. Many Of our choicest
Towering plants are Of easy culture
and require but little time from
planting to flower. The following
suggestions may aid readers interes-
ted:
Violets may be planted any time

ton so as to cause change in rural
life for the highest ideals in the
home and community, and greater
interest in farm business and rural
life on the part of the boys, girls and
young people,"
Further extracts state that the or
ganization is absolutely non political,
non class and non secret.
It is operated, differed and fl
nanced by the farmers themselves.
1t is not the purpose of this organi-
cation to ever let politics get into it,
so county, state or federal officers
cannot hold an office in it, but it is
being made a medium through which
the farmer can speak concerning his
county, state and national problems
and receive the hearing he SO richly
deserves.
The State Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is only an enlargement of the
tCounty Farm Bureau and its func-
lions are with those problems that
affect a group of counties and cam
not be handled by the individual
county themselves. For example, in
Mississippi the % county farm bu-
reaus decided that the fertilizer
question was of state Importance.
They came together, pooled their or
ders for 5000 tons of acid phosphate,
had representatives of 40 fertilizer
firms to bid on it, letting the orders
go to the lowest bidders and the fer
tilizer is being delivered at saving
of $500 to $3.50 per ton over retail
prices. Such problems as soil fer
tility, dairying, livestock, poultry,
fruit, and vegetables and marketing,
etc., will be taken up according to
their relative Importance.
"The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton" as stated by its Secretary
sis an organization whose aims are
to serve agriculture as effectively as
the chambers fcommerce of the
United States serves organized bust
ness"
''The objects of the American
Farm Bureau Federation are to de-
velop, strengthen, and correlate the
work of the State Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton of the nation; to encourage
and promote cooperation OF all rep
resentative agricultural organiza-
lions in every effort to improve ia
cilities and conditions for the eco
nomic and efficient production, con-
servation, marketing, transportation,
and distribution Of farm products; to
further the study and enactment of
constructive legislation; to advise
with representatives Of the public
agricultural institutions cooperating
with Farm Bureaus in the determine
ton of nationwide policies, and to
inform Bureau members regarding
all movements that effect their in
terests."
So the Farm Bureau is an organi-
zation waging forward for better
farming, better marketing, better
civic conditions, better communities,
better homes and better living.
Whatever its program may be it's de-
velopment is going to depend on the
loyal support of it's members.

The Washington Tradition.

In the time of George Washington
no man was more malgned. His poll
dies were ripped up numerically
by his foes. Today his lightest word
has become sacred thing. Some
body is always bringing up some
\ comment of his to prove the wisdom
of a present policy. The utterances
of Washington and Lincoln are get
ting to be used, like passages in the
Bible, to prove anything anyone
wants to prove.
A letter to Elbridge Gerry, dted
January 20, ITO, urges Washing
tons belief in preparedness in con-
vincing manner:
.'There is nothing so likely to pro-
duce peace as to be well perpared
to meet the enemy; and from this
persuasion, and the effect you justly
observe the contrary on our part
might have been on the mind of the
court of France and also on that of
Spain, think it would be right for
us to hold forth at least every ap-
pearance of preparation and vigor,
and really to do what >our abilities
and the circumstances of our finance
my well justify"
The fact of the matter is that
Washington and Lincoln and other
great men believed and believed in
the same fundamental principles of
peace, truth, justice, liberty and the
growth of ideas. They judged occa-
sions as they came by the standards
of those principles and they did their
best to apply the principles to the
occasions with as great a measure OF
common sense as humanity permit
ted.
That is all that any statesman
or any private person in his own
life-can do. Who does it succeeds,
for himself and for the community
he serves.-Greenville News.

Says World Production Deter
mines Wheat Price.

ssWorld production is the dominat-
ing influence on the price of wheat
in the United States" is the opinion
of M. w. Pickell, agricultural statis-
tician for the Farmers National
Grain Dealers Association at Chica-
go, who has just finished a three
months special study of the factors
influencing the price of wheat. In
other words, the price of wheat in
this country is fixed by the worlds
production of wheat rather than the
movement of wheat from, other coun-
tries into the United States. If this
is true we can't see how protective
tariff on imported wheat is to benefit
the wheat grower to any great ex-
tent.
From August 1, 1921 to July 81,
1922, the United States imported
363,456 bales of foreign cotton. Du-
ring the same period we exported ap-
proximately 100000 bales to for
eign countries. It is therefore evi-
dent that cotton tariff cannot pos
sibly benefit the cotton grower, as
long as the United States sells fif-
teen times as much cotton as she
buys.
In wheat and cotton, we have two
of the most important crops grown
in this country. Neither one of them
is benefited by a protective tariff.
There are possibly few crops of mi
nor importance which are benefited
by a very high tariff, but what is
gained by the producers of these mi
nor crops is more than counteracted
by the tax that such tariff puts on
the farmers as whole. We fail to
see how farmer, especially South
ern farmer who grows cotton, can
favor very high tariff.-Progress-
i've Farmer.
