present plans and the number to
receive paintings in succeeding years
is expected to increase accordingly.
Must Meet Requirements
All the farmers who will receive
trees next year have complied with
the requirements laid down by Cobb
as state forester, he said. The first
of these is that the ground must be
prepared the summer before the
spring in which the planting is made.
The ground is prepared by blowing
It and then summer following to keep
it free from weeds and grasses. In
spections are made by the forester
and in the event that the work of
preparing the ground has not been
done properly the forestry school is
instructed not to ship trees to the
applicant as planned.
In those counties which have
county agents the applications are
received through that officer, Cobb
said, but in counties without county
agents the forestry school will be
glad to receive applications now
from farmers who wish to start
paintings in the spring of 1929. The
only expense incurred by the farmer
in connection with these paintings is
the cost Of shipping the trees from
the state nursery.
Wide Distribution Sought
9obb said he hopes to receive suf-
ficient applications for trees to make
four demonstration paintings in each
county in the spring of 1929. In the
event that too many applications are
received the number Of paintings in
those counties from which many are
received will be less than the number
Of applications since the aim is to
obtain Is wide distribution Of the
trees rs possible.
The trees are small when sent out,
ranging from Is inches to two feet
in height but they grow rapidly
when the ground has been prepared
properly and reach sufficient size
IN four Of five years to provide real
windbreaks. .
Windbreaks at the federal expert
ment station IT NaudGn, regarded q
the finest in the western part Of the
state; are only 14sor Is years old,

me if he knew that Pm really gazing off
toward Urbana, Illinois"
Little wonder that the college chums
of Princess Tarhata read with unbeliev-
ing eyes the newspaper stories of her
sudden plunge back into the pagan and
the primitive. 1t was hard to imagine
their beloved "Hatte" falling in love
with a dusky datu and going into his
harem as Mrs. Tahl No. 4, even before
the wife she displaced had been legally
divorced, And it was even more diff
cult to picture her fighting in the jungle
with a gang of Moro black men bent
upon numbering the representatives of
the country for which she had confessed
SO much love and respect.
1t was remembered that she had often
been very emphatic in her condemnation
of the Moslem marriage laws "ln Sulu-
land" she had said, eve are expected to
marry very young-the boys when they
are 5 or l6, and the girls even younger.
If | should marry Moro, | could not
have the man loved unless my family
gave their consent. And if | married
against their wishes, my relatives would
ignore me and l would become social
outcast until crept into the mosque
and omitted to terrible beating at
the hands of a Mohammedan priest
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-04-14

"Then, if nv husband were man Of
means, | would have to share him with
other women, for the Koran allows a
Mohammedan four wives and as many
slaves and concubincs as he can support
If failed to keep his love, he could d.
vorce me by merely ordering me to get
out, but if he abused me and | came to
hate him there would be little chance of
my getting a divorce from him And
even if | did, / would have to pay twice
the sum bestowed on me as his bride and
marry again as soon as possible to keep
the respect of my neighbors. like your
American way much better"
Sulu's lovable little fia ner sailed from
San Francisco feeling ike that about the
marriage customs of her native land,
and yet the dispatches from Manila re-
ported that she had fallen madly in love
with one of the widest datus to be
found in the Moro archipelago, a hot
tempered worshiper of Mohammed, who
had, on other occasions, melted his sub
jects to rebel against American author
ity in the Philippines.
Was it love for Datu Tahil that had
suddenly made Tarhata abandon the
ways of civilization? Or could it be that
her uncle spoke the truth when he cried
"Once a Sulu always a Suu"? That
the girl who seemed to adopt the ways
of America so Fundamentally had really
taken on only a thin veneer of culture
that soon wore off when she got back
among her own primitive people?
Her college chums had often heard
hers openly poke fun at the heather
customs" of Sululand, and her room
mate remembered that, during her last
year at the University, she used to
get down in her little Filipino nightie
and repeat the popular Christian prayer
which begins, 'Now | lay me down to
sleep"

Her uncle, the Sultan, had strenuously
objected to her coming to America, she
said, because he feared that she would
come back to Jolo full CT ideas that
might be all right in America but all
wrong in Moroland.
Many letters that came from Tarhata
after she had earned her "sheepskin"
and gone back to live in the royal house
hold of her Uncle Jaramul, seemed to
prove that the Sultan's fears were we'll
grounded and that the Princess days in
America had completely changed her
viewpoint.
"Uncle insists that l marry high
brow Moro" she wrote, "but have told
him that the man l marry must be all
mine, that will not share him with two
or three other wives. Also, that ri
marry for love or not at ALL He's pretty
wild at my independence, but l don't
care"
Other letters attested to her warm
feeling for America and her longing to
see all her campus companions. "Uncle
turns his face toward Mecca several
times day." she wrote, land he insists
that | keep up this silly Moslem custom.

Allah and Mohammed? If she were a
good harem wife to Datu Tahil and a
dutiful niece to Sultan Jaramul, then
she would be even now observing the
Mohammedan "Puasa," one of the five
great rites of Islam, which demands
fasting from sunrise to sunset for a

for they must not take a drop of water,
or bit Of food They cannot smoke,
nor even swallow saliva to relieve their
parched throats, nor do anything that
produces pleasant sensation. Surely.
this ordeal would be painful for The lit
tie Sulu who had found so much delight
in college life in free America.
Other stories that appeared at the
time of her capture by the Filipino
ConStabulary seem to confirm all the re-
ports that she has really gone native"
Some one had sought out the Princess
and found her living in shack on the
edge Of the jungle. She looked not at
all like the trim little ilapper who, but a
few short months ago, cut classes at the
University of Illinois with the most col
leglate of her student friends.
Her pretty white 'neth hal been filed
into the two unsightly rows to be seen
in the mouths of the most ignorant and
primitive Moros. Her trim little bob
had grown out to a bushy black mop
that is characteristic of the Sulu harem
wife. Her bare toes played in the dust
beneath the garishly coored "sarong"
that had taken the place of her short,
tailored skirt.
That her home is far cry from her
comfortable quarters in University Hall
at urbana, Illinois, is shockingly appar-
ent, She lives, cooks, eats and sleeps in
the shack's one room-and there is a
baby that cries in a crib covered with
netting to keep out the jungle insects.
The Princess looks years older than a
girl of twenty-five.
