Dry wealher is interfering ma
terially will) fanners and planters
on Kauai depending on rainfadd
to water their crops. At Kalalieo
Mr. Whittinglon report that corn
planted some time ago is germi
nal ing poorly due to lack of mois
ture. Even a moderate rain
would have been sufficient to stal l
llie crop, along as very light rains
oeeuring frequently have been
sullieient lo keep most standing
crops going, as no reports of abso
lute failure of standing ci;ops on
account 'of drv wealher have been
reported to the county agent so
far.
At Kapaa S. Keliinoi planted!
about 111 acres to corn, and having
irrigating water available he ap
plied an irrigation to the newly
planted seed which resulted in an
excellent stand of corn. Mr. Kelii
noi is now cultivating the crop
and carrying it through without
further irrigation. Others at Ka
paa did sinrtlarly with small
plantings of corn, and so far this
seems to be an excellent practice
where irrigation water is avail
able. Continued irrigation of
corn is not an economical practice
as the irrigation furrows interfere
villi cultivation and the extra
labor of irrigating and continual
ly making new furrows alter ir
rigation is not warranted by the
vield and value of resulting corn
crops. The single irrigation as
applied by Mr. Keliinoi would be
warranted only when the season
is so dry that newly planted seed
will not germinate, and later
rains are expected to carry thru
the crop after it has been sprout
ed.
At Kekaha X. Xasu is carrying
thru a good crop of corn and other
produce in spite of very arid con
ditions. It so happens that Na-
su's land is supplied with mois
ture from an immense water table
which lies only a few feet below
the surface of the soil and is
drawn to the roots of his crops by
capillary attraction. Xasu keeps
the surface of his soil continually
cultivated, resulting in a dry
dust mulch, keeping all Ihe mois
ture raised by capillary attraction
below the surface where the roots
of the crops can use it. This prac
tice also prevents the rise of ihe
water to the surface where it
would evaporate and deposit
alkali.
So far no unfavorable reports
have come from the dry land cane
planters in YVaipouli section of
Kapaa homesteads. Light show
ers have kept things growing ami
the diy wealher has been particu
larly favorable for the harvesting
operations in that section, both
the homesteaders and the planta
tion being far ahead of their har
vesting schedule.
Elmer Cheatham of Waipouli,
reports thai so far Ihe dry wea
lher has not been detrimental lo
crops iiut a conl inual ion of the
same might hinder growth of the,
... i
ratoons on Ileitis only recently i
harvested. Mr. Cheatham says j
that ordinarily the winter rain-j
fall at upper Waiouli is far in
excess of the needs of the planters
and that the warm dry winter has
been favorable for the production!

.LIVE STOCK
i
i
troducing and raising' better live
stock; Tour members have organ
ized themselves as the Anahola
l'ig Club, and have already pur
chased pure bred pigs which Ihe.y
are going lo raise according to
Ihe rules of ihe organization un
der the direction of the county
agent. Although starling small
they will increase their holdings
in good pigs as lime goes on by
breeding the present stock and
acquiring new blood from outside
sources.
Iletter poultry is the slogan of
the Anahola poultry club which
already has six live wires as mem
bers and promises lo have a great
many more as soon as pure bird
eggs and setting hens are avail
able in sullieient quantity to sup
ply others who want to join. The
requirements of Ihe poultry club
are that each member acquire a
setting of pure bred eggs which
are to be hatched and raised ac
cording to rules and princiules
set down by the organization un
der the direction of the county
agent. At present setting hens
are at a premium at Anahola.
Kggs for setting are available for
Ihe present thru the kindness of
Sheriff IJice and Miss IJrcwcr, of
Lihue. P.ocause the eggs are for
educational purposes ami liecause
I hey believe in the good of the or
ganization Sherill' IJice and Miss
ISrewer have agreed to furnish the
setting eggs from pens of pure
bred stock at half price.
According to II. II. Iirodie of
Ilanapepo, the Klcele school, of
which he is principal, will soon
be ready to take advantage of the
opportunity to get selling eggs at
half price and will in a short time
boast of a poultry club of large
membership.
