.sugar cane phials are growing about
S to 10. Inches high from tho ground.
We have built n very high Btono

that tho cows cannot come In and

are about 5 lo ft feel high and It feet

A number of liov.i. called tho fit

Tho hoys have made six long beds, I
fcot wldo and 27 feet long. Theso
beds nre In the form of rectangles.
.We lime made the beds with black
coll. for It lit the boat loll for vege
tables. We linyo four llttlo nuVsery
pitches ono for Hie tomatoes, ono
for cabbages, one for the carrots, and
one for the beets.
When they were about six Inches

Dear Sir:--1 am going to v rile you
a few lines telling about my life.
I nm n Filipino 19 years of ago. 1
was born In Vignn, Ilocos Sur prov
ince. When I was yet six years old, I
began to study Spanish language, un
til tho year 1902, because tho Ameri
cans enmo nt my own town anil mado
war.
In 1903 I began to study Kugllsh.
On Juno Ulh. 19') I. I was appointed
an n Carrlo school teacher in Ayiisan,
vlgan, Ilocos Sur province, but ro
Blgncd my iiosltlun In October 1905
because I liked to study moro; so I
asked my father to send 1110 to Ma
nila, P. I., to accomplish my studies
In outer not to bo Interrupted.
My father agreed to whnl I request
ed. 1 went lo Manila and I wu.s study
ing In Comr Melslc lntorr.ii-di.ito
brhool. My father tep.t P20.00 per
month for my living there.
When I was yet ill Manila, I used
In go In (he school every day and my
way is In Han Fernando street
Ono crly morning when I went to
trhocl, I mot my friend Nicolas VI
urge, unci my school male in Vigan.
I wondered very much why he wan
thcie, and I thnimh that ho comet also
In .Manila to accomplish bin studies.
I spoko tu-mTn for ina.iy liniirs. mid
Irom that day, I did not enter In our
school, Ho said (lint ho comes to
America with many Ilocanos to work
en plantation, and ho Invited 1110 also
to como. becaueo ho told mo that thero
Is a school whero wo can learn In tho
night tlmo, and beside wo havo to live
In tho city, not Id the Cnrrlo.
I went to ask Mr. Alexander If it Is
true. Ho said that It is true, so I
enmo without knowing of my father.
Wo begun to sail Nov. 14tli 1907.
Mill we arrived III Hawaii on Novem
ber 15th, 1807. As soon us wo arrived
In tho port of Illlo, wo lifted our lings,
nnd wo went to tho station. Tho train
soon enmo, nnd conveyed us to Olnu
1IH miles.
During the days that 1 worked I
plnntntlon I observed that I can not
secure knowledge thero, so I camo to

Now I am working for Mrs. I.ows,
and sho sends mo In school to study.
