FARMING METHODS IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS DESCRIBED BEFORE CAMPELLSTOVN GRANGE

(Special to The Palladium) i OAMPBELLSTOWN, Ohio. April 28. Roads In the Philippine Islands excel those In Preble county, Ohio, . according to a statement made at the JackBon Grange meeting Thursday night by James O'Hara, veteran civil service educator, who Is home from the Philippines for a visit.

Mr. O'Hara has been in the islands

for 21 years and in point of service Is j the oldest educator in the Philippines. He is stationed at a point about 20 miles from Manila on the Island of Luzon, to which station he will return after his vacation. Credit for the difference was given by the speaker, to the system of maintenance. With good roads once established, every care Is taken to prevent deterioration. Each kilometer (about five-eighths of a mile) of road or camino, is given over' to a caminero or road supervisor, who is solely respon

sible for Its condition." These roadmakerB may be seen all day working with wheelbarrows, materials and

tools, repairing holes, maintaining the grades and drainage. The system is not as expensive as it would be in this country, on account of the cheapness of labor, and the camineros also are held responsible for the road expenses. Slow Plowing Speed A plowing speed of one and a half miles to two miles an hour 13 usual

with the Philippine draught animal, the carabao or water buffalo, said the speaker, in talkiag on agriculture of the islands. In addition to the slow speed, the plowman may be inconvenienced at any time in hot weather, by the carabao's sudden decision to seek a mud bath in a deep wallow, taking the plow and plowman with him. A walking plow, turning a four inch

furrow, instead of. the 14 to 16 inch plow common in the cornbolt, and guided by a single handle, is the common implement. Riding plows are never seen and tractors are used only on the largest haciendas or farms. Xo cultivation Is given the growing crops i and no fertilization is ever necessary, the native soil fertility being unimpaired as yet. Great Rice Country Horses are never used as beasts of burden except for hauling and even for this are td be seen only in the largest cities, said Mr. O'Hara, "Rice, hemp, and tobacco, with cocoanut gathering and sugar making are the principal agricultural pursuits of the islands," said Mr. O'Hara. "Rice is sown in seed beds and the plants are later transplanted to fields which have been worked up into mud beds. Rice Is the largest crop of the islands and is the bread stuff of all Orientals. Native sugar mills are very wasteful, losing 55 per cent of the juice, which is pressed out by huge rollers turned by sweeps drawn by carabaos. American mills are being set up, and have effected a great saving in some sections. Warning against too much education

was sounded by the speaker, who explained that to allow a few to get too far ahead of the masses would only

and many other purposes, sometimes attains a height of 90 feet.

- In house construction, the bane of Philippine builders is the white ant,

which is infrequently seen, but. continually works on the interior of wood

used in any building. Often a timber may be completely tunnelled out by their tiny burrows on the inside while still retaining an appearance of solidity on the exterior, and many instances are told of unsuspecting newcomers to

the islands who have bought fine, solidly constructed houses apparently in perfect condition, yet so riddled by the ants that an apparently solid two-inch oaken door could be punctured by a child's finger as if it were paper, while

the house was likely at any moment to collapse about the ears of its new purchasers if they entered. Pine is espe

cially relished by the ants, its flavor being very pleasing to them. "Ciphering Match" After the meeting, the speaker, James O'Hara, engaged in a "ciphering match" with his brother, John W. O'Hara, whom he is visiting, and later

with Harry Sullivan and E. E. McClellan, township school superintendent. Spectators who were greatly delighted by the informal contest, declared that neither of the brothers had lost any of the boyhood skill for which they were renowned in their home community.

When a candidate tells you how much he admires the man who is running against him, you have a right to laugh. Brothers Lebo, Highly and Bates are Post C's delegates to the national convention to be held at Atlantic City, also our able secretary, Brother Marcus Hasty. The wives of the first

three named gentlemen are all very busy now making their husbands bath

ing suits, and many have been the

meetings of these estimable ladies, and many the suggestions that have been made as to how. these suits should be cut. Mrs. Lebo wanted to make just the one suit do for all, as it would economical and save much

time and trouble, but Mrs. Bates knew

what she was talking, about when she

remarked, "Why, Walter could never

wear a bathing suit that would be

made to fit Mr. Lebo, unless he would

turn up the bottoms of the suit a foot

or two." About what Marcus will wear.

He will just take along one of those

"Snowy White Wings" suit one sees him in sometimes at his factory, and if any of those, "sea nymphs" come

"snooping" around, they might get car

ried back to Indiana.

before the board. A special meeting of the board will be held on next Saturday night, April 29, at which time some important business will be brought before the directors, and a full attendance is desired. The meeting was presided over by President Charles B. Beck, with Brother Marcus Hasty as secretary. ; Brother John M. Lontz with Mrs.

Lontz recently returned from a sea

voyage, which carried them as tar as the Panama Canal. They sailed out of New York on board the steamship

"Toloa," one of the United Fruit com

pany's boats. The first port of call

was the city of Havana, chief seaport

of the island of Cuba, as well as the

largest city; a typical Spanish community, quaint and interesting. From

Havana to Jamaica, the first landing on the island being at Port Antonia,

where the Lontz party remained until the following day when they motored across the island, meeting their bobt at Kingston. The motor trip was most interesting, driving over a fine boulevard, through fields, of sugarcane and groves of orange, lemon and banana. Jamaica is an English possession, and the island is said to contain about a

million people, and of this vast number there are but 40,000 whites, mostly English. The next landing was at Panama, where a trip was made through the great canal and which is the property of our own United States. This wonderful piece of engineering

stands as a monument to the talents of

some of the brightest minds in all. the

world, and cost the United States gov

ernment some four hundred millions of money. The sanitary conditions are marvelous, and every foot of ground in

the canal zone is kept scrupulously clean, not a fly or mosquito to be seen

in Uncle Sams territory. Horses

that are used in and about the Panama

towns are worked one week, thorough

ly washed, and given one week's rest, and in this manner they are kept in

the best of condition. Desolate old Panama City, was visited, and here, where at one time in the long ago, was a flourishing city of 30,000, people, nothing remains now but the ruins of

the old cathedral of San Geronimo, which may be seen from the walls of the new city. Old Panama City was destroyed by Henry Morgan, the English pirate, in 1671. Henry Morgan, afterwards Sir Henry, played an active part in this part of the world, his cruelties often whitewashed because of his achievements. From Panama

to Costa Rica, the land of the banana, ! I

the landing port being Port Limon, and from there to the interior of the country, visiting San Jose, the capital, and having some 50,000 inhabitants. The country of Costa Rica is exceedingly primitive, but the country has dveloped some of recent sears by reason of the investment of English capital, and also the investment of money and the activities of the United Fruit company in developing the banana plantations.' At San Jose, the capital, on every Sunday afternoon a band concert Is helcPin the plaza, and here i3 the meeting place or social side of life.
