A tiny mango tree.–At Kahapula’s1 place in the uplands of Kalihi, there is a short mango tree, its height not more than an iwilei.2 But it is amazing that while it is so tiny, it produces so much fruit. Should there be many of those mango trees in one place, there would be nothing more beautiful to see.

It is said that the people of Kau are soon to be in trouble because of famine. This is because they are all busy collecting pulu (the wool from tree fern), and are not planting taro; therefore they are faced with this problem.

RICE.—We are overjoyed to see that rice is planted by one of our friends, S. Kamakahiki, in Hana, East Maui; there is a lot of grain and it is of good quality; why O Friends, are you dallying on planting this good source of money? We are amazed at the small number of people undertaking the growing of rice in Hana, for this is how it is, according to the letter of S. Kamakahiki, like this:
“I am the only one growing Rice here in Hana; I am harvesting the Rice and storing it at my house; I am filled with joy that I have found this good occupation.”

O Kuokoa Newspaper; Aloha oe:
I am reporting to you that the Cotton [Pulupulu] (Sea Island Cotton) is sprouting well in Waimea, Koolauloa, Oahu; you will surely rejoice with my fellow Cotton planters living in other places of these Islands, who planted this thing, Pulupulu, like me.
In the month of February of this very year I planted this Cotton field; it is perhaps an Acre and a half large, and because of the strong wind and the saturating showers of those days, the sprouting was late and slow; and some of it was eaten [amu ia] by army worms [“moo that sleep in the earth”] (kupa). In the month of April, that problem was over, and now, the plants have triumphed; they are growing well; it is like grape vines that are crawling here and there, and the bolls are developing; some are almost mature; I look over their bolls with satisfaction. I am not the only one who planted Cotton here in Waimea, but there are others who planted as well, because of your encouragement.
J. M. Kalanipoo.
