and his doings by every physician in
Honolulu except one or two-prob-
ably only one-whose support was
well paid for in official emoluments.
If we were in the position of the
Board, we should consider the dis
approval of those who endorse its
management under Mr.. Gibson, as one
of the highest compliments we could
receive. As nothing definite is adj
vanced against the personal char
acter, or the official and professional
qualifications of the Board or its
appointees, the communication in
question requires very little further
notice. 1t may be well enough,
perhaps, to correct one inaccuracy
which we assume to be unin-
territorial. The physicians to the
Insane Asylum and the Jail are not
appointed by the Board of Health,
and are in no way under their iuris-
diction.

EXPERIMENTS IN BEET RAISING.

Owing to the success of sugar
beet culture in France and Germany,
the impression seems to have become
pretty we'll diffused throughout the
United States that this new and pro-
ftable industry could be carried on
to advantage almost anywhere along
the middle and southern temperate
belt, where a reasonably good soil
and fair amount of moisture could
be found. Some recently recorded
facts which have come to our notice
suggest that the range of climate
and soil adapted to the profitable
prosecution of beet culture may not
be as large as commonly supposed.
For instance, the experiments
made in 1856 and 1887 under the
auspices of the Pennsylvania State
College in the culture of the sugar
beet have not given satisfactory re
suits. Great care was taken in both
years, the ground having been loos-
ened to the depth of fifteen inches,
thoroughly pulverized and fertilized,
and the plants properly cultivated
while growing. A little better crop
was obtained in 1887 than in 1886,
but the yield and inferior saccharine
quality in both years was discourag
ing.
Central Pennsylvania is rather
choice agricultural region, and pro
duces a variety of fruits and vege-
tables in great abundance. and per
lection. The virtual failure of an
experiment of this kind in such
locality, particularly when tried, as
in the present case, with the advan-
tages of careful cultivation and in
telligent supervision. is not without
a certain significance. OF course it
furnishes no proof, nor even proba-
bility that there are not large areas
in the United States where the sugar
beet can be raised to as good advan-
tage as anywhere else in the world.
1t does suggest, however, consider
able modification of the over sang
uine expectations which, we fancy,
are somewhat prevalent throughout
the middle States of the Union.
