Rep. Smith, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported on an item of
$1,000 for encouragement of coffee
culture. They say that while they
believe it is important that the cul
tivation of coffee as we'll as certain
other agricultural products (such as
tobacco, ramie, tea and fruits) should
be encouraged, they cannot recon-
mend the item as set forth in the
bill. If pecuniary aid is to be given
by the Government to these objects
it should be under well considered
and broader plan. They recon-
mend that T. X. r. Amalu, of Hoo
kena, Kona, Hawaii, and another
cultivator be supplied with pulping
machines and that an item for the
purchase of pulping machines to
carry out provisions in the Appro-
priation Bill of 1890 to encourage
coffee culture, $500, be inserted. Re-
port was tabled for consideration
with the Appropriation Bill.
