that Speaker Reed will allow the

Professor KoebeIs states Opinions on
the Various Districts.
Professor Koebele arrived in
Hilo Wednesday, coming over
land from Kopa, the Hilo Tribune
reports. Since he was here be-
fore he has visited Puma, Olaa
and Kona, and has much to say
Of interest regarding these places.
The Professors visit to Puma was
in the interest of the coffee plan
,ers there who were panic stricken
by the appearance of a fungus,
which they feared to be the Guat-
enoala leaf disease. This proved
fortunately to be an erroneous
oplDIon, the fungus being one in
dlgenous to the country and found
in a slight degree on nearly all
vegetation. When tree or plant
becomes weak through lack OF
nouriehment or some other IN
favorable circumstance, the fun
gus develops, as is the case with
the red spider. Professor Koe-
belle says that those plantations
in Puma which have suffered
severely are the ones with too
much rock and too little soil re-
sulting in both lack of nourish-
ment for the tree and poor drain
age.
Olaa the Professor finds in
very satisfactory condition, The
whole district giving promise of
rreat coffee production in the
near future. The elevation of
large portion of the district makes
the age of bearing much later
than on the lowlan6s. He still
believes there is too much rain,
there, but finds the moisture de-
creasing as the country is opened
up.
Kona is ont of sight according
to the Government chronological,
nor are there any blights or pests
there, The coming crop will be
the largest in the coffee growing
history of the district. The china ate
Professor Koebele believes the
finest for coffee growing to be
found on the island.
Kona has It's sugsr boom, as
we'll as Olss, and many people are
putting in cane around Ksilua, as
we'll as the Kona Sugar Co, which
will have. at least two thousand
acres. Both cane and coffee are
growing in Kona as high as $500
feet, and doing we'll. Speaking OF
sugar, by, the way, the Professor
says that he considers Olaa =
splendid district for the crop.

The Constitution announces a new
contest, beginning April LIST to run
until Adjust 31st. upon the number
of bales in the cotton crop for the
season 1898 80. There are three
prizes offered for April the first s..
500 for the exact, or nearest to the
exact estimate of the number OF
bales in the crop; $1,000 for the next
nearest estimate, and $1,000 for the
next nearest estimate, provided the
three are received during April; this
makes totel sum of $4,000, a very
handsome prize for a newspaper
contest
Last year the Constitution paid
$4,000 to Mr. ID. z. McLaurin, of
Clio, S. O., for his estimate (Which,
bv the way, was the "nearest7 and
not the exact estimate) on the cotton
crop, and eeveral other psizes were
paid ranging from $4,000 to $4,000

crop and its possible bearing upon all
other lines of business. The pres
ent is one of unusual interest, fol-
lowing fust after one that reached
