HAUULU, KooLAULoA.

Here we find in DIR. a. Il. Carte. "a
successful cultivatcr OF the soil. Two
years ago he purchased the home stead
of the late w. c. Lane. 100 acres. Mos.
of this land was then covered with hou
and lantana. Today this land Is under
cultivation. The warm side. near The
sea, is planted with tomatoes. chill.
corn, beans. peppers and other stand
ard vegetables. On the hill sides Are
twelve acres in Samoan lime trees and
several acres in papaias. Dr.. Carter
says his 100 acres Of land nets him now
$50 dollars per acre. He has twenty
five acres in rubber. coffee. cocoa, ba
nanas, pineapples, vanilla, tobacco. cot
ton. corn, beans and thilis Is well as
swine and poultry breeding.
The papaia is great favorite OF the
Doctor. The juice is easily prepared.
The unripe fruit has to be SCARED or
lined some one-fourth of an inGi deep
with sharp knife daily. AMI the Juice
caught and dried upon sheess az glass,
when il becomes at once a marketable
commodity. The actice principle IN the
papaia is in much esteem as medic
inal agent. Even the leaves are hung
up and dried in the shade and sent to-
Europe for medical purposes. The
pulp, seed and small fruit o. the pa
paia is fed to pigs and pouit:y. DIR.
Carter saws one acre OF paoaia VIII
feed and fatten ten hogs.
Tomatoes not sent 80 Honolulu mar
ket are made into catsup and pep
pers into the we'll known and fayorite
cream of pepper. 4 valuable OIL is
made from the kukui nut. The nut is
steamed. cracked and the oil extracted.
The shell is used as fuel to generate
steam. The gathering of this nut gives
employment TO number of natives
men, women and children.
DIR. Carter says his 100 acres of land
nets him $50 a year row and that in
two years more he will bring Il up tC
$500 per acre. Among other steps
taken to accomplish the best results Is
the manufacturing on thu place o'
canned and preserved fruits and veg
etables in glass AMI otherwise. The
excellency of our tomatoes and pep
pers has been amply demonstrated.
