HAWAII IS AN IDEAL
PLACE To GROW FIGS
So Says Professor koebele, the Terri.
torisI ntomoIosist-Rocky Land
That Could Be Made Productive.

Hawaii is an ideal place for the
Smyrna fig, All the rocky, dry lands
that are going to waste could be util-
tied and made TO yield considerable
income" This was the statement made
to, Republican reporter yesterday
morning by Entomologist hoebele.
Everyone in these Islands,, continu-
ed the professor, thinks of nothing
but sugar. Coffee is being destroyed
and all available lands put into sugar.
But there are acres and acres of rocky,
dry land. which at present yield moth
ing but lantana. which with almost no
expense could be put into figs. In
california. where the fig industry is
still young. the growers are clearing
from $500 to 5000 an acre. Such
profit is not TO be despised. and with
the expenses as small as they are the
fig in iCstry ought TO prove great
success in these Islands
The California fig growers are han
dicapped by one thing and that is eli
matte conditions. Now, Hawaiian zig
growers would have no difficulty in
that line. as the fig would thrive as
well here as on it's native heath. With
the dry weather which comes for such
long intervals in certain parts of these
Islands. the climatic conditions would
be all that could e desired.
Another great trouble the Caiifor-
mia people had to deal win was the
difficulty they experienced in keeping
the fig moth alive. Without these az
months the figs never reach their full
growth and are decidedly seedy and
tasteless Hawaiian planters would
meet with no such difficulty. for the
ig moth would thrive in these lati.
tudes. Properly fertilized, the SMYRNA
fig would increase in size more than
one-third and wonld be in demand all
over the world.
1T lies VIII the people themselves
Men who consider themselves burden
ed with land which at present yields
nothing but lantana and rocks. might.
through the exercise of a little patti
ence, reap considerable income from
otherwise useless land"

Fire at three O'Clock Wednesday
morning totally destroyed the barn on

six head Of good work horses. The
Bruner farm is located four miles
southeast Of GOOdIaud
The ire was discovered By Mr..
Bruuer Who was awakened By. the
barking Of the dog which was in the
barn. The poor animal that gave the
alarm suffered the same fate as the
horses.
Shortly before the FIRE Mr.. Bruner
was out to the barn to Investigate mat
tiers as the dog was barking vigorously.
He looked all around and found every
thing in order and had returned to
bed. He had only been back to the
house a few minutes when the dog
again set up a howl hercer than be
fore. He Immediately went cut and
saw the barn ablsze, but IL was burning
so fast that he was unable to get the
six head Of horses out or save anything
whatever. Besides the horses the barn
contained four sets Of harness, two
saddles and other articles, all of which
were destroyed. Three stacks Of milIet
hay were also burnt.
The barn was Of frame, 52x3O, and
was built only last fall
1t is thought the fire was Of incen-
diary origin. The tracks Of two men
we're found leading into the yard and
then out again. They came from the
west and when they left the Bruner
farm they journeyed north. It is
thought the men who made these
tracks are responsible for the fire. One
of the tracks measured nine inches
and the other eleven. .

SOUND SENSE FROM MR. STEELE.
Why Roundlap Bales are Worth More
Than Square Bales.

Mr.. J. Ell. w. Steele, Secretary of
the Texas Standard Bale Compress
Association, in letter written to the
West Times, June 80, says: ''Let me
say plain word to the plain people:
For the same reason that you pay
more fora good coat than you would
for ragged and sleezysone, so will the
English and German spinner pay you
more for neat, dense, well covered bale
than he will for what is left of an I'M
slightly bag, which has lost half it's
value by wet, waste, pilfery and dirt.
For exactly this reason spinners pay
more for Roundlap than for square
bales of any size whatever. It is pre-
cisely because Roundup bales are
"neat, dense, well covered, /" protected
against fire, moisture, waste, theft and
damage, that they are worth more to
sppinners than an ''ansightly" square
'bag which has lost half its value by
wet, waste, pilfery and dirt" It is
precisely for this reason, also, and be-
cause of the savings made in the wrap
ping, handling and shipment of Round
lap bales that buyers are able to and do
pay for them premium above the val
ne of square bales sufficient to pay the
baling charge and leaye.t the owner a
substantial profit besides.
