EXPERIMENT STATIONS IN
HAWAII AND PORTO RICO.

In the act making appropriations for
the L. :. department of agriculture for
the present fiscal year Congress pro-
vlded for the inauguration of eXpen-
ment stations in the islands of Hawaii
and Porto Rico. In accordance with
THIS provision, the department has
taken preliminary steps TO determine
the best plan of operations III each
case and the subjects which are in most
need of immediate attention. The
work has been placed IN charge of the
office of experiment stations, and the
following Information in relation TO
the action taken by that office is from
Experiment Station Record, Vol. XII,
No. | soon to be issued.
Prof. ). y. Knapp, of Louisiana, has
been selected toinvestigate the agricul-
tural conditions and possibilities of
Porto Rico, and went to the island in
June. He will study the existing ag-
rlculiural conditions, the lines of eX
perimental investigation which should
DC undertaken there, locations suitable
Tor stations, and the approximate ex-
pense of inauguraiing and maintaining
the work. He will also look INTO the
feasibility of undertaking cooperative
experiments with the residents of Porto
Klco and the best means of reaching
the people through publications, de-
monstrauon experiments, and other
| wise.
DIR. w. G.. Stubbs, director of the
louisiana experiment stations, will
make the preliminary survey of the
conditions in the Hawaiian Islands.
lie sailed for lIawan about the middle
OF July and will spend the month of
August in the islands. The conditions
there differ from those in Porto Rico,
as a station for experiments in sugar
production has been maintained by
private bencliccncc for number OF
years. The lines in which invcsti.
CATION Is most needed, the possibility OF
greater diversilicatiOn of agriculture
the expense of the work, and tn.
means OF disseminating Information
will be carefully inquired into. This
Will probably prove profitable liel,
for investigations on the use ant
economy of water in irrigation, since
according to reliable reports, IN IL,
other place is so much money cxpcnd
ed for pumping water for irrigation
Some pumps are said to be raising 30,
100000 gallons of water per day from
a depth of 500 feet, and the expcns
of irrigation in some cases reaches a
high as Sl25 per acre annually.

THRIFT VS.. SnITT.-The trend of
development-how the farmer and the
horticulturist follow the lumbcrman
and the turpcntinc man may be seen
along any of the railroads in the pine
belt of Georgia. Attractive and pro-
ductive farms, orchards, vineyards and
gardens now occupy spaces that were
formerly wild woods, and from time
to time one sees herd of fine cattle
where formerly only scrubs" of the
pine barrcns were to be found. AS
noticeable, too, has been the change in
the character OF the majority of popu-
latlon of such sections. Formerly they
were peopled principally by rough
nOmadic, shiitlcss and often criminal
negroes, who worked about the saw
mills or upon the turpcnllnc farms.
Where the farms and the orchards
have sprung up this element has
practically disappeared, and III its place
has come class of intelligent and
thrifty farmers, who are homc-buildcrs
and most desirable citizens.-Suru,,nh

manifested spirit and enterprise of

tion that there is another matter of
vital Importance to the community
which perhaps The Optic would
like to see also refer to the abso-
lutte and effective suppression of GER
tain houses of a questionable charac-
ter which are now f1ourishing in
some parts of the municipality and
which are source of constant men
ace to the welfare of the community
and are demoralizing to the extreme
That these houses are nuisances and
that the council has ample power to
abate them, is beyond question. There
is an ordinance pretending to cover
this question but it seems that this
ordinance is too narrow to blot out
the evil. have been informed that
a certain young man presented this
very proposition to the council, but
they have not yet taken any action
effective enough to produce the de-
sired results. This is certainly one
Of the greatest evils municipality
can be subjected to and until abated
will remain a blot of the darkest hue
on the city's fair name. City fathers,
will you longer permit,by acquies-
cence this evil to continue?
