DIVERGENT VIEWS ON SMALL
FARMING AT HAMAKUA, HAWAII

er specimen right in the town of Hilo
which I have observed at times laden
with fruit. The use OF cacao in the
manufacture of candy as chocolate is
probably its most important use, and
we well know what candy eaters the
American people are. I certainly be-
lieve there is an abundance of land
here suitable to its growth.
PINEAPPLES: This delicious fruit
grows without any apparent effort of
intense cultivation in most all condi
tons of SOIL rainfall, altitude, ETC., as
they can be found growing most ev-
! erywhere on the islands.
! AS the fruit is a most perishable one,
the most profitable way in which it can
become an article of export is as a
canned fruit. AS the United States has
a duty on the canned article this ter
ritory should in time find a large mar
ket for the same on the mainland.
| TEA: This plant seems to thrive
most luxuriantly IN Hawaii, but 1 do
not believe any attempt has yet been
made at it's culture commercially. Tea
culture would certainly require a good
deal of hand labor for picking, and it
may be that this would be too expen-
sive to risk it's cultivation, especially
as the tea-producing countries are in
Asia, where labor is abundant and
cheap.
CASTOR OIL: This plant grows ev-
erywhere on these islands, from sea
level to high elevations, and on account
of its hardness and frequency most
everywhere can be ranked as a weed.
This oil entering the United States
from foreign countries is subject to a
heavy duty, and on that account it's
manufacture here should be profitable.
AS the plant lives here as a perennial
and grows virtually to a tree, yielding
beans for many years. its cultivation ,
on account of its hardness seems to
be an easy matter.
A great many other products could
surely be mentioned which ought to in
time be developed in these islands. In
order to hasten the development of
varied products let the territory look
to Jamaica and learn a lesson as to
what the ultimate results have been
when a single industry has been fos-
cred to the exclusion of others. Our
'emarkable prosperity, due to advan-
ages not possessed by other countries,
S no longer a monopoly. and the time
s ripe for. encoura cement along diver
ified lines. The zenith has been reach
d.
The contention that nothing else will
10 in Hawaii but sugar may have been
veil for the past, for the vision of an
impending change is not a delusive
ream. With diversified products in
ur group we shall go forward even
ually to a more prosperous and great
r future than has been enjoyed in the 8
asst.
The sooner the better for Hawaii

more than five telephones connected
to the same wire, we recommend the
use of the dry-cell type of series tel
%ephOning, costing about $40. This
is the Farmer telephone" We do
not recommend the use of these Sc
ries telephones on lines having more
than five telephones on the same
line, nor do we recommend them for
use on lines which are already equip
ped with bridging telephones.
For lines having more than five
stations we recommend the use of
nothing but bridging telephones,
which are provided with powerful
generators for signaling and ringing
purposes. Such telephones in the
same style of cabinet work sell at
$14 each, f. O.. b. cars Chicago. These
telephones are equipped with eff

people advised them, they would
simply say, "Your preacher is a good
man and he smokes" So on he goes
toward destruction, and oftentimes
the preacher causes the destruction
which he is trying to preach to pre-
vent, viz: the destruction of the Tenn
pie of the Living God (our ,bodies),
and the loss of an immortal soul.
No man should do anything for
money, that has a general tendency
to destroy body, mind or spirit.

Mr.. W. J. Walker complains that
other sections have been given pref
erence in free rural delivery of mails
when our route was laid out first. He
says he can not understand the rea-
son.. One reason that suggests itself
to me rather forcibly is the poor con-
dition of our roads. [ have travelled
over a number of free rural delivery
routes in other States, but I have
never seen n over a road as poor
as most of these in this section. Our
roads are a disgrace to a progressive
trucking and farming section like
ours.-Robt. S. Taylor, Duplin Co.,

How to Build a Rural Telephone Line.
Craven Co., N. G.

44O" " ONAA4 40 @NASRAS 2
For a telephone line less than five
miles in length No. IA B. B. galvan-
lied iron wire is advisable, price of
which is S. per mile, f. O.. b. cars,
Chicago. This is a high grade of
wire, and must not be COMPOUNDED
with No. IA steel or galvanized
fence wire, which can be furnished
at a much lower price. For lines
over five miles in length No. u gal
vanized iron wire is advisable, be-
cause of its increased conductivity,
which makes the operation of the
telephone much more satisfactory.
All spices or joints in the line wire
should be carefully made in accord
ance with the usual manner of MAX
ing telegraph and telephone line
joints, and should properly be solder
ed. As few joints as possible are adj
visable. Short lengths of wire are
therefore Objectionable. The wire
mentioned above comes in half-mile
coils.
Where only a single wire is used
fifteen to twenty poles to the mile
are enough, except where corners are
turned, at which places they should
be closer together.
One of the most important fea-
lures in the construction of a tele-
phone line is the ground wire at both
ends of the line. This refers to cases
where only one wire is used. The
ground wire should be made as fol
lows: Take an iron rod or pipe, at
least fve-eighths of an inch in diam
eter, and six feet long, solder the
wire to one end of it, preferably the
lower end, and drive it into the
ground to its full length. It must
go down to moisture to give good re-
suits. A ground rod driven in a eel
lar is generally the best. If the
ground wire is not constantly in
moist earth the telephones will not
work up to their best form.
Telephone poles of white cedar
twenty to twenty-five feet in length
can be obtained from IS cents to 81
per pole delivered. Oak brackets
may be had at 2 cents each; pony
glass insulators at 3 cents each; two
pin cross arms at y cents each, f. O.

TOBACCO USING CONDEMNED.
Mr.. Lane Severely Criticizes the Habit
Farm Notes from Craven.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

for housing crops the past week. Cot
ton is opening rapidly, too fast for
a good crop, and much that is open
ing-has been fastened by rust which
has prevailed more or less over the
county, but not so much in the east
ern part of the county as in the west
ern part. Corn crops are the best for
years past, and the contrast with the
very short crop of last year is so
marked that farmers are buoyant and
hopeful, Notwithstanding last years
depression.
Tobacco farmers are so jubilant
over their returns, that many of
them don't seem to find a good use
for their extra money, and much is
wasted in drunkenness. From the
remarks OF many as to their tobacco
acreage next year, it would seem that
a very severe tobacco craze is likely,
and should 1T come, there will hardly
be enough food raised to feed the to-
bacco farm ers. They laugh now at
the poor cotton farmers, but if the
tobacco area is increased as threat
ened, they may have to mourn their
folly AMI bow submissively to the
corn and meat raiser.
To some Of us this entire tobacco
business is a nuisance. If Paul was
right when lie said, "God forbid that
I should DO evil that good might
come" then the whole tobacco bust
is wrong, for it brings in, at
times. a large venue to the raiser
and manufacturer, but loss of money,
brain, and general manhood to thou
sands upon thousands of our boys,
young men, and even old men of our
State, and after q careful review, and
preview of the tobacco business, I
feel no hesitancy in pronouncing the
entire business an unmitigated evil
from beginning to end. Talk about
revenue, Cant do without money"
etc. When we compare money with
true manhood, and ruin the latter to
get the former, surely our kind Heav-
emily Father is displeased, and the ele-
ments of rue manhood are rapidly
waning in the habitual slaves of to-
bacco, especially the cigarette smok-
er. and there are hundreds of thOu-
Sands of this latter class. Surely we
need stronger legislation or more
and better work in our common
schools to show the boys of our land
what a curse they are voluntarily
bringing on themselves by the use of
tobacco in n form, and especially
the cigarette.
When will our teachers and preach
ers arouse themselves to the fact that
they are largely responsible for the
continuance of this tobacco nui-
sance? We actually had a preacher
a few years ago on our circuit, who
chewed and smoked tobacco. Some
of the young people of If communi-
ty that had been taught that the use
of tobacco was injurious, had quit,
but when this preacher came around

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices 142 points higher,
and changed but little during the balance
of the session. The commission house contin-
gent had very few orders in hand, and from
the start business was very quiet. Early news
favored 0 higher market; Liverpool was fully /
point better than expected, with spot sales IN
that market reaching 1900 bales ut full prices.
Again, receipts gave promise OF falling hehind
those OF last year several thousand bales; spot
market nows was firm and cotton goods accounts
We're very encouraging. The official estimates
for to-morrows New Orleans and Houston re-
ceipts capped the climax, Indicating a sharp
reduction in teh movement generally. But with
all this array of bullisb conditions. the market
showed little desire to work higher; in fact,
the failure Of prices to respond created feel
Ing of distrust among conservative longs, and
they made haste to nnloac as matter OF pre-
caution. Persistent Wall Street support under
500 for July held the market tolerubly steady
until the last hour, when prices slowly eased
on under steady realizing by commission houses.
At the close the market was quiet and net I'M
changed to 8 points lower. Some 5000 March
notices were issued carly in the day. but were
readily taken up by prominent spot cotton
houses.
