During the past few days we believe that Il

with the amount Of cotton that will come
into sight between now and next Fridny
This comparative falling of may possibly
stimulate values during the next week or

last year fell of largely and we expect a
comparative Increase this season in the
interior we look for a decline IN prices ana
a lower level in values in all the markets

alive to the effects which the forests
have over the stream flow. The for
ests actually increase the rainfall. The
temperature in the forest Is lower than
in the surrounding country, and when
clouds come there not drop will
fall, but when they strike the noun
talns where the timber is, the rain
comes down. In places where the
mountains are bare the rain does not
come. That has been proven. The
planters feel the need of forests, but II
does not appear to me they have seen
the need at headwaters. Those who are
acquainted with the island of Hawaii
know that as you come from Hamakua
to Waimea and down through Pahala,
most of the slopes cannot be used for
sugar or grazing. The forests, II pre-.
served there, will increase the rainfall.
