at oes there at 65 and IS cents the
pusael about what it cost the deal :
ers to buy and ship them to those
points, and they wanted to know if
the Greeley dealers could not remedy
the evil. The freight to Texas points
is 54 cents the hundred and the price
paid farmers in the Greeley belt for
their product was Is cents the hun
dred pounds, SO the Greeley dealers,
as we'll as the Texas dealers, felt they
were up against a losing proposition.
''Then the United Produce men
turned their attention to other
points for markets and thought the
Missouri river section a good place.
But inquiry there proved that it was
worse east than south. Missouri
river points are the natural markets
for Wisconsin and Minnesota dealers:
those states had had wet season and
the potatoes were in a rotting condi-
tion; but to save what they could be-
fore the crops became worthless they
inundated Missouri river points with
them. This of course placed the
Greeley dealers between two COM
mercial evils. Then another con.

DIRECTOR SMITH TALKS
TALKS TO HIL0 ASSEMBLY
CROPS THAT CAN BE GROWN IN
HAWAII DEVELOPMENT OF
NATURAL PRODUCTS is
ENCOURAGED.

Hilo. Oct. 9.-The meeting OF tho
Hilo Agricultural Society last Satur.
day was the most interesting one held
since the society was organized. The
attendance was large and among those
present was Jared Smith, director OF
the U. S. Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton of Honolulu. The floor was given
to Mr.. Smith and his talk was full Of
Interesting and valuable information.
He first stated that the Federal Gov.
ernment through the Agricultural De-
partment was determined to promote
diversified agriculture in Hawaii in ev.
cry possible way along the lines OF
greatest pecuniary benefit to Hawaii
and her people. He is abundantly sat.
lsfied with the work done so far and
Is encouraged with the prospect. Mr..
Smith said he has formed a deep and
believes that prosperity, equal to tho
fOrdest dreams Of the optimst is in
store for the people.
When asked what products would
best reward the champions Of diversi.
fed agriculture, Mr.. Smith said there
are many. He said that the question
of ability to produce could not he
questioned as that had been demon.
strated in many lines. He said the
problem Is that Of market for the
stun We can grow. and emphasized the
necessity Of growing staple products
tor export.
Among these he mentioned tobacco,
with which he Is experimenting on the
Louisson coffee ranch In Hamakua. He
stated that the experiment had not
proceeded far enough to demonstrate
the outcome, but that his department
is hopeful Of proving that tobacco can
be proftably grown on Hawaii. He
named manioCa as another staple for
which a good market is assured. Ma.
nioc starch is preferred by the manu-.
facturers Of textiles and paper for siz.
ing purposes. and manioc starch com.
mands a good margin over any OF the
mainland starches. Mr.. Smith also
mentioned the castor bean as n prod.
net of certain profit. even though not
a bonanza crop. He recommended the
growing Of cabbage and beans for the
local market, stating that 1900 tons Of
beans are imported annually.
! One OF the natural products of the
Islands is ava root. This commands
price OF $3.50 TO 5000 per ton. The
preparation for market consists OF sun
drying and packing in 4O-pound bags.
It Is used in the drug trade and in the
manufacture Of proprietary medicines,
Sisal was named as n product OF prom.
lse and pineapples and bananas were
discussed as surethings. Mr.. Smith
says the Hawaiian grown pineapple is
superior to any other offered in tho
market and the only drawback Is that
not enough are offered. Mr.. Smith
named the pineapple and the banana
as articles Of agriculture which arc
beyond the experimental stage.
The vanilla bean was mentioned as
n crop, which while grown in NapOOpoo
Is not as promising as others TOR this
country. MIR. Smith complimented the
members of the Agricultural Society
and asked that papers read at its meet
lings be forwarded TO him for publiCa'
tion in the Department bulletins.
