raised produce must be created and it
must be sold at a minimum cost for
charges.
How is this to be accomplished?
Most producers do not live near
enough to Honolulu to come into town
and sell their products, and those who
do, cannot afford the time.
There are two ways of meeting the
situation. One is for the small farmers
to form a mutual organization, which
shall handle their produce, dividing the
expense pro rata.
The difficulty with this plan is that
the producers are scattered, do not
know each other and do not possess
capital enough to pay for the neces-
sary plant. There would doubtless also
be loss to begin with, which they
are not in a position to meet.
The other method is to have the gov
eminent market keeper receive and sell
all locally produced articles, charging
a small commission, say ten per cent,
for so doing, and renting the net pro-
ceeds to the consignor.
The government has the plant. Only
about one-half of the market building
is occupied. A very few dollars for fit
tings and a cheap clerk would be all
that would be required
Certainly no government assistance to
the people would interfere less with
private business and 1opa x,o,,Id ~
more justif1able in its benefcent re-
suits. Will not some legislator Secure
the passage of an act providing for this
small assistance? If so the Advertiser
will undertake to have an act drafted
at its own expense.-Ed. Advertiser.

PRACTICAL HELP
FOR SMALL FARMERS

Editor Advertiser: 1 appreciate your
efforts in behalf of small farming, but 1
suggest that lack of land and difficulty
in production are not the only nor the
principal troubles. After land is OBJ
tanned and crops are produced, a mar
ket must be had, or the small farmer
is as badly of as though he had no
land, or his crops had failed. The mar
ket in Honolulu is but small, but even
it is of little value to the small farmer.
The local dealers all have their arrange
ments made to import fruit and vege-
tables from San Francisco and will not
buy that locally produced. They state
that there is not enough produced To-
cally to assure a steady supply, and
consequently they must secure a sup
ply from abroad, and having done so
they are unable to handle any more.
This may be sound from the dealers
standpoint, but it means failure to the
small farmer, who has troubles enough
to raise crop without having it left
on his hands when it has been raised
In addition to the above mentioned
difficulty. it is fact that If the local
dealers do take some produce for sale,
as they occasionally do, their charges
are so high that there is no profit left
Before small farming can be a sue
cess here, some means must be devised
for disposing OF produce and at a rea-
sonable cost.

Dear Sirs:-Rs this Is the season Of

Last season was our first venture in
your field. Previous to ,hs, ,ine you
were charged S per cen; commission on

for your labor7 Practically nothing.

said they would never plant another can

We received when we first asked the
growers for their patronage.
We knew there was money to be made
in growing eanialoupes in your section
provided the grower received homes,
treatment and We urged all who wrote
us TO plan, eantaloupes and we reduced
the commission to 10 per cent.
We are no; in any combine and con-
sider 10 per cent fair rate Of commits
sion. All those who followed our advice
last season and planted eantaloupes are
well satisfied with the results. Some Of
them followed our advice. but entrusted
the marketing TO others. We do not find
fault with them. but having shown them
tha, by fair treatment in the matter Of
marketing il pays TO grow eantaloupes,
we think we should be entitled 10 some
Of the rewards in the way Of increased
business.
We are in the business TO stay. We do
not expect to make fortune in one or
two seasons at the expense of the grow
er and then retire. Our record Of nearly
forty years in the commission business in
Chicago should be sufficient guarantee
for anyone.
We are now signing UP contracts for
1908 and would like to hear from all
growers, whether largo or small. We
have no favorites: we treat all alike. and
take pleasure in referring TO all who did
business with us last season. Write us
for blank form Of contract, or write us il
there is any point on which you wish in
formation and we will oheerfully fur

shallower plowing as the growth Of the
plant advanced.
D. L. Joehnck talked on "lrrigation." "
He strongly advised fall watering OF beet
lands and gave reasons for it. Irrigation
through burrows was much to be pre-
ferred to flooding. In irrigating up seed
common mistake was to try to cover
too much ground with small stream Of
water. They failed to irrigate thorough
ly and reach the seed. irrigating with
muddy water called for more care than
with clear. for it did not seep through as
readily as clear water did. 1t was i'm
portant to see that your muddy water
was not cementing up your soil instead
Of watering it. A planter must know his
soil as well as his water in order to
know what he was doing with water.
Some land irrigated much easier than
other. Then there should be some regard
paid to economy in using water. II was
not sufficient to turn the water in at one
end Of the field and turn it out at the
other. Irrigation. like other phases Of
beet growing. called for intelligence and
Judgment On the point Of sediment in
irrigation water being fertilizer. the
speaker gave some analyses that showed
it was not valuable. the proportion Of or
ganic matter being comparatively small.
p. X. Blinn talked on "Siloing." The
aim in sloing should be to preserve the
beet in naturally fresh condition and
prevent freezing. Using tops TO silo was
found to pack too closely and spoil the
beets by preventing ventilation. Tho sio
piles should be small. The topping Of
beets to be sliced should be carefully
done to guard against sprouting. Top
close. ventilate well. Beets ought to be
sliced at latest by the middle Of Novem-
Der. but for want Of labor some were
sliced this year much later.

and on other things.

CHICAGO MARRIAGE MART.
While There's Life There's Always
Hone of Another Match,

Baltimore Sun: Recent dispatches
have told the up-to-date story OF a
Chicago lady, Mrs. Grace Smell Coffin
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. aged 81,
who is seeking a divorce from Mr.. Lay
man, said to be her fifth husband, and
who, in anticipation of success in her
suit, has Just telegraphed to the mate
from whom she has been thrice di-
yorced: Please just marry me just
nee more, Frank, dear" Mrs. Smell
and so on'-as the account for the the
sake OF brevity calls her-was married
to Mr. Layman less han a year ago;
but he has no money, and her heart
reverts to Frank Coffin, her first, Sec
ond and fourth husband. The lady has
found time, Notwithstanding her mat
imonia occupation, to cultivate liter
allure and is a writer OF Her
own career affords her, doubtless, many
romantic incidents. The heroine of five
weddings and five divorce suits cannot
but be a walking encyclopedia of SEN
timent, having over and owe sounded
all the octaveS of nuptial rapture and
despair. To her practiced ear the we'd
ding march Is a familiar tune, n she
could give points to lady reporters
whose function 1t is to describe we'd
ding presents and wedding trousseaus
-indescribable lingerie, g~oing-away
dresses, coming-home dresses, etc.
Mrs. So-on's five marriages suggest, in
view of her age, an average duration
for each union and disunion of aboxs
three years, whereas trousseaus ara
calculated to last five years. She Is
therefore probably the possessor Of a
| considerable accumulation of lingerie
and dresses suited to all occasions,
from the wedding breakfast to the di-
vorce court" Should Frank dear
consent to wed her again he need not
fear that he will soon be called on for
an outfit.
But Mr.. Coffin is said to be slow to
acquiesce in her anticipatory offer of
her hand. To her tender message-fG-
1t seems to be In good form in Chicago
for the lady to "propose"-Frank re-
plies rather unfeelingly, N more at
present" he says: Il think I've mar
ried you for positively the last time
But for this Chicagoan, as for the Wife
of Bath, there is no positively the last
time" for while there is life there is
hope Of another match. Mrs. Soon
complains Of the divorce law-that she
has to wait a whole year before she
can get her divorce. Isn't II dread
full" she eXclaims. The world moves
fast nowadays, but it is all too slow fol

farming districts Of New England. The
young folks had banded themselves to-

the winter, and were about to celebrate
the last dance Of the season. as we'll as a
couple OF engagements which had resulted
from the assemblies. Ben Hawkins, the
local Paginini, and his Stradivarius had
been engaged to lead them through the
mazes of the country dance, and all were
looking toward to the time of their life"
But death inconsiderately claimed Mrs.
Hawkins for his own on the afternoon Of
the eventful party. The u people
gathered as arranged. but bemoaned the
absence of "Ole Ben,' and games were
being substituted for the dancing, when

the scene. Great establishment and many
questions greeted the old man, but he
calmly slipped his fiddle out OF It's green
