BARNARD ON COFFEE.

DARN AlI YIN 0Of
There is no doubt in my mind" said
E. w Barnard of Laupahoehoe, that
the future of coffee in this section of
the country is brighter than it has look
ed for several years. The Japanese are
after land wherever it is suitable for
the cultivation of coffee and l take that
as a good indication for the japanese
are not fools.
Il have shipped to the coast this
season more than fifty tons of coffee
and find that the demand is growing.
There is not enough produced here to
secure for it separate classification be-
cause the quality is superior to any sold
in San Francisco and for that reason
it is used as a blend. When our pro-
duct is increased and We can have some
one on the coast to represent us TIa-
waiian coffee will have a place in the
hearts of the coffee drinkers that will
increase the demand perceptibly''
I'VE harvest our own crop and nave
1t cleaned and picked over IN our own
coffee house SC that we know that only
Inc selected product is shipped 10 the
coast. The idea that the only good l1a-
waiian coffee comes from the kona side
of the island is erroneous and the people
on the coast are finding out that there
is as fine coffee on this side of Hawaii
as there is in any part of the world

in the natural leaf and present a fine
appearance. The soil and climate of
Papaikou, Mr.. Souza says, is adapted
to the cultivation of tobacco and as
soon as sufficient land can be obtained
the business will be gone into thor
oughly The sample leaves are short
but of good width. Three crops can be
taken off in year.
