vice such as Forester Hosmer is doing
for the Hawaiian Islands. though by
somewhat different methods dictated
by variant circumstances.
Having been disabled in active SER
vice in the Philippines, Captain Ahern
was four years ago detached to super

him vas a labor Of love 10 undertake,
for he is not only an expert but an
enthusiastic forester. Captain Ahern
started the first school of forestry in
the United States in connection with
his military duties at the town of
Bozeman, Montana.
Captain Ahern put up at the Alex

granted an interview to an Advertiser

of those Interested in securing supply
for this shipment. Any one who has
pears on the trees can do something
now to help this coming industry
Mr.. ]. E. Higgins of the station says:
The avocado (alligator) pear is des-
tined to become one of the important
tropical fruits in the American mar
kets. 1t is just now beginning to re-
ceive scientific attention in methods of
propagation and cultivation. Already
it has been successfully budded, thus
