Mr.. John Mcclure Honolulu
Dear Sir: Mr. Ryan has given me a
blank to fill, which I return to you
filled the best could. Sorry it is made
in such a way that no idea of local
conditions can be conveyed If you
want to know my personal opinion of
those conditions, I refer you to my
memorial published in the report Of
the subcommittee on Hawaiian investi-
cation to the committee on Pacific Is
lands of the Senate and to my answer
to queries of the Hilo Board of Trade
published in Commercial Advertiser of
Honolulu on October %, 1904.
Notwithstanding some drawbacks of
the soil (Which can be improved by
blowing and fertilizing). and some
bIights, that are constantly introduced
and take root here, on account of the
lack of their natural enemies. the
climate in this district is healthy and
in no way an obstacle to farming
Hundreds OF small white farmers and
settlers live and continue to live and
work here without any detriment to
their health The idea that a white
farmer cannot work on the Hawaiian
fields for climatic reasons is totally
erroneous. 7 was student of this
question here for over ten years and
my opinion you viii find in the pam
phlets that I beg TO mail you together
with this in a separate cover.
The reasons Of general failure of
white farmers are only economical and
political in connection with the inter
ests of sugar corporations and their

ignored PineappIes and Sisal and Asked
!. About Corn, Beans, Oats and Wheat.
Farms He Wouldn't Visit

To get reports on small farming Mr..
Pinkham sent out a blank which is
described by DR. Russell of Olaa as
<'having been framed in such way
that no idea can be given of local con-
ditions" 1t asks the small farmer
about his success with cane, corn,
barley. wheat. beans, oats, potatoes,
bananas, livestock, vegetables and
coffee Cane, as Mr.. Pinkham knew at
the time his circular was prepared, is
not an asset of the small farmer, save
in rare cases. Of the whole list of farm
products, six-corn, barley, wheat,
beans, oats and potatoes-have no re-
lation to tropical agriculture; and their
failure here as a commercial asset was
long ago known and discounted. Vege-
tables are truck-farm products, sue
cessfully raised by the Chinese and
neglected by the white farmer, save for
his kitchen garden, or as an asset of
self-supporting schools and orphan
ages. Livestock on any scale, is not
small farm but a large farm enterprise.
Coffee is a good crop awaiting the
protection of the tariff to give it
market and is not quoted by any one
excepting Pinkham as a product by
which the small farm opportunities of
Hawaii may be judged. What shows
the base misrepresentation character
of the Pinkham report is that the cir
cular to small farmers-as given below
deliberately omits questions about
pineapp1es, grapes, lines, sisal, taro,
tobacco and vanilla. Furthermore, in
getting dairy statistics, Mr.. Pinkham
omitted as local dairymen inform US,
to send blanks to the successful milk
and butter farmers near this city. In
stead he questioned the handicapped
ones far from a market.
Nor is this the worst: Franz Buch-
holtz is authority for the statement
that he made, in answer to Mr.. Pink
hams request for agricultural data, |
a favorable report on diversified farm +
ing in Kona. Hawaii, and that Pinkham !

able.
