BOOST FOR
TOBACCO
Sugar Plantations to
Experiment with
Same.

Jared C. Smith, director Of the
United States Experiment Station, re-
Gently issued a circular letter directed
to plantation managers on the island
of Hawaii. to the effect that he was
willing to supervise the planting and
experiment in the culture of tobacco
on from one to five acres of plantation
land for each company.
The result has been that Laupahoe-
hoe and Paauhau plantations in Ha-
makua. and the Hawaiian Agricultural
Company in Kau have taken the mat
ter up and will devote a portion of
their property to raising tobacco.
Mr.. Smith looks upon this as a dis
tinct advance in small farming in the
Territory. The acreage to be develop
ed at first will not be large, but the
returns from tobacco are considerable.
Mr.. smith considers the soil of Hawaii
as good as any to be found anywhere
for tobacco culture.

AGES OF RUSSIAN GENERALS
Do Their Advanced Years Account
For the Defeats In
&KanchurieP

An officer of the United States Navy
writes the The Sun that he sees in the
extreme age of some of the Russian
Generals possible explanation of their
failure to resist the japanese success
fully. He cites the cases of Gen. Kaul-
bars, who is about seventy-six, and of
Gen. Gripenberg nearly eighty.
The latter was criticised by Gen.
Kuropatkin for the loss of the battle
of Haikoutai, preceding Mukden, and
returned to ST. Petersburg protesting
that he had not been properly support
ed on the critical day by the Command
er-in-Chief. Their quarrel is being in
vestigated.
Kuropatkin. though only fifty-seven,
has, after a long series of reverses
been superseded by Linevitch, said to
be about sixty-ffve. So Russia is
ignoring the Osler theory in trying to
find a man who can rally her scattered
forces and win a victory.
Stoessel was sixty when he lost Port
Arthur after a heroic defence Nogi
his conquerer, is about the same ago.
Field Marshal Oyama. Japan's great
est soldier. who has won an unbroken
series of victories in the present Man
churian campaign, is sixty-three. It
is recorded that he took part in his
first engagement, a feudal battle, at
the age of ten.
He was a general at thirty-one. His
first great victory, the capture of Port
Arthur from the Chinese, was won
when he was fifty-three
Kuropatkin was certainly more sue
cessful when a young man. He entered
the Russian army at seventeen. and
during the Russo-Turkish war made
brilliant record at the age of twenty
nine.
As was pointed out in these columns
soma weeks ago, soldiers have become
famous at varying ages. Our own Gen
Winfield Scott was 81 in the Mexican
War, and the famous Won Moltke. in
the Franco-Prussian War, scored his
greatest triumphs when seventy We'll
ington and Napoleon Were only forty
five at Waterloo.
So the record runs through the
worlds history.-New York Sun.
