GOOD SHARE

QVVU OybUII6
Ever since annexation, at every op.
portunity he has had, James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture, has displayed
a cordial regard for Hawaii. "The An
nual Reports of the Department of Ag-
riculture for the fiscal year ended June
so, 1904 public document lately
received from Washington, is in strong
proof of the foregoing statement. This
is not so much on account of abundant
mention of the Territory of Hawaii in
the reports, as of the fact that there
are things done and doing for the Ter
ritory by the department which make
subjects OF necessary mention.
In one portion of the Secretary IS
own signed report the greater part of
a page is devoted to information about
the Hawaii Experiment Station. An
other part of the Secretary's report
draws attention to the study of for.
estry in these Islands which had been
made, and the appointment of a mem
Der of the Bureau of Forestry as SUI
perintendent of forestry here.
The report of Willis s. Moore, Chief
of Weather Bureau, tells of the action
taken in March, 1904. to establish a
section of the Climate and Crop Service
Bureau in the Hawaiian Islands, and
concludes about Hawan with a state
ment that arrangements here chad so
far advanced by the close of the year
as to justify the hope that the section
would be in full oneration and issuing
the standard publications before the
close Of the succeeding year.
