somewhere west of the Illinois
Central locating a line, and we
think If it is gone at in the prop
er way the management could be
induced to look over the route
from Brookhaven, through the
Veto neighborhood BY Meadville
to Hamburg, and we feel sure
that the natural advantages for
building railroad will appeal to
them as being the cheapest and
most practicable route through the
county. This route would ira
verse some Of the richest bottom
lands in the State, both on the
Homochitto river and the creeks
tributary, and through the finest
pine timbercd lands to be found
anywhere.
We.make the suggestion that
our people call a meeting here
and invite the management Of this
road to meet with lis, when we
can put our indpcements into def

tages to be gained by making the
survey on or near the line Of the

EVADING THE REAL ISSUE.

The refusal of the opponents of small
farming to debate the industry on It's
merits, is as plain in the Pinkham re-
port as it is in the casual letters which
this and other local papers have pub
lished from time to time.
For instance the report sets up a
man of straw and knocks it down in
this wise:
1t is both cruel and criminal" to
Unfortunately boom and urge VEN
lures in experimental small farming
by persons of small means dependent
on prompt returns, or ventures, in
divfdually in a small way in growing
staples that are produced in more
favored localities on an immense scale
by low cost and abundant labor.
If there is one thing the advocates
of small farming have constantly
repudiated it is the idea that the
farmer hsould grow staples in competi-
ton with those of the mainland. Small
farming here, as We have explained
scores of times, means the production
Of purely tropical crops for export. AS
for temperate zone products they may
be produced in a small way to help
feed the farmer while his pineapples,
sisal, tobacco, bananas, cassava, rub
ber vanilla, etc, are growing.
Mr.. E. c. Greenwich of Keaiakekua,
also misinterprets the small farm
when he says:
I consider that the letters appearing
from time to time in the different pa
pers are very misleading, and for per-
sons of small means, cruel to hold out
bright prospects, granted that we are
free from pests.
There is no market for any fruit
vegetables, eggs, poultry, butter. The
in Honolulu prefer to get
all they want from the coast.

THURST0H AND
CASTOR BEANS

Editor Advertiser: / am informed
that the Pinkham report contains a
copy of a letter to myself from Messrs
Pinkham and Callahan asking num-
Der of questions about castor oil on
the Haleakala Ranch, with a note fol-
lowing, in these words:
''Note:-Mr Thurston Informed the
interviewer that the castor beans were
planted anticipating a price of 3 cents
per pound, which was not offered; that
he was not posted on the business or
market, and referred for data to Mr..
c.. Koelling.
The price offered for the beans was
255 cents per pound delivered, at which
there were no sales. The price of oil
being still further depressed, 21a cents
per pound would be far above what
the market would justify
There is some truth in the foregoing,
but enough that is incorrect to make
the statement wholly misleading.
The letter stated that they under
stood the Haleakala Ranch had raised
a marketable quantity of beans, and
asked for the facts in your possess
sion as to the raising and marketing
OF your crop, giving figures as to cost |
and receipts and where marketed"
Mr.. Callahan called upon me short |
ly after the letter was received and |
asked for answers thereto.
I ran1ip6 that NJ ro,7cJ
duced no beans; that on representa-
tons made by Mr.. Koelling some
castor beans had been planted. ex-
perimentaIly; that no beans had as
yet matured: that I had no statistics |
of cost, had not sold any beans and
consequently could not give him in
formation on either price or market;
that year ago Mr.. Koelling was of
fering three cents a pound for the
beans but, L understood, that he was
now offering only 2A cents a pound;
that I did not know what the price
was abroad-ebut had written for in
formation.
