Honolulu, October 9. 1906.

honolulu, October 9, 1906.
Editor Advertiser: In connection
with the comments, Mr.. w. H. Baldwin
made in the last Sundays Advertiser
ON my article, pineapple Growing in
Wahiawa," l beg to make the follow.
ing remarks:
During my sojourn in Wahiawa,
where l stayed to study the climatic
conditions and the nature of the soil,
l was impressed with the splendid
growth and quality of the pineapples,
grown in that district Having no in
terest whatsoever in the financial
growing of that colony, at least not
more than any other man, who will
rejoice over the opening of new under
takings in these islands such as the
pineapple industry, it was certainly
not my intention to praise the Wahi-
ava pineapple unduly, at the expense
of other local pineapple growing dis
trlcts. L have no doubt, but that
equally good fruits can be grown at
other points of these islands provided
the climatic conditions ms well as the
SOIL are as favorable as they are at
Wahiawa. AS my examination of the
different Hawaiian soils is progressing.
will be in better position to de-
eide this question. As this object
will, in due time, also take me to
Maui, l may personally verify all Mr..
Baldwin claims for his fruits.
The main object of my article was,
to set forth the excellent quality of
the Hawaiian pineapples as compared
with the products of other countries,
and since / knew the Wahiawa pine.
apple best and its good qualities,
named the same as a fit representative
of this fruit in the islands. Viewed
in this light, l feel certain, that Mr..
Baldwin will not blame me for having
chosen fruit of such well known
quality, although l repeat, that / have
no doubt of the possibility that its
standard can be reached by fruits
grown at other districts of these is
lands.
Yours very truly,
G. ELSCHNER.
