PLANTATION
Jared G. Smiths Plan
Amounts, Practically
to That.

I'VE have secured local backing, and
are going into tobacco cultivation on
field scale at Hamakua," said Di-
rector Jared Smith of the United
States Agricultural Experiment Station
yesterday. NO; I can not tell you
who the local parties are who are
putting up the money, but We have
been assured that it will be forth
coming. That is why 1 applied for the
lands at Hamakua.'
Commissioner of Public Lands Pratt
yesterday received a letter from Mr..
Smith asking that lot II, of the lands
of Hamakua. now being offered for
sale, be reserved for the use of the
United States in the tobacco culture
experiment that was ABOUT to be tried.
This lot contains 11103 acres, and is in
the immediate neighborhood of the
lands where tobacco has already been
grown by the government, soil and
climate both being adapted for the
culture of the plant. 1t is close, also,
to the tract of ISL acres taken up Jointly
by Douglas and Kretzchmar, the last
named a tobacco expert from Sumatra,
with view to engaging in the cultiva-
ton of tobacco on commercial scale.
Il have taken steps to reserve the
lands desired by Mr.. Smith, said Mr..
Pratt yesterday. His project is
good, and there is plenty of water in
that country
1--WE propose to go into the thing on
a commercial SCALE said Jared Smith,
continuing his talk about the Hama
kua project. I'VE will plant the land
in tobacco, put up drying sheds and
go into the matter on a field scale.
Indeed, the work has already COM
menced. A market? We will wait
until we get the crop before we think
about that. But the local people who
have become interested in the matter
sufficiently to go into it on a big scale
under our direction are content to take
their reimbursement from the results
of the experiment
at is the intention of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to send an expert
out to help us in the matter of drying,
curing and caring for the plants, and
when he comes it is the purpose to
establish a kind of tobacco school,
where all who are interested in to-
bacco culture may be taught all that !

EVERYBODY
KNOWS IT |

The soda water solo at orr fountains
is known all over the world and the
reason is ohvious-tourists drink it, en-
JOY it and tell their friends about it.
Local people patronize our fountains
because the flavors are made from
fruit, the water properly carbonated
and the ice cream is made from pure
cream. That accounts for the richness
of ice cream soda sold by us. Can
ycu say as much of that sold else
where?
There's as much of a knaek in pre-
pairing a glass of soda water as in do
ing other and more complicated things.
II is like glass of old ale--unless it
has been properly decanted it loses the
snap that should be with that sort of
beverage. If you have never tried our
soda water begin today-then you will
be with us often.
