VEGETABLES.
Report of Standing Committee on
Vegetables.
By Mr.. w. NJ. Gist.

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1 cannot, in this paper, convey to
your minds comprehensive idea of
the vegetable industry of the state.
1t is so varied, that it is a deep sub
ject. calling forth much energy and
"grey matter" Let me accent the
latter if the grower wishes to be sue
cessful. 1t calls for as much care,
thought and energy as the raising of
children of whom we expect to make
men and women of the highest type.
that may be an honor TO the COM
munity in which they may be cast.
The vegetable industry is too varied
to be discussed fully here at this time,
but l may say that it is one of the
mOneyed industries, and possibly l
would be pardOned for saying that it
now brings more dollars into the state,
than the orange crop. The movement
of truck you know we grow truck
ber is continuous until July. giving
nine months shipping season for the
state. Some part Of the state having
stuff that is wanted, by the man who
has the dollars, all through this
period. The market demand for all
our products is increasing. Twelve

vile, would not have thought of ship
ping a carload of lettuce to New York
at one time. Now that market can
take care of trainlOad at paying
prices. 1 might mention other crops.
for instance, what effect would the
present potato crop of Hastings have
had on the market even five years
ago?
The demand has increased and also
the means of distributing. L might
say that this part of the business has
been seriously neglected. 1t should be
a business separate from the growing.
The growing and packing is job big
enough for any man. But nearly
every trucker thinks, land / am one
of them myself, that he can ship his
stuff to better advantage than the
man who keeps up with that end and
makes it business giving his entire
time and attention to distributing.
There is money in the business. and
there are also sleepless nights and
grey hair to one who falls victim.

Draining the Everglades.

The argument. in the editorial from
the Green Cove Spring, is unanswer-
able:
Against the naked proposition that
the Everglades can be drained there

THE CULTURE OF sTRAwBER-
RIES.
Report of Standing Committee on
Strawberries.
BY Mr.. X. +. RigdOn.

By Mr.. r. +. RigdOn.
The culture of strawberries is now
one of Florida's staple crops, and
brings into the state, each year, many
thousands of dollars. at time when
there is not any other fruit to be had
SOil.-The soil best adapted to the
growth OF Strawberries is a dark,

can be had If not, any piece of good.
low land that can be well drained.
Varieties far as l have tested
them, for flavor and shipping qualities.
1 prefer KlOndike, Hoffman Improved.
Lady Thompson and Excelsior.
Yield.-The yield per acre is, with
fair season, five thousand quarts,
if you have home grown accIimatized
plants, but only about three thousand
from Northern grown plants
Method of Culture.-First. the land
should be plowed from eight to twelve
inches deep, and then pulveriZed be-
fore bedding. which should be done
at least four weeks before setting out
of the plants, as well settled ground
gives greater assurance of a good
stand of plants and they will grow off
more quickly and more thriftily. The
plants should be cultivated after every
rain, but very shallow, not over one
half to one inch deep.
Marketing-The best and safest
way to get berries to market is i'm ice
boxes, refrigerators, containing GA
quarts each. In these they will
arrive in the market, three days after
shipment, as fresh as the day that they
were packed.
Extent of CuIture.-The extension
of the growing of berries has been
very much checked by the rates that
the express companies have placed on
'iC N''Il ms VI DeITleS 10 lldrkel.
Drawbacks.-They are MANY.
drOuths, freezes and late fros,s are
all very much against the berry-grow-
er Bpt the worst of all are the eX-
press companies with their excessive
charges for carrying the berries to
market, and at the end the commits
siOnman to keep the rest and send
back bill for charges.

THE AQUARIUM SEA
horse IS NO MORE

Horsemen will be grieved to hear
thatThe sea horse fafled in acclimatiza-
ton at the Aquarium and qualified for
the boneyard on Tuesday evening
last. During his short career behind
the glass compartment in the company
of devilfish and sea urchins the little
fellow was one of the chief attrac-
tons of the place and even yet visitors
look for him in the grass plot behind
the building, not knowing of his death.
For where should a horse be but on
the grass? The number of people who
expected to find the sea animal q
quadruped kept the Aquarium guardi-
ans explaining all week.
The mortality among the marine
specimens is great at all times, despite
all the care that is taken with them.
Some of the species thrive in confine-
ment, but compared with the number
W no live only short time these are
very few. Among the commonest fish
to die are the sea dragon flies, whose
long winglike fins clog with a fungoid
growth, which also affects the eyes
and causes blindness, at which stage
the victims quit feeding and make
room for a successor. A constant
supply of new fish is required to keep
the Aquarium tanks full, though the
squids, crabs, cells and fish" of that
kind are hardy and long lived.
OF the 100 specimens in the tanks
only four or five are vegetarians, the
rest being fed with shrimps and small
fish. the most voracious being a pair
of mackerel. who dominate their own
particular section and keep their
gaudy neighbors' at a distance until
they have their fill at feeding time.
One extra attraction at the Aquari-
UNI yesterday was one of the black
swans from Kapiolani Park, which
had escaped on Friday and flew up
and down past the Aquarium. some
distance out to sea. The bird was en-
joying its freedom to the utmost, hav-
ing up until then eyaded all efforts
at a recapture. His mate is still at
the park and it is not supposed that
ne will go far away alone.

ALEXANDER SCOTS NEW PAINTING DIAMOND HEAD.

The newest oil painting by Alexander
Scott, the English artist, fine pic
ture of Diamond Head, will be placed
on exhibition tomorrow at the Promo
ton Committee rooms. Diamond Head
IS, perhaps, the most prominent, as it
is certainly the most picturesque, feat
ure of the coast line of Oahu. 1t is
always interesting and whether at
dawn, or high noon or sunset il draws
the eye from other things.
1t is from Mount Tantalus. however
says Mr. Scott. that the true character
of Diamond Head as an extinct vol
cano may be best appreciated, for
from there the cup-like rim and inte
riOr depths can be seen. 1t is believ-
ed with much reason that the extinct
volcanoes of the moon, which look on
the photographs of that luminary like
so many rings and are sometimes call
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-03-11

ed the ring mountains, are virtually
identical with the Diamond Head
crater except in size. Or course they
are vastly larger.
Assuming that the same forces
says Mr.. Scott, land the same mate
rials have been employed, and there
is small reason to doubt it, here. as
there, lava has streamed over and
down the outer walls in corrugating
lines and millions Of years of erosion
have given them the almost chiseled
aspect which we see today
The painting as illustrated herewith,
has been recently painted from Mr.
Rodiek's grounds on Mount Tantalus.
It has great distinction of style and
is altogether a beautiful work both in
composition and color, but Mr.. Scott
says it isn't a composition at all and
that it is the view as it actually Is
in every detail, at sunset.

4 TWENTY-INCH
LIZARD At ZOO

One of the latest arrived inmates of
| the Kaimuki Zoo is a twenty-inch liz
ard, answering to the name of 'Te-
guxin,'' which was landed here from
the Miowera. The Teguxin is a native
of Australia and is a handsome beast
SO far as lizards go. One of the strik-
ing peculiarities in his makeup is a
blue tongue. forked like the tongue of
d snake. The only other reptile hav-
ing this peculiarly is the Grass
Snake, which is not a snake at all, but
legleSS lizard, and has a habit Of
breaking off a portion of his tail if
picked up by that appendage, wrig-
CLING off tailiesS but free. The new
specimen in the Zoo is an active and
aggressive creature which makes its
living in the wild state by running
down mice and frogs, which it can
catch with ease. 1t refuses, however,
to eat toads, for which none can blame
it.
Once a year it sheds its old coat and
appears in a glossy black and white
lew one. Just at present the Teguxin
is shy and shuns observation. but as
il belongs to a family which responds
to kindness, Keeper Thompson expects
1t to soon become at home.
There are plenty of other Australian
inmates of the Zoo to make the new
exile welcome. Among the feathered
occupants of the cages are the emeus,
laughing jackass and doves from the
Antipodes, while the kangaroo and
one of the opossums also hail from
that direction. 1t is the intention of
the Zoo management to add a number
of other Australian birds and beasts
to their collection. some of which are
looked for by the next steamer. These
are pair of Australian pigeons, the
largest pigeons known, and a small
native bear
What should be one of the main at
fractions of the Zoo is the camera OBJ
scura, recently installed. For an art
student it should be particularly at
tractive. and study of natures col
oring thrown down before one in re-
duction, perfect in every detail as it
Is bound to be. should certainly in
spire. This feature of the Zoo is
least patronized. possibly because the
"at''~e of it is not generally under
stood.
