i Transpacific Commercial Congress
is one of the important propositions
put forward by the Hawaii Promotion
Committee. representing the Territory
of Hawaii, Honolulu Chamber of Com
meree. This proposition is in an effort
to have the State Department call a
convention of the consular representa-
tives of the United States, located at
the different ports tributary to the Pa
cife ocean, to meet at Honolulu, In the
event of the adoption of plan for a
Panpaeife Commercial Congress.
There are many eogent arguments in
favor OF this convention, not the least
important of which may be found al
most daily in the oratory of statesmen
Us in almost eloquent periods that
we are - destined to the mastery of
the Pacific. - That this is, indeed, our
!" destiny we do not doubt-that
would be treason; but we have been
so long about it, and we seem even
now so Indifferent, that some of rs
are beginning TO fear the permanenee
OF the commercial supremacy Of
our competitors for the trade of the
Pacific, the South Seas, and the Asiasic
lttoral
But there are other and more tangi-
bic arguments to sustain the importance
of such a convention as the one pro-
posed by the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee. Among these is the geograph-
zeal position eff the place where it Is
proposed to hold the convention. As
set forth in the literature of the COM
mittee urging the organization of the
convention, Hawaii is the central point
of Pacific trade. Within radius of
5000 miles, Hawaii can reach across
the American continent extending as
far as New York on the one side. to
Alaska, Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala,
Costa Rlea, Honduras, Bolivia, Colon
bia, Ecuador and Peru, and into Siberia,
Korea, Japan, the Philippines, China
and Australia on the other side. With
in this area to the east, to the west,
and to the south, is a population of
more tnan 0,000,0 900, every unit of
which is, potentially, a customer for
something produced by the countries
enumerated. On the American side the
population of the coast line from Alas
ka to Chile exceeds $4,000 900; on the
other side of the ocean the Oriental
coast contains a population of nearly

No important developments appear to
detract from the underlying strength
which sustains confidence in the business
outlook. Weather conditions were mainly
favorable to operations and activity is
more evident in production and distribu-
ton. Leading retail lines find the gen.
eral demand steadily expanding. indicat-
ing that the purchasing power is undimin-
ished, but there is some accumulation Of
lightweight apparel, which needs a warm
wave to bring quick disposal. Wholesale
dealings now show the effect OF the be-
tween seasons period and current ship
ments dwindle. but forward buying for
fall and winter supplies compares fav-
orably with a year ago. and road sales
men obtain orders making a substantial
aggregate in the principal staples.
Notwithstanding the late spring and
other adverse factors, farm conditions in
both Illinois and Iowa never before were
more encouraging, and land and stock
values have advanced to the highest aver
age. Mercantile credits remain quite sat

trading defaults occasion little anxiety.

GOLD MINE IN WHEAT.
Government Expert Tells How
Riches Nav BE Won.


"a handful of wheat is worth less
than a cent; and yet single kernel in
that handful may easily be worth half
million dollars. Is it not worth a little
effort to discover which is the half mill
ion dollar kernel?'
The Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture in Washington was explaining one
of the wonderful things of modern plant
breeding science. Mr.. w. NJ Hays was
brought up in the Minnesota experiment
station and is one of the authorities on
this subject.
I'm fairy stories there were magic
peas and magic beans. which had won
derful power concealed within them"
Prof. Hays continued. "But nothing in
those fairy stories is really more won
derful than the simple facts. The magic

wheat equal to a gold mine, a single
kernel of corn worth a kings ransom,
a small and despised apple seed equal in

at is the power to transmit certain
qualities that gives the value. One seed
has il and another has not. That is the
whole proposition.

Cross currents in trade and crop con-
ditions prevent generalization. There has
been a further slight improvement in
crop condition. This has made for a
more optimistic feeling as to ultimate
yields and future trade in the sections

weather, but the great majority of cities
and particularly those in the eastern half
of the country complain of continued slow
retail trade and collections. On the other
hand the reports as to fall trade are quite
satisfactory. reflection possibly of the
fact that retail stocks of heavy goods
were well cleaned up last winter. Crop
uncertainties and the fact that recorder
business this spring has been practically
absent in many lines, however, induce
conservatism as to future ordering and
there is less disposition to embark freely
in future commitments until the situa-
ton becomes clearer.

$50 the best grain in our Northwest
States is all the offspring of a single
stalk of wheat numbered 476 of the 1892

grown from 400 seeds selected from the
best then in existence. But, by setting
this plant aside, and raising from it sew
eral crops of seed. new strain was de-
veloped, Minnesota 169,' which grows
from one to two more bushels 70 the

do you realize what il means to add
a single bushel to the yield per acre
In ten years it would add 100000, 000
to the wealth of the country. But at
the Minnesota experiment station selec-
ton and hybridizing has already pro-
duced a gain of % per cent in yield.
This per cent, if generally applied, would
add to the worlds supply of wheat 625,-
10000 bushels. At so cents a bushel
this would be worth S5O0,O00,00O q

THE cost of breeding this wheat is
about one-tenth of ] per cent And yet
some business men say that the man of
science does not realize about business
values?
THE beauty of plant-breeding is that
any farmer can do it for himself. Pa
thence, rather than learning, is what is
required. 4 farmer. or small gardener,
has only to select his subject and go to

KILL HOPELESS CONSERVATIVES,

Noted Specialist So Advises National
Tuberculosis Convention.
DIR. S. A. Knopf, the famous New
York tuberculosis specialist, who was dec
grated by Emperor William of Germany
for his work in fighting the white plague,
and who received prize of $1,000 for
the best treatise upon that disease, star
tied the national tuberculosis congress at
Washington by advising that hopeless suf-
ferers from tuberculosis be killed quickly
and painlessly by heavy doses of NOR
phine He said it was his practice to do
that, and he regarded it as sacred duty
that the end might come quickly and pain
lessly.
The committee on medication had made
a report condemning the use of morphine
and its compounds in these cases, and a
bitter debate was in progress when DR..
Knopf spoke. Doctors Flick and Lands
had approved the report, but favored
using creosote in advanced cases. Knopff
was opposed to the use of creosote, but
said he did use herbin and codein, both
of which contain morphine or cocaine.
One of the plans Endorsed by the con-
gress is to organize classes of consump-
tives among workingmen and school chill
dren for home treatment instead of in
hospitals and sanitariums. DIR. Fulton
said the secret of the success of the home
treatment was that not only the patient,
but the entire family, learned the road
to health, while the man who returns
from sanitarium usually cannot change
his family's mode of life. DIR. Lowman
urged the secusion OF consumptive school
children in special classes, which, so far
as possible, may be taught in the open
air.

The educational and social problems of
the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico
claimed the attention of the members of
the American academy of political and
social science at the recent annual meet
ing of that body in Philadelphia. Prof.
Z. NJ. Kemmerer of Cornell university, in
speaking Of the Philippine savings bank,
said that the first postal savings bank
was opened for business at Manila on
Oct. / Of last year, and by JAN 81 q
this year there were sixty-two banks in
operation in various parts of the islands.
At the end of December. three months
after the first bank was established, there
were 621 depositors, having on deposit
S92, 800. The principal classes of depos-
itors in the order of their numerical
Importance were clerks, artisans, profess
sional men, laborers, soldiers and sailors
and policemen. He said "a striking fact
in the figures is that of the 621 deposit
ors up to Dec. 81 500 were Americans
and ninety were Filipinos. The evidence
is sufficient to prove a strong witness to
the truth of the Filipino's reputation
for improvidence, and in so doing to show
the imperative need of an educational in
stitution like the postal savings bank and
of carrying on vigorous educational
campaign through the schools and through
the officers of the bank in the interest of
teaching the saving habit to the rising
generation of Filipinos. For until the
Filipino has learned the lessons of provi-
dence, thrift and self-control which the
saving habit exemplifies and inculcates
he cannot expect any high degree of eth
er economic or political independence"
