for irrigation after it had been used
for power development. BY system
of open irrigation bitches, such as are
found throughout Salt Lake City and
some other places, the gardens of the
city except on the very highest levels
could be irrigated. This water would
be better for irrigation than the ar.

and in very satisfactory manner. The
growth of the city depends on the so.

charming and agreeable people that I

"Your various problems here, trans

selves. More people will come here
and then transportation will cheaper
and improve. That will bring more
people, and with them more improve
ments in transportation. These things
work together. One brings the other.
Your problems are the same as Others
have had, and others have been able
to work ont the answers, just as You
will be able to.
What Hawaii needs to develop its
fruit resources more than any one
thing, something that you will have to
have, is an industrial agent. He will
have to be man with a knowledge of
transportation, knowledge of the
fruit business and a great deal of
knowledge of human nature His bus
fpess will be to go between producer
and buver; give the producer a knowl-
edge of what the buyer wants: work
with the transportation companies and
be in a position to know what kind of
transportation is wanted and what
freights can be assured if the trans,
portation is arranged for He will
have to study the markets and know
what is needed, and when, and he must
be in position TO be able to arrange
with the buyers and be able to assure
them of systematic shipments, proper
condition of the fruits and uniform.
ity in the products to be handled.
"Your producers must get together
and work together. They must take
an example from the Southern Califor-
MIA Fruit Growers Association, which
is succeeding in a business in which
the members working Independently
failed.
You must have cooperation along
businesslike lines and a businesslike
trade. There are many things that
you can export from here and be sue
cessful in. l can not say what they
would be, but your industrial agent
could find ont and tell you. 1t might
take him two years or more of hard
work, but the results would amply JUS
tify the expense.
