quickly as he can. Experiments in the
States. where ten acres have been aIlot-
ted to each of forty or fifty small far
mers with a town site in the center of
the holding, where "homes' were built
(not shaeks), have proved successful, the
homesteaders combining for mutual
benefit and sending one of their num-

their goods-as the pineapple planters

There is splendid opportunity on the
windward side of Oahu for making
success of small farming. Not, how
ever, by seeking to induce the farmer
to become tenant, but by permitting
him to be man and an owner of
home. Man loves his home. woman
loves to make it beautiful. She can't
beautify shack; she can. however.

dltIon and move out, and a man who

We passed the old deserted stone mill

believe, on Oahu-and both of us re-
marked on the splendid opportunity it
offered for, with slight alterations,
turning it into hotel where persons
of moderate means might recuperate.
The windward side of Oahu is several
