Owing TO the light weight of oats In
so many sections OF the country where
an excellent crop OF this cereal is
usually produced. the matter OF getting
good seed is going to be one OF consid-
cradle difficulty this spring. Whether
home or foreign grown seed is used,
the grain should be put through fan
ming mill under a good blast OF air for
the purpose of getting rid of the light,
chaffy kernels, which, as rule, have
little or no terminating power. In
the process good deal OF weed seed
Is also likely TO be eliminated, which
is n decided benefit.

For Hawaii

Editor Evening Bulletin:
The closing week of Congress has
brought one more victory for Hawaii
In the passage of my passenger trans
portation bill by the House on Thurs
day.
That II should have passed by a
vote of more than three to one was
particularly gratifying in view of ag-
gressive personal campaign made
against the bill by the California del
egation. The friends of Hawaii stood
by me loyalty in the fight, and a num-
Der OF them did personal canvassing
in its favor to Offset the similar work
being done in opposition.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
opposition to get two of the particu-
lar champions of American shipping
to turn against my bill; but they re-
fused to change their attitude, Civ
ing as their reason the fact that we
had accepted an amendment to put
the bill in the least Objectionable
form, and that we had not pressed
our bill for passage until the mail
subsidy measure was finally defeated.
The support of my bill by these
known friends of American shipping,
Influenced many doubtful members,
and 1t is very certain that they could
have defeated II II we had pressed 1t
in its original form against their op-
position.
The time limitation in the debate
did not admit Of speeches by the
dozen. or more men who helped me
to rally the votes would have turned
up; neither did II allow time to an
swer some OF the unfounded state
ments made by Mr.. Kahn in opposi-
| ton.
The personal attitude of members,
as well as the decisive vote. shows
that the House. as well as the Com
mittee. recognized the unusual con.
ditions requiring this legislation, and
do not regard 1t as any attack on tho
American protective system.
Members of Congress in general
agree with my contention that pro.
lection does not mean deprivation !;
and that the protective system was
never designed to deprive American
citizens of any commodity.
Owing to the existing status of bus
mess in the Senate. my bill cannot
receive consideration by that body
before their final adjournment to-
night. But have strong assurance
that the bill will be promptly passed
when the Senate re-assembles in De.
'cember.

which contained the Wahiawa Water
Company franchise and the two Maui
electric franchises, had n stormy ca
reer in the Senate, and finally failed
,of enactment. Owing to the Illness
of Senator Foraker, his committee
were unable to get a quorum togeth-
err to consider our bills, and they were
reported to the Senate by poll OF
the committee. This procedure has
often followed before, but this time
1t, was objected to on the floor Of the
Senate, and the two Maui franchise
bills were stricken out of the omnibus
bill together with one Alaskan bill;
the Wahiawa Water Co franchise bill
was permitted TO remain in, because
1t had been considered regularly in
committee.
Owing to the fact that this omni-
bus bill did not pass the Senate until
late in the evening, It was physically
impossible to have II engrossed and
acted upon by the House before the
hour agreed on for Adjournment, and
It will consequently lie on the Speak
er's table till Congress reconvenes In
December: at that time we can
doubtless have the two Maui bills re-
inserted in conference; meantime the
Wahiawa bill is safe, having now
passed both Houses and only await
ing agreement on other parts of the
omnibus bill.
Very truly yours,
J. KALANIANAOLE.

Twenty years from this year OF

would hardly know her. She
would hardly know herself.
Florida has riches. Her cotton
fields that are wide and white unto
the harvest every year; her forests
of timber that may be turned into
cash; her orange groves where
ripens the golden fruit fit for the
palates of kings or commoners;
the corn, and the wheat, and the
cane, and almost everything else
that grows in the ground and
ripens in the sunlight; her rivers
that are navigable, and her sea-
ports that bring her in touch with
the whole world---all these enter
into the assets of Florida, and help
to make her rich.
Florida has beauty. There il

beaches laved and dashed by the
breakers that sing their song and
keep their motion night and day
its bright skies arched above lis

REFORESTING FLORIDA.
Florida Lands to Be SOwn In
Long Leaf Pine.

UNSATISFACTORY, Feb. "a,
Florida is the latest State to show
an interest in reforestation. The
United States Forest Service, ut
the request Of the Dunnellon
Phosphate Company, has just com
pleted nm examination of vast
areas of cut over lands in Marion
and Citrus counties to determine
the feasibility of forest planting
in this section Of the palmetto
State.
While the greater portion of the
tract examined is well tilnbered,
there was found to be about 5000
acres of sandy brush aud grass
covered land from which every
pine has been cut, so that natural
reproduction is impossible except
on narrow strip adjoining the
forest. If the lands are to be used
to the best advantage it will be
necessary to restock this cut-over
area by artificial means, The
plans outline the most exten.
sive forest refOrestation opera
tons ever begun in the South.
After a careful study of condi.
tions it was decided that the SOW
ing of long-leaf pine seeds in
spots would no the most practical
ble method of accomplishing this.
The growing Of this species in a
nursery, followed by transplant.
my of seedlings to the field, is not
considered feasible, owing to the
long tap roots which are charac.
teristic of the long-leaf pine and
make transpanting difficult. Elk
perimental planting Of the cam
phor tree, mesquite and several
species of eucalyptus is suggested,
since it is thought to he entirely
practicable from business stand
point TO grow these trees in this
region.
1t is probable that the owners of
the land will prepare TO take mp
work along The lines recommended
Immediately. The only thing
which is likely to threaten the
success of planting in this region
is danger from fires. As is the
case in all forest work, fire protec-
ton must be provided. In fact, il
! it were not for the annual burn
ing. over, much of the cnt-over
land in Florida would now be COW
cred with fine second growth OF
pine. Even on lands where a few
old trees have been left from lum-
bering, the fires which are set an
nually to improve a limited
amount of pasturage prevent the
growth of Seeding trees. While
this burning usually has for its
object the improvement of graz
ing, timber growing cannot be
practlced pro6tably ON the same
land. II is certain that this burn
ing over does not pay in the long
run, even from the standpoint Of
the owners of stock, since il
steadily reduces the productive
capacity of the soil.
