IF MORE COULD BE GROWN.

"Now, if some plan could be de-
veloped by which more of these could
be produced here-if a plan could be
developed by which more people would
know how to raise them if occasion
demanded--it would be better for us
in case the Islands were ever shut out
of communication for any length of
time. Ism t it possible that it would
be better for the town if instead of so
many lawns there were more potato
patchesi If lettuce, and beans, and
the other things of that sort, were
grown in part of the groundsf Take
the case of an epidemic. Such gar
dens would be of the greatest satisfac-
ton and advantage. For the house
holder could know through just whose
hands everything in the vegetable line
had passed.
SIT shall be one of the objects of
the Experiment Station, if it can, to
interest more people in these things.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCT.
'FThen the matter of distribution
shall receive our attention. At din
ner at the University Club the other
night it was pointed out that, though
the best bananas and the greatest va
riety are grown here, they are not
readily obtainable. Production is all
right, but distribution must be i'm
proved so that the grower can get his
product to the consumer who wants it,
and the consumer can get the kind he
wants. Methods of shipment, of pack
ing for shipment, of mark eting in gen
eral, are proper subjects for thorough
investigation, and when investigated
the results should be made known.
eff these things can be done, this
can be made the richest territory in
the world

proposition the offer was agreeable, but
a definite proposal of what land was
wanted in exchange would have to be
made before anything definite could be
promised The general policy of Gov
ernor Frear was not to exchange agri-
cultural lands for town lots. It was
finally agreed to let the matter rest
in the hands of the president, with au-
thority for him to go ahead with the
home so soon as the site question was
settled and it was seen that the cost of
the building would come within the

IF WAR SHOULD
BOTTLE Us Up!
DR.. Wilcox of the Experiment
Station Points Out
Our Needs.

An interesting address was that al
| the Commercial Club yesterday at noon
| by DR.. Wilcox, the new director of the
| United States Agricultural Experiment
Station. The address was given az one
| of the lunchtime addresses for which
the Commercial Club is becoming
famous.
DIR. Wilcox was introduced by Pres
ident George w. Smith, of the club.
He began by saying that it was little
preposterous for himself, newcomer,
to address men of SO much longer ex-
perience in the islands on farming, but
there was one phase of farming on
which he could speak with some con-
f1dence. That was the scientific side,
for it was becoming more and more
recognized that farming is scientific
business.
SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
.tBook farming he said, chad been
spoken of rather contemptuously for
many years. But the United States is
carrying on the greatest under
taking in the world in the way of
scientific farming. 1t is, and has been
trying to teach the best methods of
producing better and bigger crops, bet
ter live stock and more economically,
in short in increasing production and
the economy of production. The ex>
pertinent stations maintained through
out the country are doing better work
than ever before, and the value of their
work is better recognized by the farm
ers themselves, and is better appreciat.
ed by them.
"While the production side of farm
ing has thus been dealt with the bust,
ness side of farming has been neglected
in these experiments. This has been
necessarily so, for until the producing
side had been developed, the time had
not come for the other.
"Now however it is being taken up.
It is recognized that it is useless to
produce abundant crops of superior
things, potatoes or pineapples, if after
they are produced there can be found
no market for them, or if they decay
on the way to market, or if the market
at one point or on one day is glutted
and at another point or on another day
is barren.
FARMERS MUST ORGANIZE.
81 can say, therefore, that it il
part of the business of the experiment
stations to show that farmers cannot
succeed without association and cooper
alton The farmer is too often a suspi-
cious individual. He acts as though he
wanted to quarantine his farm against
new ideas. But the farmers must CO.
operate in marketing. The farmer must
find out as the potato growers of Gree
ley, Colorado, have found out, that or
ganization is necessary. They organ
lied last year, and now they have a
man in their pay, working for their
who looks after their pota
toes when they are received in the mar.
ket. He keeps them advised as to
where to ship and in what quantities.
So that they are not shipping train
loads of potatoes to a market to arrive
just as other trainloads from some
where else are arriving. The beauty Of
this kind of business is that there is
no unfair advantage taken of anyone.
It is a method of getting commodities
to the market at the time the market
needs them, and as it prevents gluts
in one place it prevents scarcity in
another.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-07-10
GLUT AND SCARCITY.

Gin Georgia last summer, at every
rotting because no one knew where to
ship them and because arrangements
for cars were not made, while in Wash
ington peaches were at very high
price because of scarcity. The people
of Washington would have been very
glad to have these Georgia peaches, and
the peach growers would have been
very glad for them to have had them.
"There will be no change in policy
in the Experiment Station. 1t will con-
tinue to seek to learn processes and to
publish all that is worth publishing.
New problems will arise and it will seek
to deal with these 1t will seek to
develop every really practicable and
useful Hawaiian crop.
IF WAR SHOULD COME
"The War Department has been
seeking to find ont what would happen
if war with anyone should shut you
off from communication with the rest
| of the world! Naturally it strikes a
newcomer more forcibly than it does
those who have lived here longer, that
so many things that are needed here,
and which will grow here, and without
which you would be very quickly in
straits, are not grown here. Take for
instance potatoes and onions. They can
be produced here. They are used here
in great quantities, and yet they are
not grown here. If all importations of
them should stop for only four weeks, it
would be brought home to every one,
how important they are in the ordinary
dietary.

have any such fears. Tt has been re- peatedly stated from the moment that the investigation was fairly under way that there was no intention to dig be- meath the surface, and the manner in which the committee has conducted It. self proves this assertion conclusively.
 This point was Illustrated during the last week that the committee held pub lie sessions During that time there was absolutely no attempt to lnvestl gate the Electric Boat company. The efforts of tho committee were directed entirely toward Mir Lllley in an effort to produce some evidence to discredit him. The mere fact harped upon with such great vigor as the investigation drew to close, that Mir, Lilley had the assistance of the Lake boat people was done for effect, pure and simple. The second day the committee was in ses- sion and when he was first witness before 1t Mir Lilley informed the com mittee that he had had the assistance of former Senator Thurston of Ne braska and that he welcomed his aid as he would welcome the aid of anyone during the progress of the investiga tIon.
 The matter now revolves itself down to speculation as to the nature of the report to be made to the house by tho investigating committee. That the re- port will be antagonlstlc to Mir. Lilley no one familiar with the situation doubts. It will say that he has not of fact. an energetic examination from start to finish must inevitably have produced more evidence than has all ready been collected.
 lAs matter of fact, however. Mir Lilley has already been upheld by the house of representatives In his fight for open competition in the submarine boat business. When the naval appropria tion bill was under consideration. or at least that portion of 1t referring to submarines it was current gossip about the house corridors that "a vote for open competition is vote for I.illey." The overwhelming vote which enacted Into law the competition clause demon- strated conclusively that Mir Lilley was justified in starting the investigat- ing because. farce that it was it de- monstrated to the house and the coun- try the proposed monopoly in submar- inc boats anG It showed the necessity for competition if the people were to get a fair an1 equitable return for the congressional expenditure

FISHED WITH NET
Italians Haled Into Court and Heavily Fined for the
 offensc.
FISH COMMISSIONER BUSY
MT. Crampton Will Inycstlgatc--J. W. Lewis Sncs--Other Court News
 of inc Day

Unless a different decision Is given by the higher court 1t will cost Petro Gatto and Approsso Bassillio $l0O In fines and S3i,S6 in costs for catching a few nathsh and sinners Sunday after noon by the use of a seine net in vio- latlon of the fish and game laws IA fine of $50 is tho minimum for this offensc, and as the men pleaded guilty the nne was imposed by Judge Tyncr yesterday morning.
 The arrest of the two Italians was made on the open water by Deputy Warden Nollmer. He had been watch ing the men and when they hauled in a catch of fish, they were placed under arrest.
 When seen last evening, John M. Crampton of the state game commis- sion, said tho deputy warden was only doing his duty in causing the arrest. He said he would have the case thor oughly investigated.
 I've didn't intend to go fishing at all yesterday" said Petro. through an interpreter. Venture came over ear ly In the morning and asked us, We said 1t was against the law and he showed us hie badge and said; I'm a policeman and I know it will he all right 4 big net had been left at the house by another boardcr and we took lt and started ont. Venture rowed out with us and helped Us get few flat fish Then he had us let him off and told us that we could go ont and fish more if we wanted to- We went out and when we started to come in again tho tide was SD low we had 10 wait un- til o'clock Then when we landed we were arrested
 Judge Tyner heard the story from the interpreter with apparent interest and then imposed tho minimum fine which was s5o each, explaining that there was nothing else for him to do.
 The charge against the Italians was for using a net with a mesh less than ? l-2 inches square without a license.

UNFAIR TO LILLEY
Further Evidence of the Alleged
 Attitude of Submarine 
 l. Investigators.
REPORT TO CONGRESS SOON
Llley's Fight Endorsed by House In Revent Vote for Open Com-
 petition.
Especial t. the Journni.Courier.)

Washington, May 1.-The special committee of the house Investigating the charges made by Representative George l.. Lilley of Connecticut in con nection with the government business done by the Electric Boat company, has once more given striking example of the unfair\ methods which have characterized Its attitude from the very outset of the investigation.
 In announcing its decision to compel Mir. Lilley to produce his private books. correspondence and private secretarys note books 1t proves once more that it Is more anxious to delve Into Mir Lll- ley's affairs than 1t is to make close examination of the books of the Elec- trio Boat company. Even should the letter books of the Connecticut repre- sentative show that he has made criti- cism of the conduct of the investigat- stand what bearing such criticisms have on the methods employed by the submarine company In securing busl- ness from the government It will be remembered that in his original charges MT. Lilley made the statement that an examination of the company's books would prove many of the charges made by him. These books were brought to Washington about two months ago by President Rice of the Electric Boat company, but up to the present time no effort has been made by the committee 10 learn their con tents, and, for that matter, no one in Washington expects that such an ex- animation will be made. Mir Lilley had told the committee that the company's books would be the fountain from which a goodly portion of the informa- tlon necessary to sustain his charges would flow, but in spite of this there Is no evidence of disposition to make even a cursory examination.
 As a matter of fact the committee ie suffering from very grave case of pique because of the newspaper critic isms which have been hurled at them If these criticisms had been confined to the press of Connecticut there might be some justification for the charge that favorite son was being defended It Is a fact, however that some of the most severe arragnments Of the com mittee have been made in papers In the middle and far west, In papers which have no interest in the present farrell cal investigation except to see fair play. The committee has subscribed to a press clipping bureau and the caustic remarks contained In the hun dreds of clippings received daily has not calmed their ruffled tempers.
 So far as the investigation itself Is concerned 1t Is doubtful if the commit tee really has any serious belief that 1t will find scrap of evidence in the private correspondence of MT. Lilley Certainly none of the latter's friends
