, PINEAPPLE GROWERS.
} The pineapple growers of the Terri
. tory have organized the Hawaiian
, Pineapple Growers Association. It's
purposes are similar to those of the
: fruit growers associations of Califor-
MIA, by which the fruit-growing indus
try of that State has been saved from
/ practical anarchy. The object of the
f pineapple growers is stated to be to
improve the methods of cultivation,
, packing and marketing. It will seek
by cooperation among the pineapple
growers to raise and maintain the
standard of product and to protect
markets by seeing that markets are
always kept supplied but not allowed
to be Quilted to the Generalization of
prices. The canned pineapple output
of the islands last year was about 1885,
600 cases. This year it will be 388000
cases. and next year it will undoubted-
!, ly be more than half million cases.
