AMERICAN FARMERS WANTED.
Victoria Is After Them to Start Irri-
cation in Australia.

cation In Australia.
The invasion of the Canadian wheat
belt by American farmers, about which
there was so much comment two or
three years ago, may be duplicated in
Australia, says a Melbourne dispatch
to the Boston Transcript. George
Swinburne the minister of agriculture
Of this state, proposes that an organ
lied effort be made to induce American
farmers with practical experience or
irrigation to settle in Victoria. In this
he is seconded by Elwood Mead, the
American irrigation expert, who, after
serving the United States government
and various American colleges, Is now
chairman of the commission on rivers
and water supply of the state OF VIC
toria, with headquarters in this city.
1t is argued in the commonwealth
that in the United States irrigation has
advanced beyond theory and become a
prosperous realization, whereas In Aus
tralia there is much to be done in edu-
eating the farmer besides afording him
a supply of water. Experiments, lee
lures and lessons in irrigation are hav-
ing good results here; there are exam
pies of successful irrigation farming
already in the commonwealth, ana
since the terrible years of drought
which eliminated in 1902, irrigation on
n large scale has been hailed as the
hope and the aim Of Australia. But 1t
is likewise true that at many places In
Victoria and New South Wales, where
irrigat ton Is employed, much water Is
-ested and the soil is improperly used
II is Mr.. Swinburnes idea, therefore,
10 get the Americans to settle In differ
ent parts OF Victoria and actively en-
gage In farming, so that their Austral-
ian neighbors may be able to learn lrri-
cation from them. Mr.. Mead has told
Mr.. Swinburne that there are hundreds
Of farmers in the western United
States who would readily settle In Vic
torIa If they knew that the land in
many parts of this state was more pro-
ductlve than that Of large number
Of successful irrigation districts In the
United States. Mr.. Mead Intends to
make, this latter fact widely known,
and it Is planned by Minister Swia-
burne to have two or three representa-
tive American farmers invited to Vic
tora at this states expense to see what
it has to offer in the way Of land and
opportunities, and enable them to re-
Dort to their friends.
Should the plan succeed 1t may be
that New South Wales will adopt 1t
also, for that state is already com
mitted to what Is known as the Barren

FUR A CLEAN TOWN.

The success of most any movement
depending on public support depends
largely on the ability of its promo
tiers to select the moment when the
people are in temper to respond
the psychological moment.
A better time could not be chosen
to vitality interest the people in keep
ing Honolulu clean.
True, 1.-THE city is not particularly
dirty. 1t is also true that city
coon to, entertain twenty thousand
guests should make special effort
to have every sidewalk, every alley,
every backyard and every front
yard spick-and-span clean.
This is the best guarantee the
City of Honolulu can have that the
visit OF the Fleet in July will be a
complete success.
March 25th is none too early to
start the work and each day there
after should mark some good work
done.

FARMERS DETERMINE
PROSPERITY.

Keep your eye on the farmers II
you would know of the future plos-
perity of the country.
During the recent financial crisis
great confidence was expressed in
the ability of the country to pull
out" because the farmers had en-
joyed large crops that were selling
at a good price. The importance OF
the men who gain their living from
the soil was fully appreciated
Now that the pulling-out process
is still under way, the country con-
tlnues to view the future of the
farmer as the determining factor OF
prosperity or hard times.
Here Is the suggestion as 1t comes
from one Of the keenest writers OF
the country:
Farmers are beginning to plant
the new crops and roundup Of
the situation shows that they
hold 90 per cent less of grain
and cotton than they did year
ago, when measured in bushels,
but that the reserve in farmers
hands has a market value OF
practically $1,000, 90 o. 900, which
is what the hold-over of last year
was worth at this time. This
means that the country is in no
condition to stand crop failure
and 1t will be well for Wall
Street enthusiasts to keep an eye
on the, farmer and the weather
while bulling stocks.
