NEW INDUSTRY
IS LAUNCHED
Continued From Page One.)

There were six who had contracted
to take Mr.. Renear's machines. but
nearly all dropped out, and now [ am
the only one who has one. I'm going
to see this thing through. l hate to
see thousands OF tons of finest fodder
going to waste every year, and, when
others see the results of the machine,
they viii come in and invest in one.
Renear has had hard work overcoming
the difficulties in finding a machine that
would grind the beans, but he has sue
ceeded.
1.-The first machine will soon be in
stalled at Waialae. | expect to have a
little trouble with power first to run
our machinery.
professor Stetts, at Washington,
has analysed the beans and has written
me to say that as far as fattening ami
mails is concerned it is the finest fodder
he has ever seen.
DR.. Wilcox has also analyzed the
beans with the following result in prox-
innate constituents: water, 1851; pro-
TEN, 9.37; fats, 90; nitrogen, free ex-
tract, 1852; crude fiber, 22.88. This
analysis is for the whole bean. The
meal averages more in nitrogen and
crude fiber and lesser amounts of the
others.
1.-THE crop is poor this year. said
Isenberg, further. ''The first crop of
the year was no good, and the second
crop was good, but was spoiled by the
rain. There is weevil that is doing a
great deal Of harm to the crop, but DR..
Wilcox gave me box full of bugs that
are the enemies of the weevil. Isbe-
heve that the installation of these ma
chimes will revolutionize the feeding of
animals here. -
There was some discussion by the
committee as to whether the consider
alton Of the matter was strictly within
its province, but it was decided that it
did not have to stick to certain lines
and anything that was Of benefit to Ha-
Wall was proper.
The meeting then adjourned and the
party went to the factory where the
machines are being made and where one
is now installed and in operation. The
machine itself has previously been de-
scribed in The Advertiser, the working
test yesterday being the urst which the
promotion committee members have
witnessed. Five or six sacks of beans
were ground up and resacked in less
than that many minutes.
During the meeting, r. H. Trent ask
ed for two months leave of absence
during which he viii visit his old home
in Tennessee. 1t was granted to him
and Chairman Bowen commanded him
to exercise his genial smile for the
benefit of Hawaii nei while on the main,
land.

thirty one minutes, completed ten in
one hour and four minutes and finished
the entire fifteen in one hour and thir-

allow for a short wait after every FIVE
miles, for a rundown.

Woods asked if a cook would be
prevented from working in the garden
between his cooking stunts.
Smith could see no advantage in the
amendment. In further remarks he ex-
pressed the hope that more of the labor
coming to the country than in the past
would be citizens.
Harvey supported the amendment,
asking how we were to- get American
citizens here if homesteaders were al
lowed to hire Chinese and japanese.
Hawaiians should have any employ
ment that was going.
Knudsen spoke of the difficulty of
farmers in the States today in getting
labor to take off their crops.
Coelho called the chairman to order,
and when asked to explain himself said,

Smith supposed a case of law that
no alien could work on the land in
this country. What, then, would the
Hawaiians do who had rice land that
he wanted to have cultivated and
would not or could not do it himself
When they said that aliens should not
work on homesteads they were not
legislating in the interest of. home
steaders.
Woods denounced the amendment rs
an infringement of the rights of Amer

The amendment received but three
votes.

MORE WHEAT-LESS COTTON
Sea Island Cotton News Advises Mem.
bers Of Union to Pay More
Attention to Grain.

Commenting upon the effort of the
officials of the Arkansas State Farm.
ers' union to induce the members of
the organization in that state to
plant enough wheat this fall to supply
the needs of the people Of the state,
the Sea Island Cotton News, paper
published in the interest of the Sea
Island cotton districts of Carolina and
Georgia, advises its readers and mem.
bers of the union in the state of South
Carolina as follows. The advice.
which is applicable to members Of
the union in all the states, Is as follows:
The advice given to the farmers
OF Arkansas would be good advice to
the farmers of South Carolina. al
though this state cannot be ranked
among the wheat-producing states,
there are portions Of it we'll adapted
for its growth. The whole Piedmont
section, now given over almost wholly
to cotton, could be made to yield more
than enough for all the people of the
state. Nature intended this section
for a cereal growing, stock raising
country; and We have often wondered
why its farmers should have devoted
themselves so exclusively to the I'm
certainties Of cotton planting, when
by turning their attention to grain
and stock, they could with less labor
and anxiety of mind reap greater re
wards for their industry. There IL
every incentive for the upper Carolina
farmer to do this. Mules, horses. hogs
and beef cattle are in great demand
and bring good prices. And as fol
wheat, there is no other grain so uni
versally used in this country. Il is
not probable that the supply will ever
exceed the demand. except when the
price becomes eXorbitant Bread be
ing the chief food of man. it ought tc
be within the reach Of all, and there
fore we believe it is the duty of ever,
farmer to raise wheat who can. When
the Spectator puts the price of wheat
beyond the reach of many millions OF
people, which inures very little to the
benefit Of the wheat raiser, it is time
for farmers all over the country t,
raise more wheat as protection tC
these suffering millions against iutf
spectators"

NEW DAZZLE LINE
RUsslA's OBJECT IN sETTLINe
UP SIBERIA.
Fertile Land 10 to Be Populated and
Made Rich In Anticipation Of
Second Struggle with
the JapS.

Siberia is proof that Russian policy
changes. The land Of terrible despair
has become the golden land Of oppor-
tunity simply by the government say.
Ing so. Russians, supplied each with
$50 BY the government, are now turn
ing to Siberia. According to James W.
Ragsdale, the American consul at st.
petersburg. 5000 emigrants a day are
passing through 0msk to the great
broad fields beyond. No chains rattle
as they pass: they are not urged on
% Cossacks; all is not blank in front
and sorrowful behind. Drawing them
Is the mirage Of q land flowing with
milk and honey, carpeted in season
with flowers and awaiting only the
pillow and the herd. And still 1t is ST.
beria-the old Siberia, for the seasons
have not changed.
Already the land, that we have al.
ways pictured as a perpetual waste
OF winter, has 100000 inhabitants,
and already it is marketing its grain
In competition with ours in European
markets and selling its butter even in
Japan and South Africa. The small,
long-horned Siberian COW has given
way to the sleek Jersey, the small
black sheep has been followed by the
fiat-tailed Cotswold or Southdown. and
the razorback has become Poland
China home-maker. Even the pris-
ons have become humane places. and
In the waste places have arisen popu-
lous cities.
The world has known that there
have been changes in Russia and 81.
IBERIA, but propably has not realized
the full measure of them. Mr.. Rags
dale declares that the world is still
held by the old exaggerated pictures
OF newspapers and magazines, and
does not appreciate the Siberia of to.
day. He says:
That the winters are long and cold
there can be no doubt, but they are
no worse than the winters in northern
Canada. The soil, too, of these vast
territories is as rich and fertile as
that OF Canada. and very much re.
sembles the lands of the great states
OF Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, except
that 1t is better watered and tim.
bered."
Russia is now bending every en-.
ergy to fill Siberia with Russians
home-makers, not convicts. It is the
keystone OF her new eastern policy.
When next Russia clashes with the
yellow man-and the struggle Of the
far east Is not ended-Russia will not

J the Progressive Agriculturist

The man with crouch is the most
undesirable animal on the farm.
A good farmer is always busy. Even
on stormy days his brain keeps right
on working.
The man who chops wood in July is
the man who hugs the stove too close.
ly in December.
1t Is bad to thrash your horse to
make him increase his speed. Put the
whip into the manger.
A mans word may be "as good as
his bond" but now we never knew a
banker who ran his business on this
theory.
The farmer who mixes plenty Of
brain with his work does not have to
toll from daylight to two hours after
dark to make money.
One big days work, with the boys
and the hired man to help, will put the
yard and the grounds about the house
in fine order. The wife will be pleased
too.
Do not be impatient to get the seed
into the ground before it is warm.
Too early planting only means loss
of time and often loss of seed by rot.
ting.
Now the field work is driving every
body. How exasperating to have to
stop and do other things that might
have been done when the ground was
frozen.
The farmers of the United States
added nearly s7,5OO,OOO,OOO to the
wealth of the country-probably the
largest sum that was ever added to
the wealth Of the world by any nation
in single year.
The attitude of some farmers =.
ward the good roads problem is like
the lazy man whose roof leaked.
When it rained he could not fix it,
and when the weather was good a
roof was not needed.
Some farmers still sheer at science
in agriculture. They ought to be made
to continue blowing with a crooked
stick, cutting their grain with a sickle
and threshing with cattle, as people
did before science took a hand in farm
work.
There is no good reason why a man
should not 90 into debt for the farm
machinery he actually needs, provided
he knows how to use and take care OF
it. We have to make machinery take
the place of men in these times, and
rightly used it will pay every time.

NEW COOPERATIVE METHOD
Noted Dutch Poet, Sociologist, Scien.
fist, and Dramatist to Show Us
How to Farm.

DR.. Frederick Van Eeden, poet, so
biologist, scientist and dramatist, and
easily one Of the most able men in
Holland, has come to this country to
show Americans how to farm. He
plans vast cooperative system that
will not only increase profits of the
farmer, but will also check the tend.
ency to migration and relieve conges.
ton in the cities.
Schemes Of this sort are not new,
says the Chicago Journal. They have
been tried before in this country with
varying success. In this case, how.
ever, the high standing of the pro.
moter gives his plans an unusual ele.
ment of interest.
DR.. Van Eeden exepets to break
ground this fall in his original colony,
which is located on 10,OO0-acre tract
in South Carolina. Eventually he
plans to extend his system all over
the country.
Money for preliminary expenses and
purchase of land is to be raised By
a bond issue. To this is added com.
mon stock for tenant and preferred
stock for customers and consumers.
Each tenant is furnished with land,
a home, seeds and implements. He
merely is required to advance a sum
sufficient for maintenance and to in.
sure his good faith. His crops are
to be marketed for him and the bal.
ance placed to his credit, less a small
percentage to form sinking fund TO
insure against crop failures and SIM
liar possible disasters. Capitalization
of marketing facilities and purchase
of supplies is expected to effect econ.
omies that would not be possible to
individuals.
DR.. Van Eeden's plan is theoretically
attractive. It's weakness lies in the
fact that it does not allow for Amer.
lean individuality. Few American
farmers are willing to merely till
their fields and leave to others
matters of business judgment and f.
nance.
