boil weevil, the insect that has de-
vastated thousands of acres in the
South, is not found in Hawaii, and cot
ton wilt is a disease fortunately I'M
known here"
DR.. Wilcox, the director of the Ha-
waiia Experiment Station, seems to
have been trying to stir the islands
into a fierce rivalry with the South.
According to the report of one of his
lectures in the Pacific Commercial Ad-
vertiser the Doctors views as to the
future CT cotton in the South are, to
say the least, peculiar. Here, we take
it, is a summary of them:
'The falling off in the amount OF
cotton produced in the United States is
due largely to the boil weevil, which
lis worse now than it has ever been
before. And there appears to be abso-
lutely no possibility of checking its
spread. The only thing that had any
lappreciable effect on it this year was
the high temperature experienced in
some parts of the country. For in
stance, it was pretty we'll killed out in
Texas, but this was because the Their
Imometer went as high as ia degrees
and the weevils were literally cooked.

expected regularly, in few years the
boil weevil will be in the sea-island
cotton district aong the coast of the
Carolinas and Georgia, and will means
la diminution of the crop in that Sec
ton"
Clearly, the United States needs a
better-informed man for director of it's
experiment station in Hawaii, or the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser a more
Ipainstaking reporter. 1t is far cry
from Honolulu to the Southern States,
but the general facts about cotton
growing and the steady development
of the business of cotton-growing are
too well known to be maltreated. The
time is visible when the South will
produce some million more bales OF
cotton than it now produces, in order
that it may supply the steady increas-
ing demand of the worlds consumers.
Some good cotton may be produced in
every continent of the wrld, but, we

ORDINANCE
SANITATION COMMITTEE APPROVES
Observation-Disclosures MILK
ORDINANCE DEFERRED.

The proposed amendments to the
plumbing ordinance were approved by
the sanitation committee of the Board
of Supervisors last night. They are
mostly to correct defects found by
Plumbing Inspector Miechlstein in the
performance of his duties. Some OF
the changes will reduce the cost OF
plumbing in dwellings. The fiat rate
of So for a permit covering a whole
building or a single fixture, as the
case may be( is changed to fifty cents
a fixture. There is no charge for
slight repairs, such as stopping leaks,
etc.
Nothing was done with Supervisor
Aylett's milk ordinance owing to the
late hour when the plumbing measure
was completed. Not only members of
the Board of Agriculture but leading
dairymen consider the Aylett measure
as submitted to be radically defective,
adm it will probably fail to secure the
support of majority of the Board of
Supervisors unless its defects are cured
Since the Mayors vetoes of the milk
and dairy ordinances, was sustained
no move has been made toward in
traducing new dairy ordinance. The
Board was legally advised that separate
ordinances for guarding the milk sup
ply and for regulating diaries were
necessary, as a single act of legislation
can embrace but one subject.

Every now then then we hear of the
successful cultivation of cotton in some
region of the earth other than the
Southern States. We know, of course,
that cotton may be and is grown in
other parts of the world-as in India,
Egypt, China, Peru; but the announce
ment that it can be grown in some re-
mote corner of earth with greater
profit and success than it is grown in
this country has been made so often
that it is becoming little stale and
tiresome The experiments in various
portions of Africa, for instance, have
been exploited and described and
countless prophecies as to the reyo-
luton of the cotton trade of the world
have been made upon the slender basis
of the production at ruinous cost of a
few pounds of the staple. So with the
other experiments in other parts of the
globe.
Now it is Hawaii. Hawaii is to be
the true rival of the South Hawaii is
to produce so much cotton and of such
fine quality that it. will make the
Southern product seem second-rate or
tenth-rate Cotton may yet be king
in the Hawaiian islands," chants the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser of Ho-
nolulu, "and all the world may come
to this territory for its best supply OF
the staple" According to this author
ity, Hawaii holds invits brown hands
the key to the whole situation. I'VE
have no need it says, "to go to the
Southern States for our seed"
1t doesn't need to go to the Southern
States it seems, for anything. Hawaii
is sufficient unto itself. There is no
necessity for the Hawaiians to come
over here in order to learn how to cul-
tivate cotton. Either they know it
all or the climate makes it unneces-
sary for them to bother with details.
Hawaii can raise as good cotton as
can be grown anywhere in the world"
/ 1t seems that the islands are pecu-
liarly safeguarded from all the perils
that beset the planter of the Southern
States:
