safety of the winter wheat crop from
the rigor.5 of the winter, of which def
nite information is looked for in the
government crop reports this week.
There is a supplementary prospect of
the sowing of large crop of spring
wheat with the attraction of the high
prices ruling in the grain market. The
lower prices for steel products are
bringing out increases of orders. eSpe-
,iaily for structural steel and tin plate.
Demand for copper also is reported
better and the surplus of refined copper
accumulated during March is expected
to show a large decrease from the
February figures.
The abundant resources which are
counted upon to supply fuel for specu-
lation are seen to he dependent, in a
degree, on the slack demand for mer-
camille use. In such situation a re-
vival of trade is expected to stiffen
rates OF interest. Another important
item in the recording is the enormous

obligations to be met from March,
1909. to the end of 1910, OF which over
$500 900 fall due in 1910, including
1927 $50, 900 short-time notes. the fruit
of the financial crisis of 1907. Much
progress has been made already on
providing for these necessities in the
heavy fotatiOnS of new securities in
the last few months. but the compiler
of this showing estimates that fully
half of the total remains to be ar
ranged. The absorption of a mass of
securities of this volume is a factor
to be contended with in the financial
future.

Naples. April 4.-Thc steamship Adj
mjral, which is to carry President
Roosevelt to Mombasa, is lying in the
harbor decorated with flags, and the
special quarters set aside for Mr
Roosevelt and his party are already
showing evidences of the welcome
which awaits him. Numerous gifts OF
flowers for the distinguished American
have already been sent to the ship ana
tomorrow the remembrance OF the
German Emperor, in the shape of great
masses of carnations, typical OF the
German colors, will be placed in MI.
Roosevelt's cabin.
The Hamburg is expected here some-
time near to the hour of noon and the
former President will be greeted on
board the steamer by the representa-
tivcs of the city council. who will cx-
tend to him an official greeting. and
party of ladies. who literally will strew
his path with roses. The German con-
sui general will extend the personal
greetings of the Emperor, and Ambas-
sador Griscom will represent the Am
orleans who have gathered at Naples
and who would like to meet the former
will not have an opportunity to do so.

of which there are several, have their
flags and bunting ready to dress SNIP

Mr.. Roosevelt will not likely remain
on board the Hamburg long after its
arrival, as he will doubtless wish to
make the most of the few hours of his
stay at Naples. No fixed program has
been arranged. as in all probability the
EX-President will have decided views
as to what he wishes to do. 1t is
thought however. that he will go d.
rectly to the Hotel Lodres. where
apartments were originally engaged by
Carew West Roosevelt, who is stopping
there Mr. Roosevelt will have lunch
with the Duke and Duchess Of Aosta
and it is thought will visit the museum
and aquarium.
In connection with the efforts made
to secure apartments for the eX-Presl-
dent. those who had the matter in
charge had rather amusing expert
ence. They found it impossible on &C
count of the great number of visitors
who had come to the city or had en-
gagged rooms in advance. to secure
apartments at the highest class hotels
for Mr.. Roosevelt. as they did not ali
nouuce the name of the intended guest.

and. as consequence rooms were 1lnal-

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-11-09

(By Alexander Hume Ford in Van
Norden's Magazine.)
Hawaii-the richest land in all the
worlds to be reclaimed for the
American homesteader.
This is the edict that has gone forth
from the White House, Congress, and
the people of our Island Territory.
Walter F. Frear, Governor of Hawaii
is working to bring about the desired
Amerionnization of the territory and
asks the cooperation of every loyal
citizen on the mainland who under
stands something about the fundamen-
tails of farming.
President Taft, former Vice-Presi-
dent Fairbanks, Secretary Garfield, Re-
clamation Director Newell, and half a
hundred Senators ind Congfessmen
have been among the visitors of re-
cent date to the islands where we
are erecting monster fortifoAtions.
They, one and all, join in the resolve
that even before the Panama Canal is
completed and Hawaiis strategic and
commercial importance many times
multiplied, the American small-farmer
shall be given a chance in the Para
disc of the Pacific. The islands must
be Americanized in the one and only
way.
1t was Mr.. Fairbanks who declared
to the people of Hawaii, after visiting
their islands and studying the small
farm question:
Il would like to see this American
territory occupied by those whose
blood ran through the veins of
our ancestors" This sentiment i'm
mediately found an echo in the White
House and in the chambers of the Cap
itol.
The Federal Government proposes at
once to reclaim by irrigation some
100000 acres in Hawaii, to be cut up
into 5000 farms of 20 acres each, thus
adding $4,000 American citizens to the
population of the territory, of whom at
least 5000 will be voters. In addition
to this area there are nearly 100000
acres of land belonging to the Terri
torial Government, much of it leased
out for varying terms of years in large
tracts. Every year for a generation
/ to come leases will expire on from
10000 to 10000 acres, which may be
thrown open for settlement.
Hawaii is about the area of New Jer-
sey, nearly twice the size of Porto
Rico, yet has population only one
fifth that of the one time Spanish isle
In Porto Rico seventy per cent of the
people are supported by the coffee in
dustry, the holdings averaging acres
each. Jared G. Smith, the director
of the government Agricultural Expe-
rimental Station in Hawaii, who re-
Gently resigned to start tobacco grow

tending their own cultivated plots.
Where white men have united and
taken contracts to tend and grow cane
for the planters they have invariably
made money. The SENSIBLE small
American farmer might we'll begin in
Hawaii along these lines while looking
about for suitable land. Leases ex-
pire every year and of this he may
take advantage. In the waiting he
can learn the technique of farming in
the tropics.
A crying need in Hawaii today, and
one the friends of the small farmer
hope soon to overcome, is an agricul-
tural bank to finance the newcomer in
the fields. Another is the need for
cheaper transportation. The present
Ister-Island monopoly has just declar-
ed fifty per cent dividend and a sur
plus of as much more There is a
splendid opportunity for competition,
for the Federal Government has pro-
missed one good harbor on each of the
four big islands for the use of all,
and belt line railroads are being con-
structed.
A few years ago a young man stirred
up the common people of Bermuda to
charter steamship, move their own
crops to America and reduce passen-
ger rates two-thirds. They made
expenses anu u dividend of three hun
dred and fifty per cent. This may be
done in Hawaii.
For the agriculturist with some
small capital, and the cooperation of
few similarly fixed fellow farmers
who Will migrate with him to lease or
buy and cultivate the land-Hawaii
may be made to yield riches untold.
Cooperation is necessary, for where
a number of men settle in a community
they can demand and will receive fair
treatment in respect to transportation
rates. Failing in that they can do
what the lone farmer is powerless to
do-create transportation facilities for
themselves. There have been insect
pests anat have destroyed hawaiian
crops, but the four agricultural expert
ment stations look out for this and as
soon as harmful insect finds it's way
into the territory, the world is secured
for its natural enemy, usually some
parasite that will destroy it and then
die itself, of starvation, The melon
! fly is the latest enemy of the small
| farmer that has been combated in
this way, and the leaf hopper that once
destroyed half the cane, has been to-
tally destroyed. If the planters of Ha-
wall fought insect pests as vigorously
as the agriculturists of the Pacific coast
Hawaii would rise all of the $35,0OO,.
900 Of tropical fruits consumed in the
