To The Owners of The
Soil
BY EDWARD EVERETT

The man who stands upon his soil
who feels that, by the law OF the land
in which lac lives. he is the Iightful
and exclusive owner OF the land which
he tiiiS. feels more strongly than an
other the character Of a man as the
lord Oi an ii;tnimatc world. Of this
great wonderful sphere, which, fash
toned by the hand Of God, and unheid
by His power, is rolling through the
Heavens. a part of it is his-his from
the center to the sky! 1t is the space
on which the generation before moved
in its rounds OF duties, and he feels
himself connected by a visible link
with those who follow him. and to
whom he is to transmit Il home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to
him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home: but nc can trace
their footsteps over the scenes OF his
daily iai,Ors. The roof which shelters
him was reared by those to whom he
owes his being. Some interesting do
mcstic tradition is connected with
every incIosure The favOritc fruit
tree was planted by his fathers hand.
He spOrted in boyhoOd besides the
brook which still winds through the
meadow. Through the fields lies the
path of the village school OF earlier
days. He still hears from the window
the voice of the Sabbath bell. which
called his fathers to the house Of God:
near at hand is the spot where his
parents lay down to rest, and where,
when his time has come. hc shall be
laid by his children.
These are the feelings Of owners of
the soil. Words cannot paint them
gold cannot buy them; they flow out
Of the deepest fountains of. the heart
they are the very life-Springs OF Il
fresh, healthy. and generous national
character.

CONDITIONS ON SOUTHERN FARMS

the benefit of those who will plant cot.
ton in the future. 1t is an assured
fact that the Caravoniea seed, now to
De obtained in Hawaii, is equal, and
probably better than can be obtained
in any other part of the world. It is.
therefore, useless TO send elsewhere for
this seed, particularly since there are
a number of growers here who have it
for sale and there IS the constant
danger of introducing some new pest
by importing seed from elsewhere. I
would particularly wish to sound a
warning against the purchase of any
cotton seed whatever from the main
land. If Upland cotton seed is purehas-
ed there is the great danger of intro
ducing the cotton boll-weevil, and if
that pest should be introduced and find
favorable conditions here, it would
practically make cotton industry in
the Islands impossible. Moreover, if
Sea Island cotton seed is purchased
from the mainland there is the risk Of
importing the disease known as ''cot-
ton wilt In view of these two very
era e risks to be run it would seem
highly desirable not to import seed from
the mainland, even if a superior quail
itv of seed could be obtained from
there. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that from our past experience it
is certain that an inferior quality of
seed will be obtained by importing
either Upland or Sea Island seed. The
only growers of Sea Island who have
really select seed refuse absolutely to
sell or give away their seed, and it may
well be doubted whether their best seed
is superior to that which we already
have. AT any rate, after looking over
the plantations of the best growers in
the center of the Sea Island district, I

favorable for the production of this
crop. Thus far Sea Island cotton has
been grown at attitudes varying from
sea level to 2300 feet. Doctor Ray
mond showed me a few days ago a
very good sample of Sea Island cotton
grown at that high altitude. The Cara
vonica cotton has thus far NOT been
grown above 700 or 500 feet altitude,
but we have no reason to suppose that
it may not be grown at higher altf
tudes.
With regard to rainfall requirements,
IT appears from experiments thus far
carried on that Caravonica is harder
than Sea Island under relatively dry
conditions. 1t remains green and pro-
duces a satisfactory growth where the
Sea Island shows decided effects of
drouth. The profit to be obtained from
Sea Island cotton depends rather more
on its quality than the yield, and it
seems. therefore. a doubtful business
proposition to choose this variety if the
conditions are not favorable for the
production of the best quality. The
finest samples of Sea Island, which we
have thus far obtained in Hawaii, were
grown where the rainfall was rather
abundant. say from sixty TO seventy
inches per year. This has not, however.
been universally the case, since in a
few instances, very fine samples were
obtained from much drier localities.
As to the yield of Sea Island and
Caravonica cottons and the relative
profits to be obtained from them, it is
sufficient to say that Caravonica cot
ton, at its best, will yield far more,
probably double what can be expected
of Sea Island. If we take what may
be considered good average samples Of
Caravonica and Sea Island, allowing
twenty cents a pound for the former,
and thirty for the latter, it will readily
be seen that in estimating the relative
profits from the two varieties of cot
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-11-07

ton we have to balance a higher yield,
on the part of the Caravonica, against
q higher price on the part of the Sea
Island The shades of variation in this
balancing process will be so many that
it is practically useless to speculate on
the matter until we have secured
further data from large areas of both
varieties. 1t seems, however, a safe
proposition that the large yield of Cara
yonica, at its best, will more than out
weigh the hi CHER price of Sea Island
at its best. This is not due entirely
TO the large yield of Caravonica, but
also to the fact that it is more easily
picked, has a higher percentage of lint,
is apparently more resistent to drouth
and to the attacks of the Indian boil
worm.
IT should. not be understood from the
above statement that he exclusive plant
ing of Caravonica is recommended
throughout the Territory. The fact that
the higher quality of Sea Island can
be produced here, with a greater yield
than that obtained On the mainland,
should make it profitable to grow this
variety of cotton in favorable situa
tions. In fact, it would seem a great
pity not TO eSIdDlsh new source OF
Sea Island cotton, since it was conclu-
sively demonstrated during the Civil
War that fine grade of cotton could
be produced here, and has been re-
demonstrated during our recent expert
ments. The choice between Sea Island
Caravonica and Egyptian must be left
largely to the individuals concerned, but
it is strongly be recommended that. after
having made a choice, the planter
should grow one kind of cotton exclu-
sively, or should at least not allow
two varieties to exist in close proximity,
This practise is necessary on account Of
the ease with which cotton crosses.
1t seems necessary to say a few
words regarding the seed supply for
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-11-07

felt that the risk was too great to
justify bringing seed for experimental
purposes, even on the Experiment Sta
ton grounds, where we could control
matters and eradicate any pest or dis
ease which might develop. If Sea Is
land seed is purchased from the main
land the purchaser will obtain the av-
erage seed which comes from the gin.
The cotton field produced from such
seed will lack uniformity in height of
plant, character of growth and quality
of the lint, and these points will great
lv diminish the value of the product.
AS matter of fact. no one should at
tempt cotton growing without making
careful seed selections on his own place.
Good seed can now be purchased of a
number of growers here, or the Expert
ment Station will distribute seed in
small quantities in order to make it
unnecessary to take chances in import
ing seed from the mainland or from
other countries.

tres is increasing rapidly as these new
industries develop. There has been
considerable hesitation as to the ex-
tent of the market for the higher grade
OF eottons of the Sea Island type, but
recent developments make it apparent
that the market will demand more and
more of this production, corresponding
with its increased use for special pur-
poses, such as mercerizing, automobile
tires and allied industries The price
of ordinary upland cotton during the
present season has ranged from 11%
to Is cents per pound, and that of Sea
Island, from 19A to 80 cents. Certain
fancy strains of Sea Island sold for
seventy cents per pound. The price
offered on sample for Caravoniea cot
ton has ranged from Il to "a cents,
and for Egyptian, from 10 to 20 cents.
1t is confidently predicted by those who
have made a most exhaustive study of
cotton prospects, that none of the pres
ent generation will live to see cheap

of cotton this year on the mainland
win DC considerably less (probably to
the extent of 10000 bales) than last
year. This decrease is due, partly, to
an excessive drouth which prevailed in
a large part of Texas, but is in part
due also to the continued prevalence
and spread of the cotton boil weevIl
and cotton wilt. On account of the
great inroads which the cotton boil
weevil is making on the cotton fields
of the South cotton growers generally
in the infested district are changing
their methods of farming, whereby
system of rotation is followed more con
sistently, and the acreage of cotton
eorrespondingly diminished. thas been
estimated by technical and business ex
perts that the total cotton production
OF the mainland will fall away to the
extent of 100000 bales annually for
the next ten years to come. It is ad-
mitted by the entomologists who are
working with the cotton boil weevil
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-11-07

In order that Hawaii may be develop
cd TO the fullest extent along tradi-
tional American lines, it is necessary
that a greater variety of crops be put
unon q commercial basis. This would
make possible the utilization of large
areas Of land which are now lying idle
or which yield merely minimum in
come. In making a selection of crops
for the profitable utilization of lands
now idle, the first point to be consider
ed IS the question of markets, and the
second important point is the cost of
production under local conditions. In
the light of the first consideration, just
mentioned, cotton stands out prom
nentIy as one of the most important
world IS crops with a recognized stand
ing everywhere upon the markets of
the world. 1t is easily shipped, car
be held for long periods without deter
Grating, and does not require special
arrangements in transportation. More
over, it is a crop which can be grown
profitably on either a large or small
scale. AS soon as a considerable area
of cotton is planted in these islands
il will be possible for men who wish
to plant only half acre or a few
acres to sell their crop as seed cotton,
without any manipulation whatever, to
factors who will assume the response
bility of marketing the crop. On the
other hand, cotton lends itself well to
cultivation in large areas. On large
plantations the crop would naturally be
managed somewhat differently, on ac
count of the fact that it would then
pay to buy q gin and remove the seeds
on the place, after which the seed
could be ground for animal feed, or per-
haps preferably sent to a mill for the
removal of the oil, after which the
cottOn-seed meal could be used for feed.
The United States has for many years
held the foremost place in cotton pro-
duetion. Last year in the total world 81
production of 100000 bales, the
United States produced about 13,000,-
900. Notwithstanding this large pro-
ductiOn of raw cotton, the United States
imported more than $12,000000 worth
of Egyptian cotton for manufacture on
the mainland. In order to secure first
hand information as to the recent
developments in the cotton industry, an
extended trip was made during the
present cotton season throughout the
whole cotton belt of the mainland, from
Yuma, Arizona to Charleston. South
Carolina and Florida. The production

negligible, or at any rate, has no in
