SCIENTISTS AND
TOURISTS ALSO
Would Add to Attractions That
Islands Have for Men of
Learning.

In letter written to the promotion
committee yesterday by the Waialae,
Kaimuki and Palolo Improvement Club
on matters connected with the proposed
observatory, statement of Professor
Gilmore of the College of Hawaii was
quoted where he said that, although,
the promotion committee is doing splen.
did work in getting tourists here, it is
doing nothing to attract scientists.
The members of the committee were
rather taken aback by this and Acting
Secretary Cooper had on hand mum.
Der of scientific publications of the
committee to show that they did work
in that line. Among these publications
was one concerning the late Mr..
Bishops theory on Pacific climate, one
on the attractions of the Islands for
scientists and one pamphlet issued some
time ago soliciting the 1910 convention
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science which has
many members here.
Mr.. Berndt, secretary of the mer-
chants association, yesterday stated
that the committee had misunderstood
the statement of Professor Gilmore and
that, although, they were doing excel
lent promotion work to get the scien-
lists here, there was no attempt to
build anything here to attract them.
Nature was here but there was nothing
to study her with.
The volcano is always an attraction
but as yet there are no instruments
there by which scientists can study it
and the same thing applies to the OBJ
servatory.
In regard to the coming convention
of the scientific society mentioned, Act.
ing Secretary Cooper was instructed by
the committee to look up the records
and see if the agitation for the conven-
ton can be given new life. The former
attempt was started by a man who
is now supposed to be in India. 1t is
probable that an earnest effort will be
made to secure the convention now that
it has again come to the attention of
the committee.

FIGHT AGAINST
WHITE PLAGUE
Organization for Active Campaign
Perfected at an important
Meeting Yesterday.

The antituberculosis workers of Ho-
nolulu organized for an active com
mencement of work yesterday through
the delegates of the various organiZa-
tions interested in the city. This was
organizations invited by the Red Cross
Society to take part in the organized
campaign against the white plague,
those present being: Father Valentin,
representing the Roman Catholic So
cieties; Miss Pope, representing the
Women's College Club; Mrs. Theodore
cieties of Central Union church; J. p.
Cooke, representing the Mems Club of
Central Union; j. A. Rath, Represent.
ing the Palama Settlements, Doctor.
Hodgins, representing the Hawaiian
Medical Society; Doctor Sinclair, rep
resenting the Leah Home; Doctor
Pratt, representing the Board of
Health; w. r. Castle, representing the
Civic Federation, and Doctor Hobby, of
the U. s. Marine Hospital Service. The
MEMS Club of st. Andrews was not
represented by a delegate, while there
are some other organizations which will
be asked to send delegates to future
meetings.
Judge Dole, president of the local
Red Cross, called the meeting to order,
after which permanent organization
was effected, as follows: Chairman, J.
p. Cooke; secretary, Doctor Pratt, and
treasurer, C. III. Cooke. A committee
to discuss the best methods Of getting
to work was nominated, consisting of
Mr.. Rath and Doctors Hobby and Hold
gins. This committee was instructed to
get busy and have a report ready for
an early meeting.
A general discussion of the situation
resulted in tentative decision in favor
of using existing organizations for the
antituberculosis campaign, the general
idea being that Leah Home should be
utilized and efforts made to have new
pavilions and another ward erected for
the treatment and cure of incipient
cases. The medical men present stated
that the location of this home was an
almost ideal one for the purpose.

Anderson, which at first cast rather a
damper on the meeting. The first rub
Der plantation was incorporated in Jan,
uary, 1905. The plans of this company
were, broadly speaking, to plant Ceara
the first year, believing they would
yield earlier than Hevea, and to follow
with Hevea, when seeds of this variety
had been obtained. Returns were ex-
pected from the first trees in 1909 at
the rate of one.half pound per tree, to
be gathered at a collection cost of Boo.
per pound and TO sell for 81 per pound.
The first unforeseen difficulty was
encountered when the young trees were
transplanted from the nurseries. Rats
ate most of the first years planting
before method could be found of cir
cumventing them and to check their
ravages. As fast as the trees were re-
placed, they were eaten off again. This
multiplied expenses and divided profits
by large figure and much less was
realized from the years work than was
expected.
Prof. Ralph s. Hosmer, superintend.
ent of forestry, then read a paper on
"Rubber and Reforestation. - "To
those familiar with local conditions it
tions are better adapted to given crops
than are others. The rubber industry
is case in point. Rubber demands
dition of soil, moisture and elevation
which can only be met in particular
Districts" he said. ''From the invest
igation of the Federal Forest Service
and of others connected with the
broad movement that, within the last
few years, has come to bear the name
Conservation, it is apparent that
in the future there is going to be de.
cided scarcity of wood. In this Terri.
tory we already have to pay higher
prices for lumber and other wood
products than are customary in many
parts of the country. In connection
with rubber growing it may or not be
possible and advisable to establish
plantations of eucalyptus and other
trees, but the thought that 1 wish to
leave with the members of the Hawai-.
ian Rubber Planters Association is
that those who establish forest planta-
tons now, whether of rubber, eucalyp.
tus or of any other kind, will reap
sufficient reward in the years to come
to Justify the thought and financial
outlay that may be necessary to get
ST oh groves started.R
F. l.. Waldron read paper on "Mar.
keting Rubber" On account of the
small area suitable for the raising of
rubber trees, Hawaii can never be
producer to the extent of influencing
or rather bearing upon the market value
of rubber at any mart of Importance.
AT the present time Hawaii probably
contains the most thorough and pains.

These remarks not only apply to the
raising of sugar but also to the system.

rubber. Rubber growers of the Ter.
ritory will realize good results, provid.
ing they market as a unit and the re.
suits will be particularly apparent and
gratifying at any time when the value
of rubber might be at comparative
low level of price as it now is high.

FUTURE FOR

maintain it. The rubber growers asso-
citation might deny that certain grades
are the standard after they have been
bought by regular purchasers, but all
that the purchasers know is that it
came from Hawaii. They won't know
that il came from a certain planta-
ton, while all others are keeping up
to the standard. To make the rubber
business a success it is necessary to
grow other crops that could be sold in
rather large quantities to the larger
plantations. OF course, the difficulties
confronting the small farmer in Ha-
waii were greater than those which
confront mainland farmer, owing to
the transportation cost, and such.
Taking bananas as an instance, Doc
tor Wilcox said there have been dozens
of shipments from Honolulu to the
mainland which have arrived in San
Francisco in good condition but the re-
ceipts were so small that the freight
could not be paid. A man on Maui
can not therefore raise bananas and
other like products and expect to mar
ket them in San Francisco.
The pineapple situation is somewhat
similar, especially as to shipping fresh
fruit. The shipment of freish pines,
he said is very discouraging on account
of the tremendous loss from rot, and
the enormous cost of shipping in cold
storage, to prevent that rot, is almost
prohibitive. He instanced shipments
from one pineapple plantation where
they have practically lost $4,000 on
their crop the receipts not having even
paid for the freights.
Under these conditions there are left
only very few crops which can be
safely grown by the small grower with
the idea that there is to be certain
market for the stuff. He had no hest
tation in saving that rubber can be
grown that will give a reasonable price
for whatever of that crop he gets, pro-
vided it is brought to the market in
standard form.
He spoke of his recent visit to the
mainland and the fact that in many
instances where he registered at hotel,
rubber men came to him and asked if
rubber was being produced in Hawaii.
They wanted to know how much they
could get here.
He believed that cotton could be
grown as bproduct with rubber, but
did not recommend tobacco, as the lat
ter required too much soil strength,
which would have bad effect on the
rubber trees.
Tapping in Java.
F. T. P. Warehouse, who recently
returned from visit to two rubber
plantations in Java in which he is in
terested, gave an interesting talk on
the methods of tapping trees there. He
said the coolies were better trained
nowadays and that gouge now used
/ brought more latex than heretofore.
Cuts were different today than few
years ago. The old herringbone system
produced lumpy bark. He gave an
! idea of the methods of caring for the
latex after the tree was tapped. He
said that owing to the great demand
4 today for rubber younger trees were

being tapped, but this system, of
course, required larger number of
trees to be tapped to get the same
weight of biscuits of rubber, than from
older ones.
Mr.. Waterhouse said his company in
Java was quite up to date and that it
was using disc. harrows to cultivate the
land between rows of rubber trees.
Enemies Of Trees.
f. NJ. Ehrhorn, entomologist of the
board of agriculture, gave an interest
ing informal talk on the enemies Of
rubber trees and cited the shothole fun.
gus and the aphis which covered the
leaves as on banyan trees with dark
covering. For this he felt that
Bordeaux wash would answer the pur-
pose, of course, taking the trees when
young and not when they have attain
ed a great height.
Tells of Mexican Rubber.
A Mr.. Jarvis, rubber planter Of
Mexico. stated that a plantation in
which he was interested in Mexico was
about year old. The first month they
planted twenty acres from wild plants
from the forest. These are now doing
we'll. Last May they planted 100000
trees entirely from seed. From tap.
pings they have obtained a standard of
9S per cent. The American Manufac-
turing Company of Oakland pronounced
their samples the very best.
AT the morning session number of
papers were read. Mr.. Lindsay gave
statistics concerning the industry.
There are in the Islands five incor-
porated companies whose principal
business is the growing of rubber. Sta
tistics were read from all of these and
also from two individual planters. The
whole Territory was represented with
the exception of Oahu and Kauai. Six
reports were received from Maui and
one from Hawaii. The acreage con-
trollcd by these companies and indi-
viduals is $500 acres. The acreage
planted to date is 1888 acres. viz: 242
in Hevea. 1902 in Ceara and four acres
with other varieties. The total num-
Der of rubber trees planted is 430, 140,
of which 79,940 are Hevea, 349, 400 in
Ceara and 500 with other varieties.
Four plantations practise clean cul-
tivation, the managers of two of these
considering it absolutely necessary.
From reports received there are IL 900
rubber trees that may possibly be
tapped commercially during the year
1910. Fertilizers are considered too
expensive to use in sufficient quaint.
ties at present to be beneficial.
C. ]. Austin was the first speaker,
and spoke at length on Hevea and
Ceara. He seemed inclined to favor
the former, although it was slower
grower than the latter. "Hevea is
coming in strong" said Mr.. Austin,
"and the average time for tapping
should not exceed six years.
L. F. Turner's paper on inter crops
was exceedingly interesting aud should
prove of inestimable value to prospec-
tive rubber growers. By planting
"catch crops, - such as corn, cucumbers,
radishes and melons between the rows
of young rubber, expenses may be min
imized to great extent. These will
not exhaust the soil if properly looked
after. A good method is to let out
certain portions of the land to Japa-
nese cultivators, who will look after
the growing rubber trees in exchange
for the use of the land between the
rows of trees.
