rers amp operatives in one year alone.
Then the question was raised as to
whether it would not be possible for
the British dominions to yield a sufi-
cient quantity of cotton to reduce
considerably the probability of this
fuctuation of price, and to meet even
tually from imperial sources the main
demand for raw material from Lam
cashire.
1t was with this object in view that
the British Cotton Growing Associa-
ton was founded in 1902 and incor-
porated by royal charter in 1904 for
the purpose of promoting and extend
ing the growing and cultivation of cot
ton in the colonies.
An arrangement was made recently
to date from April 1 last, whereby for
three years a grant of $4,000 is to he
received by the association from i'm
perial funds. In return for this the
association undertakes (a) to raise a
further $750,0O0 of capital; (b) to con-
tinue the work already begun on a
commercial basis; (c) to erect and
maintain for a period of three years
seven pioneer buying and ginning cen
ters, namely, two on the Gold Coast,
che in Southern Nigeria and one in
Nyassa Land Cd to provide free of
charge all seed for sowing purposes
in the Gold Coast, Southern Nigeria,
Northern Nigeria, Nyassa Land, the
cost of distribution being undertaken
by the local governments; and (e) to
carry on as far as possible travelling
and missionary work among native
cultivators in the Gold Coast and
Southern Nigeria and Northern Nige'
ria.
The governments of the colonies
and protectorates concerned under
take on their part to take over and
maintain all the agricultural and in
vestigation work at present carried on
ly the association in the west African
colonies named.

THE LEASED LAND
Of HONOKAA SUGAR

There has for some time particular
ly since the completion of the Hama
kua Lower Ditch been inquiry as to
how Honokaa plantation might fare
should "homesteaders" descend upon
the estate under the terms of the new
law. 1t has been generally understood
that some of the Honokaa lands were
leased from the Territorial govern
ment, and under the law, would be
subject to demonstrating requirements.
Having now a bountiful supply of
water, such lands would ordinarily be-
come exceedingly valuable.
The subject has been investigated
pretty thoroughly, and the position of
Honokaa seems to be about as follows
The estate is composed of approx
mately 5000 acres of land, of which
$3.50 acres are in cane this year. Of
the total area 1000 acres are leased
land, but of this leased land only 800
to 1000 acres are subject to the pro
visions of the homestead law above
referred to.
1t appears further that this leased
land is within the boundaries of the
estate in such way that homestead
ers would find it almost absolutely
necessary to grow cane for the Homo
kaa mill, so that the Honokaa Sugar
Company would stand a more than
even chance of getting the best of the
bargain, should homesteaders actually
acquire the land.
There may be some other way Of
figuring out the proposition, but, if so
it is not clear at this time.

Southern fields, and produces a fiber
that keeps running the looms of thou
sands of mills throughout the world
To some there may have come an idea
that there are varieties Of cotton, but
it is safe to say that the average
Southerner who has not been actively
engaged in the cotton trade will be
absolutely amazed when at the Gal
weston cotton carnival he sees in or
derby rows down the length of the
cotton palace case after case filled
with varieties of cotton, both domestic
and foreign, of whose existence he
never dreamed. Each specimen will
be labelled, little card giving its full
history with details that are of the
greatest interest to the man who has
the least connection with the cotton
industry in any form.
From all over the world. Siberia,

of the world has such complete col

In reference to the statement of Con
gresham Martin published in one of
the morning papers in regard to the
alleged interest of the American Sugar
Refining Company in the Philippines
Congressman Martin must have been
misinformed. The American Sugar
Refining Company has not now and
never has had any interest directly or
indirectly in any lands in the Philip
pines, nor has it at any time sought
to acquire such interest. One of the
directors of the company did purchase
land on his own account without the
knowledge of or consulting with the
other directors, as he considered the
matter purely personal.
The company does not contemplate
any investments whatever in the
