Conservation Fund Practically
Gone on Account of Rushed
Work on Survey.

The territorial government is upl
AGAINST a nice little matter in high
finance as concerning the welfare OF
the conservation fund. Pretty near all
the money appropriated for the period
has been spent, in fact but SIX hun
bred dollars remains, and there Will be
no more money coming in until Novem-
Der next, unless a portion of the fed
eral concession of $4,000 is drawn on
to make up the deficiency.
And this is probably what Will be
done. At least half of the federal Slo,-
600 is available and out OF that AMI
the few hundred dollars remaining from
the territorial conservation fund, which
is twenty-five per cent of the special
tax provided by the last legislature,
the bureau of agriculture and forestry
and the surveying work will probably
be conducted until November when the
next bunch of money from he taxes
will be received.
During the fiscal year ended June
80. last there was spent for conserNa-
ton of local natural resources the sum
Of $S6,464.19 out of the sum of S9o,-
1874 available for such purposes, m
GLIDING work in the departments OF am
NAL industry. entomology, etc.
During that period there was paid
out for Typographical survey the sum
of $25oS7.23. and for photographic
work the sum Of $10,601 81. Aid to
| federal experiment station amounted to
| s.. 500. 50. and fencing Pupukea. etc,
amounted to S94694. The topograph-
! zeal survey amounted to much more

Of other islands. The Island of Kauai

The fact is that the work has beer

Secondary DaIryino.

Secondary dairying is being prac-
tised by too many farmers. When
anything had to be neglected II was
always the dairy. and for this reason
the profits from their diaries have
been small. Where milking machines
have been introduced they have in
fiuenced dairymen TO clean up their
farms and take more pride In their
work This naturally will result In the
production OF cleaner milk and in some
cases. better prices. ANY practical ap-
paratus which has a tendency to i'm
prove dairy conditions should be well
coined by the industry.
