Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, April 21.-That an
attempt will be made during the sixty
second congress to place sugar on the
free list seems certain. That such a
move will succeed is not even regard
ed as likely, although there is reason
to believe some reduction of the tariff
may be secured. Thus far there has
been very little talk about sugar, al
though every other tariff has been
freely discussed. The large represen-
tation from the Southern sugar states,
as well as the western members from
beet sugar states, will undoubtedly see
to it that no material reductions are
made in the sugar schedule.
William N. Dykman of Brooklyn,
counsel for the Arbuckles, visited
Washington recently and appeared be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee

The BETTER WAY.

Ex-senator Depew, at the University
Clubs recent dinner in Washington,
said of a certain reform:
'As l take my farewell of politics,
would tell my reforming friends that
they are going about this business
in the wrong way. l would refer
them to Grants remark about the
stream.
when Grant was President a
southerner came to see him about an
appropriation to have a certain stream
dIedged.
70" Let's see,' said Grant, didn't l
cross that stream
"'You certainly did, Mr. President,
said the southerner.
Grant unused a moment, chewing
his cigar. Then he said:
LOOK here, why don't you mac
adamize it?'"

.HAWAII'S TRADE
FOR FEBRUARY

Hawaii had an aggregate commerce
of $6,056,931 for the month of Feb
lTuary. This represents a net increase
of $72S.670 over the same month last
year.
There was an increase of 1852, 1896
in merchandise imported from the
United States, and of $13S,26S in Ha-
waiian products shipped to the United
States. Sugar shipments were $45.769
more in value for February. 1911.
than for the corresponding month last
year.
Exports from Hawaii to foreign
countries show an increase of S23S.-
754 for the month considered, while
imports from foreign countries gained
only S31,913.
Domestic merchandise from the
United States amounted to 81 1926, 665,
and foreign goods therefrom TO
$16,757.
Hawaiian products shipped to the
United States were of the value Of
$3,796,997, and United States goods
returned to the mainland $6S,915.
} Imports direct from foreign coun-
tries in February were 1888, 1926, and
expots of domestic products to for
eign countries $247,597.
For the eight months ending with
February this year, as compared with
the corresponding period ended in
1910, the showing of the latest trade
returns from Washington is not favor
able on the face, there being a con
siderable decline in the aggregate
commerce. Yet this period is not TO
be taken as a gauge of the current
fiscal year. for the unfavorable tale of
figures is accounted for by a late
sugar shipping season.
Total imports from the United
States and foreign countries were
$1S,595.9S9. an increase for the period
of $2,2S2,7O7. Total shipments to the
United States and foreign countries
were $21,911,599, a decrease of 1882,
22O. There is thus net decrease of
$S49,513 in Hawaii's aggregate CON-
merce for the eight months, amount.
ing as the latter does to $4O,5O7, 5SS.
AS the sugar shipments to the main.
land for the period are $4,141,6S less
than for the corresponding period last
year. 1t is easy to see that when the
sugar crop--which is not a short one
and which is meeting higher prices
than last year-has been marketed
the showing for the year will be i'm.
proved by millions.
! A particularly gratifying feature Of
the figures is the item of S41S,263 for
exports of Hawaiian products direct
to foreign countries, which is an in
crease of $357,S6O over the cores
spending period of eight months end
ing with February last year.

BIRD THAT is BEES ENEMY.

Bees have enemies of various kinds
like the rest of creation. Every one
knows that many birds are insecti-
vorous, but an insects do not form
the food of any one species.
The bird which has formed a taste
for bees is the blue tit, and if a pair
of these discover suitable nesting
place in the neighborhood of an APP
iary, it is surprising how many bees
will be carried off to satisfy them
and their young. Generally their work
is mostly felt where queen raising
is extensively INDUCED in, for queens
and drones, being largest and slowest
on the wing, form a desirable and
easy prey.-Agricultural Economist.

CONGRESS EXPECTED TO VOTE DOWN
EFFORT TO REMOVE SUGAR TARIFF

and expressed the views of independ-
ent sugar dealers. In the interest OF
the consumers and of maintaing
competition, he demands that sugar
be placed upon the free list. He as
serted that sugar is being made to
cost the American people $15O,O00,O0O
year more than it ought, in order
that about $3O,OOO,OOO a year revenue
may be raised from it," He also stat
ed that beet sugar interests are MAX
ing immense profits because of the
protection they enjoy, and that eff the
sugar trust is permitted to go on a
few more years surrounding the sugar
supply, it will be too late to do any
thing for the people through revision. "
The Department of Justice is at
work on a case to compel the sugar
trust to relinquish it's hold on beet
sugar concerns, under the antitrust
law, and it is expected this case will
be filed sometime this year.

The Weather and the Crops.

The past weeks weather has been
stall to the good from the stand
point of the planters, although a bit
too hot for the average mortal. the
temperatures recorded throughout
#he greater part OF the period having
been some degrees higher than those
aotad at any previous time this sum-
mer. While causing a certain degree
of distress to man and beast, the.
torrid spell has had the effect OF
Trying the fields and roads and thus
rendered. possible the harvesting Of
the rice and cotton crops at a rate
of progress somewhat in line with
normal conditions.
While the rice outlook is not what
might be termed promising, still it
is a whole lot more encouraging now
than was the case several weeks ago,
and the indications are that the yield
will be materially in excess OF estl-
mates made during the recent wet
spell
The daily receipts Of rough rice at
the Donaldsonvi1le rice mill have as
sumed large proportions and the big
plant is now operating on full time.
Much cf the rice is quite wet and a
great deal of it is sun-cracked. but
every effcrt is being made to manu-
facture the very best grade OF the
cereal possible from the rather IN.
satisfactory material at hand. and
some nice looking lots are being turn
cd out.
Nothing much was expected of cot
ton locally this year and hence the
growers of this crop will not be
greatly disappointed, although the
| Weld will be far short Of what would
have been obtained under ordinary
| conditions.
The harvesting Of the corn and nay
| crops is under way, and as notl y
these products were materially dam,
aeed during the recent prolonged
wet SPELL the yield will be consider,
ahly eurtailed as compared with the
average output.
