Hopes for Future.

Hopes Tor Future.
Besides there are at least a few
instances of what might be termed
successful small farmers. On Maui,
Clarence G. White, of Haiku, and w.
o. Aiken, of Makawao, might be men
toned. We hope, through Mr.. Star
rett, to develop a marketing system
which will make it much easier than
in the past, for a white man to make
a living from the soil in these ISL
ands."
This was the first of a number of
interviews which The Star obtained
in reference to a subject which should
be of vital interest to the Territory.
1t is evident that there are several
conceptions of small farming" in this
community. Some persons seem to
think of it as the growing of general
garden truck-or of a diversified list
of products, and such persons gen
orally are skeptical of the outcome.
Another view is the concentration on
some one or two crops which have
been found to be particularly adapted
to the locality and which have a reas-
onably steady demand in markets
which can be conveniently reached.
The pineapple industry is the first eX-
ample of what can be accomplished
in this line. Pineapple growing was
taken up originally by small num-
Der of persons, most of them malihinis
from California, and their experience

thornless roses. Before their energy
and perseverance demonstrated the
success of this fruit, there were plenty

1t became known, however that it
was the interest aroused in the recent
work of Professor Ricard at Santa
Clara College that lent impetus to the
plans set on foot by Runyon and the
men associated with him in the enter
prise.
Unofficial announcement was also
made that Santa Clara College would
indirectly collaborate with the staff of
the Tamalpais observatory by equip

cost of over 100000.
With these two new observatories
established, California will unquestion-

Monster Refractors Here.
The Lick Observatory on Mount
Hamilton is equipped with a thirty
six-inch refractor telescope. A forty
inch refractor telescope is at the
Yerkes Observatory, Chicago, and the
Mount Wilson Observatory, near Pasa-

scope. A 1OO+nch reflector telescope
is now being made for Mount Wilson.

ton and Corn.

| The committee having in charge the
encouragement of the planting of cot
ton in this county, have made their
| report on the planting of last year.
| They find that about 600 acres of cot
ton We're planted, about one-half of
which was sea island. The seasons
were unusually bad, very heavy rains
falling at intervals of weeks shortly
after the seeds were planted. This,
or course damaged the crops very
considerably, and had the tendency
to discourage some few of the plant
ers. However. this should not be the
case for two reasons, first, because
II was very unusual season, and
second, the farmers should seiect
their highest lands for planting and
should proceed promptly to do the
necessary draining This can be ac-
compiished by almost all the land
owners in the county by draining
small areas.
The committee urges the cultivation
on the intensive system. The aim
should Tie to make at least one bale
OF sea island to the acre and one and
half to two bales of short cotton
This result can be produced by prop
er fertilization and cultivation.
There were no contestants for the
largest yields produced on five acres.

mad excellent results in the yield of
hVe acres OF long cotton, to wit: 2,422
pounds of seed cotton. These gentle
men did not contend for the prizes
because Mr.. Parker was chairman of
the committee in charge of the mat
ter. The first prize for one acre of
long cotton was awarded to Mr.. Per-
ry Allen, of Glencoe, Camden county,
who produced, a ;2S5 pounds of seed
cotton, while the second prize was
won Dy Mr.. II. II. Arnett, of this coun.
ty, who produced 554 pounds of seed
cotton on one acre. The committee
having this matter in charge has de-
cided to offer prizes for the best yield
of sea island and short cotton on one
acre during this year, and also for
the best yield of corn on one acre.
Second prizes will be given in each
class. The committee is satisfied
that some of the farmers will raise
at least 100 bushels OF corn to the
acre. Formal announcement will be
made by the committee Of the offer
and conditions of these prizes within
a few days.
