SMALL FARMERS ALL
FAIL IN MAUI SECTION
Superintendent Starrett Tells
About Their Troubles; Lack
of Water.
Mail Special to The Advertiser)

(Mail Special to The Advertiser)
wAILUKU, September 20.-Superin-
tendent Starrett, of the marketing di-
vision of the territorial department,
spent some days on Maui recently. He
travelled all over the Kula district, and
ne has a sad tale to tell regarding the
state of affairs on the mountain side.
"The small farmers are up against
it, good and hard" remarked Starrett,
"and quite a number of them have had
to leave their farms and go to work on
the plantations. The district looks aw-
full and all dried up. One would not
think it was the same district that I
visited some months ago.
"The corn crops that looked so pro-
missing have failed, and it is pathetic to
see the fine promised crops withered
and dead. Most of the ears reached
half maturity, and then stopped on ac-
count of the lack of moisture.
"There has been no rain, and the
pipe line just gives enough water for
domestic purposes. Some Of the peo-
pie claim that sometimes, they run
short of drinking water. They fill small
reservoirs whenever they can, as they
know there is a shortage at times.
! Unsuitable Variety.
"The variety of corn now planted
takes six months to mature, and that is
too long-under the present conditions.
There is for, say, three months, suffi-
cient moisture to take care of the
growth. Then dry spell comes, and
the tall variety of corn, which needs so
much moisture to take care of the
stalks, willis and the ears fail to mature

onions instead. Onions can do well
with little rain, and a splendid variety

lots of the vegetables.
"The onion will be the salvation OF
Kula-until irrigation is possible. Il
