PINEAPPLES

several shipping agencies. The Ameri-

thousand tons sugar, the Alaskan has

a decidedly marked and improved
condition of the market showed, itself
with the opening Of the stock and bond
exchange Friday. after it had been
closed for a week OF vacation. Adj
yances in the price OF many sugar
stocks were shown when the sales
made during the past week We're rec
orded, and the general tone of the
market was much frmer. F.. ..-
And the same improvement noted on
the stock market is also felt in the
real estate business, which reports
many sales for the past week. 1t is
true that these have, almost entirely,
concerned small lots for resident ipur-
poses rather .than large tracts for
speculation, but larger deals are I'M
der way and the small transactions of
last week are)regarded as forerunners
CT larger ones to be contaminated

The important thing seems to be
that capital is loosening up and that
money is now available on good real
estate security The business read
justment'' which has been predicted
to follow the settlement of the tariff
bill is probably in sight, or anyway its
shadow before.
The change in the market, which
has clearly not been born from hope
of the defeat of the Wilson Under
wood tariff bill sugar schedule at this
session of congress, seems to be based
upon realization that the tariff will
never be taken off sugar permanently,
and also upon the advancing price of
the product in the markets OF the
world.
The sales reported Friday include
all those made during the weeks ad-
journment of the stock and bond ex-
change. They give clear idea of the
steady upward tendency of the mar
ket. A good instance of this is found
in Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company, which was the heaviest sell
er during the week. July 5, when thej

Agronomist C. K. McClelland, of the
federal agricultural experiment sta
ton, contributes an interesting and
important article to the May number
of the Hawaiian Forester and Agricul-
turist, on The Variation in the Quail
ity of Rice" He goes exhaustively
into conditions of cultivation and con-
tents of protein and fat of rice, COM
pairing Hawaiian with Japanese seed
products including the Japanese
grown in Hawaii, and gives instruc-
tioas on the cooking of rice for which
he acknowledges Indebtedness to H.
Tsurashima of the Hawaiian Japanese
Chronicle. Mr.. McClelland says in
part:
when the Japanese of Hawaii
found that the rice grown here did
not come up to the quality of that to
which they were accustomed, what
more natural than that they Should
import rice from Japan to satisfy
their wants? This they have done
and are now doing to the extent of
some 30,000,000 lbs. per year, and for
which they pay premium of one 10
two cents over the price for which
they could obtain Hawaiian rice.
"The experiment station has intro
duced various varieties Of Japan rice
in an attempt to obtain one that would
be of the quality demanded by the
Japanese population of Hawaii. Three
have been tested and have been found
to be to a certain degree of these
varieties as well as one other of
previous introduction inferior to the
imported Japanese rice. Some of the
local well-known Japanese, and also
teachers and missionaries, have aided
in these examinations. The latter
through long residence IN Japan have
become quite expert in Judging cook
ed rice, and they have agreed with
the Japanese in saying that the newly
introduced rices are greatly superior
to any Hawaiian rices which they have
tasted heretofore, but that there is
yet slight inferiority. Whether or
not this deterioration results in one

PARASITE
Threatens

HOP CROP

Hop growers on the Pacific coast
are facing the danger Of having the!i
entire crop destroyed by a little in
sect known as the hop aphis, which
has spread with remarkable rapidity
over California and Oregon, doing
vast damage wherever it settles. The
federal department Of agriculture has
offered its services In the fight
against the insect.
Their number is prodigious. AT the
normal rate of reproduction, provided
that. none of the aphides were de-
stroyed before they had lived an av-
erage life, one winged aphis, which
settles on the hop in the spring, would
at the end Of the fifth generation be
the parent or 4,06S, 9S9 ,S26 living
aphides. weighing 2,f5S pounds.
The hop aphis first came 10 notice
in New York, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin in the early eighties, and did SER
ious damage to the crops in those
states; but il was known as a pest
in the hop gardens of England and the
continent OF Europe long before, and
it was not long after that when it was
found on the Pacific coast. In fact
this aphis has probably been present
on the Pacific coast since the time
hops have been grown there on large
scale.

In his concluding remarks Mr.. Nc
Clelland says:
after all OF this discussion We are
still in the dark as to what is the
real cause of the difference N the
quality of rice and why the hawaiian
grown rice should be inferior 10 the
imported article. The inferiority be-
ing principally. as shown, a matter OF
flavor all that we know is that eth.
er il the climate or soil Of Japan is
some factor which is the cause Of. the
superiority of the Japan rice. We have
grown the same varieties aad have
cultivated them in the same manner
as they are cultivated there. 1t may
be that the cooler climate, or a differ
ence in the length ofsthe growing sea
son, may account for the changes. Or
it may be that the use Of organic ma
nGres in large quantities, which prac-
tice is more common il Japan ex-
eTts All Influence upon the qdaijtyI and

RATES ARE CERTAIN
Also Increase in Weight Of

eral to Issue Order.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Despite
senatorial criticism of the proposed re-

increase in the size Of the packages,
Postmaster General Burleson today an
nounced he would issue the final orders

after the wisdom of making the
changes had been subjected to Search

committee, in the presence of the post
master general.

commerce commission. explaining why
the commission had sanctioned the pro.
posed changes, said ne believed the
postmaster general had ample power
under the law to make the changes.

department ought to, can and will cx-
tend the parcels post until it will carry
all packages up to 100 pounds" he

but when, after such Investigation as

fed that the proposed changes are in
order to promote the service to the
public good or to insure the receipt of
revenue from such service adequate
to pay the cost thereof. it is proper for
