CARRIES GREAT DEAL
OFYERY VALUABLE INFORMATION

! One of The most interesting reports
issued lately is that of the Hawaii
Agricultural Experiment Station. o.
which Dr. +. V. Wilcox is the special
agent The report covers the fiscal
year OF 1912. and in addition to de
failing the work being done there,
many interesting papers on subjects
! of interest 10 the sugar, fruit and
vegetable growers are given, such as
on the lie of the fruit fly. the harm
of the mosquito, review of the pine,
apple industry. H.. >::.>..
1t is quite a complete Hstle look
and will undoubtedly be read with in
terest by many persons. here. DIR.
Wilcox is the author of the first artl-
Gle, which is a summary of the in
Vestigations conducted by the station
during The year, and in it ne outlines
the work planned by the station for
the coming year as well as reviews
that of the past. .: IT,. .. ... 49, >. r.
In addition to his review, there is
the report of the entomologist, hor-
ticulturist and assistant and chemist
of the agronomist, report; of the SUI
perintendent of the substations at
lilo and Gienwood, and Of the rub
Der stations. W.. .....-,.s~ ..-.. III
Probably the two articles of the
most general interest are found in
DIR. Wilcox's report, one being a re-
view of the work of the entimolo-
gists, the other of the .horticultur-
lists. Below the given the two
reports: .-.~s,
The chief efforts of the entomolo-
gist during the year were devoted TO
study of the Mediterranean fruit
fly, mosquitoes, certain parasites OF
the cotton bollworn, algaroba bean
weevils, and scale insects. The prac-
tical work in combating the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly has been carried on
under the auspices of the territorial
government. The entomologist and
the special agent in charge of this
station, however, have been consulted
and have taken part in all OF the
active measures which have peen
adopted. According to the present
plan of the campaign the parasites
of the Mediterranean frui tfly and
cotton boll-worm which it is hoped
to obtain in Africa will be hendled,
bred, and distributed by the entomolo-
gist of this station. In addition to the
usual breeding experiments to de.
termine the variety of fruits affected
by the Mediterranean fruit fly, con.
siderable attention has been given to
trapping and to the use of poison
ed spray in combating the fruit fly
A number of trips were also made to
the Kona coffee district to ascertain
the extent of infestation of coffee
with fruit fly, the amount of damage
actually done by the fly, and to in.
itiate practical measures for control,
ling the prevalence of the pests in the
coffee orchards.
Some attention WAS given to the
study of the life histories and habits
of the three species of mosquitoes
which are known to occur in the ter
ritory. The immediate occasion for
taking up this work was the fear OF
possible outbreak of yellow fever on
account of the occurrence of the vel
low fever mosquito. 1t was soon
found that the yellow fever mosquito
was much less common than lStego.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-06-19

myia1 Aedes scutellaris, although the
latter species was apparently intro
duced into Hawaii later than the
yellow mosquito. Much useful in
formation was collected regarding the
habits of all three species of mos
! quitces, particularly with reference
to the situation under which the
larvae breed.
The energies of the horticultural
department have been devoted large
. ly to the study of pineappIes and
methods OF propagating the avocado,
mango, papaya and hibiscus. The inn
portance of the pineapple industry of
Hawaii is growing greater day by
day. The output of canned pineapples,
which il was feared two years ago
had almost reached the limit of the
: market for this product, has been
greatly increased, and arrangements
are now being made to nearly double
the area devoted to pineapples. The
demand for canned pineapples has
taken all of the product which could
be supplied and seems 10 warrant this
great extension of the industry. Pine
apples are second only to sugar cane
| in commercial importance in Hawaii
The quality of the product has re-
manned. uniform, owing to the fact
that there are only two commercial
varieties of pineapples in Hawaii and
that these varieties are of quite SIM
liar nature Recent observations,
however, indicate that these varieties
have become mixed on nearly all of
The plantations and that one of them
IS decidedly inferior to the other The
inferior variety apparently came from
Queensland, while the superior one
IS apparently the true Smooth Cay
enne. The growers are gradually
eliminating the less desirable variety.
A press bulletin covering the various
cultural and marketing features OF
pineapples was published during the
year. Continuation of experiments in
methods of propagating the avocado
and mango has developed the fact
that these fruits may be marched or
hudded almost with as much facility
as is known to be the case with fruits
CT temperate climates.
The difficulties which had hitherto
made the propagation of superior va
(rieties Of avocados and mangoes uu-
certain are rapidly disappearing.
Similarly with papayas there is
good prospect now that strains of seed
may be obtained which will show al
most complete uniformity in pro-
duct. Hitherto this has been far from
the actual state of affairs. Much seed
obtained by the method of crossing
male and female flowers showed
variation which was difficult to con-
troll and the products of which could
not in any case be predicted.
On account of the restrictions placed
on bananas by the recent California
quarantine law, it has been found
necessary to take up in systematic
manner the methods of packing which
promise to make possible the ship
nent of bananas to California with
cut danger from scale insects and
without injury to the bananas. At
present it is hoped that the coopera-
ton of the steamship companies can
be obtained in furnishing facilities
for shipping bananas without any.

Ant Hill Forty r eet
High in West Africa

West African ant hills are verita-
BILE giants frequently standing 40
feet high. These ant hills are
shaped something like sugar loaf
and are divided inside into hue
dreds of tiny rooms. They have,
needless to say, myriads of inhabi-
tAnts, ard these are all busilv
making roads, gathering food and
watching over the eggs and young
sters. The natives are afraid to
touch these hills, except from q
distance with firearms. The ants
often make their strongholds
around trees and they are built
very solidly with sides sometimes
twenty inches thick. The inside
is hollow and at the top there is a
sort of attic. The "royal CELL"
where the queen ant lives, is al
ways found on the ground floor.
This good lady is prisoner, but
is carefully fed by her busy sub
jects, the eggs she lays being i'm

SHOE AND SHOE FACTORY NOTES
By Blackstone

Speaking of styles-a good reputation
never goes out of style even in prison.
While tan shoes continue to retain their
place in the public favor it is noted that
the prevailing colors are much darker than
formerly.
w. H. Caldwell, manager Western
Shoe Co., has been in Chicago the past
week showing our product to the retailers
of the Windy city.
Mr.. B., the gentemanly tag maker is
preparing to leave our happy home for other
scenes and pastures new. Mr.. BIS many
friends unite in wishing him success and
prosperity where ever he may go.
Mr.. Montgomery, of Hoge- Montgom-
cry & Co., Frankfort, Kentucky, was an
interested visitor to the factory last week.
Mr. Montgomery company have the
contract in the state prison and make 1900
pair of shoes daily.
Sole leather continues to maintain its
high price and many manufacturers are
sending to England for samples and
prices, in the belief that better leather at
lower prices can be purchased abroad than
can be bought from the leather trust in
this country.
Lynn, Mass, shoe manufacturers are
sending a carload of shoes day to Chicago.
On Nov. l they sent load of 10000
pounds, one of the largest single shipments
of shoes ever sent out of Lynn. 1t it is said
there are more shoe stores on State street,
Chicago, than on any other street in the
world.

Upper leather conditions point to high
er range of prices unless large importations
of hides come from South America. The
prospect for cheaper leather looks quite
more in 1914, l quote from ''Hide &
Leather, the remarks of leading shoe
manufacturer: ''Our product is increasing
each season, both in volume and in price.
Business has been very good, and from all
indications our spring seasons business
will be decided increase over the last.
We feel that we shall not see any cheaper
leather for good while to come, unless
there is great falling off in the demand,
and we do not think indications point that
way. We believe that consumer is
bound to pay higher prices for footwear in
future than he is paying at the present time
The falling off in the number of cattle in
the country, and the greater demand for
leather points, we believe, very conclu-
sively to much higher prices. If the

A THANKSGIVING DAY
By Marco Polo.

There are two historical and tragical
periods of the past which to the writer
will remain indelibly pictured in his
memory; the fateful April morning in
1906 when the earth trembled in Frisco
and, years back of that-in 81, the sink
ing of the Pacific Mail liner ''Colima''
off the coast of Manzanillo, Mexico; on
both of which occasions the writer found
himself more or less in the role of specta-
tor and actor.
| chose the latter incident as the sub
jiect of this recital as the events lead up
to the celebration of Thanksgiving day
entirely out of keeping with the accepted
and accustomed manner of celebrating
that most characteristic of American holt
days. Then, also, the season is approp
riate. Is it not your experience provided
that you have gone through tragic mo-
ment in your past, that some distinctive
act of that moment arises wildly before
your mind in after years, when in a mo-
ment of retrospection the scene again is
pictured in your mind: Well, then, this
is exactly what has often happened to me
as recalled, from the raft on when with
four other fellow passengers found my
self drifting away from the awashed decks
of the doomed ship, the thrilling sight of
that heroic commander Jack Tay-
lor, on the bridge, with his hands Juggling
at the whistle cord as he blowed his
three farewell blasts and bravely went
down to the honorable death of mariner.
A little man in statue, but. what giant
in courage
The departure on that November day of
the Pacific Mail liner "Colima'' from the
mail dock in Brennan ST., San Francisco,
bound on her usual run to Panama and
Mexican and South American way ports
was fraught with no further interest out
side of the usual connections caused by the
busy scenes of the last hurried loads to be
put aboard; the more or less theatrical
adieus passed between friends; the slip
ping of the ships cables and the three
blasts as, prov pointed to the Golden
Gate, the rhythmic beat of the propeller
begins to churn the train of foam at her
wake.
We were a small company of passen-
gers. The ship, an old one and rem
nant of the past glories of the company
when continuous service was main
tanned between Frisco and New York by
way of the Isthmus, was not favorite
with travellers. But she was seaworthy,
roomy and comfortable; two of her sister
ships-the Colon and Acapulco,
are still on the run. This scarcity Of
passengers enabled the company to carry
heavy deck load of lumber; a policy
which the company practised invariably,
though strictly against the law. The hole
of the ship was practically empty; as she
