Three Coast Papers Gives
His Expert Opinion

Will Boost Honolulu to Friends
Upon His Return to the
Mainland

Famous throughout the newspaper
and advertising world on the main
land as the man who first started the
campaign which. resulted in the pre-
eminence of the afternoon newspaper
in the big cities of the United States
as an advertising medium, Horace Il.
RhOads, vice president and general
manager of three newspapers CON
trolled by the Scripps League, in
speaking of his experiences this morn
ing, told of how he went about it t.
convince the people OF California Of
the Importance of the afternoon peri
odical.
Being convinced thas the afternoon
newspapers were better advertising
mediums than the morning papers,
he said, Il sent 400 letters to 400 of
the big advertisers, asking them
whether they had enjoyed better ad-
vertising satisfaction out of the MORN
ing or afternoon papers Out Of the
400 papers appealed to. all but is re
sponded. Three hundred and three of
this number, an overwhelming major
ity, stated that they preferred the aft
ernoon paper.
"The results of the canvass were
tabulated by me and were copied in
several hundred newspapers through
cut the country AS a result of the
tabulated results, our afternoon papers
throughout California doubled their
advertising space within very short
time, a great many advertisers conf
ing over from the morning papers.

and energy of the papers in Homo
lulu. Such newspapers speak very
we'll indeed for the progressive spirit
that rules the community"
Speaking of the growing import
ance of Hawaii as far as tourist
travel is concerned, Mr.. Rhoads said
that he expects next year double the
number of people will visit the Para
disc of the Pacific from California
than was the case this year. Il am
delighted with the place beyond
words" he said. "And there is in
California an increasing desire upon
the part of the people to visit Ha-
wall. / know of six tourists who will
come here next year upon the recon-
mendations that / will be able sim
cerely make when l return home
And that is the way it goes with
everyone who visits your beautiful
islands,

Italian Entomelegist Confident That His Dis
covery Will Prove Sure Death To
Mediterranean Fly

Up out of the jungle wastes of
Africa came DIR. Fillippi Silvestri this
morning. There was an expression
of triumph on his face as he walked
down the gang plank of the Sonoma
to greet entonnologistsS OF this city,
who received word two months ago
that DIR. Silvestri had discovered a
parasite to destroy the Mediterran-
can fly, which is responsible for a
ban having been put on the shipment
of many Hawaiian fruits.
In his eyes there was the flash OF
genius, and his step was that OF CON
fidence In two years the pest will
no longer be unmanageable and the
ban on fruits and produce will be a.
thing of the past. 1t was this assur-
ance he brought this morning as he
left the ship which carried him on
the last lap of his long trip.
The hardships experienced in the
remote places of Africa, the defeat
only to be overcome by perseVer
ance and genius, the struggle to keep
the parasites alive when caught
these things were forgotten this
morning by Italy's eminent entomol-
ogist, as he squared himself to a. new
battle, to overcome new obstacles,
and to smile on a new triumph-the
determination of the Mediterranean
fly on the islands of Hawaii.
DR.. Silvestri is both confident and
modest. He says he has been de-
feated before and may be defeated
again, and the toll and hardships of a.
year brought unsuccessfully to an
end. But in the next breath he tells
you he is certain of success and only
the worst of ill-fortunes can rob him
of it. Those who met him at the.
Oceanic wharf listened to his laconicI
account of his work in Africa and the
tedious trip to this city, his assur-
ance that the parasites were alive
and would live and propagate, at the
end of which he found himself con-
graduated on all sides.
He was taken in an automobile to
the station of the Board of Agricul.
ture and Forestry by Z. M. Ehrhorn,
entomologist at the station. There
his first thought was for his para
sites, which are contained in score
of little bottles Temporary arrange
ments were made for the keeping of
the insects. Later the doctor will
prepare a little house for them and

before him.
The matter of conducting this work
will be entirely in the hands of DR..
Silvestri. He has not as yet an
'nouneed his plans and he is not ex-
pected to for day or two. DR.. Ehr-
horn met him befope the steamer
landed, going out in the customs
launch. Coming in they discussed
generally the work of spreading the
parasite, but the doctor did not state
his specific plans.
1t was more than year ago that
DR.. Silvestri was commissioned by
the territorial board to go to Africa
to find such parasite. In Italy he
lad gained fame as an entomologist.
and his successes there in eradicat
ing pests reached the. ears of the
members of the territorial board of
agriculture and forestry.
His work in Africa is a story in
itself. He travelled through the
dense, isolated spots of Congo, An
COLA and Liberia, studying the in
sects. He met with several success
es in locating and securing the para
sites until at last when he reached
Cape Town, where he cabled the To-
cal board that the parasite had been
found. he had five different species

keen interest, and many times, he
would take them from the bottles,
allowing them to creep out into the
sunlight, breaking into ecstacies of
delight when he saw them in good
condition
Thus ne passed the last day of the
trip here. The hours he spent caring
for them, exercising" them, and ex-
claiming in his broken English:
"Ah. re bugs!-they are delight

Which he repeated this morning,
soon after landing, when a represem-

the good health of the insects:
"Ah, ze bugs!" he exclaimed, "They

PREVENT FLOODS

In times of great disaster it is
natural that mems minds should
turn, as soon as everything posi-
BILE has been done to save life and
alleviate suffering, to the means of
preventing a recurrence of similar
catastrophes. We are now facing
a crisis which will put to the sharp
est test our capacity for efficiency
in dealing with things vital to the
safety and happiness of our people.
Will the interest that has been
aroused in means of flood preven-
tion be as lasting and well directed
as the response to appeals for help
has been prompt and generous.

In many potato cellars in the
San Luis Valley visited recently
there is not one which has been
free from the common disease
Potato Scab." There is disease
which has affected the potato crop
in the Valley during the last two
years, which disease is not under
stood by specialists who have been
devoting their time to its study.
1t is different with potato scab.
There is method by which the
potato scab can be controlled.
This method is so cheap in its ap-
plication that there is no excuse
for the farmer who persists in rails
ing scabby potatoes, In view of
the fact that the scab is so wide
spread and has been 80 thoroughly
seeded down in nearly every farm
in the Valley where potatoes are
grown, it will take some time to
eradicate it completely. However,
very little united effort on the
part of the potato growers will re-
suit in cleaning out the disease and
thus making it possible to pro-
duce much heavier yields and at
the same time a crop which is
clean and one which will demand
much higher price.
The method of treating the scab
is set forth in very clear terms by
Mr.. Kern in the Country Gentle
man of April 10Th. Following in
part is his article:
"Potato scab is caused by the
attack of a minute fungous parasite.
Sometimes when the potatoes are
taken from the ground the delicate,
mold-like growth of, the fungous
can be seen at the margins of the
roughened, sunken spots. The
disease is carried through the win
ter by germs or spores which re-
main in the old scab spots or, mix
