Agriculture OF PHILIPPINES
COVERED INDETAIL in REPORT

Agriculture projects in the Philip
pines, carried on In the development
of the land on those islands, are sci
out in the report of j. F. Boomer in
he daily consular and trade reports
with especial mention being given to
the S705.000 to be loaned by the gov.
eminent to sugar planters to assist
them in marketing their crops. The
entire report is of great interest. Su.
gar, rice, bananas and hemp are given
a place in the report, which follows:
Aids to Sugar Industry.
: The Philippine government has set
aside $4,000 to be loaned to sugar
planters to assist them in making
and marketing their crop for the cur
rent year. This money is to be loaned
through the Bank of the Philippine
islands on the crop now being har-
vested. No loan shall exceed 81 per
ricul Obs 1-3 pounds. Sugar usually
sells in the market for s1.75 to $3.50
ger picul.
The government, through the bu.
reau of science. is making a strong eff.
fort to save sugar growers from the
annual loss entailed on their industry
by unscientific methods Of handling
the crop. Special attention is being di-
rected to the practice Of crushing
cane before maturity. 1t is estimated
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
are annually lost through this practice.
1t is due in part to custom and in part
to lack of sufficient machinery and la,
Dor to handle an entire crop within
the period of ripening and subsequent
deterioration Planters begin to
crush their cane some time before il
has reached the point of maximum su.
gar value and continuing into and
through that period. This practice re
suits in several grades of sugar and
causes pecuniary loss.
The sugar experts of the bureau Of
science have figured out plan
whereby the shortage of labor may
largely. be overcome by carrying on
the planting at the same time with
and by the same labor that does the
harvesting. A campaign of education
Is being carried on to wean the plant
ers from their expensive traditions.
The first boatload of families for
the rice colony" project of the gov
eminent of the Philippine Islands
reached the Cotabato valley on June
49, There were 113 families, carrying
their household effects, implements
end carabaos. These families were
recruited in Cebu, the most thickly-
settled island of the archipelago. !.
The 113 families are to be followed
soon by about 500 families more from
Cebu. Recruiting has been carried on
through the bureau. of labor OF the in
slIlar government. Of which Gen. Man

Notice is being given stockholders
in the Honolulu Consolidated Oil
Company by Castle & Cooke that the
latter is authorized to receipt for as
sessments which have been made
against the stock, amounting to ten
cents a share. In order to avoid de-
linquency, payments must be made be-
fore September IL.
The offer of the Japanese manager
! on Brodie's Kauai, to give fifty dol
lars for every diseased pineapple
plant found on the plantation has put
an abrupt stop to the talk of fun
gus having fixed. itself on the Kauai
pines. The fifty dollar offer, with no
one able to win it. though many have
tried, had promoted the conclusion
/, that the injury suffered by some of
the pines short while ago was due
to too much moisture, rather than a
fungus.
Bids for the erection of the new
Wilder avenue pumping station have
been called <or by Superintendent
of Public Works John W. Caldwell
The bids will not. be opened until

station have already been bought,

The Cotabato valley Is an extensive
fertile region in the southern part OF

for a long distance and offers the best
facilities for rice growing. The re

Canning Factory.
The Manila Muicipal Board Is con-
sidering the purchase Of suburban
area for subdivision and laying out

Congestion of the Tondo district is

first canning factory in the Philip
pines. Coffee and spices win be Inn

tracts, and general line Of grocer's
sundries win be put up.
Decline in Hemp.
Discussing the big stump In hemp, a
local commercial authority on the f1b-
er said there had been falling on
In production this year as compared
with last of $4,000 bales, this up
Ito June II. Last year production was
639, 600 bales, as against $4,000 bales
this year. The falling on in produc-
tion up to the end of this June, the
half year, Is estimated at 10000
bales. In the matter of export the
decrease for the first six months Of
this year compared with last year Is
placed at 100000 bales, which means
that the demand for hemp has fallen
on $4,000 bales. The natural result
of such a slump, he says, is fall in
prices.
Studying the Banana.
The Bureau of Agriculture of the
Philippine Islands has undertaken
the thorough study of the banaha
bctanically and COMMERCIALLY, and
has been engaged for some time III
making collection of banana plants
from all over the world with view Of
securing data as to certain questions
interesting TO students Of botany, and
also with q view of elaborate exper-
imentation for commercial purposes
as to the comparative values Of the
many varieties, the possibilities Of
improvement there may be in cross

the July total is the smallest of any
month this year, or, indeed, since
Septefnber, 1912. Compared with July
d year ago the decrease in the NUM-
Der is slightly more than per cent,

| IA per cent, while the decrease from

sion mentioned, aided by some few
smaller suspensions, were four times

Referring to the indications that the
depression will soon disappear, and
business will recover from its late in
activity, Henry Clews. in his latest bull
letin, speaks Of the tariff, and curren-
| cy bills as follows -
There are other reasons, however,
for regarding the situation as more
satisfactory, The tariff bill win soon
become law. its provisions are pretty
wen settled. and have been largely
discounted. As soon as the bill Is
definitely passed, there will be a
prompt resumption Of industrial and
commercial activity, rendered impera-
tive by the gap in supplies after near
lly q years Conservatism in buying
and selling. The prospects of more
satisfactory currency bill are increas-
| ing daily. Inc progress of the new
measure is somewhat painful and
slow, but such changes as have been
made in the proposed bill are gener-
ally of a desirable nature, and a rea-
sonably satisfactory bill promises to
pass the House during this session of
Congress. The Senate is somewhat
doubtful, although it remains to be
seen as to how far President Wilson's
growing influence will overcome that
obstacle. .

Superintendent of Public Works
Caldwell has awarded the contract

In the neighborhood of $4,000 is
being expended at the plant of the
Oahu Ice and Electric company at
Hustace and Dreier streets. When
the improvements are completed the
company will be able to handle. the
gigantic demands made upon il dur
ing the hot weather, yielding an out
put of ice far greater than at present
produced.
From the standpoint of number. the
July report of business failures made
"a quite satisfactory showing, but
hardly as much can be said for the
statistics of liabilities, which, swelled
by heavy bank suspension in Penn
sylyania, were the largest reported
for any month since January, 1908,
and exceeded those for any prior July
since 1898. With this one suspension
the effect of which upon general
business seems to have been exceed
ingly slight-deducted, the total liza
bilities were but little above the nor
NAL for an ordinary month. Indeed,
were it not for the necessity of in
Guiding this suspension which rath-
er distorts the showing as a whole
among the statistics. because of its
relation to the general business COM
munity, the months record for July
would not be an extraordinary one.
There. were 1,061 business failures re-
ported to Bradstreet's for July, with
liabilities of s55,224,SSS and assets of

taken out a years course OF
study through the lnterna-
tional Conservatory OF Music

Through these courses Mr..
Thrall says the band can ac-
ouire a greater degree Of pro-
hclency in one year than 1T is
possible to do in five years
without these studies. Prof.
Thrall will bring the Louis
will Concert Band to Philadel
phia Friday April 4th. where
they will give a grand con-
