come of newly organized investiga-
ton and soil survey which the gov
eminent has entered upon on the ma
tional forests of the west Experts
of the bureau of soils Of the depart
ment of agriculture, in cooperation
with the forest service are working on
a study of the agricultural possibili-
ties of all parts of the national for
ests where it is probable that farm
crops can be grown with profit, and
it is probable that there will be avail
able for farming purposes within two
years between 100000 and 100000
acres, providing homes for 10000 to
$4,000 families.
This area of land which will be re-
leased for settlement is larger in size
than the combined area of all Of the
land on the governments irrigation
projects Of the west. The action in
restoring the land to entry is ir accord
with policy entered upon by the
forest service seven years ago, but
until the present year there was no
appropriation which made it possible

agricultural lands Systematically and
on a large scale. July 1 an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 will be available to
carry on the investigation. Without
special facilities, however, the forest
service already has examined and
classified as chiefly valuable for agri-
culture more than 100000 acres, or
land enough for 10000 homes.

Washington-Of a total population
of nearly 100000 in Hawaii in 1910,
nearly $4,000, or 56.6 per cent, OF
those more than ten years old, could
not speak English, the census bureau
reports.
Nearly half are Japanese and more
than half non-Caucasian.
The number of illiterates was ap-

Racially the population Of the ter

1910 the pure Caucasian element num-
bered 44,04S, constituting % per cent.

The Japanese, numbering 1855,

than two-fifths, of the total popula-
ton, while the Japanese, Chinese and
Coreans combined numbered 105,SS2,
or 55.2 per cent, of the total popula'
ton. Persons of pure native Hawaiian
stock numbered 26,041 and constituted
1876 per cent. of the population.
In the decade, 1900-1910, the number
of Caucasians in the population in
creased 1929, or SIS per cent, the
percentage of increase for this race
being practically the same in this as
in the preceding decade. The increase
of the Japanese in the decade l9Oo-
1910 was 1864, or 30.4 per cent. In

WARNS AGAINST MOTH BALLS.

Trusting housewives who have
packed away winter clothing with
compounds calculated to prevent the
encroachment of moths are to be
warned by the department of agricul-
ture that many of the compounds on
the market are worthless. Through
this means much damage to property,
it is believed, will be prevented.
The department announced that
10000 copies of judgments against un-
scrupuloGs manufacturers are to be
printed for the information Of the
public. The decisions made public
were obtained in three suits against
New York companies, one of which
was fined $25 and the other two sen:
fences suspended.
Vigorous prosecution Of manufactur-
ers who misbrand their goods or fall
short in the advertised weight of their
packages is to be undertaken by the
department While the initial fine Is
light, subsequent violations of the law
can be visited by penalties Of fine
not to exceed $500 or imprisonment
for not to exceed one year, or both.
