RICE. GROWING DEVELOPS RAPIDLY
IN SOUTH.

Texas rice made its appearance in local mar
sets last year to the CONSERVATION OF some of
the Hawaii growers. It appears now that the
mainland product will be a competing factor
in the Hawaiian trade j.. >....
A despatch from Bay City, Texas, to the New
York World says that the total yield of the
Texas rice crop now being harvested, will be
approximately 100000 bags. Louisiana and
Arkansas will add about 1000 bags There are
many millions of acres bordering on the Gulf
coast of Texas and extending into the interior
for 90 to 100 miles that are susceptible of grow
ing rice. In Arkansas, rice culture has made
great progress during the last few years.
One of the most interesting features of rice
farming in Texas is the colonies of Japanese.
The first was established about fifteen years
ago. Today there are more than 1000 Japanese
in South Texas. They are doing much toward
bringing about agricultural development On
some of their farms the same method of grow
ing rice that is followed in Japan is followed,
but upon larger scale.
Kinta Taukahara, who owns a 176-acre farm
near Dallas says that on fifty acres of truck
crops he received at wholesale prices in Dallas
$671O, or 1874 per acre, and that his okra has
averaged him $500 per acre, cantaloups 5000
per acre and watermelons $3.50 per acre.
Extensive irrigation has made extensive rice
culture possible on many thousands of acres of
land originally untitled for it. Irrigation canals
are constructed by building two parallel levees
over the prairie 100 feet apart, and varying
from three to eight feet in height These
leyees are made the same as railroad dumps,
except that they are not so wide, often extend
ing fifteen miles, and are termed lateral canals
Whenever it becomes known that a rice canal is
going to penetrate certain territory there is
a rush for lands, and by the time the canal is
finished houses are completed and farmers are
engaged in breaking the sod

ONE or THE FEW BENEFITS.

More than q little :attention 1.has been at
tracted to the fact that the European war has
definitely struck blow at the booze traffic
8 Russia ban on the manufacture and sale Of
vodka, of which industry the Russian govern
ment had monopoly, is one of the most note
worthy results of the war situation, but other
nations have taken action quite as significant,
In all cases liquofN has been put under the ban.
The war offices, the general stats and the
officers in the field know that liquor kills eff
cheney and that soldiers who drink are less use
full than those who do not.
When German Samoa was occupied, Col.
Logan, in charge of the British expeditionary
force, issued a proclamation in which may be
found the following section:
No spiritious or intoxicating liquors shall
be manufactured or sold without the written
permission of an authorized officer of the oc-
cupying force nor shall liquor be supplied to
any Samoan native
The worldwide lesson against intoxicants
given by the warning Powers is one of the few
benefits the war has thus far bestowed

rs THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
BLAME?

If the Honolulu police force gets the unenvia
bic reputation Of being unable to preserve law
and order in Honolulu, the situation will be
rapidly aggravated by the activities of men
ready to take their own measures for safety.
Last nights AaIa park affair was needless It
should not happen again. A disciplined and
efficient police force Honolulu must have and
will have. It would be well for the people Of
Honolulu if rigid inquiry both by the military
and municipal authorities would determine and
make public the facts of the gatherings of sol
diers Saturday and Sunday night in a declared
effort to see that men in uniform are not at
tackled by gangs of toughs. Honolulu ought to
know where to place the blame.

1NoPpoRTUNE LEGISLATION.

Attempts by Californians to revive the anti
alien land ownership controversy-for re-
yival of legislation against aliens is certain to
bring up the former dispute in a more outspok
en- manner than overcome at particularly
inopportune time.
Except for a small body of mischief-makers
in Japan, the Nipponese people have no feeling
Of hostility to the United States. The army
and navy clans naturally do not try to allay
what hostility exists, for it is to their interest
to keep up a show of suspicion against Uncle
Sam. But the 0kuma ministry was founded
largely on the discrediting of the military lead
ers who held the whip-hand during the Yama
motto regime, and since the Yamamoto ministry
fell, the cutlery against the United States has
been more than ever confined to a few Toxic
jingosts.
The California controversy passed into the
diplomatic stage and out OF popular dispute.
japan is now occupied with the European war.
1t is not improbable that the martial ardor of
her people would have been given outlet in the
fighting against the Germans, and her leaders
would have been able to make concessions to
American diplomacy In such way as to effect
settlement of the alien-land issue But any
further legislation in California that works
against the real or faneied interests of the Jap
anese will cause further excitement.
Meanwhile the thoughtful and influential
papers Of Toxic are endeavoring to disabuse
American minds Of the idea that Japan's naval
sorties in the Pacific are for the purpose of
winning territory The Toxic Jill thinks that
only mischief makers in the United States will
