Of their opportunities was DR.. r. v.

territorial market division yesterday.
"Sales are increasing tremendously
and will amount to ten thousand dol
lars q month before the end Of the

Gross sales of farm produce were;

vember, ss02.53; December, Sl512.S2;
January, $1S2O.S2; February, $2l7l.61,
and March, $4lO0.
Indicated sales during April, Judging
from advance notices Of shipments and
orders, may exceed $1,000. The big in.
crease In sales since January are due
to the free advertising given by the
AID Club and the press, DIR. Wilcox
stated.
"The farmers are doing now what
the experiment station has been trying
TO get them TO do for the last thir.
teen years, that is, TO take an inter
est in what varieties Of vegetables,
fruits and field crops are best to plant.
They are beginning to look on farm
ing as a business proposition and are
asking US to tell them what and when
to plant, how to cultivate, irrigate and
fertilize, and, most important Of al,
how to pack their produce for mar.
ket,'' he continued.
"There are lots Of little fab md
faneies on the part Of the buyers of
farm produce--things that the farmer
ought to know about bis own Dusi.
ness, but as a rule does mot. The Ter.
ritorial Market Division, operating as
a government institution, can treat Of
such matters without fear or favor
Mr. Wilcox said that the operating
costs Of the division 20 date have been
less than n Thousand dollars. He be,
lieves that within another FIVE years
the Island growers win be supplying
the home market with practically CIV.

occurrence on the trip. Along the wa

cepted of the theories advanced to ac-
count for the reported explosion was
that the Maui s funnel was burning out
when il passed Barber's Point, and that
the soldiers, seeing the glare, thought

Judge Andrade Imposed Upon by
Coast Dealer; Will Urge Pro
lection for Planters.

Judge Frank Andrade had one of the
local merchants order some alfalfa seed
TO use at his dairy farm in upper Ma.
noa Vaney. The seed did not look ex-
actly right and so Andrade sent q sam
pie to the experiment station for eyami-
nation. DIR. T.. v, Wilcox reported that
one.third Of the seed was dodder, one
third other weed seeds and that abont
half Of the alfalfa seed in the sample
was shriveled or immature.
Judge Andrade stated to The Adj
vertiser yesterday that in his opinion
any mainland scotsman who would
ship seed of this sort to Hawaii is no
better than a common criminal.
Beyond Reach Of Law,
The Pure Seed Law, Act 1O7. of the
Session Laws of 1911, covers the sale
of impure seed within the Territory.
There is, however, no legal method Of
furnishing Inaipland yiolators OF the act
although after the seed arrives within
the Territory the control Of its sale
rests by law in the Board OF Agricul.
ture and Forestry.
The Pure Seed Law on the statute
looks is good law as lar as il goes,
but II does not 60 far enough. Judge
Andrade said he intended to ask the
Board Of Agriculture TO memorialize
congress-, through the proper channels,
to pass law which will provide AIDE.

The United States government has
forbidden the shipment of Hawaiian

should be protected from the invasion
