Minister Of Agriculture Under the

zHOuNIEMy
Small farms for the perpetuation Of
diversified agriculture is a subject
which the residents OF these islands
certainly take a deep interest in, and
one upon which the future of this
territory depends. But this interest
needs organization and cooperation.
Cooperation is the German farmers
stronghold. and II is OF various kinds !;
for instance. the cooperation OF the
banks Steam plows, drainage and
irrigation may also be considered
along this line. Cooperation has
formed the key to their success, and
has started and saved many poor
IL yer.
- pderich BaiffeIsen. mayor Of the
Il ,n& OF FIammersfeId, Germany,
scarted this system His object was
20 rescue the small farmers from the
oppressive grip of the money-lender.
in which undertaking he succeeded so
maryeiously that the Prussian govern
ment sent special commission TO ex-
anime and report on his methods.
II is Of importance 10 this territory
that the truth should be told--and as
honest men we should not be afraid
to tell it--regarding the actual condi-
tons here and the opportunities for a
white immigration. A large number
OF Asiatics are coming to these ISL
ands, mostly as laborers for the pur-
pose of working on the plantations en-
gagged in the sugar industry, but who
subsequently find their way to our
seaports and enter into serious compe-
tition with the American and Euro
pean artisans and small tradespeople.
Looking over the whole field of
Hawaii's marvellous and varied indus
tries, / have an mistaken faith In the
future prospects for our agricultural
industries. What II there should be a
few croakers. ne'er-do-well kind,

ORGANIZATION NECESSARY FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL FARMS

and will require but small amount
of attention each week.
Oyster Farming.
Oyster farming Is another industry
which would recommend as one OF
great profit and possibility. The oyster
is subject to Improvement by cult
walton, and is an industry which may
be successfully carried out on a small
scale. and with little capital An area
Of shallow water is the one essential.
TIE whole secret Of oyster culture is
the furnishing OF proper bodies on
the bottom Of the pool for the attach
ment of the young and by planting
seed oysters upon the bottoms which
are helpful to their growth.
The conditions are thus made more
favorable for larger number to reach
maturity. As under natural conditions,
the young oysters fasten themselves
so close together that the growth
one involves the broadening out
destruction Of hundreds of others 1t
Pearl Harbor today there are a num-
Der of natural oyster beds, and hum
dreds of tons Of empty shells. The
oysters no doubt were packed SO close
" together that they could not lie
fat. but grew vertically side by side,
thus preventing them from opening
their shells. and later DISCRIMINATING
them. Each growing oyster doubt
less had fastened itself to the free
end Of dead shell, and today you
may find a pile Of FIVE or six shells
thus united
The history of the oyster beds Of all
countries deal principally with their
deterioration and destruction. Consul
Canavarro tells me that in his coun-
try today the oyster interest is one
Of the most important industries and
gives employment to thousands Of per-
sens. Millions Of dollars of capital are
invested therein. he says
Oysters are swimming animals and
they are discharged into the water In
countless numbers to be swept away
great distances by the currents. While
was in San francisco recently a.
shipment OF 100000 young oysters.
which had been reared on the Con-
necticut beds. arrived there.

children. The little Princess Elizabeth
was his especial favorite and the ex-
ecution Of her royal father came as an
overwhelming shock to her. The short

she is compared. Her birthplace was
Stockbridge, Mass, and her father was
at one time speaker Of the House Of
Representatives, and later United States

age, and her books dealt largely with
American life in the New England COM
