EXPERTS ENGAGED
TO SAVE QUALITY
OF HAWAII PINES
Cross Breeding May
y Solve Big Problem
Of Canneries
FRUIT SHRINKING

The smooth cayenne pineapple that
has made Hawaii famous, just as a
certain brew of beer il advertised To
have made Milwaukee famous, is de.
teriorating. This year it was smaller
than last and next year il is expected
to be still smaller. Thus the canning
companies face great losses.
The Gamers, however, see n way out.
Experts have been engaged and are
nCw at work on cross breeding and
the result Of their efforts is expected
Z to be pineapple that is better than
the smooth cayenne ever was.
Failure to rotate crops with conse.
.quent soil deterioration is given as the
reason for the smooth cayenne's re-
dueed size. With this in view the ex-
perts are working on plan which in
cludes not only planting of a new
variety but a rotation OF crops and
fertilization to such an extent that the
new pineapple may be produced in ex.
aetly the quantities desired at the
planting.
Harold l.. Lyon, pathOlogist of the ex-
pertinent station Of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association, is directing
the experiments for the Gamers. With
the staff under him he is endeav oring
to obtain cross between the smooth
cayenne and the old native Hawaiian
pineapple. The latter fruit is small
and consequently not suitable for can.
ming, but is much sweeter than the
cayenne.
It is hoped by the cross to obtain a
pineapple as large as the cayenne for.
merly was and as sweet as the old Ha.
waiian pineapples. This will mo,n
thousands of dollars annually to the
Gamers and remove the perm OF Iosseo
now faced by deterioration of the
cayenne.
Announcement of the experiments
was made yesterday by Fred w. Mac.
farlane, president of Libby, Mcneil &
Libby of Honolulu. He said the can
ners had obtained the services Of Mr..
Lyon for a consideration to the plant
ers' association and that Mr.. Lyon
and his staff were giving part of their
time to production of the new species
of pineapple.
$50, as the smooth cayenne has
made Hawaii famous Mr.. Macfar-
lane said, owe hope with the new pine
apple to make her still more. famous. "

HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE
INCREASES IN DEMAND

Six thousand grocers on the main
land desire to show Hawaiian canned
pineapple in their windows.
Fred W. Marfarlane, president Of
Libby, McNeill & Libby of Honolulu,
said yesterday he had received such
information from the mainland agency

majority, or compact organization

ways in the various counties officers
have failed to do their duty and allow

to be committed without interruption
because they were unwilling for the
timeb eing to make themselves un-
popular with certain classes. This
law is applicable to all cases of this
kind. would not agree to the plac-

Thee ompany appropriated $5,000,000
for the work ofbuilding forty miles
of roadin making this extension. The
route is through a rugged mountain
district with many tunnels and high
trestles. The longets tunnel is about
5000 feet in length, and most of the
distance was cut through solid rock.
With the opening of this extension,
the "Ciinchfeld" becomes one most
important coal-carrying roads in the
tcounGy. Through the Chesapeake
and Ohio connection, this roadnow
extends through Ohio to the lake re-
gion, and is thus given an opportun-
ity to add fabulously to its caring
capacity. The road extends SOUTH
ward through Tennessee and the Car
olinas to Spartanburg. S. c., and will,
to seabord at Charleston. Mark w.
Potter is president of this road and
has associated with him other big
New York financiers.
