GRADE ALL PRODUCE 7
BEFORE SHIPPING II

With all that has been said about
grading country produce, shipments
continue to come to this market by
every island boat with absolutely no
attention paid to either packing or grad
ing. A short time ago a Honolulu mer-
chant went down to the wharf and
bought bag of lines for seventy five
cents, He took them to his store and
graded the lot and sold them at net
profit Of FIVE dollars. Now the " small
farmer" who shipped the lines could
have got that extra five dollars himself
IL he had graded his fruit and boxed
II before sending it to Honolulu.
Boxes and crates cost money, but
they are worth the extra cost, because
they improve the looks of the produce
and thereby create a demand for Il.
Fruit or vegetables tied in filthy grain
bags and offered for sale in that shape
have a great big black mark against
them to start with. If the stuff Is
jumbled together in the bag, big and
little, sound and spoiled, dirty aud
clean, 1t is almost a miracle to sell
II at any price. Grade everything before
shipping to this market That is the
only way to earn success in small farm
ing. s. =.

Sore-Head Cured By Virus

DR.. v. A. Norgaard has been testing
the new sorehead remedy on q
flock Of young turkeys owned by Miss
Ladd. There were sixteen birds hatch,
ed out to start with and because Of the
rainy weather and the soggy condition
Of the ground all very promptly took
the disease. -Four had died before the
assistance of the board of agrieulture's
expert was asked.
DR.. Norgaard inspected the birds and
found all in about the last stages of
starvation, their heads swollen, eyes
closed, and threats and beaks eanker-
GUS and seabby. He removed the scabs
from. one of the young turkeys, ground
them up in water and prepared the
virus, and then innoculated the dozen
survivors, all Of which looked as though
they had only few hours to live. One
of his patients had become permanent.

anee of the flock have all recovered
after two, or three injections of yirns
and now look as though they never had

Lemons and Lines

HawaiianJgrOwerst who have lime
trees can reasonably expect higher
prices for their fruit this year. The
recent freeze and storms in Southern
California are reported to have severe.
ly damaged the lemon crop, and i'm.
ports from Sicily and Italy are almost
entirely cut Off on account of the war.
Hence lines and lemons will be short
this year. ..t..&. va
Lemons grow to perfection in oIaa,
Hamakua and the windward districts OF
all the Islands. There were orchards
Of lemons in Olaa fifteen years ago,
but at that time there was no island
market for the fruit and the trees were
cut down. With the steady increase
in the city and army population, this
situation has reversed itself. and there
is now growing demand for LINES,
lemons and all other homegrown fruit.
The farmer who plants a lemon or.
chard cannot go far wrong.
