The losses Of stored grains and farm

up into the thousands Of dollars every
year Here in this warm climate the
grain moths and weevils do not wait
for some crops TO be harvested but
eommense their destructive attacks in
the field. This ia particularly the case
with beansNHBd corn,
Such losses in the field are hardly
preventable but when the crop has
been harvested further damage can be
prevented by fumigating the stored

c. A. Sahr agronomist Of the Hawaii

specially made timigating box at the
Maui Fair by the use of which weevil
injury can be absolutely prevented,
other than the incidental damage done
by the bugs in the field. .-.
The money loss without fumigatioD
is very high. The cost Of fumigatioD
is low. Hence the farmer who does
not fumigate his corn and beans is not
good farmer.

gases used, depending on what the pest
is that must be killed.
A 24-hour fumigation with gas of the

COAST BALL PILOTS 1: &; /:
PtANFOR NEXT YEAR

While it is far cry to the next Pa.
ciGc Coast League baseball season, the
rival managers already have begun TO
drop hints as TO what they intend doing
to their organizations and according to
these early intentions, it seems more
than probable the baseball enthusiasts
of the Coast will see many new faces
in the hne-ups of the clubs next spring.
Oakland, Of course, is believed to be
destined for the biggest shakeup, owing
to the poor showing made by that or
ganilation during last season. Manager
Del Howard, who assumed the reins in
mid season, when the Oaks were hope.
lessly out Of the race, likely is to recon
.struct his entire baseball machine with
the possible exception of few Of the
men who showed up favorably.
WolSerton, the San Francisco man.
ager, already has begun trying to build
up competent pitching STAFF, of which
he was sadly in need during the 1915
race. He also is in search of a good
first baseman and catcher and states
that deals are pending for men to fill
these places, but he withholds their
identity. To fll the team, Wolverton
says he has in view a brother Of Fritz
Maisel, a former Detroit player who
finished the season with the interna.
tiOnal league.
Salt Lake loses its two best pitchers
in Percy and Fittery, who 60 to the
majors, which at once places this de,
partment in the negligible class. Sec.
ond and third bases are more likely to
find new men defending them next year
Manager. McCreedie of Portland has
made no secret of the fact that he is
not entirely satisfied with the personnel
of his team, and is known to have been
on the lookout for new material, al
though he has not said much ab,r.t what
he has done.
Los Angeles and Vernon, which fin,
ished first and second respectively in
tho league, are less likely than any of
the older clubs to undergo material
changes.

PINEAPPLE EXHIBIT At
FAIR PROMISES WELL

The pineapple division, in charge Of
w. I. Wells, promises to be an unusual
ly interesting and instructive exhibit.
Not alone will the perfect pines for
which Mau! county is known be shown
at their best, but the ideal pineapple
plant in various stages of develop
ment will be exhibited as an object
lesson for those who would strive for
the highest type.
A special feature of the pineapple
section at the fair will be a series of
charts and photographs of the now
famous manganese experiments
conducted by the Hawaii experiment
station at Wahiawa. NJ. o. Johnson
the chemist who made reputation for
himself and money for the growers
through the successful outcome of these
experiments, will be on hand to tell q
part of all he knows about pineapples.
Also, which will be both educa tional
and interesting, Mr.. johnson will have
a number of specimens of pines grown
on manganese soils, before and after
treatment with the iron spray. If
there are manganese deposits in Maui
pineapple fields he will advise what to

The Inter Island Steam NaViga.

of the stOkers on its boats by ten
dollars a month and twenty-five
cents an hour for overtime, accord

officers of the steamship company
could be located to verify or deny
the report.
The stokers, including thirty Chi.

stated, presented written demand
recently, signed by themselves, for
increased wages. They said that
the wages of the seamen had been
raised but theirs had remained sta

AUTO POWER GREAT
RACING IN WESTERN
STATES SEEMS SURE

SAN FRANCISCO, November 60
Acc ording to Al. Dobson, the prominent
turf official. plans are almost complete
whereby a Thoroughbred circuit will be
in operation in the West next summer
A bill for pari-mutuel form Of bet,
ting. with limited meetings, will be in,
troduced in Washington, and if it goet
through there will be an announcement
of dates, with Seattle and Spokane as
the nucleus of the circuit, and meetings
in Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona
and possibly Idaho and California.
Another proposal that has been made
for the best interests of the breeding
industry is for the light harness and
thoroughbred horsemen to get together
and work in harmony. For years past
they have been rivals.
The old programs of mixed trotting
and running races were tried at the
Stute fair and other meets last season
and were said to have worked out sue,
cessfully
With view to organizing one OF
the biggest and best sulky circuits Cali
fornia has had in years, track owners
and managers of race meetings are be
ing urged to get together next month
and map out plans for the 1917 season
Attention has been called to the ben
efits 10 be derived from early action.
During the season just eibsed there
were nine associations 'in'fthe Colder
Gate that promoted successful meet
ings. Assurance is gwen that the same
associations will be back on the circuit
next season, with the addition of sew
eral others. The call has been ISSUED
for these associations to send represen
tatives to meeting, where it would re
duire only a few hours work to arrang'
a program and dates.

expected that horses would be attracted

II is said the trouble in the past ha
been that the promoters have put OF
making their announcements until tn

the effect Of keeping the horsemen un
