The Democratic politicians who went
from Hawaii to attend the. national
convention of their party are now in
Washington, engaged in strenuous
contest over the matter of choosing b
successor to William +. Young as post.
master of Honolulu. Though there Is
O pretty strong impression that the job

in, the November election, Honolulu
candidates are not sparing any efforts
to press their causes.
NJ. c. Pacheco, an active candidate
for the position, is in Washington, and
is said to have the backing Of the
party bunch from here, Pacheco was
a candidate for the job before the ap-
pointment of Young, and was at one
time very near landing the job. 1t is
thought that if any local man gets the
position through political influences,
Pacheeo, working with his friends on
the spot has the advantage. The other
local candidates are William G. Peter

prices.
Such green vegetables as string beans,
tomatoes and .cuGumbers are too plenti,
full, and are selling at very low prices.
Cabbage, sweet corn and green peas are
still scarce and high. A few red beans
are coming into the market and are
selling at $3.50 per 100 pounds There
will be small quantities shipped from
now on but the crop will be small. Isl,
and Irish potatoes dropped 1ac this
week due to arrival of the new crop
from California. All growers who have
potatoes on hand would do well to sell
them before California potatoes get too
cheap.
There are very few Bermuda onions
in the market this year and the price
is very good. Inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding seed for planting next
year. The division is taking orders for

FB|GOR TOO LITTLE
It Depends On Ratio Of Capital
To Land Whether Farming /
Pays /

The size Of business often has much
TO do toward making the furm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
or too largo for the most successful
farming. There may hc too few as
well as too many acres 4 man max
not have enough land or he NAV b,
"land poor" thereby rendering all hi
acres improbable.
About thirty years ago a Wisconsin
farmer with a large FIRMLY WAS deepl,
in debt. His farm consisted Of 100
acres, half Of which was under tthI
pillow. The remainder was woodland and
expensive to clear For twelve YEAR
the farmer had not been quite able Il
meet his interest. To him the who'll
farm consisted Of unavoidable neres
He finally decided that the farm was
too small for the most efficient use Oh
the labor available.
Having an opportunity, he bought al
adjoining eighty acres Of cleared land
going In debt the full amount of thr
purchase price. From that time on TIL
farm was prosperous, and in ten yearf
the entlre farm was paid for and
enough additional money saved TO build
a good house end barn. !
Depends on Overhead
During this period there had been
no great change in prices Of farm pro
duets. The smaller farm had been nm.
profitable because the overhead expen.
ses were too high for so small a bust
ness. In this case acres were made
profitable by increasing their number.
In the early ninPties a North Da.
kota farmer owned three quarter sec
tons Of land. His, farm was quit
heavily mortgaged and for number Of
years he had not been able to nav in
terest in full. His family was smaf
and for most of the work he had TO de
pend on hired help. He concluded tha4
under the circumstances he was work
ing. or trying to work, too many acres
Finally he sold a quarter section am
paid his debts. Seven wears later n,
had $4,000 in the bank. Increased
prices Of farm products during thu
period only account in part for this
farmer 8 increased prosperity. In this
case all the acres had been unproftable
largely because there were too MANY OF
them. G. Mcdowell, in 1915 Year,

Brahma Crosses In Texas

Farm and Home makes favorable
reference to the crossing of European
breeds of cattle with the domestic cat
tie of India. In 1904 herd of fifty.
on" Brnhma or Zebu cattle was i'm
ported into Texas and divided between
tw" large herds. The color of the off
spring in the first generation strongly
resembles the Hereford and shorthorr
parents with which the Indian cattle
were crossed.
A large number Of the animals pro
ducrd by crossing are immune to the
cattle tick. Other characteristics trans
mittrd to the hybrid offspring are size
and frcundity. Hybrid heifers are IF
ty per cent heavier than local heifer,
under similar conditions. The meat i,
Of excellent quality, and the hump i,
considered great dehcacy. The guam
tity of milk is not great, but it is FIRE
quently very rich.

class private will receive pay from the
national government at rate of n I'D.
tie better than a dollar week. pru.
yided he attends at least forty-eight
drills year, or one every week for
forty eight weeks in the year.
Col. G. s. Lincoln, inspector instruc-
tor of the national guard in the is.
lands, said yesterday that all the com.
panies automatically become benefieia-
ries Of the new militia pay law. An
can receive their wages for the frst
six months work early next January,
provided each man, and the company Of
which he is a member, lives up to the
regulations and have twentyfour drills
before December 81 next
Rites OF Pay Good
The rate of pay will be as follows: +
First sergeant, $ll.25 month. or
$l30 n year; sergeants and cooks, $3.50
month or 800 year; corpOrals and
artificers, 1925 q month or 500 a year;

tendance for-that period win be carried
to his credit in the next period.
All enlistments from this time for

Means Much To Islands
In the past the national guardsmcn re-
eeiVed pay only when participating in
the annual encampment and maneuvers.
which lasted only two or three weeks.
For such periods of service they re-
ceived the same rate of remuneration
as the regulars.
1t is estimated that the working of
the new law will mean distribution of
at least 100000 annually among the
guardsmen Of the islands by the fed
cral government. And this does not in

great many of the pears were packed
in barrels without ventilation and as o
result there was n high percentage OF
loss upon arrival in Honolulu. Chinese
bananas are again plentiful due to the
fact that they cannot be shipped tC
the Coast. There are not as many a.
there were some time ago but price,
will be low. Isabella grapes are plenti
full and it will not pay growers on the
other islands to ship to Honolulu. Wa
termelons are plentiful and the price
ranges from 2l2c to 4c per pound Very

seem to have the best reputation and

Amendment To Law That Will

Amendments to the Workman Com

increase the liabilities of employers
are forecast by discussions in the
industrial accident board and at The
Queens Hospital, where it is stated
that the sums for which employers are
held liable in cases of accident to EN-.

Objection is made to the provision
of the law which limits the amount to
be pnid by employers for surgical at
tendance and other services during the
first fourteen days of an employe 3 stay
in the hospital to fifty dollars. This
it is stated, is not enough.
The same objection is made to the
section Of the law which provides that
nfter the first fourteen days, the dis
ablcd employee shall be allowed sixty
per cent Of his wages. This, in most
casrs. it is stated, is not enough t.
pay hospital expenses.

X. Iso, chief engineer of the Meii

waii said yesterday that he is aston

plantations. He has returned to Ho

in Maui and Hawaii.

plantations, which have sugar mills per

when / saw the mills of Puunene. OF
course some mills of smaller planta
tions are imperfectly equipped, and
they are still about like those of For
mosa. wonder why there are only q
few Japanese who are working as high
class laborers. There are only few
Japanese who are employed as en-
'gine6rs or chemists.
Japanese have generally natural
efficiency in such work. Perhaps their
lack of knowledge of English is one
reason that they cannot have higher
positions.
About the trouble at Honokaa, where
it has been said that Japanese were
much aroused at not being paid bonus
for April and May, he said:
II could not find any sign of excite.
ment among the Japanese. They were
as calm as they were patient, await,
ing the decision of the plantation man
agement, believing in the sincerity of
the plantation authority.
81 think it is better for laborers to
negotiate directly with the planters if
they have any dissatisfaction than to
treat their grievances in Japanese
newspapers, which are inclined to ex.
aggeration.
