Successful cabbage growers near

operation with the Ohio experiment
station have obtained strains resistant
to yellows disease. or fusarium Wit
The All Seasons variety has shown
the least tendency to this disease. and
il also possesses qualities demanded
bv the kraut industry. Plants have
been selected for seed which have
shown the strongest growth and the
greatest freedom from disease.
This procedure In combating cabbage
yellows has proved far more success
ful than soil sterilization and other di
rect control methods, growers say. Tn
der conditions of continual attack by
disease certain plants develop charac.
tcristics that ward of ravages Of such
parasites. BY continual careful sclcc-
ton and propagation desired types are
produced that thrive even where dis
ease Is abundant, while common va

Shall We Have A
Fair This Year?
Plan Proposed OF Putting It Over Till
1918 Committee Calls General
Meeting - Thanks For Assistance

Whether Maui shall undertake to
have a county fair again this year, or
whether it shall be deferred until
1918; whether a permanent fair
grounds shall be secured in the sand
hills between Wailuku and Kah'llui,
or whether the old Kahului race track
and grounds shall be taken over, are
two important matters that may be
settled at a meeting of the general
fair committee which has been called
| for Thursday, January 18th.
The executive committee which has
been busy closing up the business of
! the fair, held a meeting on Tuesday of
this week, and decided to put the big
problems of the future up to the peo-
| pie of Maui.
1t has been proposed that no at
tempt be made to have fair this
| year, but that effort be concentrated
| on 1918, at which time Mali is also
| to entertain the civic convention. In
the meantime, those who favor this
idea argue, it will be possible to have
secured suitable grounds, erected the
necessary permanent buildings, and
be in position to make very highly
creditable showing. The executive
committee has gone over the points
in an informal way, but it will be up
to Maui people as whole to finally
decide.
To Make Financial Report
The executive committee expects to
make its report showing the financial
results of the first fair. AS previous
/ ly stated, it will probably be found
| that a net profit of about $4,000 Will
be on hand after all debts are paid.
The fair cost in money some $4,000.
Boy Scouts Remembered
The executive committee voted to
turn over to the MaIi Boy Scouts
council the sum of $50, in recognition
'of the valuable services of the boys
during the fair.
Votes of thanks were also given to
the Alexander House Settlement for
the use of it's buildings; to the Homo
lulu supervisors for the use of 'Dai-
sy;" and to the Maui Drygoods &
Grocery Company for use of store
rooms
Police To Smoke
County Sheriff Glenn Crowell is to
have box of cigars, and another
hundred and letter of thanks are to
go to the police force for their good
work. F. Palmatier and G. p. Ludir
were each voted SO and the thanks
of the committee for their freely
rendered assistance.
