Annual Meeting Of Forest
Service Investigative
Committee Held.

The annual meeting Of the forest
service investigative committee was
held yesterday afternoon in the Of
flee of forest investigations recently
! established in the First National Bank
building. Tho purpose OF this meeting.
which is held once every year, is to
go over all Of the various research
problems. both past and present and
to draw up plans Of work for the COM
ing year.
It Is recognized that research is
fundamentally important to any bust
ness and particular important TO
any business connect. with forestry
In the United States, since the life
histories of the trees are very In
adequately known. Various problems
discussed by the research men in
cluded studies In range management,
such as improved methods for hand
ling sheep so as to secure the largest
carrying capacity: experiments to de-
termine at what depth tree seed
should be covered in the nursery in
order to secure the maximum GERM
nation and the students to determine
the maximum seed productive cara-
city of various forest trees.
It was brought out as an example
OF the results OF research work that
the studies in the methods OF cutting
white pine in Idaho has shown that
white pine seed lies dormant on the
forest floor for several years and that
after mature crop of timber is re-
! moved, this seed sprouts and is adc-
quate to produce new stand of tim
Der. This has made It possible to re-
duce the number of seed trees for
merly left on sale areas to very small
number.

WAILUKU, liaui, June 6.-The KuEa
bean crop will not be more than halt
as large as was expected on account
Of unfavorable weather. This is the
report Of George Copp, who was in
WaiIuku this week on business. Scar
city of seed prevents a replantipg a.

able that fall crop much larger than
usual will be put IN.
From the fact that the acreage in
beans Is greater than usual, and be.
cause OF the high price which the Kula
bean Is likely to command this year,
it is probable that the poor crop will
bring In more than the usual amount
of money to the district.
The white potato crop is also almost

Copp says, but corn is looking fine.
However, the paintings Of this last

This week the market generally has
been dull. and during most OF the time
with an easier tendency.
On Saturday some operators in Cp-
tiOns on the Exchange, apparently
taking advantage OF the half-holiday

ket in options, and in a few minutes
bid quotations OF a few months up
over y points. This ill-adyised move
could not be sustained more than
short time, and prices rapidly declined
until Is points OF the = advance was

declined steadily until today, when a
small advance occurred.
Sellers and buyers in actual sugars
kept calm during this period OF eT,

sales OF nearby Cubas reduced the
