Many farmers in the dairy business
are making the mistake of purchasing
grade bulls just because they are
cheaper than the pure BREEDS This
is a practice that is hurtful to all
parties concerned. One cannot ex-
pect to build up a herd by grade
sire. The breeding is uncertain
Heifer calves dropped now are to be
your dairy herd two and three years
from now. You will be unable to
determine what kind of bull you
are using until the heifers are in milk
Your chances are many times greater
ior improvement where n sire is Sc
lected from stran OF pure breds.
where the records OF ancestry have
been kept so that 1t is possible TO
see that each generation Is an i'm
provement over the last The use OF
grade bull is the first step in the
degeneration OF your dairy herd. A
pure bred bull at $500 is cheaper than
a grade at S25 to $50. Farmers who
have the welfare OF the dairy indus
try at heart. should castrate all grade
bulls. no matter how well marked
they may be. This lesson is taught
us from practical conditions. where
success of the business is made.
So-called dealers In dairy stock.
are often tempted by conditions such
as exist in this locality. where there Is
demand for milk COWS. TO purchase
cows and heifers. such as dairymen
in other places are culling out OF
their herds. and ship them to such 10.
calities and sell them as good dairy
stuff. There have been a number OF
such importations made into the
valley during the last year Under
sized, short two year old heifers. heavy
with calf. are also skipped in. We.
OF course. are glad TO have good stock
brought in but we should not welcome
anyone here who brings us poorer
stock than we already have in the
valley. Demand growthy individuals
of good conformation. when paying
high prices for dairy cows. A hiefer
should have a good growth before
she drops her first calf II is being
repeatedly found that the cows that
are large with good capacity are the
most economical producers OF milk
products.

NEW LAND To
Be DEVOTED TO
CANE CULTURE
Especial s..r,Buuetin Correspondence,

Especial Star-BnGetin Correspond eEee,
HIilO, Oct. l3.-That q new area
for cane raising. and one which Is
said to be composed OF the very best
soil, and which is situated in Waipio
Valley, is about to be opened up, Is
the report Of q Hilo business man
who returned from that district yes
terday. There is a strip OF land
about mile in width by five miles IN
length in the tract. II is we'll
watered, and at present much OF it is
planted to rice and taro,
The land is al present said to be
under lease to the Honokaa Sugar
Plantation and the talk OF planting
it to cane is causing feeling among
those residing there that they are
likely to be dispossessed through
such proceedings. There are a num-
Der Of owners Of kuleanas among the
present residents. but these cannot
be affected by the contemplated
change. The speaker stated that the
soil is OF such a nature as TO not re-
quire replanting, as is the case on
most of the plantations, rattoons be-
ing supported for any number OF
years, as the result OF the rich, deep
loan which has been formed through
the land having been washed from
the mountain top.
The place referred to is one Of the
greatest taro producing districts on
the island and in case the growers
OF this popular native food are forced,
from the land it will have much to
do with the supply of taro for CONNER
cial purposes. Those who own their
land will be the only ones who can
grow the staple food and as a con-
sequence the supply grown will
necessarily be less than the de-
mand. The Honokaa plantation in
case the land is planted to cane will
probably haul the product to its
mill, which is a distance Of about
twelve miles from the valley.
However. there is some talk that O
separate mill may be erected in the
valley, as the hundreds of acres Of
excellent cane land are of such a
productive nature as to insure an ex'
traordinary crop.-Post.

There Is a lot more jewelry manu-

Long before this act became a law
the price Of some products sold by
druggists had increased all the way
from 20 to 200 per cent. Just to
give concrete example of a rather
abstract idea, since the beginning OF
the war the cost of Vaseline has in.
creased from 81 to $45 a pound. You
can figure that out for yourself, and
see whether or not little thing like a

At a meeting yesterday of the df

was decided to suspend all dividends

The reason given for this action was
that the 1918 crop will be short, due

URGES FARMERS TO
REDUCE COT TON CROP
WITH NO SURPLUS THE STAPLE
SHOULD COMMAND HIGH
PRICES.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 15.-W. B.
Thompson. a cotton merchant of this
city, IN urging growers to curtail the
next cotton crop, has issued the fol-
lowing statement.
War or no war, cotton as cotton.
is worth much more than the cur
rently quoted values; war or no
war. cotton, as the shuttleeock of
international politics and trade hys-
terra, is. worth only what the fears
of men make 1t @worth. The recent
radical shrinkage in values is due
not to state of facts. but to a condi-
ton OF mind. Cotton has sslumped
$25 per bale within two days. not
because the supply is greater or the
c6nsumptiye requirements any less
than before, but because an unreas-
oging fear has invaded the market
places. The frenzied offers to sell
lower and lower and still lower are
but the hystericai cries of a nerve
raeked man in the dark. The time
has arrived when men must strike
a light and take firm grip on them
selves. II this stampede is not ar
rested it may dislodge the spot
holder from his hitherto impregnable
position. This must be prevented at
all costs. because any weakening in
this regard would mean disaster to
the cotton industry and would deal
blow at the prosperity of the south.
Appeal to Reason.
This is not statistical argument
to prove the siren 9Th of cotton on its
own merit; it is an appeal to the
reason and the manhood of the cot
ton people. The purpose of this
statement is not to show why the
price of cotton should advance, but
how the price may be made TO adj
vance. These are the facts that
should be impressed upon all con-
cerned: Whether we have war or not,
there is hardly enough cotton in eX~
istence TO supply the demands of the
current trade year. There is, there
fore, no reason why the remnant of
last years cop, eonsideed by itself,
should be deprecated. On the con-
trary, there is every reason why a
crop which cerries no surplus should
command higher prices. The signifi-
