1t was also learned this morning
that Brewer & Co., agents for the
Dutch steamship line. had been in
formed OF this rule and had cabled TO
Washington for the required permits
sion on last Monday, one day before
either steamers arrived here.
That the rule has been issued dur
ing the past week is fairly we'll es.
tablished. although the date of its is
suance is secret The rule was in eff
feet when the Ophir, directo from
Honolulu from the Panama canal,
came in Sunday, but it did not af
feet the sailing Of this vessel to Ba
tayIa
The Ophir first asked for 100 tons
OF coal, but her commander after
wards decided he did not need this
amount and departed without taking
any aboard. Whether this was due
to receiving notification Of the new
treasury order is unknown.
Goentoer Sails Today
At ! o'clock today it was unknown
when either the Goentoer or Juliana
would sail. But it was definitely an
nounced that the Juliana would not
depart for Yokohama and way ports
until she had filled her coal bunkers.
However, the Goentoer may sail for
San Francisco late this Afternoon, at
least her passengers have so been in
formed. Officers OF this liner say
she will attempt to make San Fran.
cisco with what coal she has aboard,
and have posted a notice on the YES
sci stating she will sail at o'clock
today. The officers estimate that by
running slowly, about 10 knots an
hour, she may be able to reach San
Francisco. The Goentoer needs only
$50 tons Of coal, while $50 tons is
the amount requisitioned for the
Princess Juliana.
A generally accepted theory for the
refused to issue coal to the Dutch
steamers without Washington permits
sion is that it is a step in keeping
with recent action taken by the ma
tional export board to check the ship
ping of supplies TO neutral countries,
which may eventually reach Germany.

BOARD INVITES
DISCUSSION ON
FARM QUESTION
Substituting of Farmers to Try
Out Land Suggestion OF Ex-
pertinent Station Head

What does the public think OF the
suggestion that all available land IN
the territory be opened up for farm
ing purposes?
The territorial food commission
wants TO know and invites sugges
tions. either n communications oil
reetlv to the commission, or in letters
TO the newspapers.
That the commission should open
up these lands wherever possible and
start a system OF farming in when the
farmer would be assisted by the com
mission. is the, suggestion recent!
made by W. VIC Moir, agent in East
Hawaii. J. F. Child. assistant execu-
tive officer OF the commission, recent
" conferred with J. NJ. Westgate'
agronomist in charge OF the federal
experiment station, on Mr.. Moir's sug-
gestions. Mr. Westgate's findings are
set forth in the following letter to MT.
Child:
REGARDING the possibilities OF open
ing w. the KeanakOlu tract OF land
for farming operations. | will sta e
that | am personally unfamiliar with
the agricultural character OF the sec.
ton in question and before advising
definitely in regard to the question,
would feel it necessary to become &C
quainted with the character Of the
soil, the rainfall, the acreage, the po-
tentially good agricultural land and
any isolated instances of agricultural
operations in said tract. giving US a
line on the possibilities Of the soil
for raising agricultural products.
K,,la NnI,lH no
established by the proper cooperation
OF the different agricultural institu-
tions, including the land office. it would
be a most desirable undertaking and
one in which the federal station would
enter into with hearty cooperation.
The funds appropriated for the
Glenwood station are by act Of the
territorial legislature, available only
for the experiment station at Glen
wood. Your suggestion Of the estab-
hshment Of cooperative relations with
q thoroughly reliable farmer, backing
him up in his farming operations
seems to me feasible, IL this tract
proves as potentially valuable as it
seems TO be. 1t might be possible for
the station to subsidize homesteaders
TO the extent Of $25 a month to make
demonstrations in the section in ques
ton. This would call for the land de-
partment issuing subsidized home
steader a typical allotment of land
and allowing him to go in before the
rest OF the land was opened up so he
would have time to work out the most
profitable practises under the peculiar
local conditions present in the immedi-
ate section.
Il think your suggestion to invite
public discussion Of he project a
very good one, and think that prob
ably this should be done in advance of
our taking any active steps in the
matter. The discussion will crystaiize
the actual facts in the case and our
own course will be that much clearer"

Il am very anxious 10 see the wo-

waste here says Mrs. Russell. And
have found out that, in spite Of
this waste, many Honolulu women are
depending largely on canned fruits
that they can purchase in the stores
Mrs. Russell will also tell the wo-
men of the best kind of bottles and
jars to be used, and will impress on
the women the necessity of saving al
old bottles.
