BEAN ANDPOTAT0
CROPS ARE LARGE
Maui Small Farmers viii Have
Thousands Added To Their
Gross Income

Reports of the conservation crops on
the Island of Maui have been made
by F. G. Krauss, county agent of the
food commission for that island. Beans
and potatoes are doing well, and the
earnings of the small farmers will be
materially increased by reason of the
larger areas planted. Spraying of the
potato crops has had much to do with
their freedom from blight and conse
guent avoidance Of loss. ... .."s,E,
The harvest of the Kula and Maka
wac fall bean crop is well underway
and promises much better than the
summer crop, the report says. In re
cent survey made by the county agents
it is estimated that the 1000 acres now
in the above crop, will yield approx
mately a million pounds or 10000 hun
dred pound bags, At ap average value
Of cents per pound +. o. B. Kahulu
the crop would be worth $4,000 or $SC
per acre for the four months crop.
The potato crop, which is estimnt
ed at 300 to 400 acres, also promise,
well and should yield $4,000 to 10000
bags if our present efforts to contro
the blight are successful. r.,.
This should add at least $4,000 tc
the earnings Of the small farmers OF
he Kula Makawao districts, or tota
ross income of say $ll5,00000 for tn,
fall and winter crop. .t.#
Not alone Maui County but, the en-
tire Territory must profit from the
prosperity Of our small farmers this
wear, for whom il may be said in pass
ing, that it has been a good many
easons since good substantial pro
ct has resulted from their labors.

more HOGS NEEDED
FOR SOLDIERS FOOD
Farmers Should Breed More
SowS For Ham and Bacon

To win the war we need more meat.
To get an increased meat supply quick
,ly hog breeding must be increased ma,
terially throughout the country, and in
certain States an increase Of from 90
to so percent in the number of hogs
is recommended by the United States
Department of Agriculture. 49,.
The situation is of great Importance,
We must have plenty of meat for our
armies and the armies of the Allies in
the field, and sufficient meal for our
civilian population and the civilian DO
pulation of the Allies at home.
To have this meat breeding animals
must reproduce themselves so the of
spring will be available for slaughter
in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker than
any other kind Of live stock.
Therefore larger number of sOws
must be bred now, than in recent years.
The result of the increase will be to
provide sufficient animals to make the
meat that is absolutely essential to
the feeding Of our armies.

Pork can be transported more read.

field than can any other meat. Great
supplies of bacon must go to the BOYS
in khaki at the front. Unless now a
larger number of sows are bred. the
amount Of meat we will require next
year will not be available.
The estimated number of hogs is L.,
100000 less than II was a year ago in
this country; and in the face Of this we
need more hogs than ever before. How
can we get tRemf BY breeding sows
