BONUS RATES
TO BE ABOUT
70 PER CENT

Plantation labor in the territory OF
Hawaii will receive more than a mil
lion dollars this year in excess of what
was paid them in bonuses last year.
They will be paid more than $4,000, 006
as against approximately 100000 ir
1916. In 1916 the payments were at
the rate of 50 per cent, while this year
according to present averages the per
centage will be Sc to 20 per cent.
This is more apt to be raised rather
than lowered before the season ends.
Bonuses are determined by the pre-
vailing price of sugar and with the
present price of raw sugar above the
average for the season some further
increase in the bonus rate may be ex.
pected.
With a maximum price for raw su,
gar fixed by the food administrator
the plantation laborer will be one OF
the first to feel it, but If 51s cent
price be made the bonuses would be
about the same as in 1916, or on a

Maui Delegate Discusses Cues.

Defends Merchant

By agreement of the Civic Conyen.
ton delegates. owing to the lateness
Of the hour yesterday afternoon, the
papers of Harold Rice on hay rails,
ing and curing, and by John j.
Walsh, on the marketing and sale at
reasonable price OF the products Of
the territory, were not read, and
were laid aside to be incorporated in
the printed report of the convention.
Mr.. Walsh's paper was replete with
concrete statements based upon his
study of conditions in the islands. A
summary of his intended remarks is
given below:
The areas devoted to farming in
Hawaii are invariably small and long
distances from the market" said Mr.
Walsh, so that good transportation
facilities are essential; this means
good roads from the farming dis
tricts to point of shipment by rail or
water.
Considers Small Farmer
Many small farmers are without
facilities for getting their crops to
market, and therefore are obliged to
sell the produce on their place to
others who furnish containers and
transportation. There is an unneces.
sary expense here which could be eli
minated if the farmers would form an
association of growers, one object OF
this association being to take care OF
the hauling for such of its members as
are unable to do it themselves"
To Prevent Scramble
"The farmers association already
mentioned should arrange for the
combining of small lots from various
farms and ship to reputable mer-
chants who will generally pay cash on
receipt or shortly after. This would
prevent the scramble to beat the other
fellow to market which generally re-
suits in a glut and loss"
Among the economic hints dropped
by Mr.. Walsh were the following:
Growers should store their crops eth.
er on the farm or at the nearest ship
ping point, and as far as possible ship
only on consignment. They should
grade their produce for quality and
size, rather than have the wholesaler
do 1t or fall back on the alternative
of getting graded produce from the
mainland. The farmer can use the
rejected grades On his farm, besides
saving the freight rates and avoiding
the chance of spelling his higher

A victory for Germany-that is, a
conclusive victory and a German
peace"-would mean that Germany
had defeated the world, including
what the world believes to be the bet
ter part Of Germany itself. Prussia
would be cock O. the walk, and the
world would be the walk. The United
States would be merely part of the
walk, and Prussia would walk upon 1t.
The United States would be first
defeated nation and then a conquered
nation. 1t would take orders from
Potsdam - promptly. Eventually it
would parade at the goose-step. At
its head, on horseback, would be not
an American president but a Ger
man Kaiser.
The ages of steam and electricity
have made the world a smaller place.
It has grown so small, in fact, that
now it must begin to live under one
government. What that government is

grades of goods. Retailers often must
charge a seemingly high price be,
cause OF defective shipments in order
to break even on a certain number OF
pounds or tons.
Containers of good quality should be
used. This is especially true of corn
and beans, said the speaker. Beans
should be sacked to avoid loss, and
the sacks should be of good quality.
Onions should be sent in crates II
possible. Corn should be fumigated
to rid it of weeyils before being sent
on to market. Beans should also be
fumigated before being shipped.
Good Crops Here
Under favorable conditions" he
went on. ''crops of excellent quality
can be grown in Hawaii and will bring
good prices unless there is an over
production on the coast. Grade for
grade the farmer should receive at
least the same price as similar goods
can be imported for and there is every
reason to believe that wholesalers anC
retailers would prefer to handle isl
and grown products if few necessary
requirements we're complied with.
They want to be sure OF getting the
goods and in the right quantities,
when needed, and to be assured of the
quality"
Discusses Territorial Market
The territorial marketing division
as at present operated is not. in my
opinion, of much value to either grow
er or consumer" continued the speak
err IF the government wishes to con
tinue this division perhaps it is all
right, but it seems to me they should
stick to the retail and not try to do
a wholesale business in retail way.
There may be some few growers
who are so located and their produce
of such a character that it can be
handled in limited quantities by the
retail marketing division better than
by any other method. The outlet OF
this division. however, is small and
does not compare with that of any OF
the wholesalers of Honolulu. l be-
lieve 1t would be a good thing II a
change was made in the methods OF
this department Of the government.
Let the retail end be continued, but
drop the wholesale department and
put one or more good men in there
to watch the market and keep the
wholesale dealers advised of where
they can obtain produce and keep the
various farmers associations advised
of prospective purchasers. There Is
no good reason why this kind OF work
could not be done by the marketing
division free of charge"
