LAND SITUATION
MUCH CLARIFIED
Sugar Companies Now Know
What To Expect and What
WIN Be Expected OF Them

Qualification OF the land problem and
the demonstrating controversies has
come with the Inauguration of a new
governor, the declaration Of his policies
on the subject, explanation of the de-
pattment of interior 3 position by Sec
Rotary Lane and proclamation on the
subject by the President of the Uni,
ted States.
Plantations and mills have been told
that homesteading is to 60 ahead un-
der the new administration and the
| clear law on the subject will no longer
be, ignored and set at naught The
plantation. companies are warned they
must prepare to adjust their business
| methods to meet such conditions. At
tie. same time production must be
Kept up.
~ The solution Of the problem during
war time Is particularly the bill that
1 was approved by Col. Mccarthy before
his Inauguration and which failed of
passage at the special session of the
Legislature. Under it the planter and
the homssteader win be protected and
\ they are made certain they have the
support Of both territorial and federal
administrations.
/ In the speeches at the time of Gov
ernor Mccarthy . inauguration it was
shown that surVeys can be made when
the cane is short and that the plan is to
have the sugar lands continued under
4 kultiyation he the farmer lessees until
&C tually hOmesteaded. Then the crops
! will be harvested and after homestead

speeches If the sugar mills want the

While the plantation companies want
1 the land and the cultivation of it to
the end that 1t will give the largest
production for their mills, and while

now know that homes eading has come

ditiOns that will come from the cutting

The situation is improved to the plan

sURtNAM GOES BACK

A steady decrease in the sugar pro,
duction of Surinam under the influe nee
of the war is indicated by statistics on
the subject contained in a recent report
of the International Institute of Agn-
culture. These show that sugar exports
from the colony declined from 2l,l68
ordinary tons in 1914 to 1898 tons in
1915.
At the present time only four plan
tati0ns are in cultivation in the colony,
although the soil is very favorable for
cane growing Local consumption is
about 1000 tons annually.

THOUSAND MEN ON
PLANTATIONS ARE
NEEDEDAT PRESENT
Call of Draft Will Increase and
Perhaps May Double Num-
Der To Be Replaced
FEW LAB0RERS SEEM TO
HAVE ASKED EXEMPTION
Physical Defects and Gambling
ProCIivitieS Do Not Hurt For
Work In Fields

One thousand men are needed on the
sugar plantations of the Territory. This
need has already been told to the labor
bureau Of the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers Association and it is probable that
n still larger number is needed, GER
tninly much larger number will be
required after the first Of the month.
Tho present need grows from the TAX
ing Of the national guardsmcn and their
induction into the service of the Uni
ted States.
Although the worker in the cane field
! is regarded as a man engaged in an es-
Sential industry and as such is entitled
to deferred classification, he has been
so classified only when he claimed ex-
emption and not placed in such class
as matter of course by the draft
boards. This fact explains the large
number of plantation laborers whose
names are appearing in lists of draftees
, published in The Advertiser.
! Few are Exempted
1t would appear that this matter
may hnN" been misunderstood hy the
! planters for among the agents here the
opinion has prevailed that the draft
would not "hit' the plantations pro-
UortionatcIy hard with the calling of
the guard Had the plantations desir-
Cd to hold their workers and taken the
necessary steps they might have done

be too late
Until the full draft has been called
and the registrants have undergone
their final physical exnpination, it will
be impossible to know Just how short
I of workers the cane fields are to be-
Now it can only hc said that the num-
Der taken in the draft will probably be
much larger than was expected.

Queer immediately, as 1ar as possible
for the early needs. To date 2l ,536
tons have been unluadcd at savannah,
Charleston, and Wilmington, and Of
this amount. more than 1900 tons
have actually been shipped to farmers.
On account of port conditions the rail
roads HAY not yet been able 10 move
approximately 1922 tons for which ship
ping instructions have been given. The
1000 tons remaining on hand will be

Two ships carrying approximately IT,
900 tons win be discharged this week
at Mobile and Norfolk, and five add,
tiOnal ships, with total tonnage Of
26 800, are on their way to Chile for
loading, and will discharge the greater
part Of their cargoes during May. A
sixth ship Of 1000 tons net weight has
been tentatively assigned for carrying
nitrate, making II total of approx

fortunately the Kentra, one of the

trate, was wrecked off the coast of
Chile just prior to loading.
Steps Taken To Expedite Shipment

made will enable the department sub
stantallv to meet the orders received
from farmers up to February 4, the
date upon which the receipt of apph

Sugar prices are up one-twentieth of
cent a pound, one dollar ton, and
until the explanation came II was
matter for suf1nise but shippers here
seem TO have quickly GUESSED it
right" They concluded the increase
was given because of the higher in,
suranre premiums resulting from the
presence of raider divers of the Attain
tic Coast and Associated Press des-
patches of Wednesday night confirmed
this view.
1t hardly appeared likely that if the

reason for the increase in price when

First Fiction Known.

The Oldest work of fiction extant
Is thought to be the Tale of Two Broth
ers," written $500 years ago by the
Theban scribe EnLana, librarian Of the
palace of King Menepthah, the sup
posed Pharaoh of the Exodus. The
tale, it appears, was written for the
entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti ii.
His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signature of an Egypt
ian king. This piece of antique fiction,
written on nineteen sheets of papyrus
in q bold hieratic hand, was purchased
in Italy by Nine. d'Orbiney, who sold
it In 1857 to the authorities Of the
British museum, where it is now
known as the D'Orbiney papyrus.
