BEET B II SUGAR OUTPUT
IS BBEl0W.EsTINATES

CHICAGO, December IL - Reports
from the various beet sugar factories
continue to show an output of sugar
far below early estimates based on
the acreage Of beets. Unfavorahle
weather conditions during the latter
part OF the season, delay in lifting
beets due to scarcely of labor and the
prevalence of heavy storms and zero
temperatures during the present mouth
have combined to bring about a dis
apPointipg yield in the principal sugar
producing sections, q
An unusually large number of far,
tories have closed their slicing cam,
paigns after runs much shorter than
- Customary, and nearly all of these
'hOvta falling off Of 10 TO 25 percent
in pFoduetion as compared with Octo-
berf estimates.
When the estimate prepared" for
Facts About Sugar was placed at $780,,
300 ordinary tons last October it was
generally considered that this figure
vas uuduy low, but later develop
! ments have male ii evident that
: still fhrt her reduction is necessary.
While detailed reports from certain
sections are still lacking it is safe to
| say that the season s output, based on
the present outlook, win be somewhere
between 100000 and 100000 tons. A
figure of $4,000 tons as round eS
innate probably would not be far
wrong. The weather, during the nrAt
three weeks may cause some variation
hut the chances that any change in til,
situation viii lie unfayorable are al
least equal to the possibilities of IN

more GOATS SHOULD

Imported Feeds At High Prices
Are Not Required For Them
and Milk Is Good

The United States Experiment Sta
ION is planning to undertake a pro
ect looking to the increase of the
number of mich goats kept for in
dividual family use in the Islands. II
appears that the present feed crisis
AN be effectively overcome only if
every available means of feed conser-
vation is put into active practise.
Observations made regarding the
goats now kept on the slopes Of Punch
bowl aud in various valleys adjacent
o Honolulu, rs well as in other parts
+ the Islands, all point to the fact
hat the goat is a most efficient ma
hine for converting otherwise useless
weeds and bushes into palatablc milk
and milk products.
A dairy COW requires certain
amount Of grain or mill feed to enable
her to give satisfactory milk flow.
These feeds have to be brought 10
from the Coast and call for great
deal of shipping space which is badly
needed for other purposes. Goats are
able to thrive and give a satisfactory
yield Of milk when subsisting entire
" on the otherwise waste vegetation.
The koh haole and the klu are espo-
cially liked by the goats that have
been under observation. 1t is not un
likely that many of the lawns in Ho-
nolulu would support two or three
milch goats and thus reduce by that
much the dependency on milk produced
on feeds brought in from the Coast.
The United States Experiment sta
ton will be glad to receive informR
ton pro or con in connection with this
project before il is definitely launched.
If the public interest Ia it proves sufIi.
cient the project will be taken up with
Washington for approval from that
source, as the, work will presumably
call for the importation Of Improved
milking strains Of goats into the
Islands to assist in building up the
breeds already here.
Some Of the goats produced in Cali
fornia give as high as four quarts n
lay for months 10 succession. The or
.Inary goat in the Islands seldom av-
rrage more than quart or quart
and half day, although certain in
liwiduals will give as much As three
quarts daily.
Once the goat is pure based or raised
there is no expense attached to its
maintenance, as they subsist on vego-
tation that would otherwise 20 to

A resolution inquiring of Sheriff
Rose the feasibility and advisability
Of employing a moral squad OF high
class and efficient men TO stamp out
the degrading social evil raging in Hon
olulu, as revealed Friday afternoon in
the report of the territorial grand
jury, win be introduced at Tuesday
night 3 meeting Of the board Of super
visors by Ben Hollinger.
In making known histfptentions in
this connection yesterday afternoon,
Supervisor HolIinger said the employ
ment OF such q body Of men was the
only possible way or coping with the
vicious conditions. nThe grand jury
report asserts that the police depart
mcnt is making little effort TO suppress
vice IN Hoholulu.' he added. uand /
think it's up to the board to take some
Sherif's Sanction Needed $50
Because the powers of the sheriff
are 30 vast, IL Is not possible for the
board Of supervisors 20 appropriate
money for the employment ofTn moral
squad without first obtaining his sane
ti6n. Should the necessary permission
he forthcoming, and the board OF SUI
nervisors decide TO set aside certain
sum for employment OF such body Of
men, there is1ikely TO be much specnla-
ton and possibly argument regarding
The selection Of competent chief.
The grand jury, in its report, en-
phasiZes the necessity of placing the
suggested moral squad under proper
leadership, and as this body, in the
tame report, critieizes Sheriff Rose for
his objectionable inactivity in putting
the laws into effect, il is hardly like
~ that the duty Of making these APP
pointments could be entrusted to him.

Of the grand jury's report mentioned,
