1t is estimated that the average
yield in this district will be 16 cwt. Of

FIJIAN'S DAY over
Picturesque South Sea Islander
Is Disappearing.



The FIJI Islander. whose cnnnibal-
istic practices long made him a favor
ite with writer's Of fiction and humor,
Is following the Malayan pirates and
the rowing pearl thief Of the South
seas into the realm OF memory. A
turbaned half-caste Hlndoo is replac-
ing the once bloodthirsty and always
picturesque native of the Fills.
It Is the white mans civilization,
along with the white mans vices, and
the Fijian's utter disinclinatiOn to
work that are blotting out the race.
The Fijlan Of today is no longer war
like, no longer a hunter and a fisher
man. Instead he is lazy smoker OF
the white mans tobacco, a lover Of the
white mans enlivening drinks and a
patron Of the white mans moving pic
ture shows.
Time was when the war canoes OF
the Fills piled the 5outhern seas
when the Fijlan warrior was a dread
ed person who displayed no fear in
battle and who enjoyed eating his slain
enemies once the conflict ended.
The Fijians, according to the early
travellers who came in contact WIN
them. were superlatively bad Inc
very name Fiji became a synonym Tor
whatever was barbarous. inhuman and
cannihallstic. It seems that the eat
ing Of human flesh was both a mat
ter Of religious rite and Of enjoyment
with the Fijfan. Great feasts Of this
sort were prepared. especially after n
successful battle.
The bad reputation Of the Fijlans
kept traders and missionaries away
from the islands till long after other
peoples Of that section Of the seas
were Christlanized. Finally the white
man got a foothold in the Islands.
Trade of various sorts sprang up, for
the islands are wonderfully rich In
commercial possibilities. The Ftjian
Is a child who cannot grow up. He
has no sense of commercial values and
no liking for toll. The white man
found him a wretched worker and al
most unusable on the plantations that
were laid out In the islands.
That Is the reason why the Hindoo
coolle has been imported into FIJI and
why the Fijian is disappearing. The
native cannot stand the double strain
of softened ways of living and of com
petlng with the work-hardened native
of India.
One notes as a significant phase OF
the Europeans attitude toward the
changing conditions in Fiji, the recon-
mendntions adopted at recent meet
ing of the district synod, Methodist
mission of FIJI. These recommended
tons approved the further colonial
ton Of the islands by Hindoos and
suggested a number of regulations
which would better the situation Of
these imported orientals. The i'm
pcrtation Of women frosl India was
recommended, as It was stated that
women were disproportionately few In
the Fiji islands.
There has been some intermarriage
between the Fills and the Hlndoos.
That. too, has helped bring about the
passing of the Fijian. Samoans also
have gone to Fiji In considerable num-
bers and have thriyed there.

TOBACCO GROWING
Successful Farms in New South
Wales.

There are many dry areas" so far
as the soil Is concerned In New South
Wales, but 1t IS gratifying to know
that instead of this unpopular eondi-

Tobacco-growing has been tenta-
