Easy Grown Crops
Likely Tobe A Glut
Marketing Superintendent Sees
Trouble Ahead For Garden Enthusi
astsDifficulty In Selling Onions
Canned Goods Should Be Tabu
The prices of such vegetables as
string beans and peppers are getting
back to normal, with the exception of
cabbage and tomatoes, which are still
high. If the amount of seed sold of
common garden vegetables is any indi
cation of the amount of vegetables
that will be ready for market during
the next month or two, it. is a certainty
that a great many producers will be
greatly disappointed when it comes to
disposing of their surplus. With the
local commercial gardeners producing
a normal supply of vegetables and
practically all the army organizations
supplying their own messes, it is
hard to see how the surplus is going
to be taken care of in Honolulu. It
goes without saying that producers
on the other islands cannot raise vege
tables for the Honolulu market, with
the possible exception or onions, pota
toes and cabbage.
Until the Food Commission is able
to determine how much food of the
different kinds will be used on the
different Islands and an accurate re
cord of plantings and harvests is
kept, there Is sure to be an overpro
duction of the most easily grown
crops and underproduction of such
crops as dried beans and other staples
which may be stored if necessary.
There is only one way to encourage
the planting of crops in Hawaii and
that is to assure the farmer that his
product will be purchased in, prefer
ence to the imported product and at
a price that will pay him to stay in
the producing business. If the people
really want to make these islands to
dependent, of the mainland and foreign
food supply, they must insist that only
island prducts be used on their tables
as long as such products are in the
market and the price is reasonable.
This means that canned vegetables
should be tabu in every household in
the Territory as long as fresh vege
tables can be obtained.
As an example of what may be ex
pected in all perishable product in the
near future, unless the consumer gives
the preference to island-grown pro
ducts, attention Is called to the fact
that for some time past the Marketing
Division has been having great difflcul
ty in disposing of island-grown Ber
muda onions at a price that would be
profitable to the grower. At present
the Division has on hand nearly a ton
and a half of good onions for which
there is very little sale, due to the
fact that all the retail dealers prefer
to handle the imported onions. In the
past the dealers could not depend on
the local supply and have been forced
to place their orders ahead for Import
ed goods, but present conditions should
greatly change this and it is the duty
of every consumer to insist that his
dealer supply him with island products
as long as they are in the market.
If the consumer will not help the
producer in such cases it seems that
It might be one of the duties of the
Food Commission to prohibit the sale
of imported products until Island pro
ducts of the same kinds are disposed
of.
The farmers on the other islands
want information on what to plant
and until some definite plan is made
no one can tell them intelligently.
How much of each crop te needed and
is the farmer assured a market?
Within a few days the Division will
have large quantities of field and vege
tables seeds for sale but it does not
want to take responsibility of advis
ing producers to raise large crops of
onions, potatoes or cabbage and at
harvest time find that there is no mar
ket for them. The Division does feel
safe, however, in advising heavy
plantings of the standard varieties of
beans for drying and field corn in lo
calities where it grows well.

"YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG"
J. J. Walsh, manager of the Kahu
lul Store, has had printed at his own
expense and neatly framed, a stirring
little poem of the above title by Wil
bur D. Nesblt The attractive little
memento has been cordially received
by the friends to whom it has been
presented. It is a timely bit of pat
riotic expression.
FORESTERS MAKE BIG
GAIN IN MEMBERSHIP
With a gain of 107 new members in
' April, and 78 more to be initiated dur
ing this moth, the Court Valley Island,
No. 9239, Ancient Order of Foresters
j made a record that will probably
tanuor ,ome time in lodge circles.
The lodgtP0 has about 300 members
It waa organ,ed on January 1, 1911.
Courtesies Due The
Stars And Stripes
Now that we are at war, good Ameri
cans should be more than ever rever
ential toward the flags of our coun
try. There are certain courtesies due
the flag which should be carefully ob
served. It is not enough that you
stand up in the theatre and slam your
hands noisily together when some
chorus girl or slnp-stick comedian
walks down the stage waving the flag.
There are many other things you
must do to show a proper respect to
the National emblem.
The other day a battalion of cadets
from the Great Lakes Naval Training
station marched around the loop
carrying their colors. I saw the pa
rade pass at two different points. At
each place among all the hundreds
who watched the marching sailors
only one man took off his hat as the
colors went by. Modesty forbids my
mentioning the name of the man.
Most of the people around me thought
I was a lunatic, harmless, but quite
mad, because I took off my hat and
held It over my heart when the flag
went by. A good many probably
though I was flirting with some girl
across the street. But it is etiquette
to salute if you are in uniform or take
off your hat if in civilian attire when
the flag is officially presented.
Civilians have all kinds of trouble
when visiting a military camp, be
cause they invariably attempt to pass
the flag waving at regimental or
brigade headquarters without paying
it any more recognition than they
would an ice wagon or a garbage can.
But in such places they are compelled
to extend proper courtesy to the flag
of their country. There is always a
hawk-faced colonel roosting in the
black depths of his tent Just behind
the colors, and woe to the soldier on
guard if he lets a civilian go pass
without saluting.
When a civilian start to pass the
colors without removing his hat, the
sentry, knowing that the regimental
hawk is glaring balefully at him,
swoops down on the surprised civilian
and sternly says, "Take off your hat."
In ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred the civilian stares In bewild
erment at the soldier and says:
"What for?"
"In salute to the colors," replies
the soldier.
The civilian looks blankly around.
He sees the Stars and Stripes flutter
ing in the breeze and a hawk-faced
man staring malevolently at him from
a tent, but he doesn't see any color,
because he doesn't know what "the
colors" means. He is finally instruct
ed and then shamefaced takes off his
hat and holds it awkwardly in his
hand as he passes the flag.
With the prospect of armed camps
dotting the country from coast to
coast, it would be well for civilians to
learn the trick of taking off their hats
when they pass by the colors or when
the colors are carried past them.
Women, of course, cannot take off
the'r hats to the colors, but as they
pass the colors, or the colors are carri
ed by them, they can at least stop
chewing gum, giggling and talking and
keep their eyes fastened on "Old
Glory."
In displaying tne nag, u u Hangs
vertically the stars must be on the
outside. If you hang the flag in your
window, either vertically or horizon
tally from the outside that is, as
flag associations poetically phrase it,
the stars must come over tne nean..
Another thing to be mindful of is
that a flae hung outdoors must always
be taken in at Bundown or at least be
fore dark and not left hanging through
the night. It is a mark of disrespect
to the flag to have it waving at night.
Even if vou turn on a spotlight, u
makes no difference; the rule is that
the flag should be displayed outdoors
only between sunrise. It is not only
respect to the flag to observe this
rule; it is highly economical. i
Also there must be no writing or
device, which means trade-marks, or
legends, put across the face or tne nag
You have a right to tear down a flag
which has been so desecrated. Nor
must anyone fasten any placard or
any object of any kind to the flag, nor
must it ever be permitted to touch the
ground.
Tossing a United states nag on me
ground is as great a profanation as
spatting on it. If you don't want to
know what the secret agents of the
Department of Justice look like, don t
do it.
No flag must be displayed above the
Stars and Stripes or carried on the
street to the right of it. And no en
emy flag must be displayed even to
the left of the Stars and Stripes, or
above it, or below it, or within a
thousand miles of It. It is almost un
necessary to speak of this rule, which
Is always sharply enforced, usually
with a brick.

parts of the Islands, but so far as we
could ascertain no nurses had been
employed in plantation camps.
MIbs Silva's work in the camp has
been most valuable and exceedingly
interesting. Five hundred dispensary
cases a month is a fair average of the
work done in Hamakuapoko and with
the cooperation of the plantation au
thorities much "clean up" work has
been done. Just recently a dental
clinic has been conducted in that Dis
pensary for the children with an aver
age cost per child of thirty cents for
each operation.
Schoolyard Athletics have been a
natural development of the Extension
Idea. Going into a school and teach
ing the children to play may sound
paradoxical to many but the need is
most apparent and a most hearty re
sponse from the teachers has made
this work effective. Hamakuapoko
Grammar school, the High School,
Puunene school, Wailuku school and
Maunaolu Seminary have each regu
lar playground periods. The teach
ing of simple group games has given
the children an idea of something
beside baseball and marbles, and the
competition between grades of the
formation of clubs helps discipline.
. Playgrounds in the camps, with ap
paratus, volley ball and basket ball
courts have also been a natural deve
lopment of this work. We are glad
to report three sets of apparatus al
ready erected; in Wailuku, Hamakua
poko, and Camp One with three more
sets ordered; one for Puunene, one
for Walkapu and one for Walhee.
This apparatus and these grounds for
games are not for the small children
alone, the young men of the camps
enjoy them too and in some cases it
haa proven a decided factor in break
ing up rowdyism.
Boy Scouting and Children's Gar
dens, two phases of work in which
the Settlement is vitally Interested,
will be taken up in a later letter. We
want to take this opportunity of thank
ing those who have helped us in
spreading the play idea.

Gov. Pinkham's Job?

whenever he mentions Charles R.
Forbes, superintendent of public
works, whom he dominates a "snake
in the grass" and accuses of being
the cause of Pinkham's "ungrateful"
attitude toward himself. He declares
that Forbes is not loyal to the Gover
nor but is actually looking with a
covetous eye upon the gubernatorial
chair.
Forbes and Raymond had a person
al encounter in the Capitol building
several months ago, at which Ray
mond told the superintendent of public
works what he thought about him or
as much of it as he could recollect on
the spur of the moment. Since that
time diplomatic relations between the
two men have been sadly strained.
Raymond's entry into the race for
the governorship makes the fight
more interesting. Hitherto about the
only possibility mentioned for the posi
tion who was thought to stand much
of a chance was C. J. Hutchlns un
less Forbes' statement of the support
he can get In Washington may be
taken at its full face value. The
chances thnt Plnkham will be reap
pointed are considered so small as to
be practically negligible.
What strength Doctor Raymond can
muster In the national Capitol where
Governors of territories are made re
mains to be seen. It Is unquestion
able that he can secure strong back
ing in Hawaii.
Raymond himself, says, however
that it is not first a question of what
man shall become Governor. What
ought to be done, he says, and what
he hopes and believes may be done, is
for the Democrats of Hawaii to quit
fighting among themselves, get togeth
er and agree upon some one man and
then get behind that man and give
him all their backing. Only in that
way, he believes, will much attention
be paid in Washington to their recom
mendations. Kahului Community

Demand Of Farmers
For Loans Is Great
Bonds For Federal Farm Loan Act
Soon To Be Issued Good Invest
mentHelping Farmers Now Is
Helping The Nation Win The War
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 26 A
portlju of the $125,500,000 deposited
in the Postal Savings Banks of the
United Stales has boon made avail
able to help tho farmers meet the war
food crisis.
The Trustees of the Postal Savings
Bank System have adopted a resolu
tion making Farm Loan Bonds, issued
under the Federal Loan Act, accept
able at par to secure Postal Savings
deposits. United States Government,
Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, and
District of Columbia bonds are the
only other bonds which enjoy this
privilege.
The Federal Farm Loan Board is in
receipt of many reports from all parts
of the nation indicating that the farm
er is making desperate efforts to re
spond to the nation's appeal to in
crease food production, but that he is
greatly handicapped by the shortage
of labor and the high price of seed.
He needs more capital with which to
purchase seed and he needs additional
capital to- provide himself with labor
saving machinery to overcome the
labor shortage. A telegram received
by the Farm Loan Bureau says that in
a single county in Montana 300,000
acres of spring wheat will be seedea
it the capital for the purchase of the
necessary seed can be supplied.
Tho ; Federal Farm Loan Act was
adopted "to provide capital for agri
cultural development." Applications
for loans have already been received
which indicate that tho farmers will
require more than $100,000,000 of
capital through this agency this year.
Only 5 percent will be charged for this
money where, previously, rates of
from 5 to 15 percent have been
charged.
Within a short time the first issue
of the Farm Loan Bonds will be float
ed to provide this capital which will
be loaned to the farmers. These
bonds will be sold to investors and will
bear 4V6 percent Interest. These
bonds are "instrumentalities of the
Government" and as such will be
exempt from all form of taxation; they
will be engraved by the United States
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
and protected by the United States
Secret Service, and will be Issued in
denominations of $25 and upward so
as to appeal alike to small and large
investors. A ready market for these
bonds means more capital immediately
available to enable the farmer to meet
the present emergency.
The importance of rendering the
farmer assistance by providing addi
tional capital is emphasized in the fol
lowing appeal of President Wilson re
cently addressed to the National
Agricultural Society in convention:
"At the present moment it is our 4
plain duty to take adequate steDs that
not only our own people be fed, but
that we may, if possible, answer the
call for food of other nations now at
war.
"In this greatest of human needa T
feel that the American farmer will do
his part to the uttermost.
By planting and increasing hl nro-
duction in every way possible, every
farmer will perform a labor of patriot
ism for which he will be recognized as
a soldier of the commissary, adding
his share to the food supply of tho
people."
