Tho successful culture of the Smyrnu Jig In California means much for theso Islands, It means that a new Industry will spring Into life, that thousands of acres of our lands unavailable for oth er purposes can be opened for tho cul tivation of the Capri Fig the fruiting dato palm, Lychco and a number of other commercial fruits. It means a permanent Increase In Hawaii's In come. Wo have only to show that profitable and agreeable employments nro possible hero to All Hawaii rapidly with home-seekers. Horticulture Is doubtless our great est attraction In ngtlculture and offers tho most delightful of all rural uecu. patlons. Us charm lies partly In tho nesthctlcal atmosphere by which It Is surrounded and which appeals strongly to the rudest of nature. The evolution of a fruit crop Is one succession of agreeable and Inspiring surprises. Climatic conditions, nowhere clso to be found on tho mainland, ex ist here. This condition makes Ha waii exceptionally a favorite place In which to practice diversified agricul ture. What Is a Fig? There Is an old saying: "Enjoy llfo under our own vine nnd Sg tree," which Is Indicative of the many attrac tions of California horticulture life. What Is a flg? Do you evor sec Its flowers? To the layman It merely rep resents a moss of pulp enclosed In a thin skin. To tho botanist, the outer covering Is a receptacle for the thou sands of inconspicuous flowers, nnd tho wholo is called an Inflorescence. What Is a Smyrna Flg and In what respectB does It differ from other figs? Tho general character of tho tree and fruit Is apparently the Bamc as In oth er figs, and the only guide a grower has, that his trees may possibly be long to the Smyrna class Is that their fruits never maturu. A proper understanding of the sub ject can only be arrived at by dividing tho e'dlblc fig (Flcus Carlca) into tbrcs classes. (1) The Wild or Capri, (2) Tho Smyrna, (3) The Adriatic. these being distinguished from one an other by their flowers, viz: Male, Ko male. Gall and Mule Flowers. The Wild or Capri Class. It Is from this clnss undoubtedly that all species of cdlblo flgs sprung, and tho Improved, fruit Is tho result of years of cultivation and hybridization. The only value this class of figs pos sesses. Is to furnish a home for the minute wasp, "Illastophaga Orossor urn" for It Is only in it that the Insect can breed and exist. It produces throe crops annually, the first being known as Proflchl, Smyrna Class. cd under the supervision of Mr. K. A. This embraces all varieties of flgs Schwarz of the Division ot Kntomol- which do not mature with out tlio ogy. Department of Agriculture, Wash agency of the Insect or by artificial Ington, D. O. pollination. Two distinct crops aru In order thnt the work should bo ex produced annually, both ot which con- pcilltcd, the men employed were dlvld- tain fcmnlo flowers, the first appearing cd Into three crews; one crew picked In tho current year's wood in March and maturing In June, called "lire las;" tho second, or the now wood just as the former is ripening. Only a few oi the Drebas mature, the bulk of them drop to tho ground when quite small, and thoso which do mature, though large, contain nothing hut hollow seeds and lack flavor and substance. Their chnracter can never be changed, for when their flowers are receptive, there are no pollen producing Capri Figs. The Bccond crop commences to ma ture In Fresno County during the mid dlo of August and continues to ripen up to the middle of October, although the crop is practically harvested In September. Adriatic Class. This embraces all sorts which ma turo their fruits without tho agency of the Insect, nnd they can never ho Im proved, for they contain malformed female or mulo flowers, which can not bo fertilized. There nro a hundred or 'more sorts of this rlass growing In California, In cluded nmong them arc the Old Mis sion or California Illack, White Adri atic, Brown Turkey, etc. The Whlto Adriatic has been more extensively planted for drying pur poses than any other, but It is admit ted by all having a knowledge of flgs, that it has nothing to recommend It. no matter how manipulated or pro cessed, enn it ever bo made to compare with tho imported flg of commerce. So well Is this fact known, that our figs arc rushed to the Kastcrn market as rapidly as possible, so as to take advantage of a bear market, the trade recognizing the fact that California) Figs aro very slow sale when tho Im ported article makes Its advent. Caprlfleatlon. The Capri Flg stands in tho relation of male to the Smyrna Flg. although from tho preceding remarks It will bo understood that it Is only In one.crop that male flowers aro produced In a quantity to bo of any value. Now follow the insect in Its various stages. It over-winters In the second Mammonl crop and emerges In April. The mnlo Insect which Is wingless, Is sues from the gall first It never leaves the flg. Crawling around It lo cates the gall containing the females, makes an opening with Its powerful mandibles and Impregnates them and then dies. The female enlarges tho opening ma.le by the male, crawls through tbo orifice of the flg which is then Open pushing out from the current season's and flies to a Proflchl Flg. the gall wood In March and maturing In June; ( flowers of which are then ready to re tho second crop known as Mammonl, j cctvo the egg. budding out ns the first crop ripens Note tho fact that this is In April and maturing In August,' and finally and that this Is the very same flg.

The Cap ri Flgs contain three kinds of flowers, male, femalo and gall flowers, tho num her varying In greater or less dogred In tho several crops, but whoso staminatc or main organs do not mature beforo June. Tho Insect forces its way Into tho flg, using a saw-llko protuberance tin dor the thorax for that purpose nnd losing its wings in tho operation. Once Inside It crawls around nnd deposits ono egg in each of the ovaries of tho gall flowers. Work at the Orchard. The Insects In these galls mature In June, the females in this instance. In passing out of tho flg go through tho there is only ono crop which! zone of male flowers surrounding the produces an abundance of male or. orifice, which aro then mature, and stamlnate flowers, and that is tho Pro-(get their bodies and wings dUBted with flchl, so, consequently this Is tho enly' pollen. ono of any value to the Smyrna class. During tho past season the caprlflea. Tho succeeding crops servo only as a tlon of tho Smyrna Flg orchard at the babltat for tho flg wasps. Fanchor Creek Nurseries was conduct- the flgs nnd whoro they were beyond reach, they were pulled ofl with a light bamboo pole, lining an Iron loop at onj end; another Bcwcd tho flgs on strings of rafa, from two to four figs on each string, while tho other crew was kept busily engaged in hanging the flgs In the Smyrna Fig trees, from twelve or twenty flgs being suspended In each tree. Only about one-fifth of the 4200 Smyrna Trees were capriflcd, a large number of flgs were not pulled, so that the first Mammonl crop should bo fully supplied with insects. Flight of Insects. The Insects do not nil Ibsiic in ono dny, but the flight lasts over a period of from five to eight days, from fifteen to fitly Insects Issuing from each flg dally, occurring chiefly during tho morning hours. Tho female having se lected a Smyrna Flg suited to it, goes to tho orifice and forces Its way in. losing Its wings In the samp manner ns when It enters (lie Capri Flg. Once Inside It endeavors to lay its eggs, but the styles of tho femalo flowers nro so long, it Is unable to do so, but In Its vain efforts to find a depository for uicm, It crawls around In tho flg. ferti lizes tho stigmas of the femalo flowers then In tho receptive stage, and thus. although It sacrifices Its own life and fnlls to propagate Its species. It paves the foundation for the propagation of new (lg trees, from the fertile seeds which arc produced, and which could otherwise only be raised from cuttings, as well as for bringing to perfection a flg which can well ho named a "king' nmong Its kind, nnd which without its nld would dry and shrivel up. In Its Winter Quarters. Having provided for tho flgs which delight tho pnlato, we again turn to our valuable little friend, and carry it through to Its winter quarters. From the Proflchl Flgs remaining on the Capri Fig trees, the insects pass Into the Mammonl crop carrying pol len on their bodies and wings, fertiliz ing 'the Isolated specimens of female flowers and depositing their eggs In the gall flowers and then perishing, having In this case not only propagat ed their own species but having been the menus of providing for thu propa gation of new Capri Flg trees, from the fertile seeds which tho fig con tains, Tho first Mammonl crop ma tures In August and the wasps pass from this to tho second Mammonl This crop ripens from October 15 to December 1st. As stated beforo many of the flgs will remain green and dormant during the winter months Tho flgs which do mature, aro of two classes, those which contain nothing hut female flowers, tho Insects being entirely absent known nB pulpy flgs nnd although cdlblo aro rather Insipid; and those producing a normal flg, from which tho insects Issue the samo as In prior crops.

In recon struction times, when It put the ballot Intu the hands ot tho negro. Doubt His most ot the people will agree with that conclusion, but tho suffrage was given to the blacks upon tho samo con ditions as It has always been given to the whites In the South, and (t was not suggested by tho experience ot the South before the war, nor has tho con duct of the Southern whltej mce tho wnr given rise to the suggestion that manhood suffrage was a failure. Hut tho main purpose of the article appears when tho scene Is shU'tol to Hawaii, where things are In n tsrrlble mess, owing to tho American system c f annexation. It looks as If President Roosevelt might be persuaded to re move Governor Dole at least we hear of n special representative ot the Prei Idcnt going out thero to learn the tacts first hand and not tako the statements of Governor Dole and tbo Governor has been one of tho leading representa tives ot tho whlto American Influence of the Islands. The coniphlnt Is thaC the suffrage ought not to have been given to the native Hawailans. Dut If we had not annexed the Islands, 'his trouble would not have arisen. The population thero waB not ready for the American system of government. Al ready tho Islands have caused us more trouble thnn they have been of benefit. nnd It remains yet to be shown that the annexation was a wise measure, it has never yet appeared that we could not havo secured without an nexation all the advantages which we expected to gain by It, while we would have nvolded the Interference of Ha waiian matters with the business of the United States proper, for which we need all the time of Congress and all the money which we can raise by tax ation. Hut when It comes to manhood suf frage, it is not shown by the experi ence of Hawaii that It Is a failure, but It Is more evident that what Is needed Is nn educational qualification, such as we hac In Massachusetts, but which Is not In force In most ot the States, and In retaining which Massachusetts gives thn Southern States opportunity to fling nt her tho charge that she Is as unconstitutional as they arc with their shotgun arguments. Intelligence is re quired fur tho suffrage, as fully 'in this country as It Is In Hawaii and tor the Southern and Northern whites' as for the blacks. We hope.
