More wan done to fucllltnte tlio de

llmt linn Just passed out of existence
tlihn nnv previous body, nccordlng to
tho men Interested In putting through
various measures on the subject. And
now that tho legislature In liver, prep
arations nro going forward to carry
Into effect nt least one measure that
should Immediately benefit the produo
irs of Inland fruits anil tgctnblea
Tliln In the "market superintendent
measure." nnd In reality It consists of
two bills The first passed wan Hen-
ate Dill No 51, which reorganizes tlie
department of Immigration and adds to
It powern, duties and resource.
Under the termn of thin bill, tho
board of Immigration, labor and sta
tistics In empowered to "establish and
malntnln n marketing dlvlnlon, under
tho 1 barge of a competent marketing1
superintendent, to promote the profit
able snlo of the produce of the Terri
tory It may employ persons to re
ceive and to promote n market for og-j
rlculttiral and other produce, the prod
uce of the fnrmern and manufacturers
of Hawaii; to grade, nort, pack and
More mien produce; to Instruct tho
farmern and settlers of tho Territory
In ineth'oda of rnlnlng, protecting, pack
lug and marketing their cropn; to e
eure fnvornble rnten nnd conditions for
the transportation of the name, nnd
to do all other things thereunto related
necessary or proper to promote the set
tlement In Hawaii of nmall farmern
nnd the prosperity ,of the farming In
dustries of the Territory"
Under thin net, then, the board Is
given very broad powers In aiding and
encouraging small farming.
Another bill wan also passed by the
Legislature. It handles hut one sub
ject, that of the market superintend
ent nnd bin work This calls for tho
appointment of n market superintend
ent by the Oovernor. II In duties nro
"to encouruRe and promote the profit-
nblo sale and exchange generally of the
Territory, but more especially fruits
and vegetables, by
1 Visiting orchards and gardens
throughout the Territory nnd consult
ing with nnd ndvlslng the owiiers nnd
occupants thereof
2 Making trips to the Western
mainland of the United States and ns
cirtuhitug the condition of the market
for Hawaiian produce with the view
particularly of establishing satisfac
tory business relations between pro
ducers within the territory of the
1'nlted States and commission bouses, r
clubs mid hotels on the Western inaliy
land of tho United Stntes.
3. Investigating and reporting upon
the priHluce business nnd especially
transportation to nnd from Island ports
and tho mainland.
I'mids for carrying on the work are
to be paid by the board of Immigra
tion, which Is supported by the special
conservation fund
These two laws do not conflict, al
though the passage of the latter was
largely useless with tho former In
force, nnd the Legislature considered
for n wlille cutting out the marketing
department provision from the bill re
organizing the board of Immigration.
An soon ns the market superintend
ent Is appointed by the Clovcrnnr, the
board plans to get blm busy with the
work before him Many parts of the
Territory are waiting to ho developed,
mainland markets are vvnltlnu for some
organized plan for getting TMinnnas,
pineapples nnd other produce from tho
small fanner, and, In fnct, tho market
superintendent will Imvo his work
ready for blm from tho moment ho
steps Into olllce.
A large part of thin work nnd Its
'effectiveness will depend upon tho
careful gathering -of statistics to bring
the facts of small farming production
on the Inlands Into workable shape. It
Is expected, however, that the estab- '
I Million t of permanent relations with
the buyers of the innlnlnnd will bo tho
greatest step forward. It will also
servo nnother purpose to advertise
Hawaii 011 the mainland among tho
American farmers, and this, nccnrdlng
to many of those Interested In tho up
building of the Territory, will be tho
beginning of an unassisted Immigra
tion that will keep up.
