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.

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.
