HIGH STOCK FEED
PRICES THREATEN
SWIIIEAIIO DAIRIES
Territory's Supply of Fats is
Menaced, Says Ranchman
in Summing Up Recent De
velopments
Scaring prices for ttoek feed in
Hawaii threaten not only to cause
wholesale slaughtering cf cattle and
hogs, but also In the near future to
cause another material raise in the
, - price of milk.
ew . A number of dairymen are ready
fiow to go ct of business if they can
get rid of their milch cows for any
thing like the Investment represented
In the cows. '
Virtually all hog raisers who have
to buy special feed Instead ef giving
their swine swill will have tOUugh
ter because of these increasing prices
cf stock subsistence. "
Cuch In brief the situation pre
sented today by one of Oabu's-veteran
ranchmen, !. II. Belli na. He foresees
ii f erloini shortage la rattle and swine
V the present trend continues.
The situation is doubly serious lx-
tuse Juht now the military and civil
ian students of the foodstuffs problem
declare that Hawaii should be Increas
ing instead of decreasing its supply of
Xfr. Celllna believes that, the slnnRh
toring tt swine and dry cows is In
creasing now, due to high feed prices
v hich make it unprofitable for ranch
men to continue la business.
Hearing that Mr. fBellina was in
possession cf factJhIcb would be of
value in the present agitation for more
cdequate foodstuffs, the Star-Bulletin
this morning asked him for a state
ment. Summed up, hi oral statement
Is as follow;- --.'"-
Stock Foods Jumping ' f 1
Within the' past two weeks, stofrk
feeds have jumped to an un precedent:
d degree. Here are some of the in
' f reases:' ; '.. "

feed) from 1 4 5. tq Xtt a ton; This tn

from f 57 to 16a a tod. -J
Atfalfa meal,, from $28 and $30 to
; .. 235 a ton. ., v ;, : -
Beet pulp, used to sell around 125.
The fast increase is said to have1 put
it to a figure where the ranchman
cannot afford to feed it to his anl
. rials. . C ; - ; ' ,.-.. .' ".,
Teed for pigs, says Mr. Bellina. Is
(rising with equal rapidity. To some
extent the, same, kinds of feed are
used as for cattle. Alfalfa meal Is a
fw'ine feed.' vj . ; . .-.
Whole corn f ormerly $13 a ton. is
now quoted at $G0, Rice bran Is said
to have gone from 124 to about $30
. 1 er ten.
'Virtually.' all sf these Increases
have become effective'ln the past two
" weeks, aaya Bellina. . v: v
Pigs Must Be Slaughtered '
"As I "view .the situation.' all the
pig-raisers, at . least ' on this island,
who have been buying these feeds,
have "got to slaughter their swine be
cause feed Is so high; it doesn't pay
to raise them. Personally, I must
market some 300 pigs immediately,
v hich will represent a loss because to
. I et a profit I should hare to feed them
for several weeks or months and dis
". lose of tbem in lots. -
"I believe that IT thU situation con
tinues, the supply of swine in the is
lands is going to be cut Tery drastl
tally. And ence the supply Is cut
: !own It takes a long time, by natural
Increase, to bring it up again. ;
: J Milk Situation Serious - ';
. Asked about the milk situation, Bel
lina says that It is quite as serious.
"The Honolulu Dairymen's Associa
t on, cooperative concern of the milk
roducers. handles probably " 81 per
cent cf the milk on Oabu. If the pre
vailing high prices fir dairy feed con
t'nue, I do not see how there caa be
iny result but a jump in mi?k prices.
Either all the producers must rahe or
roine of them will go out of business
-'vend the a-ailable supply be cut down.
n increase in rotfk became effect-.
. i.'e in . February, partly to meet the
Increased cost of production, partly
t make up for a previous loss or defi
r'.t The producers now receive 8
cents a quart from the association.
1 he consumer buys tcr 7 cents a pint !
r is wnts a.juart,, .The increase
' probably be to 8 cents a pint and
15 cents a quart." ; . jr'l
He says that he Is informed already
.there Is a circular letter or. Dcitf Jon
: ri'ng the rounds o( the smaller; pro
ducers; heralding the increase tn;price."
Killing Dry. Cows ' S v
"BecauM of the heavy cost of keep
ing up dairy her la," tie adds, many
'alrymen probably will not be able to
"arry their cows over the 'dry period.
"When the cow goes dry she will b
ent to the slaughterhouse:
v "Traveling over some of our roads
the past few clays. I have seen herds
r-j. & . t j t tA. . . . v
l;robably for the slaughterhouse. It is
, certain that the dalrj .herds will be
J ii aterially reduced."
Bellina estimates that at leaet 50
rer cent of the dairymen on Oahn will
1 face the necessity either of.-getting
. higher prices for their milk or of gains
: out of business. ... ; , .

Governor Sends Letter to Har
bor Board Outlining Regula
: tion for Local Shipping . '
For the purpose of enacting special
regulations for the control of shipping
In Honolulu harbor, during the dura
tion of the war the board of harbor
commissioners met this afternoon at
1:30 in special session.
The board is acting on a letter writ
ten today by Gov. Lucius E. Pinkha
who says that be as the territory's
chief executive requests the board "to
at once promulgate regulations approx
imately as follows:
Harbor Closed at Night '
"No vessel or craft of any kind or
description shall enter Honolulu har
bor from half an .hour after sunset, to
sunrise. : - .
"Vessels over 15 tons (registered
classes) may move from pier to pier
within Honolulu harbor during the day
or night. - .-.
"Vessels under 15 tons are pro
hibited from any movement in Hono
lulu harbor from halt an hour after
sunset, until sunrise, except ships
rowboats, where said ships are an
chored in the stream."
The last eight words, "where such
chips are anchored in the stream, are
heavily underscored In the governor's
letter to the board.
The last paragraph of the letter
says: . ..." . . ' ' v
"Offenders will be subject to arrest
and will endanger themselves to fire of
the forts, after being warned by a shot
across their bows."
The clause forbidding vessels of less
than 15 tons from any movement in
the harbor after aunset will affect all
the Japanese sampans having Hono
lulu as their own port,
The new regulations apparently do
not forbid any American steamer leav
ing thbyport after dark provided the
usual clearance papers are secured.
At 1:40 this afternoon the board, all
of whose members were present er
cept Commissioner. Wakefield, -unanimously
voted for the adoption of the
shipping ' rule requested in the gov
ernor's letter. . Commissioner C J.
McCarthy of fercl the motion; whitli

Immediately The rules go-Jnto effect
