HOyOLULlI STABUIXETINrTUESDAYg JULY-lirl917 j - K is 0 i ! i. rv. 5; VULSORY SPRAYINGOFCROPS MAY BE ORDERED BY TERRITORY A. L. Castle Reports Good Corn Crop oh Maui But Onion Outlook Not Favorable There should le a reasonably p.xx corn crop on Maui, although the onion .outook li not fatorable. The vaiue of spraying haa bem demonstrated, am la being taken up quickly by Japanese firm era. ff other farmers do not co operate the territorial food commission may have to do the work and charge It to them. Thla i tbe news brought back from the alley Island today' by Senator Al fred L. Caatle, legal counsel with C. R ; Hemenway tor the commission, whej returned thia morning on the Mauna Kea after making a survey of the crop situation on Maul. He gave out the following statement saortly before noon: "The corn c:op tl)-oujhoui Knla i j looking well, nnu there snou'.d m i . reasonably good s iprl? Th? pric , Of this also ahuuld be fauny steady for j some time. It has been very dry on t Maui recenuy, oui tonunaieiy is no. , interfering greatly with the crerK "The) outlook for onions is not favor able. There are some fine onions coming ia from Kola ohortly bur it will be at a tint when the price I? so lo thai tt will hardly pay to ship tacm The price ia now falling rapidly on ac coast ci the California crop. There are stilt potatoes through the farming diatricta, and a fine price may be expected. Mr. Walah, at the Ka htzlul store, is making arrangements to grade some of the next potatoes, and samples can be seen at his store which compare rery favorably with the fancy California product, which are shipped here la crates and sold at fancy prices. - "Mr. Krauss has demonstrated con clusively the value of spraying the Vse of the Bordeaux mixture. Fields which used tbe spray averaged $0 per cent higher In yield than adjoining ffienldc which did not use the sorer, 'The cost of - spraying -Is perhaps $15 Per acre. If this result in an increase in yield of 60 .baas , per. acres., at aay $3 per bag. or 1150. It is obvious that.. the policy of spraying -must be .adopted. Many of the now Ignorant jiamert are very suspicions of all thLi t spraying business and feel the food comnflMioa is trying to swindle them rainer man aid them in every way C.

The Japanese are much in terested in the spraying and are quick to see the advantage of It. I believe l they will be ready to cooperate witii ( us in every way. particularly if the information can be honestly ami ef fl ciently spread among them. We am , at work cn a means of doing this at j present. "If the fa. mem do not voluntarily take up the use o." the spray it may be i necessary for the commission to regu late on the subject, do the sprayins ourselves and charge it against the crop. It is not only a benefit to the producer financially,, but it is a liPce eary protection against waste. Even if the spraying did not actualy Inereast the yield It is a prevention of the spread of oisease from one field to ! another, and is Just as necessary as many of our health regulations. "Another thing w iliat tbe loca' crowsr mill) rftaliz tral ho must nippt eomptitlcxi. Although everv one in Hawaii will give the local produce firs: chance he can not be expected to pay a higher price for home grown pro juct8 f0T Californian. The col- Sltmer niUgt Ke considered just ai mnch as the producer and the con sumer will not pay 13.50 a bog for local potatoes when he can buy other at ?H. The extra 50c would be waste. l'rom the growers point of view .-the food commission agents will in j form them when to plant their seeds, i figuring on the future market. For ' instance a grower of onions can not expect a good price later than June 1, of every year, but in March. April and early May he can expect a handsome price. There is no lack of patriotism in growing onions with a view of get ting a top market Hawaiian grown onions in those months would also tend to bring down to a more reason able level the prevailing prices at that time, and wuld be a distinct benefit to both the producer and consumer. The same applies to potatoes. They can be grown here to catch the early market, and to this end our farmers should urge their efforts. Everything the food commission' can do they will do in assisting them." - Dr. Baldwin, Mr. Krauss and Mr. Walsh are enthusiastic - over their work, and are at it ail the time.
