Island Irian potatoes have been Roll ing readily at good prices during the week but the price is likely to drop shortly due to large crop on Maui and Kauai, part of which will be sent to Honolulu. Onions are still plentiful and cheup. Large quantities on hand which are moving slowly. Hogs are bringing better prices this week than have been offered for sev eral months. Dealers are of the opin ion that they will go still higher In the near future. Tomatoes and cucumbers which were so plentiful a short time ago are getting scarcer now and bring better prices. Bell peppers are rather plantiful and cheap. Large quantities of this vegetable are being brought, in from Kaimuki. Cantaloupes and watermelons are getting scarcer and prices better. Eggs advanced one cent a dozen during the week. The demand for fresh eggs Is good. Smooth skinned red pweet potatoes are in demand. The white skinned varieties are not so popular. Kauai sweet potatoes are scarce. During the coming week the office of the Marketing Division will be moved to permanent quarters on Mau nakea street between King and Queen streets, which have Just been painted. By moving the office there will be more room in the present sales room and it will not be necessary to block the sidewalk with crates and boxes. An architect is at work drawing the plans for the new sales room and warehouse and it is expected tr.at it will be ready for occupancy by the first of September. It is planned to have a suitable building large enough to handle all .kinds of vegetables, fruits, poultry and general produce that the Division is likely to have on hand at one time. A small refrigera tor plant will be installed for the pro per storing of butter, cgg3, fruits, etc. Several sanitary steel poultry i-oopa will also be a part of the new equip ment. A. T. LONGLEY, Supt. Ter. Mkt. Division. Probably Green Corn Instead of Cholera Those who have looked into the matter are now inclined to believe that the supposed outbreak of chicken cholera at Hamakuapoko, which killed a lot of valuable hens of Mrs. E. E. Boyum, was some other trouble. Miss Rose Crook, of Makawao, who has had much experience with poultry, is con fident that the disorder in the Boyum flock wai due to the feeding of green corn. Miss Crook slates that she has seen a number of instances similar to this, which were undoubtedly due to allowing the birds access to immature corn, as was true in this present case. The mortality and the symptoms are said to strikingly similar to real c1". 1 era. e DEMONSTRATION FARM PLANNED If the plans of the Hawaii Experi ment Station can be carried out a tract of land in the new Makawao homestead district, soon to be open ed, will be set aside for the use of the station as a demonstration farm. Moreover it is hoped that this farm may be the first to be developed in order that the settlers may have ihr advantage of the experience which must be gained in opening any new farm district in the Territory. Land Commissioner Tucker, who spent last week on Maui, expressed himsel' in hearty accord with such a plan. CROPS SUFFER FROM DROUG T. Continued dry weather In Makawa' and Kula is causing much concern among the farmers of these dUtrl'ts, whose crops are seriously threatened An unusually promising stand of corn in Makawao is already suffering from the drought, and unless rain comes soon will probably be practically a total loss. The same conditions exist in perhaps lesser degree in the Kui aha homestead region where all farm operations are retarded by want of rain. URGES FRESH FRUIT SHIPMENTS. Senator Smoot urges the Hawaiian pineapple growers to go after the fresh fruit business on the mainland. Hawaii is the only place where the best fruit is put into tins, Senator Smoot points out. Elsewhere, the can neries handle simply the surplus after the fresh fruit market has been sup plied. Thus they get a cheaper pro duct, and Hawaii is trying to compete against this kind of product. The Sen aotr spent over a month in the islands, and declares his belief that the pine apple business can be made to approx imate in importance the sugar in dustry if it is properly cared for. BORN.

J. H. Manning, a Kuiaba homestead er put in his barn last Tuesday about two tons of wheat and oat hay which he produced on less than two acres of land. The hay was of unusually good quality, and considerable inter est has been aroused in the communi ty over the experiment. Both outs and wheat headed well, and are un usually heavy in grain. No difficulty was experienced in growing either crop the oats were slightly rusted, this according to Mr. Manning, and while the oats were slightly rusted, this trouble v. as much less than frequently experienced on the mainland. It is estimated that the yield of cured hay was about a ton and a half per acre. The hay was cut last Saturday after noon, and thoroughly cured by Tues day. Prof. Krauss, of the experiment sta tion, is much interested in the experi ment and is investigating the feasibi lity of kiln drying, which Is reported to have been developed to a high de gree of perfection by the Department of Agriculture in Lolusiana. Should it prove practical, thus eliminating the danger of loss through uncertain weather conditions at curing time, Mr. Krauss believes that hay, at the high prices always prevailing in the islands could be made a profitable crop in many districts. Mr. Manning's hay was produced in less than three months time. DIED BISHOP In San Francisco, Califor nia, June 7, 1915, Charles R.
