PINEAPPLE PRICES UP
Good news to the independent pine
apple grower IS the announcement ot
higher prices to be paid this year by
the cai:nerles, an increase of nearly
20 per cent over prices of last year.
Next Step forward should be better
grading and sizing of pines by a me
chanical process at the cannery. This
would do much to insure a square
deal both to the grower and to the
cafrinery buying the fruit. We will
have more to say on this subject lat
er. THE SWEET POTATO AND
GARDEN WEEDS
With the approach of summer and
school vacations close at hand, when
school and home gardens are usually
abandoned to weeds, we ought to give
special consideration to the humble
but useful sweet potato. Teachers
and pupils, householders and farmers
who have not yet tried planting the
sweet potato as a fill-In crop would
do well to set all available land,
which would otherwise be Ideal, to
one of the rank growing varieties. We
know ot none better than the New
Era. The vines cover the ground
quickly, smother the weeds, mellow
the soil and produce a crop at little
cost, and with little attention. The
essential part Is to give the plunts
a good start by providing a fair and
clean seed bed. After this they will
take care of themselves if nevescsary.
Make your: plans now to grow sweet
potatoes in pluce of weeds during
the long dry summer months which
will soon be upon us. Select well ma
tured cuttings rather than soft suc
culent ones; unless your soil is' es
pecially mellow and fairly moist.
This 1b essential to getting a good
full stand, without which weeds are
Bure to crowd in and replace the oth
erwise universally adaptable sweet
potato.
INSECTS IN STORED FOODS
We do not know Just how much
money Is lost every year in Hawaii
from destruction of stored foods by
irsetcts, but we know the loss is en
ormous. Rice, corn, barley, flour,
beans, peas, dried fruits, dried fish,
and meats and many other kinds of
food In storage are attacked and de
voured by various kinds of insects.
The loss in the United States from
these enemies is said to be over 100
million dollars every year.
In addition to eating and destroy
ing thousands of dollars worth of food
in Hawaii, these insects' also con
taminating with their poisons the food
they do not eat. Experiments carried
on in Ohio prove that these contam
inated foods cause serious sickness.
One scientist states as his belief that
eating rice contaminated by weevils
causes beri-berl.
Protect the stored food crops which
you raise, for losses in storage from
insects may remove all your profit.
Protect also the food stuffs you buy
and keep in temporary storage, for
these may be attacked by the same
Insects and you suffer loss there, too.
How to Protect
Many experiments have shown that
beat is one of the best and cheapest
protections against these destructive
insects. A temperature of 125 or 130
degrees Fhr. Is fatal to them If main
for an hour or more, but this does
not hurt the stored foods and does not
kill the germinating power of corn
and beans. Of course, one has to be
very careful to not let the temper
ature run too high or Injury will re
sult. Another good method Is fumigation
with carbon-bisulphide, placing the
stuff to be treated in an air tight room
or chest, and putting in carbon-bisulphide
at the rate of one ounce to
25 cubic feet ot space. Carbon-bisulphide
is exposive and Inflammable
and also has a very disagreeable od
or. For small amounts of stored foods
to be treated, we believe that mild
heat in an oven is the best. It will
pay every farmer and householder to
give thought to this matter. If more
detailed information is wanted we will
be glad to furnish It. For the use of
heat on a large Bcale against de
structive insects we suggest that Bul
letin 354 of the Ohio Experiment sta
tion, Wooster, Ohio,' published Janu
ary H-22, be sent for. This gives de
tained information on building a heat
plant and its requirements.
SOME GOOD BULLETINS FOR YOU
Thru the kindness ot the late prince
the board of agriculture and forestry
has for free distribution a supply of
several good bulletins published by
the U. S. Department ot Agriculture.
These are Farmers' Bulletins and
give valuable Information on many
subjects of interest in Hawaii, it
you want copies of any of these send
you request to C. S. Judd, Board of
Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu.

VARIETIES FOR HAWAII
The successful establishment of a
crop as a new industry Is frequently
more dependent upon the selection
and development of a suitable vari
ety or varieties than upon any other
factor. The ideal variety of any crop
is one that most nearly meets (1).
the commercial requirements of the
markets where it is sold, and (2) the
cultural conditions under, which it Is
grown, such as climate, soils, ship
ping distance, etc.
Higglns, (in Bulletin 7, Hawaii Ex
periment station, 1904) enumerates at
least ten introduced varieties of ba
nanas and double that number of na
tive sorts growing in Hawaii. Most
of these, while they succeed well un
der favorable conditions' and are us
ed more or less extensively here, have
not thus far Lee:i considered consid
ered as commercial varieties, except
ign the Chinese or, Canary Island va
riety (Musa Cavendishil). This is a
dwarf type of very fine q'isili'y sue
ceeding wherever bananas grow in
Hawaii. It is said to have been Intro
duced from Tahiti about 1855. Its
habit of low growth is much in its
favor, especially when grown in win
dy places. It bears large bunches un
der favorable conditions of soil mois
ture and exposure, its flavor and tex
ture is considered superior to that
of most other varieties to be eaten
out of the hand. Its only drawback is
that it requires very careful handling
in shipping, but with reasonable care
it stands shipment well. It is higl
ly esteemed in San Francisco and
other Pacific coast markets, even
though the retail dealers find fault
with its keeping qualities. This vari
ety would appear to be safe one to
plant extensively by all who contem
plate growing bananas commercially
in Hawaii.
The Jamaican or, BJuefield banana
also known as Martinique (M. saplen
tum) was introduced into Hawaii In
1903 by Phillip Peck of Hilo, and al
so by the territorial board of agricul
ture and forestry In the same year.
This is the chief commercial variety
of the world and the principal one of
the American trade. It Is the princi
pal variety grown in Central Ameri
ca and Jamaica and forms the great
bulk of the United Fruit company's
trade. The chief merit of the Blue
field banana is its remarkable ship
ping quality and the fine appearance
of its well developed bunches. How
ever, its flavor Is' only fair and its
texture is coarse compared with the
dwarf Chinese variety, which, is so
firmly and favorably established in
Hawaii. The plants of the Bluefield
are very large and tall, which is a
cultural disadvntage in windward lo
cations, as the plunts are likely to
go down in a strong wind. In well
sheltered rich lands it grows to a
Ligh state of perfection in Hawaii,
and we have seen bunches weighing
up to 100 pounds grown locally. It
would probably not be wise to grow
this variety extensively excepting in
well favored localities.
The Red Spanish or Jamaican Red,
also called Cuban Red. is a handsome
fruit and a few bananas are occasion
ally shipped to the Sun Francisco
market from Honolulu at a good
price.
In discussing banana varieties, we
would lay particular stress upon the
possibilities of developing superior
strains of the local Chinese variety
and possibly other types, thru bud se
lection, such ad 'is being done with
sugar tune and pineapples ink Hawaii
and with citrus and other crops else
where. Untold possibilities are In
store for the breeder, of a superior
strain of bananas.
HONOLULU MARKET PRICES
Beef and pork prices are about as
last week.
Eggs are firm at 65 cents a doz.
with the supply becoming gradually
more scarce and a tendency toward
higher prices, though the present quo
tation Is expected to hold for several
weeks.
Bununus vary in price a good deal
according to quality, averaging from
3 to 4 cents per lb., with 5 cents of
fered by some for extra quality
bunches.
Cabbage is up a little just now,
around 2 cents per lb., but It is not
steady.
Papayas are firm at 2 and 2 1-2
cents per lb.
Sweet potatoes bring from 2 to 2 1-2
cents per lb.
White potatoes (California) cost
about 2 cents per lb laid down in
Honolulu, but Island grown white po-1
tutoes bring a little higher than that. J
Watermelons are abundant now, '
dealers paying 3 to 3 1-2 cents per '
pound.
Everybody's Doing It
Lots of folks that laugh, because It
takes 5,000,000 rubles to buy a pair
ot shoes in Russia are saving cigar
coupons over here to get a grand
