We beg to announce to the Smokers of Honolulu and the Islands that we have just
taken from the Custom House a large quantity of the best MANILA CIGARS. There has
been no " take-what-you-can-get " business in the selection of these cigars ; they have been
bought where the best only is manufactured. If you were to personally make your pur
chases, you would not be better pleased than you will be when you smoke one of these.

WRONG METHOD
WITH PINEAPPLES
Local Shippers Do Not Follow
Plan to Get Best
Results.
There is some question as to the
desirability of keeping up shipments
of fresh pineapples to the Coast, par
ticularly shipments intended for
farther east points, as many of the
pineapples upon being opened revealed
a bad core.
, Much of the fresh fruit arriving at
coast points looked fine on the outside
and appeared to be as good fruit as
retailers would care to place before
customers. But many retailers have
had returned to them by customers'
fruit which was unmistakably rotten.
The sad part of such dealing is that
that customer would probably never
buy another Hawaiian pineapple.
J. W. Higgins of the Federal Ex
periment Station, took some shipments
of Hawaiian pines to the Coast a yearf
or so ago anu watcneu tne crates wnen
landed at San Francisco. He had the
fruit shipped to points further up the
Coast and the fruit, when finally open
ed, was found to be in excellent condi
tion, and pronounced by those who par
took. of it to be better than any other
pines.
Hawaiian canned pineapples have
found more favor with the mainland
public than any other brands, but much
of the fresh fruit is said to be so poor
when opened in the house of a cus
tomer that it is destroying all the
good advertising derived from the
canned product.
Representatives in San Francisco of
a Hawaiian Pineapple Company at first
did a fine business with fresh pines.
The representatives went from Hono
lulu to look after the shipments. But
they were up against some hard propo
sitions, particularly in the way the
crates were handled. Many were
broken and the fruit b'ruised. Much of
the fruit was too ripe on arrival. After
being sold it was found that the core
had begun to rot and of course the re
mainder of the jane- was fit only for
the ' garbage barrel. It is said that
the valuable experiments conducted by
Mr. Higgins, who found the best meth
ods of crating and shipping, have "not
been properly followed, and the re
sults have been disastrous to the
shippers.

Jacob Kotinsky, Superintendent of
Entomology, at the meeting of the
Board of Agriculture and Forestry yes
terday afternoon, presented the follow
ing report for the month of August:
I beg to report herewith on the work
of the Division of Entomology during
the month of August.
Inspection.
We boarded twenty-eight vessels and
examined matter brought by twenty
one of them. Our examination resulted
as follows:
Disposal With Principal Causes.
Passed as free from pests: Lots, 661;
parcels, 13,754. Refused landing: lot,
1; parcels, 3. Fumigated before relaps
ing: Lots, 3; parcels, 6. Burned: Lots,
14; parcels. 61. Total examined: Lots,
679; parcels, 13,824.
The most importan things held up
were an unknown white fly (Aleyrodes)
on potted clover from California; alli
gator pear mealy bug (Pseudoeoccus
mpae) on Kentia belmoreana from an
Ohio greenhouse; finally, lepidopterous
and other larvae in mango seeds from
Manila.
This is the season when many of the
peaches imported are badly infested
with the caterpillar of the peach twig
jnoth (Anarsia lineatella), and To
guard against their importation we
either refused lauding to such fruit or
Ticked it over, burning those infested.
This saved merchants from total loss.
In view of the terrible loss fruit
flies inflict on fruits in Australia,

portation of fruit from that region,
whether in large lots or small ones, is
strictly enforced.
Hilo Inspection.
On his work in Hilo, Bro. M. Newell
writes as follows:
REPORT FOR AUGUST.
Eight foreign vessels,' 125 lots, 1646
parcels.
Wormy fruit was unusually rare. A
few cases of fruit were thrown away,
having arrived in bad condition.
Some river spuds were again im
ported, but being free from soil were
allowed to pass. The importers were
however reminded of the fact that it
is a Tisky thing to import the article,
and they will have to abide by the
consequences. .
That apples, pears, cherries, plums,
etc., could be successfully grown on
these islands, was a point of which I
was never convinced. Last week, how
ever, I changed my mind. At a plc.ee
called Keanakolu, on the slope of Ma-1
una Kea, at an elevation of 6000 feet, i
I saw an orchard of these fruits. The
branches were actually bending to the
ground under the loads they carried.
Apples and pears were especially fine
though not yet fully ripe. Cherries
and some ther fruits were already out
of season. It was a beautiful sight,
wd reminded one of a California
orchard.
Considering' that the trees are left to
take care of themselves it is surprising
that there should be so much fruit. The
trees were planted twenty years ago,
I was told, but are still in healthy
condition. The only care taken is, to
have the place fenced. Though I have
the fruit a careful examination, not a
single wormy fruit could be found.
The mynah bird seems to be the only
enemy of the fruit up there, but this
pest could be easily and effectually in
oculated with a good shotgun.
As previously reported, algaroba
beans, if allowed to remain in storage
any length of time, deteriorate owing
to the activity of two rr three species
of bean weevils. One of these, the larg
est with very much thickened hind legs,
was supposed to be a ew arrival. I
am informed by a careful observer, Mr.
G. A. Jordan, that it is not, that he
has known it for years, though it may
not yet have been distributed to all
the islands. To help keep it confined
to Oahu so long as possible we fumi
gated 225 sacks of these beans with
carbon bisulfide ("high life") before
shipment to the Bishop Estate in Kona.
We also fumigated a lot of ornamental
and fruit plants shipped to Tahiti. It
is my belief that the uniform practise
of fumigating everything shipped from
the government nursery would be a
wise institution. Quite a series of in
sects now known to be on Oahu only,
would thus perhaps remain indefinitely
confined to this island. I
From Mr. Koebele we received a ;
large lot of boxes with horn fly enemies, j
Mr. Fullaway, entomologist at the Fed-1
eral Station, received a parcel of para- '
sitised bean weevils which that station
is importing for the sake of the para
sites. The senders of these do not
apparently realize the great responsi
bility involved when they do not take
the utmost precaution against break
age en route. i
With the departure of Mr. Van Dine
the inspection of imported bees de
volved upon me. Fortunately the two
lots that came under our observation
were consigned to men that could be
relied upon to carry out instructions.
Accordingly, after consrlting Mr. Wa
terhouse, they were turned over to them
with instructions to burn all but the
queen bee.- In one instance this was
done under our direct observation.
Miscellaneous.
Much of my own time during the
month was taken with the preparation
of the MS. for and editing the current
Forester. It is out now and promises
to do much useful propaganda. Dr.
Silvestri 's survey of economic entomol
ogy as practised here and the rest of
the Union occupies mst of the number,
which is labeled "Entomological Num
ber," and gives us full credit. In a
recent letter Dr. Silvestri writes inter
estingly as follows, "I have great ad
miration for the work of the Hawai
ian entomologists and I think that the
best plan for controlling insects is that
used there and I think also that no
nation has done so much in very (gen
nine?) economic entomology than (as)
the Hawaiian Islands. I have no rea
son at present to (ex) change my ex
pressed opinion."
