An Investigation of the problems of
the rice Industry In Hawaii was begun
July 1, 1909, funds for the purpose
of a co-operative experiment having
been provided by the Bernice Pauahl
Bishop estated (limited), and the II
estate (limited). The trustees of the
Bishop estate (limited), and the II
work, and the II estate contributed
the lease of 3.2 acres of rice land,
located at the Junction of King street,
and Kalakaua avenue, In the city of
Honolulu. Mr. F. G. Krauss, who had
been agricultural Instructor at the
Kameharneha boys' school for the pre-
ceding five years, was appointed an
agricultural expert in this office to
have charge of the work. Operations
were commenced about August 1, 1906,
and consisted of variety tests of 130
different rices obtained In the Islands
through the Bureau of Plant Industry,
United Sattes Department of Agricul-
ture, and through the bureau of agri-
culture, Manila, P. I. In addition care-
ful selections had previously been
made from individual plants, repre-
senting Some of the beat strains of
rices now being grown In Hawaii
Two crops of rice have been grown
during the period from August 1, 1906,
to August 31, 1907.
The results of the variety test have
been that one variety, seed of which
was originally obtained by Dr. 8. A.
Knapp in Egypt, has proved to be
better than any rice ever grown In
these Islands. This Egyptian strain
has a very large, flinty grain, heavy
panicle, heavy straw, good leafage,
and Is of the type demanded by the
largest consuming trade In these Is-
lands. Its milling qualities are very
much superior to those of any other
variety which has b'een produced In
the Islands, the hulls approximating
only 20 per cent, of the total weight
of paddy, as compared with from 26
to 30 per cent, for the best Japanese
types, and 28 to 36 per cent, for the
ordinary Hawaiian variety. In addi-
tion to this Egyptian type three other
strain's have shown "■ marked superi-
ority to the ordinary Hawaiian-grown
rices. These are In order of merit, a
Philippine variety, a strain of the
gold seed from Georgia, and a Japan-
ese type, seed of which was secured
direct fr6m Japan.
This Japanese variety produces a
crop In Ihcee-fourths the time required
for the maturity of the Hawaiian va-
riety, provided It is transplanted from
the seed bed at the proper time. It Is
of the Klushu type, yields as heavily
as the Hawaiian variety, mills from
ten to 12 per cent, better, produces
only about two-thlrdfi; the amount ot
straw, and is therefore less exhaustive
on the rice lands. It Is the type of
rice now most largely consumed in
Hawaii by the Japanese laborers on
the plantations. A further advantage
of the adoption of Ibis variety will be
that two crops cun be grown each
year, with a long rest between crops

great many different types, so that to
get the best results in harvesting
some of the rice will be so ripe that
the grain shatters, while a portion of
the plants In the field have perhaps
barely attained a sufficient degree of
ripeness to warrant their being cut
The losses In milling are due to tbs
varying sizes and typea of grain aad
their varying stages of maturity. The
miller seta his burra to accommodate
the average alze of grain In the run,
ao that grains which are too large are
broken and those which are smaller
than the average are insulficleatly
milled, causing bad color In the prod-
uct.
The uniformity of grain will un-
doubtedly prove of greater Impor-
tance- than any other Blngle factor la
the production of this crop. This un-
iformity can be produced only by the
production of pedigree stock; that la,
stock derived originally from a single
parent plant.
Three varieties of dry land rice have*
been selected from ,the original va-
riety collection. An Interesting point
about these dry-land rices Is that they
produce a better crop without irriga-
tion than with It. The value of dry-
land rice Is going to be not so much
the production of grain, because'
dry-land rices tend toward the stareby
type of grain rather than the flinty,
but the production of forage. The
culm and leafage of the dry-land typee
of rices are soft and pliable, lacking
the silica that causes the harshneee
of Irrigated sorts. These strains pro-
duce a quality of hay which la greedily
eaten by horses and cattle. The pres-
ent outlook Is that dry-land rices will
fill a very Important need in Hawaii
In the production of bay and forage.
Fertiliser experiments have been
conducted for two crops In pot, plat,
and field experiments. While It la
perhaps too early to draw conclusions,
the Indications are that an Increase of
from 15 to 20 per cent, of grain per
acre can be Induced by use of com-
mercial fertilizers of suitable compos!-1
lion.
Early In the year orders were placed
for a number of types of agricultural'
machinery not hitherto used in the
rice Industry In Hawaii. These In-
cluded disk tillage Implements and
the twine binder. Disk tillage is
promising, provided machinery can bo
secured which will give a penetration
of from six to eight Inches. The typo
of cut-away, or disk plows and disk
harrows, which the station has se-
cured, would only penetrate about
four Inches, although the manufactur-
ers claimed ft much greater penetra-
tion: It was found that 4.6 acres of
rice land could be plowed per day
with a five foot cut-away bog plow1
and four horses, as against from on*»
to one and a half acres with two wa-
ter buffalo, or from three to four
horses on a ten-inch mold-hoard plow
turning the soil to a depth of about
six Inches. This Is the only advan-
tage which this form of Implement
has over the Improved types. If
mHnufBceures of disk Implement*
will evolve a type of bog plow that
will turn the ground from six to eight
Inches In depth, there Is no doubt that
(hey would be Immediately adopted
by the Chinese rice growers.
A number of trials were made in
the harvesting of rice with a five-foot
twine binder harvester, and It is be-
lieved that the Chinese rice growers
would adopt this type of machinery

pointed out that the hotel Industry on
the Riviera alone represents a capi-

most of the hotels belong to Swiss
and other foreigners. There Is no
real reason why Frenchmen should
not make excellent hotel keepers, but
hotel keeping has to be learned, am)
the idea Is to found a school at which
young Frenchmen may be trained In
everything pertnlning to the hotel,
from languages to cooking and hy-
