FARMERS' INSTITUTE. 



Tlic horticulturist lius acted as secretary-treasurer of the farmers' 

 institute of Hawaii. Four meetings have l)een held during the year, 

 at each of which three or more papers oi- lectures have been presented. 

 The meml)ersliip has l)een increased. so that sulHcient funds have been 

 s(H'ured to meet the minoi- incidental expenses of the institutes. No 

 ( .(.vcnunent funds are availal)le for the carryingon of this work. An 

 arrangement has been made with the Hawaiian P'orester and Agricul- 

 turist, the local agricultural pei-iodical, so that all papers presented 

 at the meetings are now published and thus made avaihible to every- 

 one in the Territory and also are preserved in permanent form.
