From the above statement it will be seen that the treasury is 

 left with a deficit of $12.26. The expenditures for the past 

 year have been larc^er than in former years because of the ag- 

 ricultural exhibition held in cooperation with the Hawaiian 

 Poultry Show. 



The expenses connected with this exhibition were : 



Cash prizes $1550 



Prize ribbons (ribbons $2.70, printing $1.50) 4.20 



Exhibit cards 4.50 



Labor 2.00 



Blue pencils 20 



Bunting 5.45 



Plates 1.35 



Total $33.1 



The last two items, amounting to S6.75, it is anticipated the 

 Poultry Association will assume. 



Early in November, 1906, the following circular was sent 

 out to one hundred persons supposed to be interested in the 

 Farmers' Institute movement, out of which twenty have re- 

 sponded by paying their dues for 1907. Probably more would 

 respond if seen in person, but the limited time at the disposal 

 of your Secretary-Treasurer has made this practically impos- 

 sible. 



Respectfully, 



F. G. KRAUSS, 

 Secretary-Treasurer. 



Dear Sir: It has been decided to raise the annual dues of 

 the Farmers' Institute of the Territory of Hawaii to $1.^0. 

 And upon payment of same, members will receive free the 

 Hawaiian Forester and Agriculturist, which is the official 

 organ of the Institute in Hawaii. 



The Farmers' Institute dues were formerly Si. 00 per an- 

 num. The regular subscription price to the Hawaiian For- 

 ester and Agriculturist is $1.00.
