non-collectable claims are included in the reserve for doubtful 

 accounts. 



There was not as ^vcdt a demand for seed from the Division 

 as was antici])ated by the last legislature when it made an 

 appropriation of $2500 and as a consequence there was a lot of 

 seed left. on hand at the end of the 1917 planting season. 



With the Governor's approval $688.40 worth of seed was turn- 

 ed over to the Army for the Post garden at Wahiawa on the 

 understanding that the seed was to be paid for out of the crops, 

 if any, either in cash or produce. A report has been requested 

 from the Army on this matter. The other seed on hand is get- 

 ting old and losing its germination, and I would suggest that it 

 be distributed free of charge if need be in order that it may be 

 of some use to the producers. 



The deficit shown in Schedule "C" of the financial statement 

 includes all expenditures from the Territorial expense appropria- 

 tions and does not represent losses. 



Due to the inability of our largest dressed meat consignor to 

 make regular shipments, the consignment sales for December 

 will probably be considerably less than the average for the past 

 few months. Hiere will be a large crop of beans, however, which 

 should be handled by the Division. 



Respectfully, 



A. T. LONGLEY, 



Superintendent.
