ment to the establishment of better marketing facilities for the 
small farmer. The means were provided for making such an ex- 
periment in accordance with plans to be provided by the present 
commission, appointed for that purpose. The territorial govern- 
men, therefore, stands ready to give its assistance to the project 
in hand and, as already shown in this report, the dealers in Hono- 
lulu desire to see such a method of marketing established. They 
consider that under such a system the problem of obtaining mis- 
cellaneous farm products would be considerably simplified, in so 
far as their interests are affected. In order, however, that a 
Government wharf sor the reception and distribution of miscel- 
laneous farm products under territorial supervision should be set 
aside and maintained with success, it is necessary to have the 
co-operation of the producer. An attempt is now being made 
to make known to our farmers the essential features of the pro- 
posed scheme of marketing and distribution, and to enlist their 
active interest in the improvement of their own conditions. 
Respectfully submitted,
