A Sandwich Island paper makes q statement
relative 70 the raising OF Cotton in that part 81
the world which will interest oUrreaders On
the 18th OF July a schooner brought TO Homo
lulu rom Nnhau some $500 pounds, and the
steamer and kona packet some 400 pounds
from Hawaii, Of the very choicest Sea Island
Cotton, That from Bawaii was raised by q ma
tive. who received 1885 for Cotton brought
down In one Week, including a premium OfSIcO
which be bad carmel, and VITO has been paid
nearly $1,000 for Cotton delivered by him during
the past twelve months. This would indicate
that the article can be grown IN certain locali-
ties. although on the island or Oahu the Guilt
walton Of 1t has nearly ceased, owing TO The
ca'erpilars and drought, which entirely de-
strOyed the plantations in 1865.
There are certain tracts Of low, moist land
near the sea on each Of the Islands, both on the
weather and lee sides, where this plant will
thrive better than anything else, and these are
the localities which should be seiected-the
nearer the sea the better; and OF soils. sandy
soil is the best ANY foreigner who has the
land eau engage pr htaDly in Cotton growing
with very Hule outlay for capital. The reward
Of his labor OF favorable soil, Will be from fifty
to sixty dollars an acre, though good manage
meRt may, perhaps, increase It TO eighty or a
dollars Sugar-cane does net average
this return TO culttvators, 10 say nothing OF haV-
Ing TO wait three times as long for the pay.
