PLANTERS IN SESSION.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE LABOR AND
SUPPLY COMPANY.


The roll was called by the Secre-
tary Hon. w. o. Smith, when it was
found that IL, 446 shares were repre-
scented out of 10, 1876.
The minutes of the last annual
meeting having been published in
full! in the Planters Monthly, were
not read. The Secretary read the
minutes of two trustees meetings.
one held May I'd, 1888, to meet a
delegation of the Anti-Asiatic Union,
the other on September 24th, to
make arrangements for the annual
meeting.
Col. z. S. Spalding moved the
election of officers be proceeded
with, and after that they adjourn TO
some hour to discuss the condition
of the company and take such action
as might be found necessary, in ac-
cordance with resolution adopted
one year ago aud which was referred
to a committee. The latter he
thought would be able to make a re-
port. AS this matter was entirely
concerning the interests of the COM
pany, he moved the session be an
executive one. The motion was
carried.
President Baldwin thought they
might just as well go on with bust
ness until noon, as no doubt there
were reports to be read.
Col. Z. S. Spalding said he had
put. on paper the result of expert
ments made by him since the last
meeting. 1t explained the methods
employed in the manufacture of
sugar, the technical terms used, and
would give non-professionals inte-
rested in the manufacture better
knowledge of the reports read at
these meetings. People had said to
him they would like to read the re-
ports if they could understand
them. He would like to have as
many present of those interested in
the manufacture of sugar, when his
report was read.
President Baldwin thought it was
very good idea to ask outsiders to
hear the report.
Col. Spalding said there was
great many things put into the
Planters Monthly that non-profes-
SIGNALS did not understand. He
moved that the rules be suspended
and the Board of Trustees be re-
elected for the ensuing year.
Secretary Smith moved as an
amendment that Robt. Halstead be
appointed in place of j. M. Lidgate
who did not wish to serve.
Both motions were carried. The
Board of Trustees is as follows: III.
p. Baldwin, HI. F. Glade, P. G..
Jones, j. b. Atherton, w. o. Smith,
c. M. Cooke, Il. S. Spalding, Robt.
Halstead and F. A. Schaefer.
Mr.. j. M. Horner read paper on
cane cultivation, referring princi-
pally to weeds and irrigation.
s. On motion of Col. Spalding the
report was received with thanks and
ordered to be printed in the the
Planters Monthly.
Mr.. b. F. Dillingham; next read a
paper on live stock. 1t contained
Interesting statistics showing the inn
ports of live stock, hay, grain, etc.
The committee think that great
deal of cash has been sent out of
the country for stock inferior to that
raised here. The imports of live
stock during the ten years, 1878 to
1887, amounted to 1884 ,O86.69. OF
this amount $168, 928.96, nearly
one-fifth of the whole, was for hogs.
An excellent substitute for imported
hay had been found in the grass
known under the common name of
millet. A cutting of millet lately
made on the premises of Judge Nc
Gully, gives about % tons to the
acre, growth of two months. Five
crops can be taken off in the year.
1t proves to be an excellent article
of feed. Summing up the imports
of our live stock, hay, dairy pro-
ducts, potatoes, etc., for 1887,
shows in the tables an aggregate of
$316, 495.54. The expansion of the
live stock and small farm industries
means for these islands, the opening
up of great natural resources capa-
BILE of sustaining population
counted byimillions, instead of by
thousands.
On motion of Mr.. F. A. Schaefer
the report was received and ordered
to be printed. Mr.. Schaefer thought
the report very elaborate one and
contained the most reliable informa-
ton.
Considerable discussion took
place on grasses in which Messrs.
Horner, L. r. Walker, Spalding,
G. M. Cooke, Dillingham;, Jones
and Baldwin took part.
Mr.. p. G. Jones, treasurer, read
the following reports:
