F. NJ. SWANZY, PRESIDENT HAWAI-
IAN SUGAR PLANTERS ASSOCIA-
TION.

and other commodities. From the
tone of expressions made, it is evident
the association intends to work in ear
nest and for the common good of all
concerned.
AS the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association, the new name of the
body, much broader results are hoped
to be obtained in all branches of the
work carried on by the old assOcia-
ton. The change has been under con-
sideratiOn for some time, but it has
taken much labor to so perfect its
organization that beneficial work may
be carried out. The bylaws of the
new association are lengthy and en-
brace all that is requisite for success
ful operation. Full reports of the
meeting will be published later in the
Planters Monthly. official organ of
the association. These will be read
with interest by all those engaged in
the production of sugar, and other
adjuucts necessary to carry out that
work.
The second and final days session of
the Planters Labor and supply Com
pauy opened at $3.50 a. M, Tuesday,
with President Schaefer in the chair.
J. NJ. Horner read a report on plan
tation transportation. OF late years
mills, fumes, rails and tramways had
been vastly improved over the prod
ucts of previous years. This, of course,
Increased marvelOusly the yearly out
put of sugar. A wrought iron wagon
was recommended for use in mount
ain districts. the report was accepted
and recommended published IN the
Planters Monthly.
Secretary Hoite read bylaws under
which the reorganization of the COM
pauy was asked. Under these 1t Is
hoped 10 make the work more enec-
tive and broader than it was possible
to do heretofore. The organization
will hereafter be known as the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association,
new officials having been named to
carry out the provisions of the work.
1t was unanimously voted to elect
the old board of trustees. Then fol
lowed a lengthy and interesting paper
on the effects of fertilization, prepared
and read by Mr. Morrison.
Professor Maxwell also read a treatise
on the same subject, from which the
appended are excerpts.
Fertilization, in its brOadest and
plaiuest meaning, includes the pro-
viding of the chemical elements OF
food by which plants live and grow,
and of those mechanical conditions OF
the soil in which vegetation most
easily thriv6s.
All soils contain materially smaller
or greater amounts of all the elements
upon which plants feed. Some soils
possess these elements in such abun-
dance and relative balance of proper
ton, and with a measure OF available
ity, which at once constitutes them
"good lands" These lands may be
cropped for a considerable length of
time, and without giving to them any
plant food, before 1t is observed with
certainty that they are losing
strength. Again, other soils may
possess the abundance OF all neces-

AFTERNOON SESSION.

f. NJ. Swanzy, the new president,
occupied the chair at the afternoon
session Tuesday. Most of the time
was consumed in hearing reports on
various subjects of interest to the as
sociatiOn and on which committees
had been appointed. Comm issioner
Marsden told of what had been done
in the matter of preserving the forests,
touched on numerous needs in that
line and otherwise furnished valuable
and interesting data. His report was
listened to with marked attention on
the part of the members, and at the
conclusion of his paper loud applause
was given. Lack OF space prevents
more full account of the commission
er's paper.
In commenting on the suggestions
enumerated in Commissioner Mars
denis report, Mr.. Schaefer said he felt
sure the Government took great in
terest in the matter of preserving the
forests. President Dole had inquired
into the matter when on his visit to
Hawaii. The chief executive had in
formed him that the Government was
willing to appoint a com mission to
deal with the subject. The spea ker
referred TO sections on the big island
that had been fenced and i'm improved,
much of the work having been done
Dy private Capital unless some steps
were taken in the near future, much
damage would result to several dis
tTicts on the island Of Hawaii.
Several gentlemen made remarks
touching the matter under discussion,
the consensus of opinion showing that
some action must be taken in the
premises, and that, too, as soon as
possible. President SwauZy thought
the Government made a mistake in
leasing mauka lands for raising coffee.
In order to raise coffee the growers
were compelled to clear the forests;
the timber lands were valuable to
sugar raisers as windbreaks. He
favored asking the Government to be
more careful in issuing leases for cof-
fee culture.
By request Prof. Maxwell spoke of a
recent visit made TO Hamakua. Ko-
hala and HilO districts. He was very
much surprised to find so much dead
timber rOtting on the ground: the
sight was something awful in his
estimation. Investigation proved
that the rainfall had materially de-
creased, manly on account of the for
ests being denuded; cattle had been a
chief factor in destroying both the
timber and underground. Water was
the chief fertilizer of these islands,
and unless care was taken in preserv-

After two days session the Plant
ers' Labor and Supply Company has
passed out of existence and new
name substituted, under which much
better results ale hoped for. The new
board of officers have assumed their
respective duties. Much interest was
manifested in the meeting just con-
cluded, perhaps more than on previous
occasions. The various reports read
were full of matter germane to the
cultivation and production of sugar

mounted the stand with evident re-

as to what she knew about the
matter, said "Well, ledge, Il e
