SUG AR PRODUCTION.

In yesterdays issue an official
comparative statement of the last
two sugar crops was given which
was prepared by Professor Max
well, conductor of the Experiment
Station Of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Assoc jation. 1t showed
the handsome increase Of nearly
$4,000 tons of sugar from less
than $4,000 acres under cultiva.
ton. There was also shown the
gratifying increase of 1916 lbs. of
sugar to the acre cultivated. Had
the production to the acre been
the same for the last crop as the
previous one, the increase in total
yield would have been but about
$1,000 tons instead of $4,000 in
round numbers. This represGn-
tation proves that the plan
ters and millers had a respect
able undeve!oped margin form
erly, in methods of cultivation
and manufacture, to operate
upon as an Offset to possibly
dropping markets or adverse leg
islation in the United States.
None knew the existence Of this
margin better than the sugar pro
ducars, who for many years had
been toiling il the school of ex
perience-at the same time utiliz

on one description of SOIL and lii
one set of climatic or rather mete-
geological conditions - topogra-
phical features of lands being al
so a differential factor in creating
examples-did not prove to fit the
case Of every plantation in CORES
ponding questions of soil, meteo
rology and topography. 1t was
decidedly advanced step that was
taken therefore, in the line OF
m utual seIf-help, when the plant,
ers' organization resolved to es-
tablish one central station FOR
the determination, by scientific
appliances and methods, under
competently skilled direction, all
the varied questions of agricultu
raj and manufacturing modes of
operation. The Experiment Sta
ton seems to have proved the
most profitable object OF mutual
! Investment the sugar planters OF
Hawaii have ever agreed upon,
aud the scientific gentleman
placed at its head rs happy n
selection for the position as could
have been made. AT least
that is the judgment to be
formed upon results thus far
achieved. Many people may
open their eyes in wonder, In
view of popular talk, at the small
average of little more than four
tons of sugar to the acre. When
it is known that some OF the virgin
soil cultivated hos yielded eight
and nine tons, the fact that the
average all over is only one half
such results would indicate that
the Hawaiian sugar industry is
the very contrary Of being debili-
tated. 1t has prospered, on the
whole, at this low average, and the
prospects, are for great gain
8 Ill in average production
Throughout the greater part
of the area it occupies it must
have a vitality capable of with
standing more unfavorsble exper-
fences and severe shocks than it
has ever yet sustained. Even the
national bugbear of contract labor
may before very long be con-
cede3 as being not indispens-
able to the life Of the chief in
dustry of the Hawaiian Islands,
From the scientific basis on which
the producers have now placed
their interest, even greater gains
than those exhibited in last crop
report may be expected. Planta-
tons and mills have in numbers
been awaiting the outcome of sue
cessful concerns in the van of
progress, aud, with the results be
fore the eyes Of their owners
which cannot be gainsaid, those
waiting ones will now adopt the
most improved methods in every
branch of production. Next years
comparative statement may there
fore be expected to be as satisfac
tory as that just published.

which was not lnfrequent In that lawless
struggling for less than II 600 homesteads.
Among this throng were those who were
some of the old original boomers. who
knew Oklahoma as we'll as you do your
garden. When these find any "tenderfoot"
or newcomer ahead of them, they treat
him as trespasser upon their own prop
erty. One Of this class. who considered
any part of the opened territory as his

seemed quite natural in this dreadful place
to kill any one who tried to protect his
property. The child thought Of his mother
She must be safe upon her claim by this
time. Besides she was a woman, and who
would touch woman?
He drove on slowly two or three miles,
when the man in the wagon that bore the
inscription "Oklahomy or bust" rode up be-
'"They say a woman has been shot up
there" pointing to the left. "Some cuss
headed her off with his gun when she was
soin' to stake her claim. There is plenty
of fire-eaters about this day. They he'd
quite as lief plug one ez not. You had bet

With this friendly advice, the man rode
rapidly away. Where does the news of dis
aster obtain its winged feet? Bub never
stopped to wonder at the accuracy of the
statement, but turned to the left, and, with
huttering heart, urged his jaded horse to
trot. Soon he got out and led 1t, running
at Its head. He thought he saw wo-
mans dress in clump of sage bushes

pale, slight woman wounded unto death.
Bulbs heroic little soul took in the situa-
ton as far az it was able, with a manly
seif-restraint beyond his years. The sick
child had suffered SO much himself, that he
knew by instinct how not to add to the
suffering Of another. He did not cry out
or make a fuss, nor startle the mangled
woman with his grief He only put his thin
cheek down close to hers and patted her
two three times.
