the local trial farm. In the course Of
one of his reports Professor Maxwell
gave very practical illustration of
how fertilizer might be wasted, show

conditions and that all refuse be saved

'Gentlemen:-In opening this our an

again in order on the very large crop
of sugar, which has been produced on
the Islands during the last year: al
though the price realized has not been
as satisfactory as for 1896, you still
can be well satisfied with the results
obtained. / regret that, owing to
severe droughts which have been ex-
perienced during the last year in sew
eral districts, the output of sugar will

be materially reduced during the next

During the passage of the new
tariff bill in the Congress of the Unit
ed States considerable anxiety was felt
here in regard to the continuation of
the benefits now enjoyed by us under
the Reciprocity Treaty, but happily
the matter was finally settled In our
favor thus assuring to us for time at
least fair price for our principal pro-
duct. A Treaty of Annexation between
Hawaii and the United States, no doubt
a measure of considerable Importance
for our industry, is now pending and
awaiting action by the U. S. Congress
in December next.

management of the Director, DR.. Max
