North Kohala Cane Lands

Some two years ago H. r. Bryant and
J. H. Mckenzie formed a partnership for
the purpose Of engaging extensively in the
culture Of sugar cane. These gentlemen
have secured a 20-year lease on 5000 acres
Of land within the North Kohala district,
and are now planting new lands. At pres.
sent there is 220 acres in cane of the Rose
Bamboo variety, in addition to which there
is 100 acres to be planted this year. thir-
ty.four acres OF which Is under a separate
lease from private parties.
Under the existing partnership the first.
or 1901, crop has been milled at the Hawi
Mill, which aggregated 800 tons of market.
able sugar, or on an average Of three tons
OF sugar to the acre. II the weather con.
ditions had been more favorable this same
cane would have yielded FIVE tons Of sugar
to the acre instead OF three.

the general character of the soil is a yellow
and light red, carrying some iron.
The Lahaina variety Of sugar cane is
grown exclusively and is planted at eleva-
lions from 200 to 500 feet, the cane being
irrigated by supply Of water obtained
from mountain streams, which Is conveyed
to a system of reservoirs having q joint
area Of fftyeight acres, and from thence
conveyed to point of distribution through
thirty-nine miles Of a ditch system.
The average time from planting until the
cane natures is sixteen months.
The preparation of the soil for planting
is performed by the aid of two sets Of
Fowler's English plows. a system that is
In general use throughout the Islands.
For the past sixteen years the average
annual rainfall was 71.07 inches the pre-
cipitation being greater on this portion OF
the Island Of Kauai than any other section.
For transporting the cane product to the
mill, as likewise the expediting the move
ment Of lab0rers and supplies to the va
rious parts Of the estate, there has been
constructed twelve and onehalf miles Of
permanent and two and onehalf miles Of
portable tracks, which connect with the
main trackage.
This railroad system Is a 24.inch gauge
and is supplied with IFS cane cars. six sugar
cars having a capacity for carrying two and
one-half tons each, and three locomotives.

whereby the laborers are paid by the

system being dispensed with. In the culti-

Upon the plantation there is considerable
stock. which comprises 1875 horses, 80 mules
and 40 head Of cattle. which are raised
for plantation use and consumption.
Upon the plantation have been construct
ed seven and onehalf miles OF ordinary dirt

of sugar to the acre, while the average Of
all cane put through the mill Is eight tons
OF sugar to the acre. The plant cane ia
rattooned once and twice and occasionally
three times. The lowest elevation that cane
is planted Is 500 feet, and the highest 1850
feet. The soil is a dark loan, which IL
plowed and made ready for planting by the
aid Of ordinary field plows and mules. The
average rainfall on the lower part for 1885,
1899 and 1900 was "a S7-100 inches. while for
the same period at an elevation Of 1900
feet 1t was "a 77-100 inches.
For the past few years the company have
been fencing their forest lands and killing
OF the stock for the purpose of preventing
the destruction of the forests. 1t Is stated
by the management that the results OF such
work prove Of great benefit to the planta-
ton as regards the preservation Of the
water sheds The method of transporting
cane to the mill is by perfect system OF
v fumes, Of which there are fully thirty
miles, covering the various fields. Water
for fuming purposes Is oL.ained from the
mountains by driving tunnels and drifts, as
likewise the collection Of surface flows.
This supply Is then conveyed to series Of
concrete reservoirs, having q Joint capacity
for storing 100000 gallons. These reser-
voirs are connected with the various cane
fields by v fumes to be drawn upon when
needed for numing purposes.

company can always depend upon five tons

but It takes from twenty-five to thirty
months for the cane to mature, according
to the scissor, On the lowlands and up to the
S50foot level It takes from eighteen 10

Coffee Industry of the Islands of Hawaii and Oahu.
70 June soh,9o aorb9 s,s97
THE COFFEE INDUSTRY Of HAWAII

m HE coffee industry on the Isl.
VI and Of Hawaii is not, in its pres
ent status, calculated to cause
boom In the cultivation Of that
berry, as the high scale OF wages and
the low price Of coffee at the present time
do not justify its production except in
certain parts of the islands. such as in the
North Hilo, hamakua and Kona districts.
and only in these places, where the condi-
items Of soil. climate and secluded surround
ings are most favorable.
The coffee grown in the above districts
OF the Island OF Hawaii has already ob'
.aiped a permanent reputation for high
favor and specific quality, having an aroma
and marked flavor peculiarly its own. With
this delicate favor Is also associated de-
gree of mildness not obtainable In many Oh
the various kinds Of coffee usually found
uron the market. Notwithstanding the fact
that the coffee industry OF Hawaii mas re.
ceived quite setback Of late years, there
are those who are still engaged In its cul'
ture upon quite large scale who are re-
pcrted as making the industry pay an IN
terest upon the capital invested, but VINO
would be materially benefited by any m.
crease in the price OF conee above that
obtainable at the present time.
At Laupahoehoe, on the windward side OF
the Island of Hawaii. some thirty miles from
Hilo, is located the prosperous coffee plan
tation of Judge e. w. Barnard. where IS
produced an article Of coffee that would be
din cult to surpass in size and quality In the
most favored coffee districts of the world
