their advertising. Every case IL not

WHEN MAUI WAS
A WHEAT PRODUCER
The Island Once a Large Ex-
porter Of CEREALS and
Flour.

1t will perhaps be news to some of
the newcomers on Maui to know that
this island was a large wheat producer
and wheat and -four exporter fifty years
lago.
Prior to and at the time of the dis
covery of gold in California, a large
area of the Makawao and Kula districts
was devoted to the raising of wheat
and potatoes.
The discovery OF gold in California
greatly stimulated this industry, and
many Hawaiians from Wailuku and
other portions OF Maui moved to Mdka
wac and Kula and engaged in the rails
ing of wheat and potatoes for the Cali
fornia market
The labor of harvesting the wheat
crops at that time was crudely per-
formed, old fashioned sickles such as
Father Time Is represented as carrying
being the first means of cutting the
grain. These gave way to the five fin
gered cradle of our fathers, and later
reapers and self binders We're intro
duced. Some of the wheat was shipped
direct to California, but much of it
was ground and shipped as -four.
| At that time there We're two -four
mills in Waikiki, one of which stood
just mauka OF the present Maui Soda &.
Ice Co.'S works on the road to Kahului,
where afterwards the Hawaiian Fruit
& Taro Co. had its works established,
and the other, a much larger one, stood
on the street leading from High street
to Manager Wells residence about half
way. Both of these We're water power
mills and turned out large quantities OF
first class -four. There We're two large
stores and warehouses at kahului and
one at Kalepolepo, beyond Kihei. the
latter of which is still standing
| From 1850 to 1860 there was a heavy
demand for Maui -four and potatoes
to see at times eight or ten vessels
lying in Kahului harbor waiting to load
for the coast. Those We're flush times
on Maui and everybody was making
money. Flour brought a big price and
potatoes sold for IS per barrel Wagons
We're scarce and the natives made truck
carts, with solid wheels, tired with
bands Of iron. AT harvest time the
produce was hauled To Kahului in long
strings of these carts, to each of which
two or three Jokes of oxen We're hitch
ed. The father of the family drove the
head team, the mother drove the next
one, and the boys and girls OF the
| family followed each driving a cart
loaded with wheat or potatoes.
These We're readily sold for cash, and
paid for principally in California
"slugs" of gold, coined gold being
scarce, These Hawaiian farmers were
reckless in their expenditures, and
bought the best that the stores had in
stock. Among these purchases. a silk
dress for the mother Of the family was
Indispensable, and more often than not,
she wore II the next time she drove
truck load of produce TO the Ka-
hului market.
The great enemy of the wheat in
those days was the army worm. but
the natives made so close study of
, the habits of this pest that they could
generally manage TO plant so that the
wheat would be beyond danger of the
pest planting just after one raid and
before a second raid could be inaugural
I, ed by the worm. Where this precaution
was not observed. whole fields Of wheat
