A NEW ROLE.

When advance
in cultivation these islands, and what terrible lot OF
takes the pioneers this industry made AS for scientific cultivation
thought OF it, Science and cultivation very wide apart
and were considered having nothing do with another The
main attribute OF the early manager the power drive
Whaling captains the OF whaling able
TONED to drive pretty hard crews so they were evidently the proper
make Of and many and many old salt quilted the
stormy main and took to cutivating the soil
One OF the many mistakes made choice Of poor locations
and several OF the old plantations had be abandoned this the
case at kaaea at kuaoa and Nuuanu valley this island Such
the Kanalu Kona Hawaii The Kaalaea plantation
owned chiefly by DR. Robert McEbbn and Tho H. Davies Kualoa
few representing the mill and the bore houses and
burrows old fields Dr. Wood memory
little plantation Nuuanu, On Maui the hourng plantation
of Upaaa has been long abandoned the Kanau plantation be-
onged to Judge HaTt but that was gwen up IN the sixties
have chemists to anze the soil and the juice that from
the soil We employ skilled ntomoogiss study pests
and find their that they may advanageous fought
and kept down Our managers through long training and
studying the aspects industry planters keep
expensive experiment stations the results from which have been
very satisfactory.
But only doing good work for ourselves, doing
good work for others The planters OF Queensland after few them
had visited the islands realized what excellent work has been done
here on this line promptly tempted Dr. Maxwell the mead OF our
pertinent station his attention their soils and methods Of
cultivation H His down there has been very great
and he has brought the Queensland planters to realize the value Of
scientific cultivation and scientific research
But Queensland the only grower of that
our methods which have been SO successfully Dr. Maxwell is
well established Queensland than Peru calls for
do similar work. For this work Mr. Sedgwk
federal experiment station He has arrived in Peru and will
work giving the Peruvian valuable illustrations Civ
since he learned all that he knows about upon the islands
several plantation chemists engineers and cuvatos have
Rico Cuba to Brazil and others Central America
This all very significant 1t remarkable progress
chief industry 1t means commanding position in chief industry
Instead Of seeking for those from abroad teach how
cultivation and manufacture OF
pie who forth and teach OF the older sugar
This has the energy of those engaged indus
Though starting from small beginnings though using first
completely inexperienced though cropping through
clumsy often costly has been steady
rapid We have fallen into ru We till fields scie
thcaly apply fertilizer soils with Judgment and employ
better machinery than probably growing country the
world In point of fact up date and that is why
geic sugar growing countries
1t extraordinary how energetic people here when
compared with growers of the West Indies There
lassiude about the charge which finds here
In this favored climate work hard he
