Section Director A. Nice Ashley re.
ports on crops and weather as follows
Tor the week ending Saturday last:
The weather OF the past week has
teen most favorable for growing crops
and agricultural operations In nearly
all portions Of the group. Tempera.
lures have ranged slightly above the
seasonal normal. moderate trade winds
have prevailed and light showers have
fallen at intervals in most sections.
Young cane has. on the whole. made
very satisfactory growth. although still
suffering somewhat from the effects OF
the drought In the Kau district Of Ha.
wall and part of Kauai. In most local..
ties the showers have been sufficient
TO keep the soil In coed condition and
afford an adequate supply Of water for
irrigation purposes without interfer.
ing with field operations In the plan.
tations. and the harvesting and plant
ing Of cane have therefore proceeded
rapidly. Pastures have improved mate.
rally, except In certain leeward Sec
tons where more rain would be benef.
cial. Pineapple plants are growing
nicely and the condition Of coffee trees
in all sections has been much improved
by the recent showers. Early vege.
tables are coming into market in very
satisfactory quantities, and the favor.
able weather for planting is being
taken advantage Of by truck growers
generally. Growing rice continues In
good condition. The cutting and mill.
ing of sisal in the Eva district Of Oahu
began last week.
