GENERAL SUMMARY.
While rather heavy showers occur
red early in the week in windward and
southern Hawaii, windward Maui and
Nindward Kauai, the latter portion %
he week was marked by settled wealth
mr. and conditions generally favorable
FOR agricultural interests in nearly all
sections of the group, although rather |
rather cool nights were generally re- |
ported.
The advent Of drier weather in wind |
ward districts has permitted the re-
in force of wedding and cut
tivation and young cane is generally re-
ported as in good condition and maxi
ing fair growth for this season of the
year. Cane in the Kau district OF Ha
vail has been greatly benefited by the
recent rains in that section, but Its
condition would now be materially i'm.
proved by more sunshine. 1906 cane
is maturing rapidly, and grinding has
begun at Puunene, Maui. Plantation
in Kauai and central Maui report q
satisfactory supply of water for irriga.
ton purposes. Young pineapple plants
are in good condition, and the wintei
crop Is now ripening in all sections
Rice in the Hanalei district of Kauai
which was damaged by recent high
winds and heavy rains is now being
harvested; the injury is not so great
as was previously reported. Coffee
picking continues in all sections, and
is about completed in portions of 10
ma Hawaii, where fair crop has been
secured Pastures generally are in
good condition except in leeward Maui
and the lower levels of Kona, Hawaii
A sharp earthquake shock was fel,
at Kealakekua, Hawaii, at 1850 a. IN.
