The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-01-01

About the year 1898 the commissioner
of agriculture and forestry imported
some 10000 sisal plants from Florida.
The favorable results of experimental
work with them developed in the for
nation of the Hawaiian Fibre Com
pany (Limited). This company leased
land from the Oahu Railway and Land
Company, situated On the coral plain
between Pearl Lochs and the Waianae
Mountains, in the Eva district, where
plants were set out on a commercial
basis. The barren, thin soil of this To-
cality has been shown to be just what
is needed for sisaI, and comparative
tests made by the Tubbs Cordage Com
pany, of San Francisco, have proven
the Hawaiian sisaI to be superior to the
best Yucatan.
When first started the Hawaiian
Fibre Company represented an invest
ment of about S37. 1000. but later, owing
to the success of the enterprise, the
superior quality of the fibre, and high
price it commanded, the company in
erased its capitalization to $4,000.
At the present time there are about
Use acres of land in sisal and it is ex-
pected that the area of the plantation
will shortly be considerably Increased,
If not doubled. Sisal is of slow growth,
requiring four years before the first
crop natures.
The possibilities for Hawaii in sisal
cultivation are shown by the number
of plantations started on the various
islands. The most promising localities
for the growth Of sisal have beer. found
to be the comparatively barren, dry
soils of the leeward coasts. From the
nature of the sisal plant, requiring but
little moisture and little, cultivation,
there are hundreds, probably thousands,
of acres of land with thin, stony soil.
not suited for sugar cane which can.
be utilized for sisal cultivation. One
of the largest plants tons started on
the other islands is the Knudsen plan
tation on Kauai. On Molokai and Maui
considerable time and money have been
spent in the introduction and cultiva-
ton of sisaI. On Hawaii plantations
have been started in the districts of
Kona and Olaa, where the Industry has
become of considerable Importance.
From the success Of the Hawaiian
Fibre Company and the condition of the
industry on the other islands, it is safe
to predict that the future Of sisa1 IN
the Territory is now assured. AS the
islands have such large areas. at pres
ent mostly uncuitfvated, where the soil
and climate are well adapted to its
growth, and as it requires SO little ex-
penditure in cultivation and cleaning.
owing to the superiority of the fibre
over al others, except perhaps the Ma
Mia hbre, and the greater and greater
demand for binding Irvine and cordaee.
the industry Will be, as it now is. a
profitable one, and the time is antic:-
pated when sisal fibre will De one OF
the staple products of the Territory.
