Young cane, generally, is in good
condition. and has made very satisfac-
tory progress during the week. The
grinding of matured cane and the pre-
paration of ratoons and planting for
the 1907 crop continue. The last pine
apples of the winter crop have been
harvested in central Maui, and the
summer crop is coming along nicely
i'm all sections. Rice is beginning to
blossom in Kauai and central Maui,
and is ripening in oahu. Coffee trees
are in good condition general, but high

retarded their growth somewhat in
windward sections. Pasture lands are
improving rapidly. and stock is doing
well. Corn and potatoes promise
good yield.
