For the Week Ending April z2. 1905
GENERAL SUMMARY


and agricultural operations I'm nearly
all portions of the group. Tempera-
lures have ranged slightly above the
seasonable normal moderate trade
winds have prevailed. and light show
ers have fallen at intervals ia most
sections.
Young cane has, on the whole. made
very satisfactory growth, although still
suffering somewhat from the effects of
the drought i'm the Kau district of Ha-
wall and portions of Kauai I'm most
localities the showers have been sutit-
cient to keep the soil i'm good condition
and afford an adequate supply of water
for irrigation purposes without inter-
ferng with field operations I'm the
plantations and the harvesting and
planting of cane have therefore pro-
ceeded rapidly. Pastures have I'M
proved materially, except i'm certain
leeward sections where more RAIN
would be beneficial. Pineapple plants
are growing nicely, and the condition
of coffee trees i'm all sections has been
much improved by by the recent show
ers. Early vegetables are coming in
to market i'm very satisfactory guam
titles. and the favorable weather for
planting is being taken advantage Of
by truck growers generally. Growing
rice continues in good condition. The
cutting and milling Of sisal i'm the Eva
district of Oahu began last week
