The charman-These papers are for discussion if
ANYBODY desires to say anything in the matter.
Mr. Renton-I move that the report be accepted

fly it by the usual sign.
understand then that there discussion on this report
Mr. H P Baldwin, think would be better in discussing
these matters to have the printed and before
The Chairman-Has any gentleman got anything to say
the subject of fertilization? If then will call upon
Mr. Renton the chairman OF the Hauling and Transportation
OF Cane committee to present his report.
Mr. Badwin-There great many valuable points
Mr. report which did not catch altogether
am sorry Mr. tckart did not have his report printed be-
forehand that could have the chairs here it
would make it easier for discussion
There is question would like ask in regard the
matter and that how of the planters fertize with
been given pretty much 1t certainly has been given
the Island of Maui think that the has
enough really take the fertzng materials
the ground with the seed and that where rrgate that
certainly part OF the fertilizer carried off in the be-
fore the is condition to take 1t certainly is
up any the fertzng qualities
the fertilizer the start and would be several weeks be-
fore it would have roots to take the fertilizer
/ like how many doing that. The condi-
each Island differ great deaf in regard cultivation
generally adopted different times for putting the
fertilizer than adopted where they do Tigae like
Hawaii All that has to be borne in mind
Mr.. NORM reply to Mr.. Baldwin, Mr.. President would
say Onomea ertize along with the seed invariably
with putting about pounds OF tankage to the acre
carrying about per of organic ammonia prn

fertzng with the seed and not fertzing In the
end there left possibly six field and
another field and possibly another and
put the seed in with the fertilizer and today the that
cane ferlized, that is, which did the
ankage along with the seed which fertized with the high
old and today the difference is
cepble that you it driving along the road there
fertilzing here years ago tried
nitrate plant cane that such as fertlzng IN
April what have planted this year with
plication of about 200 pounds to the acre.
Mr. Baldwn-I1ow old would that be?
Mr. Mor-About year old 1t had received all this tank
age and the high grade that
simply gave it this dose give it little and the
suits that this last several places nitrate
So acre. 81 nitrate %
A. There places there and all it had
hundred pounds of nitrate of soda
Mr. Smith, would like to make the suggestion that
planter speaks Of his experiences that he state whether
his plantation irrigated plantation whether it de-
ponds rainfall OF course we all know that but the
record would show it without its being stated.
Mor-I think that it would not be state
is a rainfall plantation.
Mr. Card think that it would be well to do so for record
purposes the senographer does not know it.
Mr. Moir-I thought that he knew that rainfall
plantation.
Mr.. Giffard-But he is not kamaaina.
Moir-Ours is just natural rainfall.
Mr. Baldwin-We plow into the land Darnyard material
stables and ashes and that sort OF thing We pow
