Honolulu. I. H., Oct. 2, 1905.
During the past week continual
though slight fluctuations in atmos-
pheric pressure have been attended by
showery and unsettled weather In
nearly all sections Of the group. Tenn
peratures have been about normal for
this season of the year, with somewhat
cooler nights.
Growing cane has. on the whole,
made fair progress during the week,
although most windward plantations
have received rather more rain than
required. In windward Hawaii and the
windward sections OF east Maui, the
continuance of heavy showers has kept
the ground entirely too wet for salts
factory wedding, cultivating and other
field operations. On the other hand.
more rain In the Kau district would
now be beneficial, dry weather with
occasional high winds having prevail
ed since last advices. Grinding at the
Kahuku mill was finished during the
week, and planting for the 1907 cane
crop was completed In several planta-
tons. A fair supply of mountain wa
ter is available for irrigation purposes
in central Maui. Pineapple plants are
in good condition, but planting and
other field work have been interfered
with In central Maui by stormy wealth
err. Conditions during the past week
have been quite favorable for the rapid
ripening Of coffee. relatively dry wealth
er being reported in the Kona district
Of Hawaii for the first time In a num-
Der of weeks. Second crop rice Is do
ing nicely in all sections and promises
are in good condition. but grazing stock
in the Koolau district Of Maui Is SUI
fering from the effects of the con-
tinued heavy rains. In the Nahiku
section Of Maui, the weather Is report
ed as rather cool for the growth OF
rubber trees and altogether too wet for
the planting OF seed. Sisal in central
Maui is growing well, and heavy dews
have been of material benefit to vege-
tation in the Kula section.
