| Honolulu, Il. H., Jan. 20, l9O5.
Low Temperature.
For the third consecutive week, tenn.
peratures have been decidedly below
| the normal; in fact, the present month,
so far, has been the coolest January In
the Islands during the past fifteen
years. Under such adverse tempera-
ture conditions, young cane is making
practically no growth, the winter crop
Of pineapples is ripening very slowly.
and vegetation in general is backward.
even for the winter season.
Dry Weather General.
| Except In a few favored sections Of
limited extent, dry weather has pre-
vailed throughout the group, and 10
consequence pastures and stock gen.
orally are in poor condition, streams
even In the windward districts are low.
and shortage Of water has seriously
interfered with the grinding of cane.
On the other hand, however, sunny
days have had a beneficial effect, so
far as the ripening of older cane Is
concerned. Light showers have oc.
Cured in the Kau district of Hawaii.
| hut more rain will be required before
conditions in that section can improve
materially.
' SeasonabIe Fruits.
The preparation of rice lands con-
tinues. Pineapple plants and avocado
pear trees have begun to blossom.
A fair supply of all kinds of vege.
tables and seasonable fruits is to be
found in the local markets.
