CONDITIONS,


er and crops throughout the Territory
for the week ending August 5. as fol-
lows:
The weather has continued steadily
warm during the past week, with
moderate trade winds. In Hawaii, the
rainfall has been quite heavy In the
Hilo and Kona districts, and moderate
rains have occurred in all other sec
lions OF the island except Kau. In
Maui, the precipitation has been heavy
in The mountains and exceptionally so
over the windward slope OF Haleakala.
while the lower levels to leeward have
continued dry. Heavy showers have
also occurred over windward oahu. and
moderate showers In eastern and north
ern Kauai
Growing cane made good progress
during the week under the generally
favorable weather conditions. In the
Hilo district OF Hawaii, upper cane
lands were too wet for cultivation, and
conditions were rather too moist for
lyoung cane although highly beneficial
for 1906 crop cane: weeds also grew
rapidly. The condition of cane In the
north Kohala district of Hawaii and
the Kipahulu district Of Maui was
much improved by the more favorable
weather. although more rain would
still be welcome in the former section.
In portions OF the Kau district Of Ha-
wall high trade winds had drying
effect. In Maui, there was consid-
cradle increase In the supply Of water
in the plantation bitches, permitting
the almost entire suspension OF pump
ing. Leafhoppers are causing damage
In northern Kauai. Pineapples con-
tinue to ripen rapidly in all sections.
The transplanting of rice continues,
and the patches already set out are
In good condition. Coffee is ripening
In all sections, and picking has begun
In Kona, Hawaii. Pastures In most
leeward sections need rain badly, but
those in the lower levels Of Kona, Ha-
wall, have improved greatly during the
past week.
A sharp earthquake shock was felt
In Kona, Hawaii. about $3.50 p. m. OF
the End instant.
