in which planted my seed. took great pains with
mine and felt it would be the best About time for
the seeds to up house sold and had to

The refuse which remains when the
sugar-making process is completed is
returned to the land as fertilizer. The
economics effected in fuel and in fer
tilizer, together with the freight saved
on impurities carried in the raw sugar,
amount to a considerable sum and to
this extent increase the, profit of the
business.
While at the sugar plantation we
were shown an immense pumping plant
used in the irrigation. of the land. The
water is drawn from artesian wells and
forced to height of almost 900 feet,
in some places, and; from the SUBMITS
Of. the hills is carried to all parts Of
the plantation. Some idea Of the size
Of the plants can be- gathered from the
fact that the pumps used on this plan
tation have a combined capacity of
6o,o0o,ooo gallons per day. ~ b..
Precipitation Peculiarities. -
. Speaking Of irrigation, I am remind.
ed that the rainfall varies greatly in
different parts Of the island. At
Honolulu, for instance, it is something
like thirty inches per year, while at
one point within five miles Of the city
the annual rainfall sometimes reaches
| 40 inches.
The sugar plantation visited, while
one Of the largest, is only one of 6
number Of plantations, the total sugar
