Eva mill is working out another puz-
zle in sugar extraction, the solution of
which will no doubt become common
property at the next annual convention
of the planters. Last year Thos.
o 'Dowda, Eva s sugar boiler, got the
sugar in the mud down very low and
those interested Were kept guessing
that is, excepting some Maui millers
who had got and adopted the secret
from Ewa-until Manager Renton ex-
planned the systems at the meeting OF
the Association. FITS beauty was its
simplicity, ~as~ft required no addition to
the plant. Now all the mills in the
islands have adopted it, saving close to
100000 year. This year they are
getting an extraordinarily high extrac-
ton at Ewa-close to 81 per cent. Eva
is only nine-roller mill while there
are others with twelve rollers not get
ting within one per cent. of Eva s ex-
traction Of course there is a cause
for it, which other mills will no doubt |
in time discover. j
