GENERAL SUMMARY.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
Although good showers occurred In
some localities early In the week, the
week as q whole was quite dry for this
season of the year, and was marked
by fairly warm, sunny days, very cool
nights, and occasional high winds.
While the growth of young cane has
been checked by the continued cool
weather, conditions have been quite
favorable for the ripening of 1906
cane and for field work in the planta-
tions. The harvesting aud grinding Of
mature cane have therefore proceeded
rapidly in all sections. Winter crop
pineapples. under the influence of the
sunny days, have ripened rapidly dur.
ing the week, and young pineapple
plants have grown well. Coffee trees
are generally reported as in good con
dition: the harvesting of this seasons
crop was completed at Lsupahoehoe,
Hawaii, during the week. The setting
out Of rice for the first crop of 1906
has begun In most sections, and Is al.
most completed in the Hanalei district
OF Kauai. Lowland pastures In this
section have been somewhat damaged
by salt winds from the ocean. but pas.
lures generally throughout the group
are in good condition. Grazing stock
In the upper levels is still suffering to
some extent from the continued cool
weather
