EXPERIMENT STATION COMPLI-
MENTED.
The report of the committee on the
Experiment Station was a lengthy one,
the station staff being complimented
for the excellent work done and the
value of their researches to the sugar
industry The report said in conclu-
sion:
In the Experiment Station of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association,
the sugar industry of these islands has
a most valuable and Indispensable aid
and protection in the cultivation OF
cane. and the manufacture of sugar,
and your committee most strongly
urges that the fullest advantage be
taken of the aid and protection thus
afforded. The most skilled investiga-
. tors. in their respective lines, that are
obtainable are at the service OF the
plantations of the association, and we
are not overstating when we assert
that in no sugar-growing country Is
there an experiment station so well
equipped in all respects as the one you
have established.
I'm September of this year the COM
mittee of the Experiment Station was
Increased to seven members, and sub
committees thereof appointed to taks
charge Of the three divisions of the
station, with the chairman of the gen.
eral committee ex-officio a member of
each subcommittee. Regular meetings
of the committee are held and minutes
| kept 1t is believed that this method
| of conducting the affairs of the station,
by bringing more of the trustees in di-
rect connection with the work, will
awaken a greater interest and more
widespread interest in the station, and
be helpful to those who are conduct
ing the work there.
Your committee. in closing this re-
| port. wishes to express its belief that
the work Of the station during the past
year has proceeded in a most sat'sfac-
, tory manner, and that the ASSOCIATE ol
, is to be congratulated that we have
, staff of men who know the methods
and meaning of research, and who are
! broadly and thoroughly trained in the
! agricultural Investigations that we are
conducting"
