REPORTED
REDUCED $4,000


mitted this morning by Manager
ADAMS at the annual meeting Of the
stockholders II read as follows:
CROP OF 1906: The yield of sugar
from this crop was disappointing. An
unusual expenditure for fertilizers, es-
pecially for the short rattouns, during
the previous year appeared to he I'M.
Justified by the returns In sugar A
Yield of 400 tons of sugar was expect
I'd from kahuku cane and only G7l3
Ions were received. kahukus proper
lion OF laio sugar brought the total
crop 10 7l5S tons. The cultivation OK
penses had been In proportion to the
expected yield with the reduced yield
The expenses ON the crop per ton ol
sugar produced we're considerably
greater than usual. The short rattoons
suffered from want of water owing To
the prevalence of extremely dry wealth
~ aud shortage of labor during tic
early part of the summer of 1896. The
grinding season ended on August 3lst.
CROP or l907.-This crop will b.
harvested from 2ij acres of plant cant,
SIS acres of long rattoon and 525 acres
OF short rattOOn cane. This cane SUI
Tered also because of the drought ard
the shortage of labor A yield of $500
tons sugar Is expected from this crop.
There Is much less borer than usua,
In this cane.
CROP or l9OS.--Thc area of this
crop will be 53S acres of plant cane, AS
acres of long ratoon and AS great an
area of short ratoon cane as the wealth
or will permit. Al present writing only

been started as the continued rains
have made II impossible TO burn-off the
fields altor harvesting. Short rottoons
usually have a very good groth at Ka-
huku during the summer, however. so
that with the coming of the trade winds
there Is every probability that the
usual area of short rattoons can be cul.
iivated. Short rattoons have almost
invariably cost less per ton of sugar
AT maturity than either plant cane or
long rattoons. TOp-sccd cane from
the short rattoons of the 1906 crop aud
volunteer rattOons were used for
planting. The planting was finished
about the first week In November, lat
or than IL desirable. over 500 acres of
the total plant were in cane before No
vcmbcr LIST. and 400 acres were planted
after the LIST of August Excepting the
cane planted in November all of the
plant cane is looking well. Until the
rains set In this crOD was almost en-
tlrcly free from lGaf-hOpper. Several
patches of leai-hoppcr and rust have
appeared within the past month The
rains seem To be finished so that all
the young cane will now have strength
Ia Out-grow the leaf-hopper.
IMpROVEM ENTS.-Lcss than $4,000
was expended for improvements AT the
plantation during the year. OF this
sum $4,000 was for machinery. when
did not arrive In time for installation
In 1905 but was added in January 1906.
J No improvements are contemplated for
| 1907 and none are necessary. All the
| machinery IL in excellent repair.
| Should there hs 10 accidents the ma
| chincry AT present In use should be
able To perform its work satisfactorily
and economically for several years.
! There should be no material additions
to the factory or other machinery since
all is of ample capacity for taking care

sugar was reduced over $500 during
the year.
