total number of tons of sugar produced
for the year reported to the Expert
iment Station and the amount as shown
by the report herewith submitted.
This may be accounted for by the fact
that the plantations in reporting their
tonnage to the Experiment Station re-
port the total amount produced for
the crop, while in reporting for the
secretary OF the Association they re-
port the amount produced for the year
ending September 80, 1907.
The labor committee will report the
efforts to obtain laborers from the
Azores and Madeira and from Spain
A total number of 2430 Portuguese
men. women and children arrived and
22i6 Spaniards: besides these Sc men.
women and children came from the
Philippines.
The introduction of European labor
ers has been interrupted as a result of
certain provisions of the immigration
laws which have been construed to pre-
vent even a state or territorial govern
ment from assisting the immigration
of such laborers. excepting with legis-
lative appropriations
ers' Association was made in March.
1882. under the name of the Planters
Labor and Supply Company, which
name was later changed to the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association. !
The benefits which have resulted from
and concerted effort are
manifest to all.
A review of the work of the or
ganization during the past twenty-five |
years would be of much interest, but |
il would exceed the limits of this re-
port. The period has been one of great |
moment in the history of these Is
lands, and the Industrial and financial
development has been mainly the re-
suit of the progress made in the sugar
industry.
1t is to be hoped that, with the
development of other agricultural in
dustries and enterprises and the
growth of commerce in this ocean, the !
next twenty-five years will show even
greater progress.
