The past year at Makawcli has
been exceptionally dry and the total
deliveries of water from our two
bitches reached n mark as low as A.
million gallons per day. our cane
fields have suffered greatly for the
lack of water and we were especially
hard pressed during the summer
months. when matters were made
worse by demand for water by the
rice planters in Ilanapepe valley,
which we were Obliged to give them.
The lcaf-hopper pest did considerable
damage To some of our fields of plant
cane in the beginning of the year,
but the severity of the attack was
for short period and we have not
been bothered To any extent by this
pest since.
