this place at that time went to Van

or the laborers who arrived from
Europe in 1907 this plantation has:
Portuguese, 62 men with As women
and 119 children; Spaniards, "a men
with 20 women and 62 children. To-
tails: men. Sc; women, Gj; children,
1871. f.....
These people have settled down
here in apparent contentment and
are proving good workmen.
As far as 1905 is concerned there
does not appear to be any reason to
expect any immediate shortage in our
supply.
Crop Of 1907
This consisted of 371S.7l acres, de-
tails of which are as follows: 1868
acres plant cane, 16O6.S2 acres long
first ratoons, 1920 acres long sec
ond ratoons, 532.11 acres long third
ratoons, 1896 acres long fourth ra-
toons. 461.S9 acres short ratoons;
S71S.71 acres total, which yielded
32,020.16 tons commercial sugar, or
| ,020.16 tons over the estimate. of
81 900 tons given In last annual re-
port
In addition to this there were
ground sail acres of Apokaa Sugar
Company cane, which produced 461.-
45 tons, thus making total of 49,
iS1.61 tons manufactured at the
EVA Mill for the year.
Crop Of 1908
The area of this is: G47.36 acres
plane cane, 592.72 acres long first
ratoons, 1880 acres long second ra-
toons, 942.S0 acres long third RAJ
toons, 770.69 acres long fourth ra-
toons, 103.01 acres long fifth ratoons,
i31.67 acres short ratoons; total, 81
72775 acres EVA Plantation Co. /;
$40 acres to be milled for Apokaa
Sugar Co.; grand total 3S22.45 acres.
Grinding OF this crop was begun
on December 11th last. There have
been no delays since the start from
bad weather. Up to time of writing
there have been manufactured 5000
tons sugar against 5000 tons at even
date last year, and the suCrose con-
tent of canes has so far averaged
Lac per cent higher.
The cane as a whole is looking very
we'll. That which has been harvest
ed has yielded fully up to expecta-
placing the estimate for 1908 at 81
$50 tons.
Crop of 1909
This will be from 5i342 acres
plant cane, 2700.47 acres long ra.
toon cane, 423.77 acres short ration
cane Approximately 3G67.66 acre;
total exclusive of Apokaa Sugar
Co..
These canes are all well ahead ant
in fine condition. II is, of course
premature to make an estimate; but
with ordinary conditions, there ap
pears to be no good reason to expec
anything less than $1,000 tons.
General
Under this head there is not mucl
to state. So far one thing at leas
ma been demonstrated by the Planta
tion Experiment Station which is
that for this place none Of the nu
merous cane varieties tested cal
equal Lahaina. The Yellow Caledo
MIA variety is a fair second. As ia
rs can at present be seen, any i'm
provement over Lahaina will have l.
come from seedlings grown in thi
Territory. ..
The general condition of the plan
tation Is excellent and every porto
of its equipment is kept in first
class order and efficiency.
Dividends for 1907 have been goot
The financial condition of the plan
, tation Is good. The crop for 100
should about equal that of 1907, an
it is well under way with 5000 ton
sugar shipped to market at date {
r writing. II is not necessary to sd
, more.
, The old board of officers Of the con
, pany was reelected with the additio
Of j. J. Garden and w. l. Hopper WI
were made directors.
