OVER A MILLION
CONTINUED from Pnge y

an interesting account OF the status .
of the plantation, and shows net prof
its derived from the sale of sugar .
to over a million dollars. !
Excerpts of the report follow:
As far as our water supply IL con- 7.
cerned, the year 1907 has been IN /
unusually good one. in that the rain |
fall has been well distributed in fair T.
amounts in the right localities. At !
no time during the season did tie
fields suffer from lack of water. The
temperature averaged about two de-
erccs lower than during the previous
year, which was the only drawback
that the growing crops had.
Crop of i9OS.-Milling for this
crop started on November gGth. 1907,
and so far we have had very fair
juices, and have prospects for a good
average for the season.
the weather has been most ideal
70: harvesting, and we have baggci
1857 tons of sugar, as against H.
2S7 tons OF sugar at even date fer
the crop of 1906.
As this crop has practically sur-
ferci no drawbacks. It should yield
from 5,Gt3.S2 acres, about 1880
tons Of sugar.
Crop of 10O9.-Plantlng was COM
menCod for the crop OF 1909, March
18th, 1901 and was finished on Au-
gust 2Sth, which Is about three
weeks earlier than we finished plant
ing the crop of 1908. This certainly
* new record for the II. c. & S. Co.
in early planting.
The total area, plant and rat
toons, for the crop OF 1909, Is j,G2S.-
20 acres. About 1900 acres were
planted from top seed
The rattoons were hilled-up IN
good time and are certainly making
a fine showing.
with early planting and with tho
good start that the rattOOns have got
ten, this crop certainly has a good
outlook, and unless something un-
roresoen happens. should yield as well
is the crop Of 1908.
Crop of 191O.-Thc only work thus
far done on this crop Is steam plow-
inE. The steam plows are well
ahead this year.
The area OF this crop will be about
500 acres.
Sugar Factory.-Tho mills were
driven harder than ever during 1907,
grinding an average of 93.13 tons OF
cane per hour, as against 90 tons per
hour for the previous year. The av-
cruge extraction obtained was lit.
tie higher than for the crop of 1906,
The consumption of auxiliary fue
during 1907 was very much less than
for 1906 and we hope to decrease
this expense still more during the
present season.
New Waihee Ditch.-The watc.
WIS turned into the new Waiher
ditch on May 18th, 1907, and, al
though there were the usual trou
Bios that have to be contended will
IN running water in a new ditch
still. after the first month, the ditc!
has been running smoothly, and tn,
II. c. { S. Co. has gotten a good sup
ply OF waite: through this ditch, AM
at times surplus water through thu
old Waihce ditch.
Contemplated Imp Ovemeuts.-Th
contemplated improvements for 1879
will not be very heavy.
\ new store Eat Kahului will b
built, which will be devoted exclu
siycly to retail business.
The capacity of the sugar ware
mouse at Puunene mill will be in
creased by extending the warehouse
1 The Wailuhu Sugar Coz and II. {
/ & S. Co. in conjunction, are develop
4 ing water in tho Waihce valley.
1t will be necessary to purchaa
] two large lathes, rs well as som
smaller tools for our machine shop.
There will be considerable build
ing to be done, just how much it
impossible to say at present.
LabOr.-The labor supply Is suiii
Client at present. The Portuguese Ia
i borers from the Azores and Nader
Islands have proved a great success
twenty-seven out of these familiC
4 have taken acre-lots under home
y stead agreements, and seem TO Il
well contented.
