RUDDIMAN RETURNS
FROM PORTO RICO
Says That Hawaii Is Quite Good
Enough for Him.

Enough IOT E11ul.
j. NJ. Ruddiman, formerly connected
with Makaweli plantation, and for the
last four years engaged in the sugar
industry in Cuba and Porto Rico, ar
rived yesterday morning on the Ala
media. Ruddiman, who had large ex-
perienee as a sugar estate manager in
Cuba and Porto Rico, says that the
methods in vogue on those islands are
far behind those used in Hawaii. Waste
is noticeable everywhere, says he, and
no effort is made to conserve the soil,
the planters simply moving onto new
territory when the land becomes ex-
hausted. He says that the methods of
draining and irrigating are crude in
the extreme. Ruddiman says Hawaii is
good enough for him.
