~ Kauai is the Grove Farm Plantation
near the Lihue Plantation and owned
by G. n. Wilcox
For the 1908 crop cane was taken from
619 acres, l75 of this was plant and ii4
ratoons, all Yellow Caledonia which seems
best fitted for the soil at this point
The general character of the soil Is Of a
red volcanic nature. carrying oxide of iron
while the greatest elevation that cane Is
planted Is 400 feet

not suited for cane culture have been plant.

Places which short time ago were nearly
barren are now covered with dense growth
of eucalyptus, iIOnwOOd silver oak, red gum
swamp gum trees and many other varieties
Water for irrigation purposes Is obtained
from the Huleia stream the system of irri-
CATION being entirely by gravity. Several
reservoirs have been constructed at various
parts of the plantation.
There Is no mill upon the property for the
manufacture of sugar, and for several years
the cane has been ground in the mill of the
Lihue plantation on shares, to which point
the cane is conveyed by system of rail.
roads penetrating the various cane fields.
The plantation employs 27O skilled and
unskilled laborers. There are a number Of
workanmals in use, also 500 head Of cattle
Improvements and Expansion.

l.ihue Plantation and a new addition run tn
the new lands toward the hills. A new ditch
has been dug from the Huleia stream and
will bring 500 acres more into cane cultiva-
ton when completed. The total output of
sugar for 1908 was 33ii tons.
Geo. n. Wilcox is the proprietor Of this
estate and has resided on Kauai for many
years.
T. H. w. Broadbent has been connected

additional area under cultivation
The Hawaiian Sugar Company, Limited
is the corporation title. The headquarters
are at Makawei. where the first cane was
planted. under the cooperative system IN
the '90's by the present Company.
The total area is approximately 1000 acres
held under long lease from Gay & Robinson
and extending from Waimea gulch to Hama
pepe valley, distance of several miles.
Practically the entire area is under cult.
walton, and planted principally to the Lahai
ma cane, although a small area Is given over
to Caledonia, Striped Singapore and Rose
Bamboo canes. About i0% Is plant and 60
rattoons.
The land has a gentle slope from the sea
the soil being reddish loan, carrying
pyroxide of iron. Soil Is prepared for plant.
ing by three sets of Fowler steam tackle.
Cultivation is by fertilizer and irrigation.
The water supply for irrigation purposes
is obtained from the Olokele and Hanapepe
valley streams, the water flowing to all of
the lands by gravity.
Work upon the Olokele ditch, which Is the
largest engineering scheme Of the kind ever
undertaken In the Islands. was begun for
the Hawaiian Sugar Company by NJ. NJ.
O'Shaughnessy and his assistants, Mr.. Nc
Lehman, II. c. Smaley and Guy +. Rankin,
In 1902 and was completed In 1904
The ditch is about fourteen miles long
and traverses a rough mountainous rocky
and picturesque country overlooking the
beautiful Olokele stream. which winds along
over its rugged and rocky course many hun.
dreds OF feet below. Several lives We're
sacrificed before the task was completed
Olokele stream Is a branch of the Maka.
well stream, which is a tributary of the Wal.
mea river. The head of the ditch Is located
far In the mountains where a small dam of
rocks has been built causing nearly all Of
the Olokele stream to turn from its course
and flow through four iron.grated intake
tunnels into the main ditch which conveys
this large stream of water through several
miles of rocky tunnels out into an open
country where the altitude Is about 1000
feet, thus allowing the water to be taken by
numerous branch bitches to every portion
of the plantation The capacity of Olokele
ditch Is 60,O00,O00 gallons in twenty.four
hours. During September, 1908, the ditch
was supplying the plantation with a., 900, 900
gallons per day while the Hanapepe stream
was furnishing $4,000 600 for the same
length Of time.
Olokele ditch cost s35O,OOO. Since its
completion by planting 200O acres of new
lands to cane and increasing the output of
the old lands, the Hawaiian Sugar property
has become the banner plantation of Kauai.
MAXWELL Is a thriving place and the chill
dren Of the laborers go to the public
schools. The land being all leased, no home
steads can be established.
Cane Is fumed to the mill or onto cars
from the high lands and carried by railroad
from the lower fields. The railway system
Is most complete; there are thlrty,fve miles
of main and portable tracks, GOO cane cars
with capacity of from 3ls to tons of cane
and four Baldwin locomotives.

floor. that this contest had nothing 10
do With the constitution but came only

speaker in the fight.
The house committee on general tax
