The 1900 acres under cultivation are
planted principally to Rose Bamboo and Vel
low Caledonia canes. There are about forty
acres of Lahaina.
The 1908 crop amounted to 5000 tons of
sugar. The estimate for 1909 is about the
same.
1908 has been an exceptionally dry year
In this vicinity, no rain to amount to any
thing has fallen In the first ten months, but
40 inches Is the average rainfall for the
year.
The elevation at which cane is planted
ranges from practically sea level to $500
feet. Cane grown near the Honuapo mill
is said to be the furthermost south of any
cane grown in the Islands At the lower
attitudes the cane natures in eighteen
months, while at the higher elevations il
requires from twenty-four to thirty months.
The soil Is broken by ordinary plows
drawn by mules and oxen. Owing to the
rolling and hilly nature of the lands they
are cultivated with considerable difficulty.
The soil is of a dark loamy character and IL
well adapted to cane. Fertilization Is re-
sorted to in order to keep the soil up to the
standard, but not very heavily.

The Mill.
There are two mills located upon the plan

roller mill with a shredder at Honuapo. The
rev Honuapo mill was erected by the Homo
lulu Iron Works in 1899 and has a capacity
of 80 tons of sugar in twenty-four hours
The HOnuapO mill embodes many of the
modern appliances in sugarmaking ma
chnery. The cane is fed direct from the
fumes on to the endless cane carrier and
thence to National shredder and then on
through the mill. Maceration is in vogue
using the condensation waters from the
effects. The mills are supplied with triple

besides the usual machinery in use in all
upto-date mills.

AS matter OF fact, there is no heat
lightning as that term is generally
used. The display referred to always
takes place wher the weather Ia
warm, but that is only because warm
weather produces thunder storms. The
so-called heat lightning is merely the
lightning OF a distant storm. We do
not hear the thunder because tho

to reach us. This term of heat light

OrjCin Of the Potato,

In consequence of the outbreak Of
the potato-disease in the 10Th century,
botanists have for years been seeking
the original wild species OF his most
useful plant. in order that, by crossing
it with the cultivated forms, fresh
vigor might be infused into the latter.
Tho search has extended over Chile,
Peru, and other parts of America, but
until recently, no success has been
promised. Mr.. Sutton Of Reading.
England, the well-known scotsman, in
whose experimental gardens a great
variety of these plants has been tried,
has now fixed upon a wild species,
the Solanum etuberosum, which has
been growing in his gardens for 20
years, as being the original wild
species. from which much may be
hoped. The Solanum etuberosum for
20 years has entirely defied the pota-
to-disease, and its offspring is identi-
cal with the commercial potato.
