also ground at the Eva Mill, for &C.
count of ApOkaa Sugar Co, "a crop OF
1871 acres, which produced 9Si.2l
tons. thus making total output of
3i,75i.23i tons sugar manufactured In
1908. SucrOse in cane stood higher
than in 1907, so also did the purity of
Juice extracted.
Crop of 19O9.-Thc areas to be
millcd this year are as follows: 5i2.Ol
rcrcs plant cane, i93 10 acres long list

2lj.5i acres long Bird ratoons. 55O.34

Total, 3722.ii acres. There will also

,cres cane.
While the sucrOsc In cane and pur.
ity of juice from fields ground to date
are fully as high as last years, the
cane Is not, owing to the lower TEN.
pcrature of 1908, as heavy In growth.
II IL, therefore, not expected that the
crop Of 1909 will be as large as that
If 1908, and the estimate for this year
Is placed at 10000 tons. Grinding was
begun on December 10th last and.
at present writing. there have been
manufactured $3.50 tons sugar.
Crop of l9lO-This will consist of
llS2.S5 acres plant cane, 4Si7i acres
long LIST ratoons, 4S2.S4 acres long End
iatoons. 29i.2i acres long third ra.

rcres short ratOons (approxlmatc)
Total, 36S4.96 acres. together with 94.7O
acres from ApOkaa Sugar Co
1t is probable that there will be
more Short Ratoons than the amount
given above. II is also probable that
the area of Plant may be increased by
Lew land at WaimanalO, of which SO
acres have been planted. 1t has not
yet been decided whether this will he
carried over to the Crop of 1911 or
ground in 1910.
Taking II all around. the cane for
next year looks very promising indeed
The planting was completed much
earlier than usual and the fields cover
some of the best lands on the planta.
ton. In addition to these advantages,
the increased water supply developed
during 1908, should add materially to
Its yield and Il good output Is antic.

Mill-crop 1908.
Grinding season was commenced on
December 18th, 1907, and completed
on August 3lst, 1908. For reasons be.
fore given, less quantity of cane was
required to produce ton of sugar
than in the previous year and losses
in manufacture Q2L were cores.
pOndingly less.
Labor.
There were no labor troubles during
the year and the supply was better
than for number Of previous years.
This enabled the plantation to harvest
It's crop In good season and finish its
PLANTING Of much larger area earlier
than usual.
Permanent Improvements.
The prices realized for sugar, which
prevail during the greater portion of
the GEAR, caused the management to
devote some Of the profits to improve
mcnts. There was accordingly OK.
pended on this account the sum of
$l65,5S72l. or this, the largest ex.
ponditures were for the DEVELOPMENT
of water and clearing of land ON the
Waimanalo section of the plantation.

for this extra amount Is that for the
