the returns from the crops at 10000.
The actual yield was 80 1872, which, how
ever, included the Apokaa sugar, max
ing the estimate not far wrong.
Waimanalo was another Oahuan plan
tation to go generously above the esti-
mates, yielding 1914 tons in contrast
to the $500 at which the crop was first
estimated to be good for. Reports from
the plantation indicate that the crop
next year will possibly be in the neigh
borhood of 1000.
) Kahuku estimates placed the crop Of
: the northernmost plantation on the is
land as being less than 5000 tons, the
actual returns being $3.50. The Laie
crop, which was ground at the Kahuku
MILL yielded 1170 tons.
i Walalua was one Of the plantations
) to fall below the original estimates, the
crop returning 30,s69 tons instead Of
; the 81 800 it was first supposed capa-
) BILE of yielding. Less than a thousand
tons, however. marked the difference
between the Oahu estimates and the
Oahu yield, 1926 being the exact
amount and 10000 the estimate.
Maui.
The Maui plantations, with possibly
one exception, have all exceeded the
first estimates and hold forth increased
promise for the 1911 crop.
The Hawaiian Agricultural Company
yield will probably figure at $500 tons,
the final returns not being procurable.
The original estimates were but frac
ton above this. From the data on hand
it is impossible to estimate the pros
poets Of the coming season.

yield being sos in contrast to the
expected $4,000. The yield was deriv
ed from 64sS acres.
) The Pioneer Mil estimates figured
crop Of more than 25,500, the actual re-
suits being considerable above. The
crop taken from 34OO acres, resulted in
81 ,29S tons. the 1911 prospects being
exceptionally good. great many i'm
provements have been made in the
buildings during the year.

, Honokaa
Honokaa took off cane from 354O
acres producing 1850 tons Of sugar,
about seventy acres being taken over
until next year. This crop suffered
very much from the drought of 1909
while the juice from the high land cane
was exceedingly poor, 1T taking eleven
tons of cane to make one ton of sugar.
The prospects for the 1911 crop look
very good indeed, with about 2S75 tons
: 10 harvest. part of which has been irri-
gated. No official estimate of the crop
has been made.
With the exception of reservoirs
which will be built wherever possible to
store water from the upper and lower
bitches, no improvements are either
needed or contemplated.
The original estimate for the 1910
crop was II 900 tons and there is
probable connection between
this unusual discrepancy and the rumor
that Manager Gjerdrum is about to
be succeeded by another, probably Mr..
Morrison. The condition of the plan
tation is better than ever from all re-
ports. the manager being said to have

cane on the high lands.
Pacific Sugar Mill.
The Pacific Sugar Mill harvested
5055 tons of sugar from 201S acres.
This crops was badly hit by the drought
of last year, the actual return coming
but fraction beneath the first esti-
mates.
There is 2279 acres to be harvested
- of, ta
| having been made vet by the manager.
Part of the cane has been irrigated by
the water from the lower Hamakua
| Ditch
The plantation is in good physical
condition and except for two lines of
portable fume no improvements are
contemplated
Other Hawaiian Crops.
The total crop of the island of Ha
wall will probably exceed the total esti-
mate, A majority of the plantations
show crops in excess of expectation
! though in no case do the figures vary
much.
| The Honomu Sugar Company harvest
/ ed 654O tons. expecting $500. Seven
! thousand tons has been set as the
! figure for the coming year.
! Onomea s crop resulted in 1888 tons
! in contrast to the II 900 tons which con-
! stituted the first estimate. The crop
| for 1911, according to the latest esti-
mates, is expected to yield $4,000 tons
Olowalu drops slightly behind its
| estimate. harvesting 1896 tons, 1900
representing the estimate. The 1911
| crop is set at possible 100 tons.
| Koloa is several hundred tons above
! the estimate, 1905 being the actual
| yield. This is the largest crop ever
| harvested from the Koloa land and the
! crop for 1911 is said to be able to ex-
| coed this figure.
The first estimates for Pepeekeo were
| 7431 tons which, however, kept dwin-
! ding until the final reports showed
! 1850 tons TO he the complete returns.
The estimate for 1911 is 1000.
