so utterly unreasonable, as well as be-
ing obviously the work of agitators in
their presentation, that the planters
had no other possible course than to
resist, and / am glad to state that the
losses incurred by he srike are not
such as would cause regret for the
course taken. One result of the strike
has been a reduction in the number of
our Japanese laborers by about twenty
per cent, their places having been filed
with laborers of other nationalities.

In his report, submitted at the an.
nualnmeeting of the stockholders of
the Hawaiian Sugar Company yester-
day, Manager B. D. Baldwin says:
81 For the most part the year just
past has been fairly good for grow
| ing crops, but not as favorable as 1908.
Water conditions, with the exception
of a. few short periods, have been good
and our supply at Makaweli has been
quite sufficient for our cane fields. The
| temperature on the other hand has been
| lower than the previous year, which
has had some influence on the length
of the sticks of cane, as the cane gen
orally on this plantation is not as long
as it was in 1908, still we have fairly
good stand of cane in most of our
! fields, which | hope will make up to
some extent for the deficiency in
length.
Beafhoppers have done no harm for
some time back on this plantation, but
they are forever present in small mum.
/ bcrs and if given the least chance would
soon increase as they did a few years
ago,-so we are still taking the precau.
tion to have an abundance of parasites
and spiders in our canefelds which are
the two most effective enemies against
this pest.
1909 Crop.
GAS stated in my annual report for
4 1908, | submitted n conservative esti
mate of this crop of 24,027.S14 tons of
sugar including the Gay & Robinson
sugars. The crop has actually yielded
27,l51 tons of sugar. The Gay & Rob-
inson fields as well as our own gave
remarkably good yields and the juice
during the entire grinding season stood
higher in sucrose and purity than
have ever seen it here at Makaweli
and the increase in yield of most all
the fields harvested for this crop was
due to some extent to the high quality
of the juice
The total of 27,151.9725 tons of sugar
turned out by the Hawaiian Sugar Com
includes that taken from the cane grown
by Gay & Robinson, was produced from
total area of 1895 acres. The aver
age yield per acre was 6796 tons OF
sugar and 1t took an average of 6.SSs
tons of cane to make a ton of com
rmercial sugar. In referring to the 100!
crop Manager Baldwin says in his re
port:
"This crop is record.breaker fol
Makaweli and II is certainly pleasing
aud gratifying TO all concerned to hav'
the final results turn out so satisfac
torly and to know that the fnancia
standing of the plantation il BETTE
than it was last year"
