At the present time the capitalization
of the company is 12,500 shares of
stock with a par value of $250,000, a
small capital for company operating
on as large a scale as this. It is now
proposed to issue stock dividend to

Agricultural

The pineapple crop of Hawaii (all
Islands) for the present season is es-
timated to pack over 100000 cases, a
vast increase over the initial year of
this industry.
The pineapple men of Hawaii are
now meeting new market conditions
which have arisen since the first sea
sons, conditions partly brought about
by the panic of several years ago and
by the greatly increased production.
Lower prices are making it much
more difficult for the smaller planters
to maintain themselves by this branch
of farming. When the industry was
first commenced and Hawaii g canned

pie were getting about $27 ton for
the product, those producing from 1OC
to $50 tons being able to earn sub,
stantial living. Now, however, prices
are being quoted at 500 and as low as
$15 ton which puts a new phase on
the matter.
The larger companies are not effected
by the new conditions to an uncomfort
able degree as growing on a large scale
results in reduction of the percentage
of cost in cultivation per acre.
The Hawaiian Pineapple Compan,
expects to put up 100000 cases during
the year, more or less. 1t is packing

"Just above Goggins we visited our
sawmill, which has been put in first

Some repairs have to be made to an

mill may be run part of the next day.

BURNING AND BoRERs.
Last winter when the rolling cam
paign of 1909 was completely finished,
the Louisiana Planter gave ten per
cent. as its estimate Of the damage
done to that crop by the cane borers,
or that the lborers were responsible for
the loss of at least $4,000 short tons
of sugar in that single crop. That
estimate was regarded as rather liberal
by those interested who had suffered
the least loss from the insects. But
later the United States Department of
Agriculture gave an estimate of the
borer loss TO the Louisiana cane fields
exactly coinciding with that previously
published by this paper.
In the May monthly meeting of the
Louisiana Sugar Planters Association
Col. Richard Mccall ventilated his
views on the subject of borers. He
held that today, after nearly thirty
years study and published advice re-
garding their reduction or destruction,
from leading national and State en-
tomologists, the cane borers were worse
than they had ever been, and so bad
last year that, with continued increase
in this pest, many planters in Louisiana
would be compelled to abandon sugar
production.
In his brief address he stated that
he had faithfully followed the advice
repeatedly published by the State and
national entomologists, who had devot-
ed so much time, attention and scienti-
fc learning to the borer, and he had
always burned his trash from his cane
! fields as soon after the cane cutting
| as it was dry enough to burn.
But the kernel of the problem was in
that part of Colonel 'McCall's address
on the cane borer in which he stated
that, after the trash burning, he had
found numbers of living borers in the
unburned tops, That is, he did not sue
cessfully burn the trash in setting fire
to it when the tops were too green and
sappy to be burned, and were scarcely
seorched without or warmed up within.
This was simply case of untimely
trash burning when the leaves and
sheaths of the cane were withered and
dry enough to be consumed, but the
juicy tops, the natural winter home of
the bo-er were hardly heated.-Lous-

LOCAL LABOR.

The sugar circles of Hawaii have lent
their interest during the week chiefly
to the new move of the board of immi-

work. There is a general commenda
ton of the decision to return to Portu.
guese, and interest has been added by
the decision to go to the Demerara dis
trict of British Guiana.
The bad crop reports from this dis.
trict, which show only a couple of tons
of inferior sugar to the acre, have been
responsible for the plans to extend the
solicitation for immigrants to the new
district, and as many of the Portuguese
there are said to come from Madeira
local Portuguese will doubtless find
some friends among them.

REFINED SUGAR.

There can be no doubt that, even
with the best of care, refined sugar in
given quantities, placed even under the
best of conditions, will lose weight dur
ing its keeping, especially during the
summer months. 1t is a well-known
fact that dry sugar will absorb moist
ure; it may also happen that sugar
loaves will thrown out moisture during
the hot months, which may be followed
by certain complications in commercial
transactions. 1t is pointed out that
even in Russia, which the population
demands sugar loaves of exceptional
hardness, they may retain one per cent
of moisture. This can be eliminated
only in the laboratory and after forty
hours heating at 1O5 degrees Cent?
