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 1915 tons
to harvest, part of which has been irri-
gated. No official estimate Of the crop
has been made

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 1000 tons and there is
probable connection between
this unusual discrepancy and the rumor
that Manager Gierdrum 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
been deceived by the appearance of the
cane on the high lands.

5055 tons of sugar from 201S acres.

condition and except for two lines of
portable flume no improvements are
contemplated.

thousand tons has been set as the
figure for the coming year.

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
743l tons which, however, kept dwin-
ding until the final reports showed
