oan Iahelsco yesterday, the fOiiOWlng
report was made:
Crop Of 1910.
Grinding began on November 8. 1909
and was finished June Il. 1910. with the
very satisfactory result that we manu-
featured 56,s65 tons of sugar, which is
our record yield.
The crop was harvested from 64SS
acres Of cane, plant and ration, which
yielded an average of SIG tons of
sugar per acre. This large yield was
due in part to excellent juice; in fact,
our juice is the richest in the Terri
tory. 1t only took $50 tons Of cane to
make ton of sugar.
The sugar yields for the various
months Of the crop were as follows:
Tons of cane per ton of commercial
sugar-November, 1909, 7.45; Decem-
Der, 1909, 7.l9; January, 1910, SOB;
February, 1910, 6.97s March, 1910, COL;
AApril, 1910, $3.50; May, 1910, 600;
June, 1910, GIG.
The tabulated figure of GIG tons of
cane per ton of sugar for the month of
June is higher yield than actually
recovered from the cane. This is due
to too conservative estimate of the
stock in PROCESS for the previous month.
Crop Of 1911.
Milling of this crop was commenced
on November s, 1910, and up to date
2950 acres have been harvested, which
have yielded 7.15 tons of sugar per
acre. The small yield is due to the
I fact that the acreage harvested is made
up largely of our highest ratoons !;
also to the fact that the juices have
! been poor on account of the heavy rains

| taken 7.55 tons of cane to make ton
of commercial sugar, while last year,
up to the same date, it only took 40
tons of cane to make ton of sugar.
! The sugar due to cane ground is
Pills tons. We have yet to harvest
! 3529.71 acres, which should yield about
903 tons of sugar per acre, or 31,SS5
tons, making total for the 1911 crop
of $4,000 tons of sugar.
| Up to date We, have 20,4S3,3 tons
of sugar bagged, while last year at the
same date we had, 0,395.06 tons of
sugar bagged. Considering the heavy
rains that we have had to contend
with during December and January, we
are fortunate in having the harvesting
so well advanced 5i s5
Crop of 1912. 81
Planting was staftedi6n March, and
finished on July 80, which makes a new
record for this company in early plant
ing
The area planted was 24O0.01 acres,
which. together with 419S.20 acres of
ratoons, gives us an acreage of
659S.21 acres for the crop.
Hilling-up was finished on November
l, which put that work two months
ahead of the previous year.
With early planting and hilling-up,
the cane has had a magnificent start
and if favored with good growing con
ditions during the coming summer and
fall, should be the banner crop.
Crop of 1918.
The steam plows started ON Novem-
Der 8, but owing to the unusually rainy
weather have been shut down more
than half the time during December
and January Nevertheless, 1850 acres
have been frst-plowed
Sugar Factory.
Mills-The past year saw the har.
vesting of the largest crop in the, his
tory of this plantation. The mills were
driven a little harder than in 1909, the
average tons of cane ground per hour
being 97.S5, as against 96.12 tons the
previous year. The, total manufaetur-
ing loss for the crop was 14,27 per
cent, as against 1895 per cent for the
previous crop. The difference in the
percentage of loss of the two crops is
! due to the fact that the came was much
richer in sucrose in 1910 than for the
previous year.
Molasses.
In the fall of 1909 negotiations were
entered into with the Western Distil.
leries Company for the sale of waste
molasses. The contract for this was
finally signed on the 14th of February
! 1910.
The erection of a storage tank al
Kahului for the molasses was completed
the second week of March, and the de
livery of molasses in tank cars was com
menced at once.
In the mean time between the com
meneement of the 1910 crop and thu
completion of the storage tank, we ha(
wasted 4714 tons of molasses. Sine
the completion of the tank, up to thu
, 1st of February, 1911, we have shipped
, to Kahului zoos tons, of which 679i
tons have been shipped by the Lurlin,
to the Coast, leaving balance on hant
of 22lO tons.
The molasses is sold on the basis o
, 80 per ton for combined sugar con
tent of 80 per cent, with an advance
of zoe per ton for every degree owe
}. 80 per cent, and corresponding de
I crease for every degree under so pc
cent.
We should realize profit of at leas
$4,000 per annum on our waste mo
