option on the Crop.
Samples of the 1910 tobacco crop
have been sent to New York ana so
favonbly has the tobacco been con-
sidersd by the manufacturers there that
one large cigar manufacturer has prae-
tically secured an option on the pres
emit crop, which will be marketed next
September, by Offering to take the en-
tire output at the company IS own price.
Beside this the company has raceiv-
ed over 200 inquiries from Eastern
manufacturers and tobacco dealers,
which shows the great interest excited
by this new tobacco, and it is prob
able that the entire crop of 1910 will
go to New York by an AmericanHa-
waiian steamship early in September.
Great improvements.

with which there viii be a store for
the accommodation of the workers on
the plantation, of which several hun

Another plan which the company
has in reserve is to establish great
cigar factory in Honolulu in which the
local tobacco can be made up into
cigars. A few of these Kona cigars
have alread been made and are con-
sidered so good that some of the local
dealers have wanted to have at least
100000 cigars made up for the local
trade.

EONA TOBACCO MUST
OPEN THE MARKET

HIL0, July 21.-Gustav Kretchzmar,
the Hamakua tobacco expert, came to
Hilo this week, having just sold out
his tobacco plantation at Paauilo to
Chas. K. Motley, who bought the crop
of about ton of tobacco as well as the
land. Kretchzmar is looking about in
Olaa and Hilo district for a piece of
land, but viii probably settle at Laupa-
hoehoe.
Kretchzmar says that the time is yet
too early for the small man to enter
into the tobacco planting field in Ha.
waii. However, he maintains as firmly
as ever that there is a great future for
tobacco in these islands, and that it is
just question of time when tobacco
viii rank with sugar and pineapples in
importance. He explains that at pres
ent the small man who can produce a
crop of only ton OF two, can not look
for very good price for his product
from the cigar manufacturer, who
wants enough to establish a brand on.
The Kona plantations which, being cor
poratiOns, can produce large crops, will
break the way for the Hawaiian to-
baeco, and once they have created a
market for the Hawaiian product, the
individual planter will be able to en-
gage in the business at O profit
Kretchzmar says that he intends to lead
the life of a small farmer, depending
on other crops, until the time comes
when Hawaiian tobacco comes 10 its
own, when he viii 60 back into the
business.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-07-25

of the money that it will receive on
IS product 1t really means a greater
opportunity for the small farmer, for
it was asserted yesterday by an officer
of the company that it would buy up
at the highest prices all Of this tobacco
that small farmers in the Islands could
raise under the supervision of its ex.
pert.
This is an important announcement
and seems the solution in one way for
the use of the lands in the tobacco belt
which are now lying idle for lack Of
the small farmer to utilize them in
profitable crops. The tobacco crop is
one of the most profitable and few
acres will not only make a man com
fortable, but should bring him in an
automobile income.
Speaking of the work which has been
done and what is expected one of the
officers of the company yesterday prov.
ed most optimistic, as follows:
Best Of Its Kind.

loan is for four years at six, per cent
interest, and the Kona Tobacco Com
pany agrees to repay the money at the
rate of $4,000 year out of the pro

To Be Sole Agent.
In return the Hackfeld company is
granted the sole right for ten years
to act az the selling and financial
agent of the Kona Tobacco Company,
its commission for the first year being
two and half per cent and five
per cent for the balance of the term.
At this time the Kona Tobacco Com
pany has $50 acres of fine tobacco land
in the Kona district available for its
crop, but owing to a lack of facilities
for handling a larger crop at this time
only about 100 acres are planted to
tobacco.
Next year 1T is proposed to plant
$50 acres to tobacco and it is prob
able that two crops will be harvested
in the one season, for it is ninety
day crop in Kona. For 1913 it is ex-
peeted that over 200 acres win be

Lease Is Extended.
The land in the Kona district now
held by the Kona Tobacco Company is
leased from the Bishop estate. The
original lease was for twenty -four
years, of which three years has al
ready run during the experiments
which have been made, but yesterday
the Bishop estate granted an exten
sion of this lease for an extra six
years, making twenty-seven years which
the lease still has to operate.
1t is probable that within a few
years, with the natural increase of
acreage demanded by the extension of
the company's operations, negotiations
will be opened with the estate by which
the company win secure much larger
tract Of land and for longtime
lease.
The prospects of the Kona Tobacco
Company are now exceedingly bright,
for Hawaii is the only country which
can supply a tobacco in direct eompe-
tltion with Sumatra leaf free of duty.

terday morning between the board Of
directors Of the Kona Tobacco Com.
pany and II. Hackfeld Co, Ltd,
there is now every indication that the
raising and marketing of tobacco in
this Territory, and especially in the
Kona district of Hawaii, will develop
into one of the important industries of
the Islands.
At the meeting Of the directors yes.

the great experts in tobacco growing,

for believing that instead of only TWEEN.
ty per cent Of the crop, as in 1910, be-
ing salable as wrapper leaf the next
crop will average eighty per cent as
wrapper and only twenty per cent as
filler and binder.
1t is the wrapper leaf which brings
the high prices, ranging from $l.25 to
$3.50 a pound, while the filler and bind
er sells for only abort twenty five
cents pound. For this reason the ex.
perts of the company are estimating
that with the increased acreage to be
planted the crop for 1912 will bring at
least $l25, 900, of which fifty per cent
will b. clear profit.
The marketing of the Sumatra wrap
per leaf, with which the Kona tobacco
can best be compared, is made in New
York in bond The leaf is sold in bond
at from twenty-five cents to $3.50 a
pound and the buyer pays in addition

The only tobacco which can in any

adds tremendously to the expense. Yet

of practical experience, it was decided
TO engage Mr.. Daniels, an experienced
tobacco man, to take charge of tho
handling of the 1910 crop. Upon his
arrival il was found that methods in
vogue on the plantation were doing the
crop great harm and causing much loss
in the quality and stability of the
leaf. All these conditions have now
been righted new barns are in process
of construction and the crop on hand,
amounting to 100000 to 10000 pounds
will bring from fifty to sity thousand
dollars.

Oh. Hackfeld s. Co., Ltd, through
their liberal aid to the company have
played great part in the development
of the business. Their faith in the
ultimate results in the Kona enterprise
has never been shaken since Mr..
Daniels first reported on the quality
and possibilities of the leaf. Owing
to the bad condition of the two early
crops the stockholders were discour-
aged and did not feel like enlisting
others to put in their money, and
