GREEN MATURING

The years work along this line has
strengthened our previous statements
to the effect that green manuring
may be utilized advanta geoIsly in
connection with cane culture in these

that on certain irrigated plantations
the expense OF growing a rotation
crop might be almost prohiDitive, es-
pecially if it cntaiIod complete re-

PROPAGATION OF NEW
SEEDLINGS

The propagation of 1911 consisted
of several hundred seedlings. These
were examined in March, and after
discarding the worthless ones, there
remain thirty-seven which are now
being grown for more severe testing.
They have been numbered from II.
4O4 TO H. 44O inclusive.
The propagation of 1912, owing to
lack of space, is confined to a dozen
or more volunteer seedlings of I'M
known parentage which were found
about the station plats. With the en-
larged field area now available the
Station will be able to extend this
work very materially in the future.

SEEDING VARIETIES

The years work with Seeding va.
rieties has brought out more striking
ly than ever the fact that number
of these new canes possess distinct
properties of early maturity. There
remains little question that several
of these varieties are superior to the
on irrigated plantations. For short
ratooning purposes there are a mum.
Der which give remarkable promise.
In the short ration variety compari-
sons at the station field H. 20, d.
1885, H. SO. H. 1913, and H. 1903 gave
in sugar per acre: 9.06, $40, S.07, 1857
and 1853 tons respectively; against
6.63 on the part of Yellow Caledonia
and SIP tons from Lahaina.
In another variety experiment il
was found that a decided deteriora-
ton took place in number of the
most promising canes between JaniI-
airy Us months old and March.
The January results served to sub
stantiate IN measure the good show
ing made in 1911 by H, 20, II. $40. H.
f46, H. %, H. 1877, Fl. 227, H. q, and
ID. 1875. They also pointed out III.
6S, H. 135, H. POS, and H. 90 (not
heretofore tested) as being canes de-
serving further comparison.
The March results brought out
very forcibly the variable qualities of
the different varieties as regards ma
turity, and deterioration and lead to
the conclusion that it. is an unsound
practice to depend on single variety
of cane for a grinding season extend
ing over a period of nine months or
more. Obviously it Will prove more
profitable to, harvest an early matur
ing cane at the beginning of the sea-.
son, than proceed to varieties OF av-
erage maturing qualities. and end the
season with a late maturing cane, or.
as MIR. Agee has pointed out, with
short ratoons from an early maturing
variety.
The work of testing and extending
the Seeding varieties has progressed
appreciably during the year, and
there are some plantations with con-
siderable area devoted to the, new

1 The Heat of Combustion of Bagasse
from Hawaiian Cane.-The object oil
this work, undertaken by DR. R. s
/ Norris, was to find the thermal value
of bagasse from different localities
in order to determine whether the
great variation in the percentage
consumption of the bagasse pro
duced in different factories is due to
g., variation in the thermal value OF
bagasse.
For comparing different kinds OF
cane, the IIDeT was uSoQ III place OF
bagasse, to avoid any effect of varia
ton in sugar content. The fiber from
the two most commonly cultivated
,canes, Lahaina and Yellow Caledonia,
from less frequently cultivated vari.
cites like Rose Bamboo and d. 1875,
and from many Hawaiian, seedlings,
were tested by Dr.. Norris, and but
very little variation found in the
thermal values. The fiber from cane
from different parts, of the Islands
likewise showed but little variation.
From the results of all the tests it
was concluded that the average Their
NAL value of Hawaiian bagasse is
$500 calOries.
A few determinations were made
of the thermal value of the fiber from
different parts of the cane-the rind
and pith, the nodes and internodes.
In Bulletin No. 40 the results of this
investigation are discussed in detail
and calculations are given of the heat
of combustion that is available. which
constitutes the true fuel value. De-
examinations are also given of the
thermal value of several subsidiary
fuels used in cane sugar factories

closes a long line of experimentation
on, the question of strippings AS al
ready mentioned the test applied to
the Striped Tip cane The nature of
this cane led to the belief that it
might require stripping, even though
the Lahaina and Yellow Caledonia
varieties were not benefited by the
practice.
Tie results do not show any loss
from stripping. as has oftentimes
been the case, with other varieties,
in fact, very slight increases in yield
