Insect Pests.
During the cold weather in March
and April the leaf hopper did much
injury to field of - acres on Hawaii
loa, on the extreme windward side Of
the plantation. A strange feature Of
this case was that the parasites were
present in great numbers and the only
explanation Is. as given by Mr.. Swe-
Gey, EntOmOlOgist at the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Experiment Station
who reported under date of Juno II,
1911:
Apparently this outbreak has been
so severe on account of the cane be-
ing situated 50 that when the leaf hop
more uniprufpJ T.. II thny bnI a ,hunna
to get well started to breeding before
their parasites could reach them In
sufficient numbers to keep them in
check. II is probable also that the
weather at the time was unfavorable
for the parasites while being very IA
vorable for the hoppers. II Is also
likely that the variety of cane has
been somewhat responsible for II, the
Rose Bamboo being somewhat of q
iayorite with the hoppers. I.ahaina
cane. forming a small part Of this
field, was not nearly so badly attacked
by the hoppers AZ the Bamboo was.
Later In the year the field improved
very much In growth as the leaf hop
pcrs were finally eXterminated. No
other fields for the crop of 1912 were
badly affected
The cane borer Is still causing much
damage although we are at work con
lnually gathering and destroying the
beetles. The Tachinid parasite has
spread all over the plantation from the
original colonies and the crop we are
now taking of should show some i'm
provement and the next crop a very
great improvement over former crops
In the loss by cane borers.
Mill.
The improvements and additions to
the mill referred to in the last annua
report resulted ip greater efficiency
No changes In the plant or purchases
OF new machinery are considered fol
