NAKAWELI CROP
PROSPECTS
FAIR

According to the report of B. ID.
baldwin, manager, the past year has
Teen the driest in the history of Ma
kaweli plantation, that of the Hawai-
ian Sugar Co., which held its annual
meeting this morning at Alexander &
Baldwin's Office. A summary of the
rainfall shows an immense falling of
from the average for the plantation,
and Mr.. Baldwin says that the long
continued drought of 1912 was not
broken until December. AT this
late date" he goes on to say, "a
heavy rainfall and full bitches, al
though welcomed to a certain extent,
have not been of any great benefit to
the plantation. Due to the small
amount Of rainfall, naturally our wa
ter supply became very low and ! am
sorry to say that our cane fields suf-
fered the greater part of the year for
the lack OF moisture. These conditions
have seriously affected the growth OF
our crops and especially so the COM
ing crop, which has been damaged to
the extent of several thousand tons Of
sugar"
Mr.. Baldwin says the plantation as
a whole has been quite free of all
kinds of pests since his last report.
The tackinid fly has increased rapid
ly and he is sure it has already re-
duccd some Of the damage done by
the cane oorer.
Milling of the 1912 crop began No
vember Is, 1911, and the mill closed
down on August z, 1912. Grinding
operations and the manufacture of
sugar were carried on without mis-
haps and there were no delays during
the campaign. The managers esti-
mate of 81, 139 tons of sugar from the
while his estiTrste of Gay e. Robin
sons fields of 4511 tons was exceed
ed by 1883 tons, so that on the COM
bined crops there was shortage of
sos tons Of sugar from estimates.
hawaiian Sugar Co.'s area was 1854
acres. and Gay & Robinson's 694
acres, making a total area of 1858
acres The crop yielded as follows:
H s. Co. fields, 20,S9S.5375 tons OF
sugar; G. & r. fields, 4659.S750; grand
total, tons of sugar, 25,552.9125 tons of
sugar. H S. Cos share of the sugar
was e0,009.5S625 tons of its own cane
yield and 203S.47656 tons of G. & r.
cane yield, total of 22,048. 062S1, and
Gay & Robinson's share S83.95125 of
II. S. Co. and 2620. 1854 Of G. & R.
cane yield, total of 3504.S4969 tons.
Harvesting of the 1913 crop began
on November IL, 1912, and grinding
began on the 18th. Having had thor
vugh oyerhauling during the off-sea-
son, the factory made splendid be-
ginning on the new crop. This crop
is the enc thai has suffered the most
from the drought of the past year.
