coffee growers Of Kona, Hawaii, were

Of tho most profitable ycans in the his,

cause Of being unable to hoat loan

the crop now being harvested and the
price began to tumble until coffee
now bringing the growers in the neigh.
borhood of twelve cents per pound.
Growers Not Discouraged 5.. =. III
But despitr this, tho Kona coffee men
arc far from discouraged. They have
been busily engaged In harvesting their
crop for the past sixty days 10 Is
estimated that the crop this year will
DO somewhere between fifty thousand
and sixty thousahd bags Of one hun
dred pounds each. This win bring the
value Of the crop, on a 10000 bae
basis M TO sT2g00O against $3.50, 900,
the value Of the coffee exports from
Hawaii last year. But the price then
ranged from two 10 FIVE cents per
pound above the quotations now pre-
yailing. s
War Is Blamed i -. .....e
The war is blamed for the present
low price. Hawaii b practically tho
only coffee producing section Of the
United States and its output Is prac.
tieally not noticeable in the amount OF
coffee consumed in this country. Las

by the United States was siil,O00,oo0
Most of this coffee is raised in South
and Central America. " might be
imagined that the United States would
play an important past in this indus

great bulk OF the business is controlled

foe output Of the world being distrib.
uted from Germany, where supply
Of 100000 bags is said now 70 be on
hand. The complete tying up Of Ger
man shipping on the Atlantic and thu
loss OF two largo, coffee cargoes from
the Latin Republics HIS prevented the
shipping OF eosfce to Europe, with the
result that this country has fccn GOOD
cd with coffee and the price has fallen

Kona Coffee In Demand b. ~.
Ordinarily the Hawaii sropwould not
suffer: IN the frst place because its
output Is SO limited, and In the second
place becase there has been demand
on the Pacific Coast for even more
