Competition Makes Prices.
The main factor in fixing sugar prices

be the connection of Great Britain
and the United States for the avail.

exporter Of sugar Increased prices
will result in some lessening Of con.
sumption, but the United Kingdom
will need to obtain from other than her
usual sources Of supply probably 1880
COO tons, while tho United States, owing
to the decrease in the domestic crop fol.
lowing tho reelection Of the tariff, will
have TO import between z, 100000 and
100000 tons If Il can be found.
The needs OF these two countries may
be placed at S,5o0,O00 tons. Cuba. with
an estimated crop Of less than $500,
COO tons, can supply only part of this
demand lava, with a production oi
100000 tons, may help to meet IL
Other scattered small producers may
contribute relatively ummportani
amounts.
Whatever is shipped from these eonn

States must be withdrawn from othcl
accustomed trade channels, however, 81

PHILIPPINES G0ULD !.
RAISE ALL SUGAR

SAN FRANCISCO, September 21.--
"Now is the opportunity for the
United States to produce all its sugar, ;"
said Newton w. Gilbert, former Vice
Governor Of the Philippine Islands and
member of the Philippine Assembly,
who arrived at the Hotel st. Francis
Yesterday from the East. Continuing,
he said: I't. -.
''Ths opening is made by the war
situation in Europe. The world an
nual production in sugar is 10000, 900
tons, half of which comes from Ger
many, Austria, France, Belgium and
Russia, the nations now at war. The
fields have been IN great part deyas-
tated, and the laborers have been called
10 the army, and mauy of them will fall
in battle The sugar beets that arc
raised win be needed for food.
United States produces 4,000,-
600 tons Of sugar annually, half of
which is raised under our flag. The
output in the Philippines last year was
100000 tons. Sugar can be produced
cheaper there than in Hawaii, and In
a short time the output should be
100000 tons. Oyer $s,O00,00O has
been invested in sugar in the Philip
pines In the last three years, and there
is promise of big returns. i
'sThis sugar win come to the Cont
nontal United States and replace that
which we have been buying from Eu
rope During the eight years was in
the Islands the trade Increased from
$i,000,000 to $30,O00,000. 1t should go
TO $3oo,0Q0,0 900 in the next ten years :
Gilbert resigned from office last De-
tober and is returning TO Manila to
open law Office. Heiis accompanied
by Mrs Gilbert, and will sail on the

SALT MATER
AND IRRIGATION
More Than One Hundred Grains
(. Per Gallon Make the
Solution Injurious

A salt content of more than one hun
drcd grains per gallon in the irrigation
water is unsuitcd to cane production.
There may be no serious reduction in
the percentage of sucrose in the cane,
but tie total amount of cane per acre
is greatly diminished
SAL Can Be Leachcd
Chlofidcs and nitratcs added TO soils

tiers are subject to teaching. Hawaiian
soils exhibit remarkable capacity for
tfxing" potash, phosphates and sui
pilates, but while ammonium sulphate
is rapidly fixed so that the nitrogen

soils for the use of plants, nitrogen APP

Many Of the artesian waters on Oahu
contain normally from thirty TO forty
grains of salt per gallon, percentage
not idisadvantageous to cane. Water
containing over 100 grains Of salt per
gallon may be used If the field is food

irrigation with water containing thirty
grains per gallon may be injurious
should there be so little water that eva
poration from the soil and transpira-
tion by the growing cane leaves an ae-
cumulated surplus of chlorides in the
soil. ,Is
An excess Of salt in the irrigation
water produces all the symptoms Of
drouth. Excess of chlorides in the soil
interferes with the growth of beneficial
soil bacteria. Also, salt increases the
density of the soil waters and pre-
vents their being taken up by the roots
of plants.
Mountain water Pure
The mountain waters of Hawaii are
practically free OF salt. The deep ar.
tesian wells are also practically with
out salt. The shallow artesian wells
vary in the salt content Of their wa,
tiers from year to wear and according
to prevailing weather conditions aud
the amount of flow as well as the
amount pumped. When too much water
is pumped, or after series of "dry"
years, the water from the shallow ar
tesiah wells may show an excessive salt
content and may therefore be actually
INJURIOUS to cane cultivation and sugar
production. fg
