John \. scott, of HilO, stated yestCr-
dav that the cane in the HilO district
is in snIrnd:d shape. Thus far Hilo has
had less rain than Hamakua. The pre-
vailing warmth and sunshine have ma
teriullv increased yields and purity
and all plantations will Outturn more
sugar than their original estimates
called for.
Not only is the 1915 crop good; the
1916 fields are improving every day.
The 1911 plant cane, is well started.
All the windward plantations have
their cultivation better in hand than
has been the case at this season for
several Years. The streams are low, oil

said, but even should the harvesting

this might not be a serious matter con

under date of April %: In spite of some
cold, rainy weather, warm, sunny days
predominated during the past week, and
on the whole, conditions favored field
work, which made good progress. There
were unfavorable conditions, both at
the beginning and end, owing to rain,
and at times snow, which, especially in
the southeast, made much of the land
unavoidable. But, for the greater part,
field work was favored and in some
sections beet seeding is well under way.
Everywhere the lack of labor and ami.
mails is apparent, but it is hoped that
some farm labor will be furlOughcd
from duty at the front and sent home
TO help with the planting, so that ar,
rangements in general can take a more
orderly course.
The work is, however, easier than it
might be, as the soil is loose from the

Opening the Dardanelles

The London Mail of May q says;
Prohibition of imports continues, an /
it is believed that government pur
chasrs will be sufficient to supply our
refncrs with raw sugars until October
or November. 1T is quite impossible TO
say, even approximately, what has been
the extent Of government purchases.
Personally we are inclined to think they
have not bought more than 100000 ton
of new crop Javas, but it is thou hit in
some quarters that they have secured
as much as 4OO, 900 tons, besides further
supplies from Cuba. As our refncrs can
only supply (roughly) half of our re
quirements in the shape Of white su
gars, it viii be necessary TO import
largely to supply the deficiency.
cit is hoped that the Dardanelle'
= will be cleared for traffic within two o
, three months, and the effect of this OF
l GRAFTON would probably be to rclcaS'
; $50, 100000 tons of Russian crystals
! which would be useful addition to Oh
white sugar supply. Some of the Java
u are white sugars and could be used a
u refined sugar. Lastly, the Maurtu
crop, which commences in August, ha
B so far not been dealt with, and there
g always the possibility that our govern
y ment may again secure practically tn
whole crop, as was the case last year.
