WAILUKUP PROFITS
ARE SWELLEDB BY
IMPROVEMENTS

improvements made on the Waikiki
plantation in the last six years are
increasing the company's profits, Il
B. Penhallow, reported at the annual
meeting Of the stockholders today. As
a result Of the improvements the re-
pairs account for the last year on the
Maui property was SIS, 900 less than in
the previous year.
The 1914 crop. Penhallow reported.
was $4,000 tens, exceeding the eStt-
mate by 600 tons. principally because
Of better work in the mill and boiling
house. The 1915 crop is delayed be-
cause of wet weather and a shortage
in sugar bags. but with more favor
able weather should run to $50 tons.
The net profit for the year was $685.
92937.
Mr.. Penhallow in part says as fol-
lows:
THE plantation is in first class con-
dition. We are now getting the benc-
fit of the substantial repairs which
have been made during the past six
years. Our general repairs account
was about $4,000 less than the pre-
vious year, and our outlay under this
head should he even less for the 1915
crop. The improvement made. in the
intake of the Waihee ditch syphon
has given US a much better sunpiR
Of water at WaikapuE through this
ditch during the past wear. We. cons
pleted an extension on the upper ditch
from lao valley to Waikapu, which
gives us the benefit of freshet water
on our upper fields supplied by this
ditch. We also built a branch rail-
road line to the mill reservoir, where
We esta blished f1uming station, cut.
ting out the high cane fiume across
lao valley to the mill. which fIuma
and trestle it would have otherwise
been necessary to rebuild. We are
now able to supply the mill from the
water used at this fluming station.
The mill water can also be pumped
back FOR. irrigation purposes when nee
essary - This arrangement allows
more water for the upper fields on
the north side of lao valley during
the grinding season. Taking, this with
the changes made during the past two
years now gives US much more eff
cient system Of handling the water.
and we are in a better position to
meet a dry year than in the past. The
lower branch railroad line at Waikapu
was extended 1900 feet, (which prac-
completes the railroad work
which had been laid out This will
facilitate the harvesting Of
that section. Further changes we're
made in the fluming stations which
has cut down the labor fhere and al

General Outlook. i ~, -. -. :.
General-You will observe in the at
tacEed tables that we have an area
of 458 acres less to harvest this year
than last year, and for 1916 crop we
will have 244 acres less than we had
in 1914; this is principally accounted
for by number of our planters leav-
ing out the pals and land along the
edge of the woods. Seeing that free
sugar comes in 1916, they are some.
what doubtful of the outcome, and
naturally this feeling is shared by the
rest of us as we'll. During the past
year the cost of production has been
reduced somewhat by the, increased
crops and favorable climatic condi-
tions. Efficiency and economy are the
watchwords in all departments. and
we hope and trust that we will be
able to survive the blow that is await.

1916 BACKWARD,
ONOMEA REPORT
Manager John 7. Moir Says
Last Year Set Record, Yield
Exceeding Estimate

A year for which no excuses have
TO be made is the verdict on 1914 at
the Onomea plantation in the annual
report read by Manager John T. Moir
before the stockholders of the Ono
mea company at their annual meeting
today. The crop exceeded the first
estimate by 1859 tons, running to 49,
500 tons.
Owing to the fact that there will
be 45S acres less to harvest in 1915,
the yield is expected to be 1900
tons
MIR. Moir says in part, as follows:
Crop 1914: We commenced grind
ing January s. 1914, at a. m, and
finished August 20. 1914, at p. m.
No accidents of any kind happened
worth mentioning, excepting that we
had hard work getting finished. owing
to our fumes in the gulches being
washed out several times in the last
two weeks work, through heavy
rains and extremely high streams. As
to the mill and boiling house data re-
garding extraction and recovery,
please refer to the mill report attach
ed hereto, Owing to. the splendid
growing season and fine rich juice all
through the season. our first estimate
was exceeded by 1859 tons. ! have

3,761.45 Acres.
from which We expect to bag up prac.
tically 1900 tons of sugar. The pro-
spect is exceedingly good, SO far as ton
mage of cane in the fields is concerned,
and should the sucrose in the cane
be anywhere near as good as last year,
we may look for slight increase over
the above estimate. The fields this
year have tasseled more than the writ
er ever remembers since Caledonia
was planted in the Hfo district; this
may have a bearing on the yield, as
the tasseled cane will not increase in
tonnage and may have tendency to
deteriorate sooner. Yellow Caledonia
tasseling generally is a new departure
in this district, and the. results will
be anxiously watched. .~S. ,-

late and. backward; both plant and
ratoons have a very thin stand, which
we attribute to the excessive rains
we had during the six months from
the beginning of May to the end OF
October. During those six months over
1913 inches of rain fell, causing great
deal of the plant to be drowned out
entirely, while much of it was checked
seriously and its general growth re,
tar5ed, so that at the present time
the outlook for the 1916 crop is not at
all encouraging. Nevertheless a ia.
vorable summer may help to change
matters in this respect. We have Ger.
taif1ly worked harder and spent more
labor on this crop than either of the
two previous crops, but have about
one+half less to show for II. Climatic
conditions in this district haze been

such as the Ramsay macerating

Messchaert growing system has also
proven quite success. and has added
to our extraction from Y1-2 to l per

12-inch tubular boilers, which have Ia,

a cost of $11,509, and we hope will
soon pay for themselves by increased

making all these changes it was with
the view of increasing the capacity of

between mill and boiling house We
have no doubt but what the alterations
will result in more efficient work.

SOIL REGULATION
 MAKES GOOD YIELD
In Growing Legumes It is Well to Know Whether Proper Bacteria Are Present in the Soil.

The beneficial effects of growing le gumes on poor soils have been recog- nized from the earliest days of agri' cultural history For this reason there has always been a tendency to grow legumes especially in older farming regions.
 investigate Bacteria.
 In growing legumes 1t is always per tinent to know whether proper bac- teria are present in the soil so that the legume can take part of It's supply of nitrogen from the air and not entirely from the soil No one can tell this until the legume is tried. By digging up the plant by the roots and washing the soil away with water the nodules, if present, can easily be found. If these are not present the lesume plant cannot take nitrogen from the air.
 Methods of inocuiation.
 When growing certain legume on soil and especially in community where 1t has never been grown there Is always chance that artificial in oculaton may be necessary. Two methods are commonly employed One Is known as the soil transfer method Here soil at the rate of 200 to 500 pounds to the acre is taken from an old field where the legume has been growing, and the bacteria are known to be present. and scatter over the field to be planted With the other method pure cultures of the strain of bacteria suited to a certain legume are made. Such cultures are made by certain commercial concerns, or may be secured in limited quantities free of charge by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Although soil in. oculation is likely to be the more cer- tam, the pure cultures can be used to good advantage where inoculated soil cannot be secured

HARVESTING THE ONION.

How shall l store my onions so that they will keep during the remain. der or the summer and during win. ter?"
 The above question is one that is frequently asked by the farmers of the state. The following suggestions 1T carried out, will greatly help in solving the problem:
 Do not allow the onions to remain III the ground after they are mature, but dig them when from so to 90 Der cent of the tops die and fall over Three or four rows may be piled to- gether fin windrow as they are dug and allowed to remain in this way un. til the tops are dry. which will re- quire several days owing to the de. gree of sunshine. It may be neces. sary to turn the onions over at inter vals of two days until they are thor. oughly dry. Do not allow white onions to remain in the sun until they turn green.
 Place in Bags.
 AS soon as properly cured in the held. place the onions in bags and car. ry to the storage house. The stor. age house should be well ventilated especially until the bulbs are thor. oughly dry. If only few bushels are to be stored, 1t is good idea to spread them out on the ncor of | building. piling them not more than six inches deep on the floor. When placed in this way there Ia little dan. ger of the bulbs heating or sproutinp from moisture. Some of the regular onion storage houses have a series of shelves. one above the other in which the bulbs are spread out to dry If you have to store them in bags leave plenty of air space between the diff ferent bags and be sure the bulbs are all cured before placing them fin the bags.
