To what extent HAWAII could produce
the supplies here listed under imports
is en- open question. For examine: we
produce sisal, hut it does not yet appear
wheteIr we could advantageously make
cordage and sugar bags from il; we
can lnodnce tobacco, but to what ex.
sents smokers would acquiesee in the
""ts+'tntion of Hawaii tObascos for the
$740,s5l worth of imported product, no
ode van yet certainly predict. These
two are partly manufacturing problems
and the agriculturlist must wait for n
demand to rise. In many other lines,
howoycr, the demand Is direct, and far
from being supplied. 1t would ap-
oear wiser for the small independent
farmer to devote his energies to meet
ing local needs. The Territorial Market
is proving of great help in this c5nnec-
ton and should give increasingly eff
ticient service to both producer and
consumer with its enlarged facilities.

II Others Equaled Hawaii
The Bureau of the Census has re.
Gently sent out sheet showing the
per capita values Of the crops and of
the manufactures in The several States.
Three States show a higher per capita
value of crops than Hawaii, due to the
far greater number of acres of lanh
for each person in the State. II is in,

sifcation has been made. Ten years
ago scarcely 81 ,000,000 separated the
value Of the total exports on the one
hand, and the sugar and molasses ex,
ports on the other. As illustrated In
Figure 2 there has been a steady in,
crease in the non-sugar exports.
~ This rise In, the value of minor ex.
potts has been due very largely to the
development in the production Of
canned pineapples, In Figure 3 are
shown the export values during the
last ten years Of those industries, other
than sugar, which have amounted to
100000 per year or over. ,...

The values given are all for the raw

manufactured article; the value of su.
gar exported in 1909 was $40, 100000
in excess of the value given for the
cane, that of the canned pineapples
more than three times the value OF
tho crop as given in the table,
1t is clear that the striking eontrass
between Hawaii and the other por.

The Cuba Review in one of its re.
cent issues notes that the highest
freight ever paid ON Cuban sugar in
the entire history OF the industry was
a rate Of one dollar per bag on a cargo
recently shipped from Sagua lie Grande
to pew York. On basis OF Hawaiian,
tons this rate amounted to $6.25, The
Cuban freight rate in normal years
averages $50 to $2.l0 per ton. ~.

Thus in the sugar and pineapple in,
dustries development has extended over
u considerable period; it is reasonable
to expect that new enterprises will
have a similar history.
Sugar Pays the Taxes
The capitalization of all the sugar
plantations in Hawaii on December 81,
1912 aggregated $s4,67l,l42, and the
valuation on which taxes were paid
was 500, 4S6,O4l. That year these plan
tatiOns paid sixty FIVE per cent OF all
the territorial tax receipts; how niue h
they paid indirectly through individu,
ais and firms supported more or less

proximated eighty.6ve per cent. No
