Kona Coffee Conditions

The eoffes crop Is distressingly small
this year and Kona is coFrespondiHgly
blue, John p. Curtis of Kailua reports.
There was big crop of ripe coffee on
the trees when the first storm came
along in November. The wind stripped
the trees and blew coffee, leaves and
small branches of on to the ground
Fortunately the second storm avoided
the coffee district. There was good
deal Of rain and very heavy flush of
blossom. This has set well, Mr.. Curtis
stated, and there Is every Indication Of
a heavy crop IN 1915. f.. p
The 1915 coffee season will be as
early as that of 1918 was late. There
is usually second flush the latter part
OF this month OF in February, follow
ing the Inter rains. The trees have tax.
'en holiday during 1915, especially in
the Holualoa section and may there
fore be expected to make up for it with
an exceptionally heavy yield this year.
The Kalihiki and Honannau crop was
almost up to the average but in all
other parts Of North and South Kona
yields have been very poor TT.

Der Observation-Disclosures OF The Assoc.
eihted Press Europe needs in the
coming year 2.5OO,OOO tons Of sugar
from overseas, according to an address
delivered before the Indian Society Of
The Hague By DIR. IL. q. Prinsen Goor-
lings. The speaker explained In detail
the effeft Of the war on the sugar posi-
tion in the different European eouh.

been the chief sufferer since almost
the whole Of the snghr.prodncing parts
Of that country are In the hands of the
Germans, the sonsequehce Of which WINS
that large shipments had TO be made
from the United States and Cuba.
Germany Has Enough a
In both Germany and Austria the
production in the past year had been
normal. In peace times, Germany ex-
ported about million tons annually;
but she now uses up all her surplus
production at home, largely as food for
cattle and as raw material for the ex
traction Of yeast and spirits. Moreover,
the Belgian yield has been seized for
the use OF the German armies, and for
the civilian population Of the occupied
parts Of northern France. - '
On the whole, during the past year.
sugar prices in the predicting countries
Of Europe have not advanced materidl.

of Great Britain. whose government.
Immediately after Germany had prohib,
tied the exportation OF sugar, had
bought 100000 tons of the commodity
at high prices. go ~. - 20.
French Three Quarters Shy '!
As regards the coming year., the gu
gar production in Frances the speaker
said, is estimated at only 1S0, 900 tons,
or less than one'quarter Of the normal
consumption. Germany, even With the
use of the Belgian crop, cannot produce
more than barely sufficient to cover her
peoples needs; hence the persistent
enquiries for cattle fodder containing
sugar.
Germany can, however, also draw up.
on Austria, whose production is est.
mated at o million tons, of which moth
ing Is available for export except. per.
haps, to Germany. Russia will have a
poor crop, and will therefore have also
nothing for expectation. to. -
America Has Advantage T.. 49, .
On balance, Great britain alone will
need to import 1880, 900. tons, and
France over 60O,000 tons. All Far
Eastern countries show steadily in
,creasing; sugar consumption, and accord
ing to DR.. Geerlings, there VIII he a
bare half million tons available for ex.
port from al countries east Of Suez.
Europe, therefore, has TO look for her
main supplies to the United States,
Cuba, and the Antilles; but even TAX,
ing into account the exportabIe surplus
from both North aud South America,
there will still be deficit Of roughly
100000 tons. Should the war drag on
