Variety That is Suited to Hawaii
Conditions Means Millions
Of D4Iiars

After many years OF constant work
and thought and the raising OF many
thousands Of cane seedlings, species
has at last been produced by the
scientists at the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Experiment Station, which
stands head and shoulders above the
other canes both in quality and pro.
ductiveness. In an interview. II. p.
Agee, director of the station. has
given IN Interesting account Of the
difficulties encountered In raising
new varieties Of sugar cane and the
final producing Of thfs ideal speci.
men.
According TO Agee, II a certain va.
riety OF corn, beans or pea, Is planted,
the same variety will result, but this
Is not the case In the growing of sugar
cane. Every year thousands or cane
seeds are planted at the station and
for every seed sown different kind
OF sugar cane grows so that II 1000
cane seeds are planted, 1000 different
varieties Of sugar cane are obtained.
Some stalks are big and healthy and
worth keeping while others are weak
and fan by the waysfde.
Always Something Lacking
Ten years ago, In 1906. 1900 cane
seeds were planted ID i corner Of the
station grounds--as had been done
before and has been done since-in an
endeay0r TO obtain a stock which
would possess all the qualities de-
manded by the sugar growers. IN

gated that gave every promise Of full.
filling the demand and needs Of an
ideal sugar cane for Hawaii.
Today, said Agee. this sugar

worth millions OF dollars TO the sugar
growers and Is believed by them TO be
one Of the best now grown on the ISL
ands Its percentage Of sugar is high
and, what is even more important, 1t
retains the sap in the stalk after II
reaches maturity. which gives plenty
OF time for cutting"
supplants LahaIna Cane
Cuttings from this cane are now be-
ing introduced as fast as possible by
the plantations and Il is particularly
being set out on the lands upon which
formerly was grown the variety
known as Lahina cane and which for
many years was thought to be the best
kind. During recent years, however,
the Lahaina variety has not been do
ing well on the old lands where for
merly it produced immense crops, but
HOO seems ideally suited to this soi]
and large returns are resulting.
etiH strive 70 improve
The experiment station officials,
however, even though they have pro-
duced one excellent variety cannot sit
back and enjoy the honors. but must
keep steadily at work and try and
raise an even better kind. In. further
ance OF this, the .Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association have recently
purchased three more lots adjacent to
the station and here will be planted
thousands more of sugar cane seed
and an equal number Of new kinds of
sugar cane raised
According to Agee, even II they
produce only one fairly good variety
out Of many thousands of seeds and
one excellent variety from hundreds
OF thousands after many years Of
hard work they feel that they have
been well repaid for their thought
and labor. The raising of a high
quality OF sugar cane said Agee, is
not matter of few months work
but labor Of many years Of careful
testing and EXPERIMENTING, which may
result In species of the caliber Of
Hf09, but more often IS a fixture so
far as visible results show"

GREELEY, Cofo.-f1arvesting and

Great Western Sugar Company for the
Greeley factory has been completed
and shows more than an average
crop OF good, live seed. According TO
Field Agent Timothy, the Greeley
crop averaged 400 pounds Of un,

pounds above the average This seed
has been shipped to the .Longmont
factory, where 1t win be cleaned. II
is expected to clean out about 50
per cent. Experiments show the seed
is high in termination powers. and
demonstrates beyond doubt the sue.
cess of raising seed in America for
American factories. More than 150
acres will be planted again this year
for the Greeley factory.
Everything is IN readiness here for
the commencement of the beet har.
vest. Digging orders will probably
be sent out to start September %,
and the factory will commence about
October I.
