The planting for this crop was done
in good time, being finished on Sep
TENDER 90. Included in the area plant
ed are $50 acres of new land in Wal.
ava and Waipio. also 1t2 acres of
land previously cultivated without ir.
rigation, all of which is now being
irrigated with water developed on the
south end of the Waiahole tunnel. The
cane has made very rapid growth.
and is in fine condition. With the
increased area and an ample supply
of water, which should be at our dis
pcsaI before long, the crop of 1917,
under favorable conditions. ought to
be large one.
Croo 1918. ..,.s.."t.: Ill ~
During the past year, clearing and
blowing of new land for future crops
have gone on steadily. There are
about $500 acres of new land available
below the 650-foot level, most of it
cleared, and about 1900 acres plowed;,
of this area, the whole of which can
be irrigated from the Waiahole ditch
system, we intend planting about 400
acres for the crop OF 1918, and we do
not anticipate any difficulty In getting;
this area under cane in good time;
With these additional 400 acres, the
crop of 1918 should be harvested from
a total area of about $500 acres, which
does not include any areas Of short
ratoons which we may add later.
improvements. -. J..
mo additions have been made to
our mill equipment As it is the in.
tention to enlarge and remodel the
factory for the crop of 1918, nothing
has been done in this department, out
side of ordinary repair work. The in
stallation of Searby Shredder is.
however, contemplated, at the end OF
the present season. .@<.. =. ..
"A steel molasses tank of $4,000 gal
Ions capacity is being built near the
mill in order to provide for the ship
ment of our waste molasses, for the
sale of which we have entered into a
favorable contract with the Mason Dis
tillery Company of San Francisco.
In conclusion | might state, that
in spite of the large expenditures for
permanent improvements, already
mentioned, and further payment OF
$3.50, Cocoon the stock of the Waia
hole Water Co., Ltd, together with
advances to December 31st Of $222.
016.59, / think our assurance in last
years report, that we would be able
to meet all requirements for cost Of
extension, has been fully verified; an
examination of our assets will show
that there is only small decrease in
the accounts mentioned as available
to meet this necessity, and with the
prospect that the crop now being har-
vested should show better results than
last, there is no doubt that we will be
amply able to meet all demands OF
this nature, especially as the crop Of
1917 will commence to bring returns
from our large investments"
