Chemical Field Control

TINE suggestion that has been repeatedly made
i that it, would be business proposition to
maintain constant chemical control of the grow
ing cane, takes on new weight in view of errors
in the estimation of crops that have recently come
to public attention. Whenever this recommends
ton has been made, in discussions of the subject
at the annual planters meetings, the objection has
always been raised that the results would not
warrant the expenditure. Although Hawaii has
gone farther towards making practical application
of scientific knowledge than in many lands there
are still weak places in the cultivation system,
and lack of adequate field control seems to be one
OF them.
From the time the cane has been harvested and
enters the mill it is under continuous scientific
observation and measurement. If at any locus
between carrier and bag unusual losses develop
they are at once checked and the machinery re-
adjusted or the methods modified. In the field
there is the mystery which always surrounds living
things be it animals or plants, added to the trad-
tional tallacy that only Providence knows what
THE harvest will be.
T 1t is Human nature to expand the area of an
acre at seeding time, and contract it few thou
sand square feet when yields are being measured.
1t is also extremely human to see ones own crop
through ruby glasses. Neither of these good old
time methods of estimating the outturn of cu-
'tivated lands exactly satisfies the requirements Of
modern business, however.
The German sugar beet factories test, weigh and
measure the growing beets from midsummer until
the crop has been dug and is safely ensoed, and
the condition: of the stored beets is made matter
of exact scientific record right up to the time they
are sliced. The Java planters do practically
the same thing with their growing crops, at least
the best plantations do, At any time in the last
few months before, harvesting they tell within
a very narrow margin Of error how large the crop
is going to be, and can even form an approximate
judgement of whether the juices will be rich or
poor
What has been done in other sugar countries
can be done in Hawaii, and the ACCESSIBILITY of do
ing it will probably not be seriously questioned
the next time this subject is brought up for dis
cussion at the planters meetings. 1t only means
the employment of few more tired scientists and
very slight increase in cost of production, but
is protection against recurrence of undiscounted
errors in estimating the total crop.

There is a wonderful charm in that

of beauty one loses in the well ordered,
carefully planned gardens of the pre-

plumy crest silhouetted against blue
sky. Groups of stately mangoes, just
now laden with bronze-red fruit. Huge
trees from the tropics, the roots of
which rise in strange, corrugated mass

shrubs and vines; in fact, the accumu.

delightfully."- cool spot on hot summer
day, overlooking the shimmering green
cane which, stretches far afield. The
tennis court is another tempting place,
almost lost amid the giant trees.
One of the incest rooms in the house
is the billiard room. 1t is built out
into the garden, an immense, long, wide
apartment, the walls consisting simply
of tiers of windows that can be thrown
up until practically no walls remain.
All sorts of tropical palms and ferus

Mrs. Knudsen loves her Hawaiian
home, although her permanent home
now is at Hollywood California, where
she has built Palatial residence after
the old Spanish style, and lives with her
son, Augustus Knudsen, dean of the

With her accustomed energy Mrs.
Knudsen thoroughly enters into island

and the like, besides attending to the
