Outlook 0! |! Is. :. Fair T !! ..
For Honey Flow
From Algarobas
Winds Destroyed First Crop of
Season on Oahu, Says Local
Agricultural Expert

Although a week ago it seemed that
the 1916 honey crop of Oahu would be
destroyed, conditions. are now more
favorable, and with a period of good
weather such as is now being expert
enced a fair second crop of honey viii
be obtained, according to Oswald st.
John Gilbert, representative agricul-
turist of the islands and treasurer OF
the Sandwich Islands Honey Conn
pany.
Cold, north winds and hot, dry
konas from the south destroyed the
first crop of algaroba flowers, from
which the largest supply of honey on
Oahu is gathered said Gilbert to,
day, "but a new crop is now on the
trees and honey is commencing 90 to
come in. We didn't take off pound
from the first crop. With good wea,
Their bee men on this island should
get fairly good honey flow"
When the unfavorabIe winds and
weather dried up the nectar in the
algaroba blossoms it was feared by
agriculturists on Oahu that they
would have to feed their bees to keep
the situation is much improved.
Gilbert says the war has compelled
Hawaii agriculturists to ship their
crop to San Francisco instead of to
Germany Before the war began the
island honey was shipped from Ha-
waii to New York direct via the Pa
mama canal in American-Hawaiian
line freighters, and from the metropo-
lis to Germany The war cut off all
that export business, which amounted
to approximately 1000 tons a year.
A letter received Monday by Gilbert
from beekeeper in Cuba says bee
men there are not getting rich, Ow-
ing to poor prices for honey. The let
ter says extracted honey from Cuba
and Porto Rico is selling at Go cents
q gallon. Cuban honey is allowed to
come into the United States free of
duty. but on Porto Rico honey there
is a duty of s cents a gallon. At GO
cents a gallon this means only cents
pound, and when the duty on Porto
Rican honey is considered, leaves the
bee men only 50 cents a gallon for
their crop, hardly Az cents a pound
