Sugar and Plantation News
INTERESTING POINTS
WORTH CONSIDERING.

Some interesting studies on the re-
lation Of distance between labor camps
aud fields and the value OF land have
been made by an old plantation hand,
showing how these factors affect prof.
it's. The time that is Lost passing back
and forth between camps aud distant
fields must be charged against the
earning power of the land.
The proposition may be stated in
this way, that IL it costs 81 per acre
in lost time, to 60 to a far field, and
II the interest rate, is Ave per cent,
then field adjoining the labor camp
Is worth $40 more per acre. Here Is
o factor in cost of production that is
often overlooked when men are fgur.
ing the basic rate at which sugar can
be made.
Cultivation, fertilizers, satisfactory
mill equipment and good management
all have a bearing on the problem, but
loss of time and energy by the labor
ers when they have to go long dis
tances to their work has very i'm
pOrtnnt influence when comparisons are
made between the earning capacity Of
two plantations where land and acre
age are about the same.

White Sugar Textbook

"Practical White Sugar Manufac

This volume contains complete detail
ed practical accounts of the manufac.
ture of white sugars, including the me

FRENCH SUGAR BEET AREA
WILL BE MUCH REDUCED

. journal des Fabrieants de Sucre,
dated Paris, April 20, 1916, says the
weather has been far from spring, like,
and the average daily temperature has
remained considerably below normal
The sun has shone at rare intervals
and rain and wind, often violent and
Geld, have been general. Owing to this
and insufficient labor, agricultural work
is behind.
The agricultural society Of France
has again demanded, with great insis-
lance, that all the labor not indispen-
sable for the war should be available
for agriculture, and that Territorial
Army reservists acquainted with farm
ing, who, at the moment, fill the depots
should be employed in field work dur
ing the most busy period just com
mencing; and besides that, the prison
ers of war during this time may be ex
clusively engaged in similar work.
With regard to beetrOot cultivation,
it is important to decide quickly the
question of labor. From the circular
of the minister of agriculture dated
April 10, addressed to the projects, it
appears that the agreements between
manufacturers and farmers indicate, to
that date, an area considerably less
than that sown in 1915. No doubt the
final result will depend in a large de-
gree upon the facilities that will be
given to the farmers for thinning and
hoeing.

lahaina Disease Again

f. X. Bull, manager of Oahu Sugar
Company, considers that there is some,
thing uncanny about the Lahaina dis
ease of cane. He has one field that
has never been replanted since the
plantation was first laid out in 1897,
nineteen years ago. Every crop har-
vested during this period has yielded
over nine tons of sugar per acre, the
1916 cane recently ground having av-
eraged up to it's usual form.
This field has never shown any signs
Of Lahaina disease. Fields on all four
sides had the same record until they
were turned over and replanted when
Lahaina disease became more or less
continuously in evidence in all of them.
~ am afraid to replant for fear of
breaking the combination, he told
some Of his guests at Kipapa, Satur-
daY.

nation is still insisting on fighting to
the last. The French wish to crush the
mistaken idea of Prussian militarism
and to entirely destroy it. 1t is true
