NEW ORLEANS BUYER
LEAVES AMERICAN CO..

NEW ORLEANS, La, July s.
Lewis A. Scherck, for over ten years
raw sugar buyer for the American
Sugar Refining Company here, has
severed his connection with that cor
poration for the purpose of engaging
IN the sugar business independently.
His resignation came as a distinct
surprise to members of the sugar eX.
change. j. A. Pierson, who has been
connected with the American in its
general supply purchasing department
at New Orleans, will succeed Mr..
Scherck. says Facts About Sugar.
Mr.. Scherck has been in the employ
OF the American for many years, and
since Mr.. Witherspoon became inca
pacitated, through illness about two
years ago, Mr.. Scherck had direct
charge of ali sugar purchases made by
the American in the New Orleans
market
Last season Mr.. Scnerck represent
ed the American On the committee Of
three named at the Chicago confer
ence to handle the $4,000 ton sale of
Louisiana sugars. 1t was the duty
of this committee to apportion this
amount among the various producers
Of the state and settle any questions
concerning tests. The way In which
Mr.. Scherck discharged his duties in
that connection won for him the admi
ration of sugar men generally through
out Louisiana.

cane in Hawaii is d twO-year crop,
requiring an average Of Fl months
for its maturity, while in Cuba and
many other cane countries a crop is
taken off every year.
LAS a result of these combinations
the cost Of producing sugar in Hawaii
and transporting it to the United
States, according to the figures given
in the report. was approximately a
cent a pound higher in 1914 than the
cost of producing and marketing
Cuban sugar.
THE removal or appreciate reduc-
ton Of the present tariff rate, there
fore, would make it impossible for
Hawaii to compete under normal con.
ditions in the only market open to :.
The present duty falls far short OF
covering the difference between costs
Of production in Cuba and in Porto
Rico and Louisiana, as the expenses
of production in the two latter are
higher than in Hawaii. This is an
effective answer to the claim that the
domestic cane industry does not need
the protection afforded by the Gus
toms duty in periods Of low prices.
Another interesting point brought
out by the report is the preponderant
position OF sugar production among
the Industries of Hawaii. In the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, the value
of exported sugars and its DyprodrC Is
was IS per cent Of the total value OF
all agricultural products exported Of
the remaining Is per cent plneapples
formed by far the larger part. An ex-
tensive quotation from a report made
to Governor Pinkham in 1915 on the
agricultural resources of the territory
shows that no other crop is available
to take the place Of sugar.
I'm view of the Importance to the
people of the United States Of pro-
ducing every possible pound Of sugar
from our own soil it is fortunate
thing that American enterprise and
ingenuity have combined to bring the
sugar industry in this small group
of Pacific islands to its present high
state Of efficiency so that from an
area about equal to that of Massa-
chusetts it produces more thar one
seventh Of all the sugar consumed by
the American people. No stronger
argument for the preservation and
continued encouragement of the do
nestle sugar industry can be present
ed sthan is contained in the results
obtained In this one field"

SUGAR JOURNALS Commend Hawaii
growers FOR AIDING j, 5. REPORT

Relative to the department Of CON-
merce's report on the sugar indus
try Of Hawaii, Facts About Sugar OF
July z has the following edit>rial COM
ment to offer:
The report on the cane sugar in
dustry just published by the depart
ment Of commerce contains The most
extensive statistical study of sugar
production in Hawaii that has been
made by the federal government. Ap-
proximately one-half the report ID de-
voted to the sugar industry Of this
one territory. As the authors Of the
report points out, the books and rec
crdB Of the plantations we're thrown
open to them and every bit of avail
able information relating to every
phase OF sugar production was placed
at their disposal. This action fol-
lowed the consistent policy of the
Hawaiian sugar producers Of giving
full publicity to their operations and
cooperating with the governmental
authorities in ascertaining essential
facts and conditions governing sugar
production. The elaborate records
kept by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
association and the arrangements of
the various plantations made II pos
sible to compile unusually complete
statistical tables showing various Gle
ments entering into the cost OF pro-
ductton.
1.-THE most striking general conclus-
ion is to be drawn from the facts set
forth In the report that, the planters
of Hawaii, working with q soil of no
exceptional natural fertility and con-
tending against many unfavorable
conditions, have been able. by the
thoroughgoing application Of the most
scientific methods, of cultivation and
milling, to raise their industry TO a
plane OF efficiency unexcelled in any
other part Of the world.
Tn the application Of scientific
methods and in the securing of re.
suits, says the report. the cane sugar
industry Of the Hawaiian islands will
bear comparison with any agricul-
tural or mechanical industry in the
United States
an the average yield Of cane per
acre and Of sugar per ton Hawaii
leads Cuba and the other cane grow
Ing sections of the United States. On
the other hand the costs Of fertillzing,
irrigating, planting, cultivating and
harvesting are all higher in Hawaii
than in any Of these sections. Sugar

years annual report Of the San Carlos
Milling Company covers a period Of
eighteen months ending December 81,
1916, and shows a most prosperous
situation
The capacity of the mill has been
increased from 600 to 1000 tons Of
cane per day, the new machinery be-

crop, and sufficient cane was avail
able to run the mill to its full capacity,
with the exception Of but So days
lost through lack of cane and 1012
days shut down for repairs, with a to-
tai of $50 days of actual milling.
Owing to the serious shortage OF
cargo space to America, 1920 tons OF
raw sugar were sold 20 japanese
agents early in the year, but later
easier freight rates permitted ship
ping the balance of the output to San

For 1916 the acreage under contract
to the company was 1886 acres and

LULL IN REAL
ESTATE IS DUE
TOOFF SEASON

The lull in the real estate business
in Honolulu which has been notice
able during the past few weeks Is
reported by realty agents to be the
natural order at this time of the year
and has very little to do with condl-
tions arising from the war.
The summer and vacation months
have been always a poor time to sell
land here, it is said, and in looking
back over the records a slowing up
in the realty business in July and
August is noted every year.
According to real estate agents
there is plenty of land for sale, but
it is extremely difficult to awaken
interest among the buyers. The re-
cent activity of stocks. listed on the
yellow sheet. is also said by some
to be partly responsible. The record
of sale at the bureau Of conveyance
which several months ago ran from
10 to Is daily now number scarcely
over five or six. Monday there were
but three.
