VIRGIN OAHU LAND is SUBJECT OF
VARIETY AND FERTILIZATION TESTS

irrigation until one hundred and fifty
pounds Of nitrogen per acre has beer
applied. This is TO be compared with
cane that Is to receive the same amount
Of nitrogen in four separate applica.
tions.
Another experiment is one TO deter
mine the amount of fertilizer TO apply
the plots receiving from nothing up
to 375 pounds Of nitrogen per acre.
Reverted phosphate VS.. super phos,
hate is to be decided upon in one ex.
pertinent, and the required amount OF
potash and phosphoric acid that sugar
cane needs for maximum growth is
the object of another experiment.
Lime and Gypsum Trials
The last experiment in the group Is
in regard TO the use of lime and gyp-
sum. Lime at the rate Of two thou
sand pounds per acre was applied in
the fdrrow before planting. The gyp.
sum was applied in the same way but
at the rate Of four thousand pounds per
acre. III. III
In the other section there are two
experiments on variety tests, one com
pairing Lahaina with II LAG, and the
other is a comparison Of Lahaina with
Badila, which promises to be interest
ing as Badila is cane with some
peculiarities and many good qualities.
The necessity of adding potash to q
cane crop has always been question
able. 49,. d"
Plant Food Requirements .... .."
One Of the experiments there on
plant food requirements ought to help
TO decide the question.
Some of the plots are to receive
a full course meal of nitrogen, phos-
phorus and potash, and some are served
with one and two of the elements while
others receive none. 80. .g..,.
In what form nitrogen is most ae-
ceptable to the cane is the object of
one of these experiments and another
will attempt TO show whether the cane
prefers its added plant food in four
equal meals or In one large meal or
possibly two equal feelings. -.
The advantage Of reverted phosphate
over acid phosphate and complete fer
tilis'er over nitrogen only, are two
other facts TO be determined.
The effect Of the application of coral
sand at the rate of six tons to the
acre is to be studied. f.... "
Work Is fundamental Il .-.a-. "a.
There is coordination test also, to
show the results Of soaking seed before
planting, and the advantage of hot Oh

.REDUCI|ONP Plant
FOR PINES Waste.
Honolulu Iron Works lnstalIs Old
Sugar Machinery At
KaIihi

The installation Of pineapple waste
reduction plant made up of overhauled
parts of old sugar mill machinery is
about completed at the Libby, McNeill
& Libby factory at Kalihi. The plant
is designed to lessen the cost of in
cineration Of the pineapple waste.
The reduction process Isl accom-!
plished by means of two, three roller
mills, a dryer and O furnace equipped
with oil burners.
The plant is being installed by the
Honolulu Iron Works and r. Renton
Hind who Is in charge of the work
gives the following description Of the
machinery:
To Start Next Month
1.-THE new Libby incinerater which
may properly be called a pineapple
waste reduction plant will be ready to
begtn operations about the first of
February
at consists Of one IL by 80 slide
valve engine, train Of gears, one 80
by "a inch three roller mill and one 80
by go inch three roller mill.
"The mills were secured in the Ko-
hala district on. Hawaii where they
have been in use for many years in
sugar factories.
Rollers Specially Grooved
"The rollers are all grooyed to suit
the new conditions and the machinery
has been entirely oyerhauled here at
the iron works.
at is interesting to note that the
engine was built by Mirrlees, TAFT &
Watson in Glasgow in 1877 and has
seen continuous service since that date.
The cylinder has never been bored and
is today in perfect condition. This is
a pretty good indication of the work
mSnship of the old Scotch sugar mill
manufacturers, little of whose machin.
cry is found here today. ...s I@.s
"The pineapple waste is brought
from the eanneTy by an endless carrier
to the mills, each mill being provided
with force feeders. @ WA
Double Burner Furnace
'sft is expected that the moisture
content of the waste will be reduced to
between sixty and seventy per cent.
From the mills this. waste will pass
through an Allis. Chalmers rotary dry
err, five feet in diameter by fifty feet in
length. At the discharge end Of the
dryer is a double burner furnace of
new design. e " n Ata.'t'N,lt,.... .,......

used to supply heat for the drying of

''The lower furnace is fitted with an
incline set Of CRATE bars, modelled after
sugar mill practice and an oil fame
will be utilized to aid the combustion
of the waste. 4
"The crushing plant is housed in
new building and is equipped with an
overhead travelling crane able TO handle
any part of the crushing machinery
1t is understood that the juice from
the pineapple waste will not be used
for the present but may later enter into
the canning process. ~ a-;
