COFFEE CROP GOOD
BUT LABOR SCARCE,
SAYS HIL0 REPORT

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondenee)
HILO, August 31.-That the coffee
crop in Kona is a wonderful one, but
that the necessary labor for picking
the b1rri2S' IS not to be obtained, is
the story brought back from the other
side of the island by Hilo business
man who has been in the Konas for a
few days. -"
81 never saw such heavy CROP" de-
clares the Hilo man, why the
branches are borne down to the
ground by the weight of the berries.
The whole district appears to have a
bumper crop and the sight is beauti-
IEl enc.
Il was told that pickers are scarce
and that the low price paid for ber-
ries just now makes it difficult for
the growers to pay any wages that
could ATTRACT the right kind OF berry
pickers." ..
Kona is reported to have had some
rains and everything looks green and
fresh. To the people of that district
it seems strange that while the price
of almost every other commodity has
gone skyward, coffee has not changed
much in cost.
