DROUGHT HAS
NOT DAMAGED
OLAA'S CROP

According to A. w. T. Bottomley OF
Bishop & Co. the 1919 Olaa CROP
has not yet been damaged by drought,
although If the present dry weather
continues there is no telling what
might happen to the yield.
No loss to the crop has been suf-
fered and while the cane tops are a
little yellow on account of insufficient
rainfall, there have been enough small
showers in the vicinity to water the
cane and enable 1t to withstand the
siege to date. 1t may be that the dry
spell will prove benefit to the next
two Olaa crops inasmuch as 1t will
help in the destruction of the leaf
hoppers. .:
The parasite which fights and de.
stroys the leaf hopper thrives in dry
weather and should the drought con-
tinue there is a possibility Of the leaf
hopper being wiped out by the para.
site, or in any case materially reduced
in numbers. Olaa has now about $500
tons to grind and should complete the
work in November, ="
Olaa stock sold as low as SO share
yesterday and the rumor spread that
1t was because of the reports of the
1919 crops having been damaged by

afternoon Captain Hunt took occasion
to instruct the men in the proper
method of lifting wounded soldier.
Instead of calling all of the 100 men
about him, he merely called the leader
of each squad. One man played the
casualty part and the others were
shown how to place him on a litter.
After two or three demonstrations the
squad leaders went hack to their re.
spective commands. In five minutes
every man in the company knew the
method. .....
Practise in rating of fire was given
the candidates by platoons yesterday
afternoon. They were timed by their
platoon commanders and instructed in
the proper speed for 10 shots to the
