CROP IS POOR,
PROFITS GOOD

Although the report Of Manager
James Campsie of the Paauhau Sugar
Plantation Company. made public at
the annual meeting on March In
San Francisco. said the sugar yield
of the plantation in 1916 was very
disappointing. still the output OF raw
sugar aggregated 1887 tons. This
means recovery OF 323 tons per
acre only, the cane never having fully
recovered from the setback it receiv-
ed in 1914 due to unfayorable weather
conditions.
Manager Campsie estimates this
years production at 10000 tons. Har-
vesting commenced in January and is
proceeding fayoFahly Concerning this
crrs Manager Campsie reports as
follows:
This crop. made a good growth I'M
til June, 1916, when ii suffered to
some extent by the dry weather eX-
perienced from that month until Sep
TENDER The rainfall for that period
only averaged 2.44 inches per month
on the lower lands and 266 inches at
the 900-foot level.
Outlook For 1918 Crop
The acreage planted with cane COR.
1918 production comprises 2163 Is
acres, and Manager Campsie reports
as follows concerning the crop for that
year:
This crop is looking we'll and. al
though not quite as far advanced as
the 1917 crop was at this time last
year, is in good shape to go through
the winter. Fields No. 90 and No. "a,
which are plant cane, suffered from
the severe storm of April last, but
have recovered from this and are
promising well. The lower fields had
their growth retarded this past sum-
mer by the lack of moisture during
the months when it was most required.
However. since the recent rains these
fields have taken on good color and
are making rapid growth AS will
be noticed, the area of this crop is
smaller than usual owing to the with
drawal of about 1888 acres of govern
ment land for demonstrating purposes.
At present 43S acres of this area is
fallow and the balance will be turned
over to the government upon the 1917
cane being harvested.
1916 Profitable Year
Total receipts for 1916 aggregated
S969,577, of which $S55,777 represents
the net proceeds from sales of sugar
The average price realized on the
company's sugar last year was $109.20
a ton. Expenses and betterments in
1916 account for $659,435 of total funds
amounting to s1.21S,700. -
In addition to paying out $500, 900
in dividends. or 81 share, in 1916,
the directors invested 3.971 of the
corporate funds in first-class bonds,
as a reserve for emergencies. The
net profits carried to surplus account
last year were $250,S39. =
The following directors were reflect
ed yesterday: William Matson. Hen

SUPPLY OF PRODUCE.

Some confirmed pessimists are CIV
ing out the idea that the garden move
ment may, be overdone, resulting in
unreasonab1y low prices. Also it
would be terrible if the world should
come to an end before next fall, and
prevent the crops from being harvest
ed.
That there can be an over-supply of
substantial foods next winter seems
beyond the range of possibility. The
food production of our allies is stead
lily falling off, owing to the increased
number of men who are serving as
soldiers and the scarcity of fertilizers.
They will take an enormous amount
of farm products if we can only sell
them at decent prices.
Furthermore farm help in this coun-
try has constantly been growing
scarcer. This year had there been no
effort to mobilize boys and other help
ers, the farmers would have been left
almost single handed.
The emergency labor supply now be-
ing gathered will hardly do more
than supply the gap created by the
labor shortage of the past few years.

CONFEDERATE
MEMORIAL DAY

In South Carolina May 10, the an
niversary of the day of the death of
Gen. Stonewall Jackson, will be OBJ
served as Memorial day when, with
fitting ceremony, flowers will be laid
on the graves of the honored heroes
of the Confederacy The ceremonies
of the day will follow closely those
observed by other southern states on
April 20, which is also celebrated as
Memorial day in many parts of the
South. for April 20 is the anniversary
of the day upon which Gen. Joseph
e. Johnston made the Souths last
surrender. Flowers play a conspicu-
Gus part in the ceremonies of the
southern memorial day, as they do in
the north. The south is fortunate
in being able to observe the anniver-
sary earlier than the north because
in the warm climate the flowers
bloom so much earlier.

Reuther volunteered to play first

him to the first sack and Dutch play
ed it like a veteran. At the same
time his batting eye has kept up it's

took over Fred Merkle for the work

Crop Hale Predicts

Hartford, May 10.-Connecticut will
produce this year the largest fruit
crop in her history, according to a
statement of John H. Hale, the Glas-
tonbury peach king, made yesterday.
While the continued cold weather has
retarded the advancement of the fruit
this fact will have a large tendency to
produce an enormous crop. Peach
and apple trees should have been in
full bloom 10 days ago but are just
starting to bud, Indicating that the
fruit will be plentiful although late.

Ed. Barrow, President
Of international, Is
Veteran Of Baseball

Edward Grant Barrow. president of
the International league. was born at
Springfield, ILL.,, on May IL, 1868,
and you might say that he was born
to be associated with baseball From
the very earliest he has been an en-
thusiast and in late years has been
one of the staunchest upho1ders of
organized baseball. Ed admits him
self that he never was very much at
playing the game himself but as a
leader in the affairs of the national
pastime he has certainly made his
mark.
Barrow's first experience as a base
ball manager and team owner came
in 1888 when he ran an independent
team in Des Moines, Ia, known as
the Stars. Barrow was active in bus
mess in Pittsburgh and other cities
until 1894 when he helped George
Moreland launch the Interstate lea

dent. Hans Wagner played his first
