HARBOR QUESTION
AT KAPAA NEARS
A SETTLEMENT

If the citizens of the Kapaa home
steads and the neighborhood around
Kapaa keep on with their good work
they will wake up some fine morning
and find an Inter-Island steamer tied
up in their own harbor.
While the Governor and the Board
of Harbor Commissioners are in favor
of harbor at this place, the Board is
not quite sure that II would be advis-
able at this time for them to spend a
great amount of money on the pro-
posed harbor.
They wish, however, to have a pub
lie meeting arranged in the very near
future, at their. offices in Honolulu, so
that all interested can gather together
and to determine whether or not it
would be wise to expend large sum
of money, which will have to be spent,
if the proposed harbor is built
The reason for this public hearing
primarily came about through the re-
ports from a number of experienced
seamen who have been on the run to
this port for a number of years and
some of them do not recommend the
expenditure of large sum of money
for the improvements as have been
recommended and discussed at various
times relative to establishing a har-
Dor at Kapaa
1t would be a wise plan for these
residents of Kapaa and vicinity, and
also all the residents of Kauai, who
are interested in this harbor move
ment, to hold public meeting and at
this meeting appoint a committee to
go to Honolulu and be present at this
meeting of the Board of Harbor Com
misioners, so that they might be able
to present their arguments for this
harbor to good advantage.
A harbor at Kapaa would be a very
good thing for the residents of that
neighborhood and the only way in
which they can get one is to go after
it and keep going till they do get It,

Grove Farm Chemist is
Called to the Colors

G. r. Haddock, chemist for the
Grove Farm Plantation has been cal
led to the colors and left for Homo
lulu last Saturday night on the Kinau
to take his examinations. Mr.. Had
dock, if he passes these examinations,
and leaves us for good, will be great
ly missed from the circles of the young
folks as he was al great favorite
among this set. There is no doubt
but that the Government will find
something for him to do in the re-
search department as he is a first
class chemist and has had much ex-
perience in the world of sugar, al
though he is only a very young man.
He was connected with some of the
larger beet sugar refineries on the
mainland before coming to the Islands
a couple of years ago to join the staff
at the Experimental Station in Homo
lulu. Since that time Mr.. Haddock has
been on one of the plantations of Haw.
ali, where he was registered as a
draftee, and came from there to the
Grove Farm as their chemist, where
he has given universal satisfaction
and good service.

This prospective yield is several
thousand bags in excess of the 1917
crop. This is not the result OF an
increased production per acre, but is
due to the fact that there are about
$50 acres under cultivation for rice
this year that were devoted to other
crops or were unproductve last year.
Much of this years crop has already
been harvested, but the bulk of the
harvest still remains in the fields and
much of the rice has only recently
been planted. Therefore the estimate
has been made as conservative as pos
5ible, and if we should have a good
rice season. much larger crop than
5000 bags might be expected.
The increase in acreage over last
ears figures would demonstrate that
he rice planters are satisfied with the
present price of rice as fixed by the
Territorial Food Commission.
There is a universal complaint
tmong the rice planters regarding the
scarcity of labor and the high rate
Ie had the yield of rice could prob
bly, be raised about IS per cent with
)ut increasing the present area under
cultivation. This increase in proiuc-
tion would be brought aboIt by rais
ny two crops per year on all of the
rice area instead of raisin- only ore
crop per year, as is the case IN many
places where labor is scarce. How
ever double cropping does not in
crease the yield as mach as might be
expected, because land that will pro.
duce 20 bags of rice per acre on
one crop basis will yield two IS bag
arOps per year or only 80 bags per
ear Oh two crop per year basis.
This year only about so per cent of
he rice acreage on Kauai is being
louble cropped, largely because of the
scarcity of labor and the hight rate
Of wages demanded.
1t has been said that IN the past
much of the Kauai rice had been ship.
ped to Honolulu comm .ssiOn merch-
ants, later to be sent back to Kauai re,
alters. This bad practice will prob
.bly be aUtoma tically abolished this
.ear due to the 50 cents per bag limit
f profit allowed the dealer in rice.
.nter-Island freight rates viii pro-
libit this practice, making it an un-
profitable transaction.
The 5000 bag crop ought to be sufh-
cient to supply everybody on Kauai
with two bags of rice for the year.
but suppos'ng that the average full
rown oriental requires bags per
Tear end allowing that the average
Whites, Hawaiians and small Oriental
| children will not require two bags per
'ear it hardly appears that there will
be a great deal of rice to send TO
Honolulu from Kauai. If much Kauai
rice does eventually get to the Homo
lulu market il will represent an almost
| equal importation of Japanese rice to
Kauai. At times when every bit of
cargo space on Inter-Island boats is
in demand for shipping sugar and
| pines to Honolulu, is it practical to
allow Kauai rice to occupy such cargo
space if the rice can be consumed
! locally
