.FEDERALS WILL BE
 USED IN PRESCOTT

Bert Banbury. sales manager for the Geo. H. Reuben Auto company has just returned from a trip to Prescott where he sold. three Federal ton and half trucks This was the first time that the Federal was introduced to that part of the state, but Bert found that the FederaIs remarkable reputation had preceded him.
 Sixty-two and a half per cent of the Federal sales that are made by George II. Reuben Auto company, are orders from satisfied Federal users. In many cases, these Federal users report that they are getting almost twice as much capacity out of their trucks as the list ings call for and that the trucks hold up in fine shape under their extra heavy loads.
 In the new territory around Prescott, the three Federals recently sold are going to be subjected to some very hard usage And it is under these severe tests that the Federal wins it's host of boosters.

AS with the other islands of the Ha-
waiian group so was it with Maui that
sugar cane growing was the first i'm
portant industry to be undertaken on
a large scale, and as it is with the
other Islands so also is it with Maui
that sugar production continues its
greatest industry. In it's sugar indus
try today Maui leads all the ether Is
lands in several respects for it has the
largest producer of raw in Hawaii,
its plantations produce more sugar
each on the average than do those of
any other Isle, il has a plantation
which is increasing its acreage and ex-
panding 81 that in time it is likely
to take second place, a third member
of its group is remarkable for use of
by-products and embarkation into
other lines than sugar, and all in all
it. leads its sisters in thOr5ughECss Of
methods, excellence of equipments
and in results secured.
There are seven sugar plantations
on Maui and the sever average more
than 10000 tons of production this
year although two of them have out
turns of 1000 tons OF less and a third
only about 5000 tons. Such produc-
ton, too, has come in the face of ad-
verse conditions for the Island as a
whole has suffered from dry condi-
tions much of the time since 1917.
Essentially its plantations are irri-
gated and it is from this fact that it
was able t overcome the adverse con-
ditions and to produce more than 1885,
600 tcns of raws in 1920 as compared
with 1891 in 1919 and 1875 in
1918. The largest crop in its history
was in 1915 when 100, 1888 tons were
sent away.
During the present season there
has been experienced n of the
worst and most persistent droughts
the Valley Island has ever known.
Under the best of circumstances it
would be difficult to make anything
like an accurate record of the next
crop in October and weather condi-
lions nov make any attempt at fore
casting futile.
All the larger mills on Maui are
engaged in overhauling the plants anu
making greater or less engagements
and betterments of equipment during
the period between grinds and each
mill presents a busy sight while the
sounds eminating from them are more
suggestive of boiler factories than SUI
gar manufacturing. 1t is safe to say
that in ~recoveries from tons of cane
ground Maui will continue to lead an
other year.
