Smooth Cayenne" variety.
First Company Organized
The paintings did so well hat the
next step was the organization of the
first pineapple company, the Haiku
Fruit & Packing Co., Ltd, which "a
incorporated late in 1903 with an ini-
tial capital of $25, 000. The officers
were: H. P. Baldwin, president, d. d.
Baldwin, vice-president, D. B. Muir
doch, treasurer, H. A. Baldwin, secre-
tary. w. A. Baldwin was given the
management of the new venture. A
factory building was o o completed
the site of the cannery's present
cannery, and can-making machinery
was installed. There was no a fac
tory then and the Company had to
face the problem of making its w
cans with which to pack its fruit.
This however was done successfully
and continued for ten years when the

summer is not likely. The memorable
rains of 1914 began in March of that
year and continued with hardly a stop
until October.
These "unheard of" rains were the
Waterloo to a number of the new
colony of white settlers who had ia
ken up homesteads in the Haiku dis
e.ict in 1912, and had planted their
lands to ~pineapples. The rains COM
pletely ruined the paintings in many
fields and consequent financial losses
were so great that many abandoned
or sold out their places. A few held
on and have finally benefited through
the turn of the tide.
Many Difficulties Overcome
The Haiku Fruit & Packing Co. en-
countered many difficulties, naturally,
during it's early years,-there were
the skeptical ones and the knockers,
its financial agents withdrew credit
during the crisis of the 1907 panic
nevertheless the company lived thru
it all and prospered, and up to 1911
had paid it's stockholders handsome
dividends. The stock advanced then

BY w. A. BALDWIN

In 1904 Maui produced its first pack
of pineapples consisting of 1,400 cases,
while this year Maui is turning out
about 100000 cases valued at around
$9,500,000. From the small beginnings
at Haiku, the pineapple fields of this
section now extend to Waipio and to
Makawao,-12 miles east and 5 miles
south. Then there are also the ex-
tensive fields at Honolua on West
Maui.
The pineapple industry was started
on Maui through the enterprise of d.
d. Baldwin who began his experiment
tai paintings at Haiku in 1890, paying
as high as 25 cents each for sets" of
several varieties which he bought
from some of the early pineapple pio-
neers of Oahu,-the Jordans, Kidwell,
Camarinos, and others. Encouraged
by his results and with the advice and
backing of D. B. Murdoch and his bro
Their, H. P. Baldwin, he extended his

Strange Words from Herbert Hoover

At last Mr.. Hoover appears to be
giving consideration to conditions in
his own country as well as the rest of
the world. He thinks with our taxes
800 per cent over previous rates there
is no need for drawing on the United
States Treasury for further loans to
Europe. These are strange words
from Mr.. Hoover, but more becoming
to him as an American than constant
appeals for further sacrifices in
Europe's behalf.
