lew committee reports proceeded to

dron, head of F. A. Schaefer & Co.,
was elected president; J. NJ. Dowsett,
Vlce-president, and J. X Butler and G..

and treasurer, respectively
In addressing the meeting e. Faxon
Bishop, the retiring president, ex-
pressed his confident belief that con
gress will. act to relieve the labor
shortage along the lines that have
been asked. He emphasized the fact
that Hawaii has been more fortunate
than any other portion of the world
in the extent to which ii has been af-
fected by readjustment and the conse-
quent business depression.
Hawaifs crop has been the smallest
in ten years, Bishop said, and gave
statistical figures of $40, ,146 tons for
the period from September 80 1920,
to September 80, 1921. The falling off
was due to delay in harvesting owing
OF the labor shortage. How serious
will be the effect of such labor short
age on future crops remains to be
seen.
The price of raws has also been dis
astrously low, the upheaval of the
sugar market having produced chao-
tic state not only in Hawaii but in
every cane growing country in the
world. The operating basis has been
high as has been costs of labor and
material resulting from the war "and
the higher prices Of last year were
conducive to make our business los
ing game"
One of the interesting reports pre-
sented early in the session was on re-
forestration r. A. Hutchinson of Lau-
pahoehoe plantation said the very ex-
istence of the sugar industry about
HilO is threatened by decreased water
supply and immediate steps are neces-
sary to prevent further destruction of
the forests else the Hilo district would
be in as dry state as the Hamakua
coast.
H. B. Penhallow of Wailuku planta-
ton, speaking on the same subject
told of tree planting on the lower
slopes of Haleakala and in the West
Maui mountains and a survey of con-
ditions was recently made by DR..
Lyon, He said that any attempt to
reforest would be failure until
fences are made tight and cattle kept
below them
Manager Penhallow blamed mixers
for considerable damage to forests and
said in their misdirected zeal they
made small trails which grew into ra-
vines and caused landslides, when
rains came, that carried away all veg
citation with them.
