Kahuiui Railroad
First In Islands
To Have Charter

1t is not generally known that Ka-
hului Railroad is the oldest in the
group. Looking back into its records
it is seen they extend into the monar-
chial days. Its charter vas granted
on the first day of July, 1881, and it
was to operate between Kahului and
Waikiki and to Waikapu, Waihee and
Maalaea. The charter was amended in
1889. Since then it has been extended
into East Maui and now connects up
the seaport with Haiku Fruit Com
pany and will be connected up with
Pauwela Cannery, it is expected, Civ
ing transportation accommodations to
Puunene, Spreckelsville, Paia, Hama
kuapokO, Haiku and Waikiki.
The company was purchased from
its early owners by the Wilder Steam
ship Company which later was Undue
ed to sell it to the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Co.
II. p. Baldwin and associates with
fine foresight into the future took up
the improvement of Kahului harbor
and extensive dredging operations and
a $1,000 breakwater were results.
That was afterwards ceded to the gov
eminent which continued the improve
ment.
A remarkable thing about the rail
road is that it has not been conducted
as a dividend payer and all it's earn
ings have gone into extensions, i'm
provements and betterments. Another
remarkable thing is that it reduces
freight rates without demand when it
sees that the business of its custom
ers demand it, as in the case of the
slump of sugar prices. Rates were
raised when expenses were high and
sugar prices also were, but were re-
duced when lower prices prevailed.
William Walsh is superintendent of
the road.

case did the extreme top eye, miss.
On the whole, the fourth to the

AT the time the selection for plant,
ing in the progeny est area was made
it was noted that the stools arising
from sticks taken from uniform stools
were on the whole better than those
from sticks taken from irregular stools
but the position of the eye on the
stick had no effect on the size of the
stool arising from it. Seed from six

oldest on the plantation, and is heavily
infested with nut-grass.
Data were taken IN number and
relative length and diameter of sticks
and position of the stools in the field,
as regards bitches and water-courses.
Brix readings of juice samples from
each stick were made with the re-
fractometer. Each stick of each stool
was hen cut for seed, and planted in
the Hamakuapoko Seeding nursery in
the upper parts of selections 8 and 8.
The seed-pieces of each progeny
were sorted out according to the num-
Der of eyes on each and those of a
like number of eyes planted together.
These seed-pieces were spaced about
10 inches apart in the row, with a
larger space separating the series of
four-eye cuttings, for instance, from
the ~three-eye series. A space of Pc
feet separated progenies.
SingIe-Eye Seed
Experiment S 3-On June 8. IL
sticks of plant H-109 and 6 of ration
Lahaina cane were cut, data being
taken on the degree of uniformity of
the stool and the absolute size of the
stick. These sticks were then cut in
to single-eye seed pieces, according
to the second method mentioned
above. Each eye of each stick was
planted, the pieces being spaced nine
inches apart and arranged in the order
of their occurrence on the stick. This
experiment was planted in the upper
! part of section 7, Hamakuapoko seed
ling nursery.
Experiment S 4-Ten small, scrub
by sticks of H-109 were chosen from
very irregular stools. The other sticks
I of the stools, while generally of mix
ed sizes, were always larger than the
stick chosen. These sticks were cut
into normal sized seed pieces and
planted in the upper part of section
Z.
Uniformity of Stool
Experiment S 5-This experiment
was designed to test the comparative
value of selecting uniformly large
stools for seed, as against selecting
large sticks regardless of the type OF
stool from which they are taken. In
the stools selected, the sticks, always
six or more in number, were OF a uni
form size.
The single sticks taken as a check
were of the same size as those in the
uniform stools, but were taken from
very irregular stools. Not more than
one stick was taken from any one OF
these irregular stools, while in The uni,
form stools, all the sticks were taken,
Each stick was cut up into seed
pieces, body seed being used as in the
previous experiments. Planted in
alternate lines in the lower part OF
section 7. The ane was one-yeaI

Experiment S Con June SO, a
large amount of one-year plant HOS
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-10-10

was selected and cut from Field 91C,
Waikiki Sugar Company. The stools
chosen, none of which had less than
six sticks, were all uniform. That is,
the sticks in a given stool were all of
approximately the same size, the
variation in diameter being negligible.
The length. of course, varied with the
age of the stocks. The stools were,
naturally, not absolutely uniform with
each other, some being composed of
smaller sticks than others, but an at
tempt was made to get stools which
were approximately uniform with each
other.
The sticks were generally large,
above the average for HOO of this
age. This cane was planted on June
9 in Field SO, Waikiki Sugar Com
pany. The plot was intended to serve
as an observation test, or as a seed
plot if the quality of the mi was
markedly better than that of the rest
of the field. 1t was not a progeny
planting.

The entire stool was used for seed.
Studying the Results
In 1921 data were taken by Mr.. Moir
on the 1920 experiments al follows;
Experiment S Tremendous Yari-
ations were noted in the %progenies of
the several stools planted, the differ
ences in tonnage of cane in some
cases being over 2OOa5. Two of these
progenies yielded very heavily. Seed
was taken from these two progenies
as a whole, and planted in a progeny
test area next to the seeding nursery
at Hamakuapoko.
Stools We're selected from 16 of
the other ~progenies, the remaining %
progenies being discontinued. Cata

plantation seed. AS in the case of FIX.
pertinent S 6, each stool chosen was
composed of uniform sticks, but the
stools were not necessarily uniform
with each other, although they were
as nearly so as possible.
This was planted June Is in Field
95, w. S. Co. AS there was neither
sufficient seed nor sufficient space
available to lay out IN experiment on

seed and the seed furnished by the

that from selected stools was top,
body and butt seed mixed.

the selected seed consisted of top,

Jurisdiction experiments the re-
suits of which are bound to be OF
great direct benefit to the Central
Maui plantations, and of general in
terest to all practical cane growers
throughout the islands, have been
carried on since 1919 by William w.
G.. Moir and E. l.. Caum. Their report
to the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Ex-
pertinent Station contains so many
points bearing on the improvement OF
crops by selection that it is worth the
study of other than cane planters.
The experiments had their begin
ming in 1919 when H. D. Sloggett, then
overseer If the Hamakuapoko section
of the Maui Agricultural Company,
cut a number of eyes of H-109 cane,
choosing large eyes from big sticks.
These eyes were germinaCed in pots
made from shingles and on May II, 5O
were set out in Field 4, NJ. A. Co.,
spaced about a foot apart i'll the row.
These plants were not given any
special treatment, being handled un-
der the normal plantation method.
Moir's Idea
In January, 1920, at Mr.. Molr's sug-
gestion, about 1925 more single eyes
of H-1O9 were cut and started, greater
care being taken in choosing large
parent sticks from several STOOLS. 1t
should be- noted here that these single
I'VE cuttings were made by simply
gouging out the eye without destroy
ing the stick, which was left standing.
In later work this method was chang
ed, the stick being cut up into pieces
each bearing one eye.
In the middle of April, 100 of these
plants were set u in the seeding
nursery at Hamakuapoko, spaced 21a
feet apart in the row. The other 20
or so plants had died.
On May %, Moir and Caum cut the
forty stools remaining from Mr.. Slog,
gett's original planting of so, taking
data on number of sticks, suckers and
shoots per stool, relative size, and
Vigor of growth.
Seed from these stools was planted
in the Hamakuapoko Seeding nursery
in the lower halves of sections ) and
&. The seed was planted end TO end
with an 1S-inch space between pro
genies. In every case each stick OF
each stool was cut for seed, the en-

Refining the Selections

Experiment S differences were
noted between progenies as regards
type of growth and uniformity of
stand, as well as in the comparative
value of the p%rOgenics as d whole.
Stools were selected from six of these
for planting in the progeny lest ga,
the other four being discontinued.
These were all good stools from good
progenies, differing in this respect
from those chosen from Experiment
S l, which in some cases were good
stools from mediocre progenies.
Spacing the seed seemed to have
a tendency to induce stooling. AS a
general rule only two or at most three
eyes per seed piece terminated, in
dicating that there is no advantage in
the use of seed pieces with a greater
number of eyes. Correlated with this
there is a disadvantage in the un-
necessary amount of cane planted.
These progenies also were allowed to
ration.
Butt or Top Seed
Experiment S Sin this planting
only 20 eyes of the 1856 planted fail
ed to terminate, a failure of less than
SO. These 20 failures were scatter,
ed throughout the length of the sticks,
being grouped neither neal the butts
nor the tops. In only two cases did
