SUGAR CROP OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS 



Statements from the Sugar Factors Co. 

 (Ltd.), which handles and ships the output 

 of the major number of sugar corporations 

 in the Hawaiian Islands, indicate that the 

 value of the 1917 crop, based on an estimated 

 output of 643,620 tons, at the current market 

 price of sugar will be $79,165,600. The 

 value of the 1916 crop was $68,000,000. 



Prior to last year the cost of production 

 of Hawaiian sugar, per short ton, was being 

 cut down through steady development in 

 efficiency. Now, however, very largely on 



account of the heavy bonuses paid to laborers, 

 the cost shows a marked increase. During 

 the last period more than $4,000,000 was paid 

 to laborers on the bonus plan. This is based 

 on the price of sugar. As the planter profits, 

 so do the laboreres. 



The increased use of commercial fertilizers 

 has been evident on the sugar plantations 

 during the past five years. The quantity 

 of commercial fertilizers used in 1917 will 

 total approximately 85,000 tons. Five years 

 ago, in 1913, the amount was 62,213 tons.—
