Veiw of Central Hershey Sugar Mill from the Distance 



Hawaii 



Hawaii has the largest sugar cane har- 

 vest in eight years, according to the United 

 States Department of Agriculture. Sugar 

 cane was cut from 124,000 acres in the 

 sugar year ended September 30, 1922, or 

 nearly 7,000 acres more than the eight- 

 year average. 



Production of 1,184,000,000 pounds of 

 cane sugar during the year ended Septem- 

 ber 30, 1922, is indicated in reports from 

 Hawaiian sugar mills. This is 13 per cent 

 more than in 1921, and a larger production 

 than the average for ten years past. 



Nearly all the sugar produced in Hawaii 

 is shipped to continental United States. 



The total area of sugar cane in Hawaii 

 in 1922 was 229,000 acres, or 16,000 acres 

 less than the average for the eight years. 

 Inasmuch as Hawaiian sugar cane usually 

 is not harvested until it makes more than 

 a year's growth, the total area is about 

 double the harvested acreage in an average 

 year, it is pointed out. The average 

 for the eight-year period is nearly 208 

 per cent of the harvested area, but in the 

 year ended September 30, 1922, the total 

 acreage was only 185 per cent of the 

 harvested area that year.
