Book excerpt: From King Cane to the Last Sugar Mill focuses on the technological and scientific advances that allowed Hawai'i's sugar industry to become a world leader and Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) to survive into the twenty-first century. The authors, both agricultural scientists, offer a detailed history of the industry and its contributions, balanced with discussion of the enormous societal and environmental changes due to its aggressive search for labor, land, and water. Sugarcane cultivation in Hawai'i began with the arrival of Polynesian settlers, expanded into a commercial crop in the mid-1800s, and became a significant economic and political force by the end of the nineteenth century. Hawai'i's sugar industry entered the twentieth century heralding major improvements in sugarcane varieties, irrigation systems, fertilizer use, biological pest control, and the use of steam power for field and factory operations. By the 1920s, the industry was among the most technologically advanced in the world. Its expansion, however, was not without challenges. Hawai'i's annexation by the United States in 1898 invalidated the Kingdom's contract labor laws, reduced the plantations' hold on labor, and resulted in successful strikes by Japanese and Filipino workers. The industry survived the low sugar prices of the Great Depression and labor shortages of World War II by mechanizing to increase productivity. The 1950s and 1960s saw science-driven gains in output and profitability, but the following decades brought unprecedented economic pressures that reduced the number of plantations from twenty-seven in 1970 to only four in 2000. By 2011 only one plantation remained. Hawai'i's last surviving sugar mill, HC&S--with its large size, excellent water resources, and efficient irrigation and automated systems--remained generally profitable into the 2000s. Severe drought conditions, however, caused substantial operating losses in 2008 and 2009. Though profits rebounded, local interest groups have mounted legal challenges to HC&S's historic water rights and the public health effects of preharvest burning. While the company has experimented with alternative harvesting methods to lessen environmental impacts, HC&S has yet to find those to be economically viable. As a result, the future of the last sugar company in Hawai'i remains uncertain.

The oppressive round-the-clock conditions under which they worked will make you glad they fought back in one huge strike; Takaki charts this conflict well." --San Francisco Chronicle

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1910 The soils of the Hawaiian Islands are very different in several respects from those which are familiar to farmers and agricultural workers on the mainland. In the first place, the Hawaiian. Soils contain high percentages of iron in various forms (say from 15 to 30 per cent). In addition to the high iron content, the soils contain more titanium than mainland soils, and in some localities, also a large amount (up to 9 per cent) of manganese. The presence of the large quantity of iron in Hawaiian-soils gives them physical proper ties which are seldom met with in soils on the mainland. Wherever special-attention is not given to Cultivation, the Soils rapidly become impervious to water and air and the iron present in the soil is reduced to the ferrous state. This, as is well known, is injurious to plant growth and is instrumental in preventing adequate aeration of the soil. Moreover, when the iron exists in the ferrous state and the soil can not be aerated, the use of fertilizers gives little or no benefit. It is therefore necessary to adopt a rational Soil program, with the central idea that of securing a better aeration and better physical properties of the soil. Studies, which are designed to throw light on the practical methods of accomplishing such a result, are now in progress at the station, and the suggestions, already made by the station chemist, are being put into practice in a number of localities. It may be trutlifully. Said that in many localities the chief soil prob lems are concerned with the physical rather than the chemical pr0p erties of the soil. Improper aeration not only causes the iron to become reduced to the ferrous state, but may also prevent the utiliza tion by the plant of the plant food naturally present in the soils. The study of cultural and rotation methods for securing a better aeration of the soil will be-continued during the coming year, both in pot and field cultures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1912 As the Work of the, different members of the station staff continues, new conveniences are required in the station buildings for special' purposes. Many interior changes have been made to better meet the new requirements. In addition to interior alterations most of the buildings have been repainted and otherwise repaired in order to protect them more fully against injurious effects of the weather, Which are particularly noticeable under tropical conditions. A glass house has been erected for propagating purposes, and the old one, which had become quite unsuited to our purposes, was torn down and partly used in the construction of the new glass house. This Structure is made proof against ants by means of cement pillars standing in water. Arrangements for bottom heat in the main propa gating bed have been made by means of circulating water Which is heated by sunlight in an outside tank. An additional workhouse has been erected for the use of the horticultural department. This contains rooms for seeds, fruit, storage of spraying machinery, and for general inside work purposes.
