Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1906 Considerable work has been done in bringing more of the station land under cultivation in anticipation of the new water system pro vided for by Congress. About 10 acres of the lower portion of the station tract were cleared, fenced, plowed, and prepared for planting. AS the station does not expect to plant all this at present, half the tract was cleared by the Territorial department of public works for the privilege of growing forage plants for a few seasons. In this way the station was relieved of the expense of removing a dense growth of lantana and guavas. The trial grounds of the station were completely fenced and a new slat greenhouse was constructed for the use of the horticulturist. A new stable was erected and a consider able amount of water pipe laid. An additional area, amounting to about 2 acres, on the higher portion of the station grounds was cleared and terraced by Japanese tenants at no expense to the station. The office and laboratory equipments were increased and numerous addi tions made to the station library by purchase, exchange, etc., so that now the station possesses the best collection of reference books on economic agriculture in Hawaii.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1908 The investigations described in the accompanying report were all begun under the supervision of the former Special agent in charge, Mr. Jared G. Smith, who severed his connection with the station at the end of the fiscal year. The report, however, was prepared under the direction of the present special agent. During the year considerable attention was given to the im provement of the general appearance of the station grounds and buildings. A number of Old and unsightly structures were torn down and replaced by others more serviceable and of better appearance. One structure was erected to contain a tool house, seed storehouse, and carpenter shop, on the ground floor, and a rice laboratory in the second story. An addition was made to the stable, in which a blacksmith shop and implement shelter an. Provided. The experimental grounds and pastures were sur rounded with new and substantial fences, and about feet of new pipe line was laid for irrigation purposes. In addition to these changes and alterations, an old office building was torn down, and a new gallon water tank was erected near a 2-acre rubber plantation on the slope of Tantalus at an elevation of about 700 feet.

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.

Such cooperation would make it possible to provide for many more projects than can be cared for when the entire cost of the work is borne by the station alone.
