Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1903A small amount of Sumatra tobacco was grown under cloth at the experiment station during the spring of 1903. W'hile the crop was not of the best, because of the soil not being suited to this type of tobacco, the results obtained were SO promising that a more extended experiment will be conducted during the next year. Up to this time the Hawaiian Islands have been almost absolutely dependent upon a single crop, the cultivation of sugar cane. A number of causes have contributed to the decrease in the amount of profits from sugar. Because of this, and also because of the necessity Of having more than one industry on a paying basis in this country, it has been considered advisable to do all in our power to further the establishment of new agricultural industries. A cursory examination of the islands, and especially of certain districts on Maui and Hawaii, lead me to believe that there are considerable bodies of land well adapted to the cultiva tion of tobacco. A more extended survey of this district will be made during the next fiscal year, and, if possible, a cooperative experiment in tobacco culture will be arranged under the direction of the tobacco experts of the Bureau of Soils.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
