Kona Estate In Good Shape
Reports from Kona by J. Al. McChesney cite favorable conditions after a period of uncertainty at the Kona plantation. The Holualoa lands yield cane while rain scarcity delays on upper lands, mill parts await arrival, and railroad work proceeds toward completion. Since harvest, 14 200 bags of sugar have been manufactured and chipped, with labor relations positive and preparations for next year under way. Planting on new land will start in about two weeks and long tattoons will be grown on the current cane land.
