People v\ould think you were crazytowatchitburn,butthatisn'tthe casein Hawaii. There it isone of the important steps in the production of sugar cane.

The

Due

tohigh laborcostsi>ntheIslands, Hauaiian planters seek to achie\e a greater yiekl per acre ,ind per

through

leadership

in science and mechanization. F'arming

proceilures

on the cane plantation are so highly mechanized that

many

ol the regular workers havetobeskilledoperatorsand crallsmcn. The proper distribution of vsater, aseraging

some

grown. Specialists in Ihe field ol soil conser\.ilion .iiul

are con- slanlK on the lookout for better ferti- lizers. Kconomisls keep aclose watch on the world's sugar market.

A new method

of

ammonia.

Ihe gas is converted into aqua

same manner

Ihe cane stalks, which

to lengthsof 25 feet, produce astonishing
