SPRAY FOR PINEAPPLES
After inspecting chemist M. O. Johnson's pineapple experiments at Wahiawa last Thursday, in company with a party of pineapple and fertilizer chemists, C. G. Owen stated that the work is undoubtedly of the highest practical value.
"A more striking demonstration could not have been arranged.
There are two fields side by side, the one sprayed with iron solution, the other unsprayed. The sprayed field is green and thrifty with enormous ripening pineapples. The other untreated field has not given a return of ten dollars per acre.
The Hawaiian Fertilizer Company,
which Mr. Owen represents, has laid in a big stock of the required chemicals
and is preparing advertising literature to make Mr. Johnson's discovery of the widest practical use, to all who have manganese infested lands whereon they would grow this crop.
