A 1904 article from The Hawaiian Forester and Agriculturist considering whether cotton could become a commercial crop in Hawaii outside the sugar industry. It discusses labor conditions, the need for systematic experiments, rainfall and planting time, and the native and introduced Gossypium species. It reprints a letter from a Fall River, Massachusetts mill treasurer appraising Honolulu-grown samples (Upland-type and Egyptian-type) for staple length, quality and price. It closes with a warning about seed selection and the boll weevil.
