Third article in a series on the fibre industry in Hawaii, arguing that sisal (Agave rigida sisalana) is the soundest fibre crop for the islands. It covers US import values 1894-1903, plant description, soil, propagation, nursery work, transplanting, harvesting, extraction machinery (the raspador type and the Todd machine at Ewa), drying and baling, diseases and pests, and by-products. It closes with a detailed cost and profit account of the Hawaiian Sisal Co. plantation at Ewa, Oahu. Illustrations show the Ewa plantation, a sisal mill, and laborers cutting fibre.
