1 HERE is no unemployment In the
Hawaiian Islands. Instead their citizens
of all ages are busy sending a fiood of
gold In the form of Hawaiian pineapple
all orer the United States and also to
many far distant lands. There is ro
mance in the story of how these semi
tropical islands happen to be one of
the busiest parts of our country at this time
when unemployment is so widespread. It Is the
romance of how the thought of one man greatly
enlarged the whole economic aspect of these
Islands which we were once so reluctant to
annex.
Tor our goTernment was far from cordial to
the Wea of receiring Hawaii under its flag back
In 1395 when an annexation treaty was first
negotiated with President Harrison. This was
withdrawn by President Cleveland in April of
that year, but brought up again after President
McKinley'i election, and Hawaii was not finally
admitted into the Union until July 7, 1SDS.
There was good reason for this reluctance.
Just for the sake of acquiring a Pacific naval
station this country did not want to assume the
permanent financial liability which these islands
seemed likely to prove. As late as its 1907-1308
edition the Encyclopedia Americana stated that
"the danger of depending upon a single crop
(sugar) has long been recognized, and persistent
efforts have been made to develop minor indus
tries" in Hawaii.
One Man Did It
To understand bow Hawaii developed a second
, Important crop which goes out as a flood of
golden pineapple and forms one of the two great
Industries of the Hawaiian Islands, it is necessary
to go back thirty years to the beginning of the
career of one James D. Dole. It was In 1899 that
this man. Just graduated from Harvard, set out
for the Hawaiian Islands from a suburb of Bos
ton known as Jamaica Plain.
He went there to grow coffee. He knew noth
ing about pineapple culture. Neither did be know
anything about canning. But, after various ex
periments, he went back to Boston to get an
expert canner and raise some capital, and be
succeeded in both attempts.
After that the pineapple business began to
prosper. The company which he formed packed
1,893 cases of pineapple in 1903, 8,810 cases in
1904, 25,000 in 1905 and more than 100,000 in
1907. Its pack grew to C00.O00 cases in 1912,
I, 000,000 in 1918; 2,000,000 in 1923; 3,000,000 in
1926; and from 3,247,204 cases in 1929 it grew
to more than 4,000,000 last year.
Once this man had demonstrated that pine
apples could be profitably grown In Hawaii, he
naturally bad competitors. There are now nine
chief growers who packed a total of about
II, 300,000 cases laut year, nearly all of which
were shipped to the United States and had a
value of $15,000,000. No, there Is no unemploy
ment at present In Hawaii.
. Room for More
In spite of this vastly increased production,
the consumption of pineapplr-s in the United
States amounts to only a trifle more than two
pineapples per capita a year. So there is room
for even greater production if it can be brought
about, but all of the good pineapple land In
Hawaii is now taken, and when the island of
Lanal, recently bought'and developed into a huge
pineapple plantation by Dole's company, Is
br6ugbt to full production, that will be about
all the pineapple that Hawaii can supply.
The story of the acquisition of this inland of
Lanal is a whole romance in Itself. Back in
1922 Dole was facing the problem of the need
of more land for the growing of pineapples. It
was estimated at that time that there were only
about 89,000 acres in tie lslanda adapted to pine
apple culture. Of these bis company then coo-

apples ready to be
pckzd, for canning.
trolled about 25,000 acres, but he rightly be
lieved the demand for canned pineapple would
In a few years exceed the capacity of the Indus
try's entire acreage.
So he sent men into the Philippines and down
into Mexico, and investigated Fiji, San Domingo,
Malaya and even Queensland, Australia, before
coming back to the Hawaiian Islands and buy
ing for $1,100,000 Lanal, considered up to that
time a hopelessly barren Island beaten ten
months in the year by northeast winds beneath
the blasts of which the scattering trees on It
were permanently bowed.
There was no harbor then, no roads, no townu,
no labor, and much cf the good soil was covered
with enormous cactus. But the soil tested well,
and the climate was propitious. The altitude,
average rainfall and natural drainage were about
right. Dole solved the problem of fighting the
obstinate cactus by hitching a cable chain to
heavy tractors and literally dragging the dene
growth down.
He Bet 5,000,000
Dole was willing to bet $5,000,000 that bis
judgment in buying Lanal was right, and that
be was right is proved by the fact that the yield
of Lanai pineapples is today nearly equal to the
combined yield of all the rest of bis plantations.
But all this was not accomplished without a
struggle. By cutting away the cliffs on one side,
running a heavy breakwater out Into the ocean
on the other, and then dredging, be created the
harbor of Kaumalapau, at a cost of $750,000. He
built a road for heavy trucking, seven miles back ,
and 1,600 feet up into the Island, along which
five-ton White trucks hauling ten-ton trailer!
now travel, each carrying in all a not load of
twenty-three and a half tons of fruit. At the
harbor these are hoisted In eleven and a half
ton lots onto barges which are towed to Hono
lulu some fifty miles away.
And this was not all. He brought water acrosi
the mountain range on the windward side of the ,
island to the reservoir near the town of Lanal
City which stands today a model community o!
its kind. Its population now consists of 3,000
orientals and thirty-two whites, and It boasts Ha
own bank, stores, school, a hospital, a Buddhist
temple, and even "movies' and a "Mayor."
There Is no unemployment on the Islands o4 .
Lanal, and neither is there any contract labor.
Tho pineapple picker who wants to quit his Joh
can draw his week's wages (from $14 up to aft
much as $28) and his transportation back it
whence be came. The labor la a polyglot lot
Chinese, Filipinos and Hawailans, even somft
Russians and Portuguese, live tranquilly In t, ,
community which la free from race problem!
largely because of thorough Intermarriage.
A battery of shelling machines, known a
"glnacas," removes the pineapple's skin and
punches out its core in a single swift operation;
a set of knives cuts the skinned and cored cylin
ders into uniform slices, and in a few seconds
from the time the pineapple enters the Clnaca
machine, it Is skinned, cored, sliced and ready for
grading and canning.
Speed is the essence of proper pineapple can
ning. The quicker you can get this luscious fruit
out of its jacket and into the can, the better.
Something more than food is preserved by this
celerity. It Is the only way to preserve the
elusive flavor of the fully ripened fruit.
Still a Pioneer
This matter of grading Is Important. Dole wants
tho housewife to know exactly what, she Is buy
Uig In his cans. So be devised a system of stamp,,
Ing the numbers "one" or "two" or "three"
together with his name In the tops of the cans.
This Is a pioneer procedure which will undoubt
edly extend to other canned products in the
course of time.
When the housewife uses fresh fruit she tan
look at It and see its condition. When she uses
canned fruit she has to depend on the labels to
tell truthfully what quality of fruit Is Inside.
The cans of pineapple with "one" stampod In
their tops contain the best fruit in appearance,
texture, syrup and color; those stamped "two"
contain fruit Just as fine but not quite so shapely
and parked In syrup slightly loss sweot; and
those stampod "three" contain good, wholrsnme
fruit, packed In tho same syrup as "two," but
slices that have been brokf-n so that they cannot
be included In tho firnt two grades. These first
two erades are both Backed In sllned. crushed and

Real Food Value
Is this large production of pineapple a real
contribution to our diet in food value as well as
in taste? According to scientists, it Is.
"There are better sources of a singlo vitamin,"
eays a bulletin of the University of Hawaii, "but
as an all around source of vitamins the canned
pineapple takes an unusually high place. No
other cannod product, except tomatoes, la as
rich In vitamins."
But the fruit has to be handled right. There is
a marked difference in its sugar content, depend
ing upon whether It has been allowed to ripen
on the plants or is picked tor shipment after It
has reached Its full size but has not yet ripened.
Analysis shows, according to this same author
ity, an average of 12.06 of sugar in the natural
ly ripened fruit, against 3.66 In that picked
green and allowed to "ripen" off the plant As
a matter of universal practice among Hawaiian
packers the fruit Is allowed to ripen In the field.
Tbe sugar content of pineapple Is of a type
which Is ready for human assimilation, accord
ing to Dr. A. L. Dean, Director of the Experiment
8tatlon of the University of Hawaii, and pine
apple has a higher food value than most fruits,
largely because of its high sugar content and Its
Vitamins.
Rich in Calories
Tbe analysis of pineapple contained In the fol
towing table was made on a composite sample
of both fruit and syrup made by commuting and
mixing the contents of six cans of "Fancy" sliced
pineapple taken at random from the pack of six
' different cannorles:
Moisture 76.01
Total Sugars 22.30
Sucrose 9.997k
Reducing Sugars 12.31
Protein 0.44
Crude Fiber 0.30
Mineral Matter (Ash) 0.33
Fruit Acids (Calculated as Citric Acid)., 0.59
"It will bo soon from tbe above," the bulletin
states, "that the food value of canned pineapple,
as measured by calories contained in it, is by
no means negligible."
So James D. Dole, whose name is lndlssolubly
connected with the pineapple Industry In Hawaii,
both as pioneer and dovelopw, not only turned
a possible liability Into a provod asset, but thin
industry is making a distinct contribution to out
national diet In a form that Is both nutritious and
popular. And that is why there Is no unomploy;
rnent at present in those far flung Pacific islands
The odd weather, one of the greatest
hazard to all concerned, was probably
a new experience for the animals. Just
ss It wa for the majority of miners,
Crest demands were made upon tht
animal and little can and food could
be given In return. Often, Just as In
the Kldorado rush, trails were marked
by skeletons of the unfortunate ani
mals. No war has been complete with
out horse and mule. 'Uiie cavalry
alone accounts for tbe horses, while
hauling cannon, food and the Indis
pensable water were part of the mule's
