SUN, RAIN, VOLCANOES

This from an October 24, 1936 Hawaii newspaper.

Sugarcane is a giant grass, and "stools out" from the root as other grasses
do. In a recent fair on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, a prize was offered for the
biggest stool of cane. It was taken by the one shown on the cover of this week's
Science News Letter. This one-root jungle of thirty-foot stalks would have
yielded about 400 pounds of sugar.
