Show CALIFORNIA DEFENDANTS Exhibit No. 1217 Identification: July 12, 1957 Admitted Extract From Alexander, "Duty of Water"-A Relic of Early Irrigation Terminology, The Planter and Sugar Manufacturer, Vol. 80 (May 5, 1928).

THE FALSE CONCEPTION OF THE TERM IN HAWAII If I am not mistaken, there are those who are in the habit of thinking of "duty of water" in relation to the amount of the crop produced. For example: Should one million gallons of water per acre give three tons of sugar, *The Hawaiian Planters Record, Vol. XXXII, No. 1, Jan., 1928. |
