proper attention TO agriculture the husbspdmsn may
three crops year of brsadstuGs, any other
products that tropical climates will produce.

mails of all descriptions. Agriculture Is becoming the
popular question In Liberia and IL 1t continues to find
encouragement, | think quantities Of coffee, srrew
root ginger and various other Things which
genei ally called for in beloved country will de-
napd Jour mnnuiscturesin exchange. Therefore, you
perceive, it will keep up continual Intercourse be
