$500 &c.,
To-day closes the year 1890. For us IN
6 4nta Cruz it has pot been a year which we
can look upon with satisfaction Over and
over it has been proved in different parts of
the We -nuies, that, hardy as the sugar
cane is it cannot thrive without a fair sup
ply of moisture. Cultivation, however tho
rough nd however scientific, is of little avail
in the ce OF weather such as we have had
through the greater part of the year now
CLOSING, and the result Of deficient rainfall is
that re new find ourselves on the verge Of a
season like. to give an extremely short crop,
and consequently short employment to our
rural population s we'll as to that part of
our town populat IN which depends on field
labour eli her directly as field hands or indi-
rectly as in the case OF the labourerS at the
factory. Already the effects have been felt
in the reduced amount of labour which has
been required to keep the fields clean during
the dry weather; but we fear. that, unless
We get an exceptionally wet spring, the la
bourers will suffer much more in the coming
year. Owners of properties will of course
suffer in proportion; but in their case we
may hope that the prosperity of 1889, when
a crop OF over 1900. Hhds. was reaped, will
enable them to tide oyer the ''bard times.
The year on the whole has been a very
quiet one. In West Indian agriculture at
Sention has been much directed during the
year to experiments with Seeding canes also
Of lat~ to the remarkable results obtained in
b dos by the j~udicious application of
scientific principles to the, cultivation of the
soil, the crop of 1890 having reached nearly
10000 Hhds., while a few years ago 10000
was considered an excellent result. Atten-
ton has also'been called to the Sisal hemp
plant as a robably-remunerative eultiva-
ton fer islands having a dry climate
and poor soil, and possibly, therefore,
for some parts of Santa Cruz. The
great event of the year, commercially, was
the passage of the Mckinley bill in the
United ST ties. '"he bill came into operation
on the 4t October, but the provisions which
mainly { feet us, those namely concerning
