CuItivos memories

La papa es de oriQen americana fu6 des-
cubierta en- el Peru y de ella dij0 Luis XIV, Iey
do Francia, que solo por encontrarla para Oar
alimento alas classes pobres, hubiera Waldo la
pena de conquistar la America. De la papa,
tub6rculO de taeiiisimO cultivO que esta cOnsi-
dorado como uno de los alimentOs de primera
necesidad on todos :os paises cultos, dice un
agr6nOmo mOdernO que es Ia planta mas agra
decida los cuidadOs del cultivadOr. Cada
aporQue que recibe, cada poda 6 deshierbo
oportuno que Sc le da, los remunera con creces
aumenrando la cantidad, Ia calidad y el peso
del tuberculo. Su cultivo no requiere grandes
cOnocimientes nj terrenos previlegiados, nj lar
60 tempo para esperar la cosecha, nj capital
de consideration esta al alcance de Ia fortuna
de Ia inteligencia de los mas modestos agri-
cultOres.
~ sin embargo, On Puerto Rico donde Ia pa
pa sc produce exelente y d0nde sus rendimien.
tos son indisputablemente ventajosos, apenas
hay estancierOs que Sc dediquen & cultivar.a.
La Isia gasta anualmento grandes Sumas
on comprarla On otras provincias espanolas y
en- el extIanger0 extrayendO del pals un dine
TO que muy bien podrla quedarse circulandO
en 81, mientras que nuestrOs campesinOs po-
hres carecen de este alimento tan sano y nu-
tritivo de los rendimiontos que pOdrfa pro-
ducir'es 81 cultivo aunque fuese en- menor es-
Gala.
Habra quien niegue que esta apatfa es
escandalosaf Habr& quien crea que no es
una yergIenza que Puerto Rico, donde tantas
tferras sin 1.-two Sc ven por todas parties, no
pTOd1zca siquiera sea para el consume un
articul0 tan facll dc producer como Ia papa ]
Sien nuestros campos SO cOsechasen las papas
que consumer los 800 mil habitantes con que
cuenta el pals cuantos cientos de miles de Pc
sos en- efectivo dejarian de salir anualmente
para e exterior <>s-E>
sf Respecto del particular llamamos sera
mepte Ia atenci0n de la Diputaci6n Provincial,
de:los Ayuntamientos dc La Isla Y, sobre TODD,
de- Ia Junta de Agriculture. Creemos que 81
SO estimulase los agricultores con premiOs
anuales para los que mayor cosecha de papas
recolectasen; que ST SO repartieran manuales
que explicaran las ventajas, facilidades, conve-
niencias y benefci0s que el cultivo de dicho
tub6rculo rinde, quza SO despergaria el deseo
de acometerlo, contribuyendo dc paso & ir
eQnilibrandO las importaciOnes regiOnales con
sus exp0rtaciones, dando nuestras classes
pobres la facllidad de adqCirir un alimento ba-
ra Qsse ayMdavta al platano que no prevalece
on Joda clase dc terrenos, que SO halla de CON.
tinuo expuesto a las rigOres de los inclemen-
cias del tempo.
Puerto. Rico no sera 10 que debe de ser,
mientras los que saben pensar no sacudan la
tnercia que nos aflJe, mientras tantoa y tan
tos brazos desocupados como SO ven por t0das
parties, no piensen, On bene6cio propio y del

On last Friday night thief entered
the Methodist parsonage through one OF
the parlor windows which he managed to
force open, and from there entered the
sleeping apartment of Pastor Huntley and
stole vest and pair of pants containing
his purse and fiue gold watch. The bare
footed track left in the dust was of me-
dunn size and undoubtedly that of a
negro.
Marshal Hurst took up the trail Satnr-
day morning and discovered that the
pants aud vest had been carried a short
distance and thrown under the college
steps. The purse, emptied of its contents,
was found near DIR. Daughtry's insurance

Editor iirookhaven Leader:
SIR--In your paper of this week there
is an 8ouut of the two innocent enter.
tainments given by our young ladies aud
geut lemen, which we MS spectators of the
first hardly think correct. In The first
place there was no connection between
the two entertainments; aud that given
by Miss Ethel Hardy was purely young
ladies' tea, where the ladies present were
dressed ~ ordinary evening Co>tum"s.
those representing young gentlemen, diff
foriug in appearance from the others sim
ply by the wearing of blazers and zOuavu
too much has bccu made of the whole
matter, which was nothing but the freak
of u crowd of happy young people. The
account which appeared IN the Times
Democrat of Sunday was intended for Our
local paper, and the characters named
were not assumed that night, hut merely
written up to cmbcllish the article sent
you 10y one of the young ladies.
We, the undersigned, were at Mrs llar-
dy's and enjoyed very much the evening,
aud gladly eXoneratc our girls from any
thing in the least Objectionable, aud
while all of us were not at the entertain
mcnt given by our young men, we under
stand that representative heads of almost
all the families in town were there, thus
giving approval to the whole matter.
Please publish the above in your paper
next week.
