PORTO RICO LAID BARE.
Not Enough Timber Left to Supply
Necessary Fuel

Washington, July 2S.-Tne agricul-
tural department will soon issue in bull
letfn form some notes recently made on
the forests of Porto Rico by Robert T.
Hill Of the geological survey. Hill says
that comparatively little of the original
forest of the island remains. He esti-
mates the remnant at not to exceed ten
square miles. The principal part thus
left is on the summit of the practically
insurmountable mountain peak of Ell
Yunque the highest point in the Sierre
Luqillo mountains. The evidences of
original forests are plentiful, and Mr..
Hill suggests that one of the principal
problems for the United States is to
refOrest the island. This he thinks will
be comparatively easy. The soil and
climate are well adapted to tree growth
and maturity will be speedily attained.
For the present, however, there is not
sufficient timber to supply the needs of
the island even for fuel Incidentally
Mr.. Hill gives much information con-
corning the coffee, sugar and tobacco
plantations. He says there are on an
average z 4 farms to the square mile on
the island which accounts for the de-
mutation.
