ing report from LieuteaalS~ Aayns.
California heavy artillery. on agriculture in
che Philippines. dated Manila Lieutenant
RAyne had been able to make no personal
observations beyond the American lines, but
he transmits the translation Of al article
prepared for him By Senor Manuel del Busto,
chief o: the agricultural experiment station
in Manila
The most remarkable feature Of the re-
port is the almos; hopeless picture painted
OF the conditions prevailing In the island
The great fertility OF the soil is pointed
out and i is said that only in a few re-
stricted areas. where three crops a year
have been gathered without interruption for
several centuries, is there any apparent need
Of fertilizers. In spite Of this, all at
tenpts al colonization have failed, either
through the poor class Of emigrants Sc
cured, the financial instability Of the vari-
Gus companies or the corruption and op-
preston OF the governors and governme Mt
agents. The result is that the middle and
lower classes in the islands are almost OF
the worst possible type
In addition TO the primary difficulty in
securing reliable labor. the agriculturis; Is
for al immense amount OF work in clear
ing new land. when this is accomplished
and a luEuriant crop raised, it is al the
mercy OF the first typhoon.
Besides the typhoon there is to be feared
in certain provinces she "dagudo" or dry
land wind which dries up and destroys
vegetation Diseases so far hardly known
70 European doctors result from the turn
ing up OF this virgin soil. According to
competent medical authorities, many OF
these strange disorders cause death within
a few hours. while from others, even II
the patient reoovers, he is condemned to
a wre.ched existence.
Another OF the great difficulties in the
way Of agricultural development is the ut
ter lack ot roads and shipping points. The
native Filipino is unable 70 DO any large
amount OF work and cares TO do less. He
is indolent and given to gambling. All
these vices have 20 be taken into account
in any undertaking where labor is employed.
The lack OF money is another serious
handicap to enterprise. The minimum cost
Of money in the Philippines. regardless OF
security. is y Per cent At present the
Philippines are cursed by a well organized
body of the worst sort OF usurists
The price OF all classes Of crops is steadily
falling as the production retrogrades in
quantity and quality.
Lieutenant Hayne in transmitting this in
teresting document. states that he would
strongly recommend quarantine measures
against Philippine plants as there exist an
immense number Of very Injurious parasites
! in the islands, and many private parties are
already preparing to import botanical speci-
