VIII Resume Farming.
Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Santiago January 20.-For the last
month there have been big fres on the
hill tops. reminding Americans here Of the
days when they used to read In the morn
ing papers OF the burning OF the sugar
cane. tobacco ETC.. by the insurgent forces.
But the present fires are kindled for the
purpose OF clearing the lands Of timber
for farmers use. Tho small planter, the
man owning little bit of land. Is return
ing to his work and to his home. Many Of
the small planters here have, since the
Spanish surrender. been working for the
government in the street cleaning depart
ment, where they have earned from 81 to
$3.50 day and during the last five months
have saved from 800 to $3.50. This, with
one or two acres of land, is all that Is re-
CURED by them to once more develop into
successful farmers on a small scale.
This returning to work in the country is
very good sign for the future, for 1t not
only means that lands which have gone to
waste will once more be put into cultiva-
tion, but 1t also means the GUILTY. itlon of
land that was never previously anything
but waste. 1t means vacancies in the sani-
tary and quartermaster's departments
which will be given to other Cubaus who in
the course OF few months will also have
saved sufficient money to take up an
acre or two of land and 10 into the ooun-
try with their families.

sjavana. January 2s.-The Spanish bank
will not collect any more taxes IN Cuba.
Major General Brooke, governor general
o. the island. received information last
night from Washington that the banks
collection was left to his discretion. Tho
bank is still, under the orders of January
Z. authorized to collect the taxes. but or

General Brooke is engaged in a careful
examination of the back taxes aud VIII
use his discretion on the matter OF their
remission. While there is no information
forthcoming as to what he will do on the
matter. there is no doubt the general Will
iemit all taxes prior TO December 81. 1926
The matter Of the assessments OF real
estate for taxes during the year 1893 Is
being most carefully considered. Tho
Spanish assessments are not reliable, and
properties today are in some cases more
worthless than formerly. There are in
dications that new assessments will be
made this year and that taxes will be col-
lected through provincial bureaus, which

The Rice Situation.

l
!
A gentleman who is thoroughlg
familiar with all matters pertaining to
/ the rice situation talked with Sig
nal representative and presented some
interesting points. Said he: $50 far
as this red rice question is concerned
| the only way to remedy the trouble is
for the farmer to let the land rest,
! and while doing this he win make
more money than if he farmed it all
and raised red rice. For instance. a
planter puts in 200 acres and it raises
ten bags to the acre which is red rice.
he gets but 81 per bag for it or $4,000.
Il he will put in but 100 acres and
give it the same amount of work he
would the 200 acres, letting the other
100 rest, he would get at ten bags to
the acre, 1000 bags. The extra
amount of labor put onto this 100
acres will bring quality of rice that
would yield $3 per bag instead of one,
and he would receive $4,000. The
next season he can take up the piece
that was idle the first year, and thus
by alternating he will stamp out the
red rice in time and the question will
be solved.
'sThe time will probably come, and
it will be a good thing, when the mills
will not only refuse to buy red rices,
but will refuse to mill it at any price.
This would result in the planters go
ing to work at once to stamp out the
evil and would result in good all
around.o
II was talking with a well known
New York broker recently and he as
sured me that it was impossible to
import Japan rice into this country
for less than 4 5-8 cents per pound.
There is no reason to doubt this state-
ment and yet our farmers are taking
$3.50 for their rice of the same quail
ity. Southwest Louisiana to-day has
the control of the rice situation of the
United States in its hands, and if they
do not profit they can have no one to
blame. am told by reliable author
ity that there are not over IS 900 bags
of rough rice in New Orleans to-day.
The mills will use 1000 bags a day,
and this means that in q week or ten
days the mills vii! have to shut down
Or come out here and take our rices.
"The thing for our farmers to do
is to hold the price of their rices up
and not force them out on the market.
Ii this is done price near the true
value will be received and the farmer
will profit thereby ."-Crowley Signal.
