abled the club to meet all expenses
and leave surplus in their treas
ury of about $40. The club pro-
pose to organize another course
OF publ ctures for the coming
winter Of nix lectures at the same
price per course ($1.50) and to se-
cure the foremost lecturers of the
course for the term. They met
with some disappointments last
year, caused by sickness of the
parties who were fully atoned for
by securing other to fill their
place. who met every reasonable
expectation, aud our people we're
not only benefited by those great
intellectual and scholarly lectures,
but we're we'll pleased with the
entertainment furnished. The
members of the club propose to
furnish, if possible, a more thor
ough course of LECTURES provided
the public lend them their patron
age. The public owe this to
these youn g men who have 80
generously and nobly labored for
the intellectual and social i'm

companied by the affidavit or some

Cereals In The Philippines

TIE only cereals grown i'm the Philip
penes are rice and corn Of these, rice
is by far the more important, being
the staple food of the native population
as we'll as the inhabitants Of other or
iental countries. A scarcity OF rice al
ways brings hardship ann suffering to
the people. Several varieties of rice
are grown, differing from each other
more or less in c"ior, size and II .vor of
the kernels The "mismis' is the best
The "malagquit" is unusually glu,m
GUS and flour IS much used for pastry.
By planting quick and late ma.
turing variety, two ,crops may he har.
vested in one year The ordinary
price OF rice i'm the husK is about 80
cents and 65 cents per 'bushei, while
that of shelled rice is about 30 cents or
81 per bushel, The annual production
of rice in the Philippines averages
about 35,000,OoO bushels. This amount
is far below the actual requirements of
population. lnfact, the islands do
not produce enough food for the con
sumption of their oAn inhabitants.

IT has heen the custom to draw upon
the product "fo'herrice growing cnun
tries, the French pMany of Cochin
China being the principal source of
supply. In some years the quantity of
rice imported into Manila from Saigon
has exceeded 100000 bushels worth,
nearly s2,O0o,COo.
In several provinces of the Philip.
pines as for example in Cay.gan and
La Isabella, on the Island Luz III, the
inhabitants snhsst chiefly on Indian
corn, which Is grown toye her with to-
bacco AS rule CORN is not consum
ed so largely i'm other parts of the arch
ipelago, although in years when the
rice crop has been deficient this grain
has formed an Indispensable supple
ment dietray of the native population.
Several varieties of corn are grown.
The early varieties are generally pre-
ferred, because their use permits the
harvesting of two crops in one year.
The animal production is about 4,25O,-
