: FACTS ABOUT CUBA.
Only Three Per Cont. OF Area of Is-
land ana Only Ten Per Cent. of
Farms Under Cultivation.

Farms Under Cultivation.
From q recent bulletin issued by
the United States geological survey,
entitled, "a Gazetteer of Cuba" COM
piled by Henry Gannett, geographer,
the following suggestive facts re-
garding the island are taken:
With an acreage of $4,000 square
miles and population in 1899 of
1,572,797, only per cent. of the area
of the island and only 10 per cent. of
the area in farms was under cultiva-
tion. The most highly cultivated
portions of the island were in Man
tanzas and Havana provinces, which
lie adjoining in it's western part,
while in Puerto Principe, the large
central province, was comparatively
slight and the land was used mostly
for cattle ranches. The crops, in the
order of areas cultivated, were; first,
sugar cane, occupying somewhat less
than half of the cultivated area;
next, sweet potatoes, occupying ii
per cent of the area; tobacco, Q per
cent. and bananas a trifle less than
per cent. Tobacco and sugar were
grown in all the provinces. In 1899
there were in Cuba 207 sugar mills
with daily production of 61,4O1
bags.
Light is thrown on the depopulat
ing effect of war in Cuba by the
comparison of the census of 1S9.
with that of 1877. In the latter yeai
it was 1,631,6s7, or $4,000 more thar
IL years later, in 1899. Allowing fol
