COFFEE INDUSTRY IN PORTO RICO

I'll Cafetal, a journal published in
tegests of the coffee trade. contains an
article ~ its August Issue on coffee
growing in Porto Rico. from which the
following notes are condensed
The coffee crop is the most valuable
one in Porto Rico, the experts exceed
ing all other products in value.
Coffee is cultivated on the island In
a very primitive manner. and consists
mainly In transplanting into new
ground seedlings grown from berries
old plantations. It is Impossible In
this way TO exercise any selection of
seeds. No uniformity is used in maxi
ing the plantations. Usually two trees
are set out together to make allowance
for one dying. II both live they are
permitted to grow, with the result
that neither properly develops. While
the trees are small, the soil is stirred
up occasionally with machete and
the weeds are cut down with the same
implement No attempt has been made
10 preserve the shape Of the tree ny
pruning or to protect II from the at
tacks Of insects. The trees when set
Gut are protected with underbrush In
such a manner as to make them very
delicate. thereby requiring Ave to seven
years to fruit. As soon as they con-
mence to bear the seedlings cover the
ground underneath frequently to such
an extent as to prevent passage. The
fruit is difficult to gather. since the
greater part of 1t grows on the higher
branches.
The principal coffee districts are
those of Ctuado. Las Marias. Maricao,
Lares, GALES, Adjuntas, Mayaguez, San
Sebastian Ponce, and Yauco, in the
order mentioned, producing go per cent.
of all the coffee grown on the island.
Soil conditions. even on the same
plantation. are very variable. The
soil requirements of the coffee plant
have not been well understood. as Is
shown by the fact that plantations
have been put out In soil which was
rot at all adapted for It's growth. A
heavy soil is best suited for coffee
particularly II chalky or clayey. ant
It should retain its heavy character t
the depth of feet or more.
| 1t Is said that the coffee tree reacha.
its maximum of production in abou
twelve years and should continue II
full bearing for fifty years, though
