by three Or four, as one expects to
get three or four crops from one

The number of paying crops that
can be taken from field varies con-
siderably and is indeed problematical.
They will propagate themselves in
definitely. There is practically no
time of the year when pineapples
may not be found on the field, and
there is practically no age limit to
the pine plant. The time of the main
crop varies with the weather. Last
year, owing to the drought, the crop
was late. This year it threatens to
be little early. The principal ship

are not generally kept in cultivation
after the fifth year. 1t is the opinion
of very many that the field, if culti-
waited with care and scientific knowl-
edge, could be made to bear good
and profitable fruit for eight or nine
years. 1t remains for the American
colonists, who have already proved
the commercial possibilities of the
sandy lands, to demonstrate the feasi-
bility of continuing the fields for
a PERIOD OF years undreamt or Dy
Spaniards. This will probably be ac-
complished by the use of fertilizers,
but it is impossible to speak at pres
ent of the utility of these in Cuba,
owing to absolute ignorance on the
matter. The Experimental Station
has been and still is at work trying
to solve the problems, but so far, the
authorities have been unable to give
any definite advice on the subject.
At present heavy loss is suffered
owing to gross carelessness in cut
ting, grading and packing the fruit.
A great quantity of immature fruit
is sent out of the country and a still
larger quantity loses in price at mar
ket, owing to bad grading and dam
age caused by Indifferent packing.

ical Laboratory from few inches to
three feet above the ground, but the
stumps sprouted promptly and the
plants surpassed in growth during the
summer that of the previous year and
bore their first crop. In 1906 they
fruited again. That year the trees
had grown so large that the severe
freeze in December lett them practical

tured this summer. Several trees in

p. The trumpet tree had hitherto
been considered a valuable addition
to our ornamental plants only, but it
was discovered the past summer that
the fruit is quite delicious when picked
at the right stage of ripeness, some
what resembling fresh fig in flavor.
Besides being eaten raw as dessert
fruit the fruit can doubtless be utilized
IN preparing various other dishes, such
as filling for pies, cakes, ETC.
All the plants that have been dis
tributed thus far are seedlings and it
is only to be expected that the fruit
from some trees, when compared with
that of others, will be found superior
in flavor and quality. The trees will
also, in all probability, vary in prolific
ness Like several species of the genus
Ficus, to which the trumpet tree is
related, the plant throws out aerial
roots from the stems, which probably
is an indication that the plant may be
readily propagated from cuttings as is
done with the fig. If on trial this
mode of propagation is found to be
practicable, the reproduction of supe-
rior and desirable varieties of this new
and novel fruit would be rendered
both easy and rapid. The trumpet
tree is perfectly at home on the high
and rocky pine land but its manner Of
growth and luxuriant foliage suggests
that it would do even better in sit
uation where moisture was more abun-
dant. Young plants are apparently
more tender than the mango or avoca-
do of the same size but recuperate
more quickly than either from injuries
from frost, and rapidly attain size
that enables the trees to successfully
resist such freezes as we have endured
in the past few years.

The culture of pineapples for ex-
port has been an established industry
in Cuba for a number of years and
has now reached position of great
Importance not only for the growers,
but also for rival producers in other
countries. The annual crop varies
from 100000 to 100000 crates and
is likely in the immediate future to
ascend to a much higher figure
The center of the industry is in
the Provinces of Pinar del Rio and
Havana. So far as the Spaniards and
Cubans are concerned, this is the only
part of the island where the industry
is of any Importance. The American
co1onists, however, have extended the
area of cultivation to the center and
eastern parts of Cuba, and there is
every indication that their efforts will
be crowned with success.
The Spaniards plant pines only on
the best red lands, but the Americans
have been able to produce very fine
fruit from the light sandy soils where
living is much easier and more pleas
ant. There are only four varieties
of pine which have been grown with
success in Cuba, and of these only
one is commercially profitable to the

tages of this method are that all the
work can be done with horse An
other method is to plant two rows
pretty close together, about twenty
inches apart, and then a wider alley.
Others use the regular system of
three Or four rows about twenty inch
es apart, with a foot separating the
plants. The work is done from al
leys and walks which are left around
the BEDS Another grower describes
his system as follows: The pines are
in beds of four rows each; the plants
are set "a inches by 16 in the beds,
and an alley is left between each
bed. The alleys are alternately six
feet and four feet wide. In this man
ner it is possible to work the beds
from either side with the scuffle hoe
and at picking time to use the wheel
barrow. This is the quickest and
cheapest manner of carrying the
fruit and saves an extra handling also.
Between the Spanish system Of
ridges and the level-culture system
there seems to be nothing to choose
in results. But in the former the work
must be done by hand, and therefore
it is probable that the level culture
will be eventually universal for the

Directions for Planting Trees.

When received, the trees should be
hee1ed in, the fine dirt being we'll work
ed in around the roots If dry, they
should be we'll watered.
In moving, they should be covered
with wet burlap or something to pro-
tect them from sun and wind.
Holes should be dug four TO six
inches deeper than the tree goes down;
this space filled with fine surface soil
All bruised or broken roots cut off
with sharp knife, leaving a smooth,
sound end cut from the lower side up.
Set the tree one and one-half to two
inches deeper than it grew in the
nursery. Set with slight lean to the
southwest, straighten the roots and
work fine dirt under and between the
roots, packing firmly.
When all the roots are covered,
pack the whole firmly with the feet,
then finish with loose dirt.
Cut off at least two-thirds Of the
seasons growth of branches. Head
the trees low and as near as practicable
to uniform height.
In spring, leave the ground slightly
dishing toward the tree.
In fall planting, mound tip the earth
four to six inches above the level,
packing closely to the stem.

Plant Waternelons.

It is demonstrated fact that water
melons is the crop that never fails
in this section, and that as fine melons
can be grown at as small cost as any
where in the country. Realizing this
fact, "a number of OUR progressive,
+ hers have decided to put in crops
q melons ranging from five to twenty
Ae acres and the prospects now are
that the crop will be so large that
buyers can be induced to come here
and buy the melons on board the
cars at the depot, thus securing a
maximum price at a minimum amount
of trouble.
Heretofore it has been Improbable
to grow melons here because there
was no local market for them, but if
all the growers will unite, and each
plant as large an acreage as prac-
ticab1e, the market will come and the
business can be made a profitable
one, as has been done in other sec
tons of the state.

Spanish. This is small in size, but
very hardy and vigorous The flavor
is poor and not to be compared with
the more tender Smooth Cayenne and
Golden Queen Its value lies in the
fact that it will stand almost any
amount of rough handling, which is
essential in this island.
The Sugar Loaf is largely grown
for home consumption and it is pro-
bable that it endures the various eli
matte hardships better than any other
variety It seems to do equally we'll
in very wet ground, in drought and
in poverty-stricken soil 1t will not,
however, keep long, which renders
it useless for export.
The Golden Queen has been intro
duced in the higher lands and has
produced good fruit, but it is unable
to thrive in the wet lands and will
not keep for long.
The Smooth Cayenne, although one
of the most satisfactory varieties tor
home use, being hardy, large, firm
feshed and of delicate taste, will not
stand the rough handling Of the ex-
port trade.
The common method of planting,
especially in the heavy wet lands, is
to cut the field up in short, wide,
low ridges, about twenty-five to thir-
ty feet in length. The ridges are about
foot high and the plants are set
in them a foot apart
On the sandy lands pines are grown
by level culture either in rows or in
beds. Some growers prefer to plant
the pines at intervals of ten inches
in rows five feet apart. The advan-

Sheep Produce More Meat.

Professor F. B. Mumford, Of the
Missouri experiment station, in pre-
senting summary of all the work that
has been done at the experiment sta
tions on the feeding Of sheep, showed
that sheep produce more meat from a
pound of grain than any other class OF
farm animals. In fact, it was shown
that aApound of mutton can be pro-
duced from about half as much grain
as a pAand of beef Even the mort
gage-lifting hog requires more grain
to produce a pound of human food
than the sheep With the combination
of corn and hay for food, and dry shed

The Fruit Fly in Bermuda.

The Agricultural Society Of Bermuda,
is at present conducting an interesting
campaign against the fruit fly (Ceratitis
capitava, Wied.), which has increased
SO greatly and is proving such pest
in the islands, that the most radical
means for its destruction appear to be
warranted During the past year,
therefore, all fruit of the island, known
to be in the slightest way affected, has
been vigorously destroyed, in the hope
of not leaving single opportunity for
the insect to breed this year The re-
suit of this extreme step will be,
watched with interest.-Agricultural
