loamy lands and for those wet lands

1t is difficult to estimate the cost
of pine growing in Cuba, but the vet
eran Colonel Harvey says on this
point: "After several years of care
full watching of extensive and small
fields, I conclude that the cost is about
ten cents per dozen for the field acre
age. The cost Of plants cuts quite a
figure, as some years they are very
high and others very low The range
however, is from $1oo to $500 per
thousand plants. They are very bulky
and troublesome to transport, so the
distance they may be moved is an
important point to be considered An
ordinary car will not hold more than
1000 dozen Creolas or 5000 dozen
Avrona plants. In estimating the
cost of pine fields one must divide
the first years cost, breaking and
bedding the ground, setting plants,
extra cultivation and cost of plants

river is 14.5 feet above low water
