A number OF cotton planters at Barbados
We're offered an opportunity of testing the
implement on their estates, and in most cases
were pleased with the results. Favourable
reports were also received from ST.. Vincent.
Antigua, and st. kits, where specimen
tools were sent for trial.
The 'Buco' cultivator has five tines of
spring steel, which can be adjusted to the
"ldth desired One or more of the tines
can be removed, if necessary, for special
work. They can also be replaced by II W
tines wheD worn.
Mr.. W. Fl. Patterson, Acting ArricuItur
Superintendent of st. Vincent, ut the time
OF writing September 20 las), reported
that the tool proved well adapted for break
Ing up the surface soil after heavy rain. in
order to let IN air, and to form a surface
mulch of loose earth. Ia ad lition, it could
also be utilized for stirring weeds that have
oeeh le1t on the surface, and which readily
root agun during ~shOwery weather and
Ior dragging Fl M the soil weeds of the
type OF devil OF Bahama grass after the
land has first been broken up with forks.
Mr.. 1. jackson, turator OF the Antigua
Botanic Station, in reporting upon the
implements, writes as follows -
The .Buco' hand cultivutors have been
recently tried at Antigua in cotton |cultiva-
ton. 1t woul Seem from these trials that
the implements in question woull be Of
value on light, fairly clean land. At least
twice as much work can be done with them
on such land, after a little practice, as with
the ordinary agricultural hoe used in tue
West Indies. The cultivators are light and
are worked in q somewhat similar manner to
the common draw hoe thus, when working
IN cotton fields there is it'll danger of the
bolls being injured.
On heavy or woedy land they viii be of
little value, as they are apt to clog and be-
com unworkable.

CANE TRASH AND SOIL MOISTURE.

An improved system of cultivation in the
growth Of ration canes, which is recon-
mended from the Cuban Experiment Station
was lately described in the Agricultural
Ne'os (VoL VIII, p. $3.50. The main fea-
lures Of this system are that the 'middles'
are alternately double -trashed and planted
with such a crop as cowpeas, the cowpea
vegetation being later p~loughed into the
land, Ia the following year (~nssuming ra-
toons are again grown this treatment is
reversed the 'middIea' that were double
traehed in the previous season being now
planted with a green crop, and vice versa.
In this conuexion q letter has been receiv-
ed from q correspondent who raises the point
as to whether rain, falling in moderate
showers, IS not to a large extent lost on land
covered with trash-more especially if dou-
ble-trashed ,-being dissipated by sun and
wind before reaching the soil. Where the
rainfall is deficient, this might possibly be a
draw back of some moment and should re.
ceive consideration. On the other hand.
taking the year through, it is probable that
the good effect of the trash in preventing
evaporation would more than balance losses
of moisture brought about in the way sug-
gested. The subject should form an inter
esting one for discussion by Agricultural
Societies in the West Indies.-I6id

VISIT OF SCIENTISTS TO JAMAICA.

As already mentioned in this journal, two
scientists from the Liverpool School of
Tropical Medicine, Professor II. Newstead
and DR.. William Prout, G. NJ. G., are at
present in Jamaica, ON q visit (which has
already extended over about three months)
OF investigation in regard to certain insect
pests OF the island, more especially those Of
q disease bearing character. Professor
Newstead is giving particular attention to
cattle ticks, AS we'll as those scale insects
which are at present Threatening citrus.
cacao, and cocoa-rnt civilizations in jamaica
while Dr., Prout is enquiring into the
presence of flarial and malurial diseases.
IN the hope of being able to suggest I'M
proved methods of prevention. This visit
should result in increased knowledge in re-
gard to many of the numerous insect pests
of the West Indies, from which agricuIturists
in particular may derive considerable ad-
vantage.-Ibjd.

SUGAR IN AMERICA.
from "1Ae Daily Argosy" Fec. s., I909.)

Quite the most interesting feature so far
as this colony is concerned of the tariff
Investigations now taking place in Wash
ington is the proposal to reduce the rate on
imported sugar. In American sugar grow
ing circles the question has excited consider
able discussion. Naturally, the home
growers are strenuously opposed to it;
equally of course the importers desire it,
and with them appear to be the growers in
the American dependencies. For some time
the columns of the sugar Journals have been
full of the topic, notably those of the
Louisiana Planter" THE Cuban produc-
Ell" states our contemporary, 'is compelled
"to sell his sugar to the American buyer
"and the American buyer will only buy the
"Cuban at a price about 8 of a cent a pound
''below the normal price of the sugar world,
"because if he endeayours to buy it lower,
European buyers win at once begin to buy
ain the Cuban market. When they do this.
"then the European markets go down and
"the decline then reacts again upon Cuba
and so the market keeps see-sawing from
"one decline to another, until it finally
REACHES prices below the cost of prQduo-
"tion." Consequently, it is urged, that to
give Cubs any further concession would
bring her no further benefit, and so no
further revision is needed.
Official statistics show that at the present
time the sugar trade of the United states
indicates a total consumption of $780, 600

tfom the establishment of the cotton indn
Cfy ana increased watchfnluess in the en-.
soEotment OF the customs laws. In 1906
me heVenue OF Angnilla was only 9575 12s
fd'p out IN l907-O9 it was IL, OOI, the Ex-
penditure for that year being 81. O79 17s Ia.
l should hope that in most years the island
OF Angullla will be s~elf-supporting. and I
trust that this Council will be willing to pass
the BlIl shortly entitled "The Cotton Indus
Try Ald Act, 1903" which has been prepared
IN the lntereSts Of Cotton growers in Anguil-
Ia and will affect that island only.
In Dominica the great development of the
Ilme and cacao industries has been the prin-
opal factor III the increase of the Reven-
ue and trade, its Revenue being over En- 600
more than 1t was five years ago, and the val
Ne OF Its trade having increased in the last
nVe years, as | have already pointed out, by
no less than G111,02
The Presidency of Montserrat owes it's
present iourishing condition to a very large
extent to the efficient manner in which it's
cotton industry has been developed in tue
last tive years, and, | may add, to the sue
cessful administration of its present Com
missioner. III 1904 the value of it's cotton
exported, consisting of SO bales, was G2,O72.
Last year no less than 1908 bales were ex-
ported, valued at 428, $40, or only 916.9 1914
less than the total value last year of all its
exports.
La the Virgin Islands also the cotton in.
dustry has played no unimportnnt part in the
increase OF their trade, and whereas in 1904
only 1900 TBS. of cotton were exported. in
| O8 the number of bales was 148. and
their value FL 1892. It is the hope of thS
COMMISSIONS, who has worked SO hard and
successfully In his present appointment for
the last five and q half years, and it is my
nope also, that the development of the lime
industry will add another source of Revenue
to the inhabitants, and, Indirectly, to the
Government, Of a very interesting Presi-
dency.
But it Is clear from the experience of last
year and from the recent reduction in the
value of Sea Island cotton, that, useful add
ton though the cultivation of cotton may be
to the industries of those Presidencies who're
1t can be grown with advantage, too much
reliance lnust not be placed on the certainty Of
Its yielding o fixed return to the planta. In
those Presldenoles and islands where o heavy
yield per acre OF cotton may be rolled on
with confidence, it seems to be certain that
the planter will always obtain a fair return
on ms capital expenditure, but where the re-
Clrn per acre is likely to be moderate, 1T is
doubtful whether cotton at its present D ice
can be regarded as remunerative industry.it
Is to be hoped that the cultivation, of cotton
Will always remain one of the industries of
the Colony, but | trust that the possibility
OF establishing other crops, which may prove
Of a more permanent character, will not be
overlooked.

exactly like him and who was wearing
his clotehs at the present time. An
officer was sent to the Reef but il ap-
pears that the sheriffs office had heard
Of Gray Blanco and phoned that there
was only one man just like Blanco.
When he was searched a pardon was
found in his pocket signed Governor
Sloan showing that the man had served
two years. two months and days in
the territorial prison at Yuma for an
assault with a deadly weapon. This
was not very good evidence for Gray
but he stoutly maintained that his
brother was the man who owend the
pardon and not he.
After considering the evidence in the
case the man was bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500 and was
taken to Phoenix yesterday afternoon

FRANCISCO c. GRAY
MAN OF IRON NERVE
At Least the Record in Court Looks
That Way New.

Francisco c. Gray or sometimes
Blanco up to date has several medals
due him for unadulterated nerve in
the transaction of nefarious business.
Some weeks ago Gray came into
Mesa by way of the P. & E. road and
no soon had he hit the town than
he is alleged to have entered the Smith
rooming house which - in an I'M
completed condition near the depot.
Mr.. Smith who is proprietor of the
Ten Cent store had moved a few ar
ticles of furniture into his new estab-
lishment and among other things was
a small hand mirror. Gray it is suppos-
ed entered the partly vacant house
and seeing his reflection in the mirror
liked the looks of it so well that he
placed it in his pocket and proceeded
on up the street. He had no sooner
reached the business district than the
thought came to him to pawn the mir
ror for a few cents. F.e went directly
to the Ten Cent store and walking up
to Mr.. Smith attempted to sell him his
own mirror. Mr.. Smith began to think
the article had a familiar look when
the man stated that he would go out
and get the boy who had sold him the
article. Mr.. Smith hardly saw through
the matter until the man was lost on
the streets but he was able to give the
officers a good description. Gray how
ever, was undaunted and he imme-
diately began to take orders for furni-
ture among the Mexican families,
agreeing to accept a small cash pay
ment and the balance of the money
70 ha paid when the furniture was de-
livered. 1t is not known whether he
received any money in this line or not
Gray was arrested Friday and identi-
fled by Mr. Smith as the man who had
tried to sell him the miriOI- Gray re-
fused to own up that he was the man
but he claimed that he had brother

SCHOOLS ARE CROWDED.

The enrolment of the Mesa public
schools has nearly approached that OF
last seasons total enrolment and the
prospects are that arrangements will
have to be made within short time
to commence the preparation for the
erection of another building for the
accommodation of youngsters. Two adj
ditional teachers, Zelma Rabbit and
Bessie Leebrick have been employed
in addition to those given in the list
last Sunday morning as the regular
teachers. The old Tithing house has
been rented and fitted up for the ac-
comodation of the lower grades. 1t is
estimated that fully fifty have entered
since the first day and with fifty
more TO be enrolled within the next few
days.
