Murphy Seeks to
Improve Baseball

Chicago, Nov 18-Desiring to i'm
prove the game of baseball, President
Murphy of the Chicago National
League Club, yesterday invited COR
respondence with enthusiasts who
see some phase in the sport that can
undergo betterment. According to
President Murphy there may be "a
number of departments wherein I'M
prOvement can be accomplished and
he is eager to give the folks not Of
ficially identified with rule making
opportunities to remodel regulations
that now may appear outgrown.
That's the reason am going to adj
vocate school in correspondence for
the uplift of baseball" said Mr..
Murphy. "There are scores of angles
that might stand overhauling, and |
am heartily in favor of a longer sea-
son for National League owners. In
stead Of assembling at New York next
month for three days meeting, why
not extend the session, giving six or
seven days to the consideration of all
these appeals from enthusiasts? Re-
quests containing real merit will be
taken to the league meeting. Now its
up to the people to send on their cor
reSpOndence.'

timated that not more than 100000
acres (about one-tourteenth of the entire
Total acreage) is under cane cultivation.
The opportunities for a profitable devel-
opment of this industry are great. We
lave only to consider the millions OF
acres adapted to such cultivation to real
ize the incalculable wealth of the island.
Cuban tobacco, as is we'll known, is OF
superior grade. Pinar del kio, the ex-
IRENE western province, is the home OF
the highest grade of leaf grown, anu
nearly three-tourths of the total tobacco
acreage of the island is contained in this
province. The tobacco industry gives en-
ployment to about 100000 persons. The
clgarmaker's wage varies, an expert in
making selected sizes sometimes earnin.
$50 week; person employed in max
ing the highest grade cigars receives fol
the work l5c to Zoe each; others are pail
from $40 to SIS per week.
In 1906, tobacco and manufactures OF
tobacco were valued at $36,7O2,5SG, an
increase of $7,2S6,624 over the previous
year.
The possibilities of the cultivation of
citrus fruits in Cuba are great. The es
timated cost of establishing a lO-acre or
ange grove on land valued at $50 an acre
is as follows: Land, $500; clearing, $3.50;
planting, $3.50; 900 trees, 1925; care fo,
five years, $780,; total, $2,625. Some
fruit may be expected the third year
Varieties of orange which have proved
most satisfactory for cultivation in Cuba
are the Pineapple and Valencia, the first
an early, and the second later variety.
In regard to grapefruit, Marsh's seedless
and Duncan are the two varieties favor
ed for planting.
The pineapple is indigenous to the
island The first shipment of pines
from Cuba was made to New York in
1870, and the industry is now an impor-
tant and profitable one. The demands of
the market are large. Sucker plants are
worth 500 to $25 per 1000, and an acre
of pineapples yields sufficient plants to
stock from three to five additional acres.
The Florida agriculturist., 1909-03-01
Agricultural Industries of Cuba.

The U. S. Consular service in Cuba has
prepared an interesting and complete re
port on the agricultural and industrial
conditions which at present obtain in the
island. The following forms summary
of the particulars given in reference to
the agriculture of Cuba:
Although nearly every portion of the

troublesome weed by the farmer in the
North, is used in drugs every year, and
from 95 cents to $l.25 per pound is paid
for it. The common burdock, another
wayside weed, is imported in large guam
titles.
Immense amounts of cordage of all
kinds, as well as manila paper, are
= brought to this country every year, mil
lions of dollars worth; and the plant
that supplies the 'iber for it grows
wherever it can get the slightest foot
hold in this part of the State, and it has
never been known to be injured by such
cold as we have in the winter down
here. The leaves of another plant, san
seviera, furnish a fiber that can be used
for the heaviest rope or dress fabric
as fine as silk. These last two plants
do not need even ordinary attention;
only plant them and they take care of
themselves. If there is a drouth, they
look green and happy; if there is a flood
they look only greener and happier.
Nothing grows moe luxuriantly down
here than all kinds of bamboo. We i'm
port $2,O0O,OO0 worth of bamboo from
China and Japan every year. This is
another plant that needs nothing in the
way of cultivation. although no doubt
it would profit thereby.
So many are the useful plants that
would grow most proftably down here
that the list would swell this article to
most unseemly proportions, but the
interested investigator can get all the
information he wants by applying 10 the
Board of Trade for it.
Plants and trees that produce the milk
that makes rubber elso grow readily, as
can be testified to by growers of tropi
cal shrubbery in various parts of om
country.
No one has yet made a speciality of
growing mangoes and avocado pears for
the Northern markets. The latter makes
a delicious salad served up in the same
manner as lettuce. Recently I saw in
Fort Myers an avocado pear tree that
was four years old from the seed, and
it must have been fifteen or twenty feet
high and loaded with fruit. There are
many trees of this delicate vegetable
fruit grown in that charming town, by
private citizens; and when it gets into
the market, it is seldom they can be
bought for less than ten cents each.
This gives some idea of the profit there
should be in growing this rare fruit.
Pineapple plants bear fruit in from
twelve to eighteen months from plant
ing; and with the new method of cover
ing them with swampgrass to prevent
sunburn, there is no reason why many
acres of this luscious fruit might not
pay handsomely.
These are a. few of the inducements
held out to settlers on our homestead
lands. There are many more, but time
and space forbid a continuance of this
subject; but enough has been said to
serve as pointers, and investigation and
experiment will prove that the half has
not been told.
