1rhere are tricks in the trade" of which Cubans
feare masters, especially those persons whose fam

tobacco culture entirely. They seem to be pos
f6essed of an intuition which enables them to
Ghandle the Seeding, the plant and the leaf, when
terminating, when maturing, and especially when
curing, in a manner to insure a better outcome
than any foreigner is likely to compass. To grow
the very best tobacco requires capital. The ven-

can citrus-fruit growers consume large quantities
of canned condensed milk, at high prices, as well
as large amounts of canned meats and vegetables,
despite the fact that some good pasturage exists,
while still more could doubtless be planted, and
the further fact that fine vegetables in remark
ably large variety can be grown along the river
banks, or, really. almost anywhere else where
Irrigation is possible. They also import hay and
feed at ridiculous cost. All this into a region
where corn at least can be grown and large herds

In central. but most particularly in eastern

care, that growers are developing orange ana
grapefruit groves.
These lands vii, produce the trees, IL food
to support them Is supplied in the shape of fer
tilizer, and the trees will bear citrus fruit OF the
very best quality-bright colored, weighty, full
of Juice, inclosed in smooth, thin rind. NO fair
minded person can longer doubt that they Will
do SO after seeing fruit Of the quality which
growers located at Taco Taco exhibited at the
latest horticultural show in Havana. These gen.
tlemen had, however, the money to keep their
trees properly nourished. Many others who have
failed to succeed as they are succeeding owe that
failure to the fact that they did not have the
money to do as much for their groves.
Some land companies doing business In west
ern Cuba deny overly or by implication that fer
tilization Is necessary, but no prospective owner
of a citrus-fruit grove in western Cuba can afford
not to include in his estimate Of expenses the
cost of fertilizing early and often in amounts
properly augmented as years pass. Fertilizers In
general use in the groves of the region mentioned
cost, on a fair average. about $40 a ton.

the right to open Federal street
through the property, and to continue
on the rear of the lot for period of
one year. The price was a compro
