Returns from Alfalfa Tract,

near old Rouccea, about fifteen miles
down the river from this city. is
'figgerin'" just how much alfalfa has
been worth to him the past year,
and has found that his return from
a twenty acre tract, in hay and seed
foots up to s2,652, or $132.6O an acre
for the return Of a mighty dry year.
Seed men of the northwest have found
that alfalfa seed raised in this part
OF the state tests up to all their re.
quirements, and the seed product of
the alfalfa fields Of Hughes county are
always in demand from these dealers,
and no raiser need hunt a market, as

Howes has made a good showing,

There is plenty OF room for ex.

good stock food is cassava, crop that
gives large yield with "A minimum OF

here that fine cattle, particularly the
large, strong oxen as draft animals in
portions OF Costa Rica, are fed al
most exclusively upon chopped stalks

I'm the latter part OF the dry sea-
son the grasses OF the canal zone are
generally so parched that very little
sustenance can be secured from
cleared pastures. But stored forage
and crops like cassava, sugar cane,
sorghum, banana stalks, etc, could be
depended upon TO carry stock through
the dry months TO the rainy season

are exceptionally high. Milk from

Some poultry is raised by native and
canal employees. In view OF the ruling
high prices there is unquestionably a
good opening for raising both pork
and poultry. Away from the noisy
activities OF canal construction the
depredations of wild animals such as
the tiger cat and jaguar would likely
entail some loss TO these industries.
