DIVERSIFICATION IN THE BRITISH
WEST INDIES.

In q country wherein sugar has been the
dominant crop for two hundred years, it
seems somewhat reckless to talk Of diver
sitication, when the successes OF such u long
period of time have shown the accuracy of
the Judgment of those who first developed
the sugar industry IN the British West Iu-
dies. me great plains of ceptral and eastern
Europe have been producing wheat and
grains Of various kinds for thousands Of
years, ancient Greece and the countries
along the Mediterranean getting their sup
plies from the Black Sea country and beyond
more than two thousand years ago. Even
yet they have not done very much i'll the
way of dlyersifying their agriculture there,
but it has been because they had such Il
staple crop, one SO imperatively necessary
that it absorbed the attention OF the tlllers
OF the soil to the exclusion Of most other
crops. But even there, as we now know,
the sugar industry has entered, and Ger
many, Austria and Russia are among the
greatest sugar producers in the world, al
though they are In the very heart OF the
gram country.
The lQwness of the prices of sugar during
the last twenty years has created q great
deal OF distress in the British West Indies,
and has led to the forced sale of many sugar
plantation properties, and to earnest de-
mands upon the home government for hnan-
Glal relief, which has been rendered to these
colonies to some extent in tie way Of back
ing up some OF their central fuctory enter
prises. Now, however, we note in the Pc
rAodicals published undo the auspices 9f the
Agricultural Organization Of the British
West Indies, that studies are making OF the
imports of Indian corn. Barbados imports
nearly 100000 worth of indian corn per
annum, and the other colonies are importing
right along propOrtlOuate quantities, III adj
dltlOn to u moderate amount Of the home
product. It would seem that in their corn
culture they have been about as shiftless as
we have IN Louisiana, getting but from eight
to ten bushels Of corn per acre, when it is a
recognized fact in Louisiana, with intense
culture, that from 100 to $50 bushels per
acre can be produced, and that from 40 TO
50 bushels can be produced regularly, if
good and careful cultivation be given to the
crop,
Che West Indians are coming to this same
belief, and if they could get Il yield of corn
from their lands four or five times as great
as they now get, they would find hat pro
badly the low prices OF sugar would not hurt
them as severely as they now do, and that
Barbados alone would keep in her own fin
ancial circles the nearly 100000 that is
now being sent out annually for American
corn Louisiana Planter, Aug. 2md.

HOT WEATHER 0

Not a little of the discomfort and ill-health
experienced in hot weather may be trnced to
the use of unreasonable foods. II more ptO-
pie would stop to take thought about heir
diet and try to adjust 1t to the actual re-
q"uirempnts Of the body, there would be less
need for Summer 'tonics" and medicines.
The high temperatures Of ; ummer, DR.. WI
lev points out III the August number OF Good
housekeeping, make radiation from the body
less rapid, and to this extent diminish the
need OF fuel. Tie oils, fats, stalches, and
sugars, which are useful heat-forming foods
in Winter, should be reduced to a minimum
during hot weather. A moderate amount OF
the protein or albuminous foods, such as lean
meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and nuts, which are
required for the repair and growth OF the
body, and a liberal portion OF 1lpe fruits and
vegetables, make a good Summer diary. Or.
Wiley gives this advice:
OF course there is no such thing as a cool
ing food, since all foods, save those of purely
mineral character, are burned III the body.
But there are foods, such as oils and fats,
whose sole function is to furnish heat. You
will feel better, be less oppressed by the heat
of Summer, and better fitted for the duties
of the day, if fats and oils are largely replac-
ed bv succulert vegetables and acid fruits
during the dog days.
But fruits and vegetables are very often
covered with disease-breeding germs, and
DR.. Wiley advises that they be carefully peel
ed or cooked before being given to children.
Meat deteriorates quickly in Summer. and
it is safer to depend on fresh fish, eggs, and
vegetables ~proteins. OF icecream, Dr.. Wiley
says:
Strange as it may seem, the only cooling
thing about the ice cream is its temperature.
It is composed almost exclusively Of foods
which are burned in the body Fat and SUI
gar, which practically supply the food con-
tent of ice cream, are ideal heat formers. 1t
follows hat this delicacy should be eaten in
moderation and eaten slowly.
Alcoholic beverages and so-called "soft
drinks are likewise neither cooling nor
thirst quenching, and are better left alone.
Turn rather to the simple carbonated drinks
'of the fountain" he says, "the grape juices
''and other pure, natural fruit juices. such as
"lemon, lime, and orange, for refreshment."
We presume few dietetists will quarrel with
DR.. Wiley's advice on these points.-I5id-

You'd think they'd remember

and treat others as they would
have liked to have been treated.
But look at VIM. H. Wood,
head of the Wool Trust and the
man responsible for Lawrence.
Wood started out as an immi-
grant boy at about four a week.
And look at Eddie Hillman of
Hillman's department store. Ed
die was check boy in a store
once, but he seems to have forgot

Some employers have written
Lieut.-Gov. AO'Hara saying they
pay starvation wages, but would
like a law passed that would force
them to pay living wages.
That's pretty punk excuse for

he knows he is doing wrong.
What's eating fellows like that
that they can't get out and do the
