weather has recently been driest In
that section. No centrals had started

Cane The suspension Of the rains
was considered favorable for field
work in connection with the cultiva-

ration of new s0wings. The stoppage
of the rains, as well as the low tenn
perature, is not considered favorable
to the cane in central Matanzas, north

the prevailing conditions have stopped
the growth and more rain would be
beneficial In the province of Pinar
