Cultivation of Hemp
Islands Big Monopoly.

closely resembles the banana plant.
There are many varieties of hemp, Cal
cutta. bowstring and Bombay hemp, but
none Of these compares with the famous
Manila hemp. None other in the world
compares with it either in tensile
strength, lightness or length Only In
the Philippines does 1t grow luxuriantly
in the wild state and attempts to intro
duce it for purposes of cultivation in
places where closely related species
thrive have met with little or no sue
cess.
Up to 1875 practically no hemp was
exported. About that time primitive but
more or less systematic efforts to culti-
vate it were made. and its production
rapidly expanded. BY 1857 the value Of
raw and manufactured hemp exceeded
that of any other exported product
1t continued its pre-eminence except
ing in 1892 and 1893. when sugar took
the first place. and in 1912, when 1t was
eclipsed by small margin by copra
for centuries. According to a version ac-
copied in some parts of Luzon and the
Visayans. the Chinese introduced sugar
and legend hath 1t that they brought 1t
from Formosa. 1t is also said that Ba-
tavia supplied the proper cane to the
springs from Tahiti stock
he fact that the old-time methods of
sugar cultivation are the same as those
employed In FOrmOsa. and that the same
Chinese names OF influence are still used
strongly corrOborates this theory. Five
varieties Of sugar cane are grown In the
islands proper, white, red, green striped.
and the black with white rings at the
joints.

been the steady smoke of the races Of
the orient for several decades. The
tobacco plant in the Philippines is Of
American origin. 1t originally was in
troduced in the island from Mexico by
Spanish missionaries in the latter part
of the sixteenth century. and it is be-
lieved that certain varieties from the
United States were introduced about
two decades ago.
From the time of it's introduction until
1871 the Spanish government did not pay
much attention to it, but in that year
the Island of Luzon. But this did not
prevent Independent growers Of the
Visayans from disposng Of their prod
ucts. The government monopoly expired
in 1852.
In that year it supplied 80 per cent
of the annual budget, but its many evils,
including certain forms Of slavery. re-
suited in bringing the monopoly to an
end. This led to the growth OF -four
ishing companies. particularly La Tab
acalera," in northern Luzon.
The esta blishment of free trade be-
tween the United States and the Philip
pines in 1909 gave the tobacco industry
another tremendous boost. The islands
export from D.0OOOOO to 0,OOO.OOO cigars
year to the United States and are
permitted by law to ship in as many as
100000 cigars per annum free OF duty.
The big factories in Manila turn out
millions of cigarettes a day, the best
grades selling in packages of thirty for
5 cents, American money. The cigarette
is one of the necessities OF life In the
Philippines, and even the government al
lots each prisoner certain number each
day.

INTERESTING
LETTER FROM
OLD MEXICO

Mr. Ed lesson of Ester creek, last
week received a most interesting let
ter from his brother John A. lesson
who owns and runs ranch in
Mexico. Mr.. lesson tells about the
general conditions of the hlighted
republic. and of the atrocities com
mitted on all sides. the most revolt
ing of which We're perpetrated by
the laquis Indians.
The lesson ranch is situated about
81 miles from Guaymas. in the state
Of Sonora. and is in the center of
where active warfare has been going
on for some time
Mr.. lesson in his letter stated
that he did not think the rebels
would reach Guaymas II now de
velops that Mr.. lessons opinion was
erroneous for the telegraphic com
muncations received by The Citizen
week ago stated that the rebels
had taken possession of Guaymas
and were in control of the surround
ng country.
From the letter it appears that
the better class of MeXicans, ranch
ers and business men, do not care
which party gets in power so long
as peace is restored.
Many friends of Mr.. lesson are
anxiously awaiting to see if he had
to leave Sonora on account of the
activities of the rebels. as he stated
in his letter that the warship Da
kota was lying a short distance off
shore. and that if it became too hot
for him at any time he could leave in
safety
