Sugar Cane Being
Planted In Cuba
Instead of Tobacco
(By Associated PrcGs)

Havana, Oct. 17.-Distress in
the tobacco growing regions OF Ha-
yana and Pinar del Rio has become
so acute that the government Is at
a loss to find means for relief. Many
tracts, once OF enormous value for
the cultivation of the finest tobacco
and At for little else nave been
aban doned, or partly utilized for
sugar or vegetables for the Havana
market. Numerous causes are
ascrined. the foremost being that
the world has decreased Its demand
for The once unrivaled Cuban leaf.
This has been the case particularly
az concerns Europe and the p resent
war has served to make conditions
worse. Much of the last two crops
remain unsold.
A governmental commission Is
now working in India and the Phil
ippines in the hope Of finding some
crops which may be grown with a
reasonable profit on the abandoned
tobacco plantations Of Cuba.
