 For many years" said Captain Reno, Cuba has been known prin- cipally for two principal crops-su- gar and tobacco. Accordingly, the
 imports into Cuba of standard food stuffs, such as fresh meats, potatoes, vegetables and fats, have not shown any reduction in the face of the 1 fact that Cuba's material resources from agriculture have practically
 doubled in the past few years. This is a condition which the Cuban De- partment of Agriculture is now en- gagged in remedying, and purpose to gain from Mr. Hoover detailed , suggestions as to how this work may be carried on still more ef- ficiently.'
