WHEAT IN CUBA

| Cuba has been famous for tw,
crops, sugar and tobacco. They hav
been easy to raise. They have mad
her her wealth. They constituted ma
tural monopolies. She has been NOR,
satisfied with them than our Soutl
lever was with king Cotton"
And now the Cuban government Il
distributing wheat for seed, and tn,
sugar and tobacco planters are cheer
fully agreeing to use it. For the frs
time in her history Cuba /, expected
to have a considerable wheat crop In
1918.
It's only part Of general cam
'aign to make Cuba produce her own
ocd. The government is preparing
finance a great agricultural move
nent, intended to make the island in.
'ependent In this respect, and II pos
ible, to provide food surplus for
he benefit Of the Allies.
Hard necessity Is driving the Cub
ms to 1t. They are going 10 SOW
heat because they can't buy tho
dour they need. They are going to
raise pork because they are havlne
N"lardless days" They are undertake
ing cattle-raising for the same COM
pelling reason and going in for poul-
try and vegetables en- an unpreced
ented scale.
1t will be fine thing for Cuba. Her
soil Is wonderful rich Egyptia,
wheat grows about as well there n
in Egypt, and various staples can be
produced in abundance with little eff
fort. 1t will do no harm to use sore
Of the tobacco lands for foodstuffs
And there is plenty of available land
Tow uncultivated.
This is merely striking exempl-
flcation Of worldwide movement
Everywhere there is demand for
better utilization of the land, better
agricultural methods, greater food
production. At present it is merely
the natural response to an urgent
need. But the change is not for a
season or two only. And after the
war we shall reap the advantage. BY
that time every nation will have
learned the truth that of all economic
products food is the most important
Every nation will have improved its
methods of agriculture and made pos
sible the production of food in great
er abundance. There will be plenty
Of food then, and therefore cheap food
It will be one of the war compensa-

THE USE OF LIMESTONE DUST
ALONG THE SIDE OF LINE.
STONE Pixies FOR FER.
TILIZER
(By Mat. S. Cohen, Commissioner OF
Agricluture.)

(By Mat. S. Cohen, Commissioner OF
Agricluture.)
Through suggestion Of Hon. Rod
man Wiley, Commissioner CT Public
Reads, Frankfort, Kentucky, it oc-
ours to me that quite a valuable
amount of limestone dust accumulat-
ing along either side Of limestone
likes could be advantageously used by
farmers Of the respective sections by
hauling this dust and scattering same
on the weak and worn spots over the
farms. 1t would assist the counties
materially, because in that case they
would throw the material from the
edge of the road to the ditch with the
road grader, the farmers could haul
1t away and not only save the coun-
ties that expense, but at the same
time add badly needed fertilizer to
their land This would especially
benefit farmers of the blue grass Sec
ton, where all roads are made of
ground limestone rock and it is a
common sight to see on either side OF
the road great bdes of limestone dust
carried to the edges by wind and rain
and which are Of no value or aid in
the reconstruction or repairing of the
roads.
Therefore, earnestly urge County
Road Engineers to give this sugges
ton the consideration it so richly de-
serves and to cooperate with the
farmers in their respective sections.
looking toward the economic side of
the matter, in so far as relates to the
county as well as to the many advant-
ages which will accrue as a result of
the using of the waste.
The hue and cry has gone up all the
country to conserve all classes and
kinds of the commodities, therefore,
the more productive the soil, the
greater the output, and to that and
the above suggestion is offered.
