PORTO RlCAN FOOD PRODUCTS
Large Increase Of All Kinds Reported
on the Island During tho
Fiscal Year 1918.

As q result of the food-production
campaign carried on by the expert
ment station and cooperating agen-
cies in Porto Rico, it is reported
that the area devoted to food crops
was increased 43 per cent during the
fiscal year 1918. Large areas usually
devoted to a second tobacco crop
were planted to corn and beans. Dur
ing the year Porto Rico became an
exporter of beans instead of heavy
importer. 1t is estimated that more
than $4,000 domestic gardens were
planted during the year. Co-opera-
tive work in rice growing was begun
In different parts of the island to de-
termine the possibility of developing
this industry. Porto Rico imports
about $5,OOO,O0O worth of rice an
nually, and it is believed that at least
half of this amount could be pro
duced at home.

Bow Scout Week, June 8-14.-A
Proclamation.

The Boy Scout movement
should not only be preserved, but
strengthened. 1t deserves the
support of all public-spirited eiti-
Gems. The available means for the
Boy Scout movement have thus
far sufficed for the organization
and training of only a. small pro-
portion of the boys of the country.
There are approximately lO,000,-
600 boys in the United States be-
tween the ages of twelve and
twenty-one. Of these only $780,
600 are enrolled as members OF
the Boy Scouts of America.
America cannot acquit herself
commensurately with her power
and influence in the great period
now facing her and the world I'm
less the boys of America are CIV
en- better opportunities than here
tofore to prepare themselves for
the responsibilities of citizenship.
Every nation depends for its
future upon the proper training
and development of its youth.
The American boy must have the
best training and discipline our
great democracy can provide it
America is to maintain her ideals,
her standards and her Influence
in the world.
The plan, therefore, for a Boy
Scout week during which a uni
versal appeal will be made to all
Americans to supply the means to
put the Boy Scouts of America in
a position to carry forward ef-
fectively and continuously the
splendid work they are doing for
the youth Of America, should have
the unreserved support of the Ma
ton.
Therefore, !. Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do hereby recommend
that the period beginning Sunday
June 9th, to Flag Day, June 14th,
be observed as Boy Scout Week
through the United States for the
purpose Of strengthening the
work of the Boy Scouts of Aneri-
ca.
l earnestly recommend that, in
every community, citizens COM
mittee under the leadership of a |
National Citizens Committee, be |
organized to cooperate in carry
ing out the program for a def
mite recognition of the effective
services rendered by the Boy |
Scouts Of America; for survey
of the facts relating to the buy
hood of each community, in order
that with the cooperation of
churches, schools and other or
CARNATIONS definitely in work for
boys. adequate provision may be
made for extending the Boy Scout !
program to larger proportion OF
American boyhood.
The Boy Scout movement offers
unusual opportunity for volunteer
service. 1t needs men to act as
committeeman and as leaders of
groups of boys. 1 hope that all
who can will enlist for such per-
sonal service, enroll as associate
members and give all possible fl
nandial assistance to this worthy
organization of American boy
hood. Anything that is done to
increase the effectiveness of the

Mayor Ainslie yesterday attached
his signature to the ordinance leas-
ing to the New York, Baltimore
ana Richmond Steamship company a
part of the ciey wharf which will
be used in the operation of a regu-
lar line to and from this city to
other ports along the Atlantic sea-
board.
The contract is now consum-
mated and saillngs of the Steamer
Maple are scheduled to begin on
November FIRST, when the vessel
will leave New York for its initial
voyage to Richmond. Though the
instrument under which the wharf
is leased TO the company requires
only two sailings a month for the
first year Of operation, ii is believed
the company will make better
record than this. since such a slim
business could hardly be put on a
paying basis
The vessel will carry both pas
sengers and freight. Until it gets a
good start, however it is not in
tended by the company 70 do much
