should take just pride in such a COM
mendable showing, as well as in the
record of service in France which
stands to their credit.

Cuba. NEGLECTED. Resources.

Though an agricultural state. there
are important branches Of agriculture
that are all but wanting in Cuba.
Thus cereals are not raised on a large
scale, the hay crop Is unimportant and
large quantities Of -four, potatoes,
meats. beans. canned goods. apples and
other agricultural products are i'm
ported. Though many cattle are raised
on the island, the dairy industry is
as yet undeveloped, and much milk,
butter and cheese are brought from
the United States and other countries.
The rural population largely engaged
on the great sugar plantations is es-
sentially different from an agricultural
state Of the United States.
