Fertilizers Necessary In South
The very nature Of our soil, climate
and rainfall makes 1t impossible to
farm successfully without regularly
feeding our crops from artificial
sources with at least two OF the sew
eral principal elements entering into
the composition and development Of
plant life. Without fertilizers much Of
the best producing cotton lands in the
South would become unproductive and
farming would be Improbable. In
many states, except in a few locali-
ties. soil is no more capable OF pro-
ducing without beng fertilized than
stock Is capable of performing work
without being fed. Our lands must be
fed just as we feed the stock that
work them or they will become too
poor to even pay the cost and expense
OF cultivation.

SOME EARLY SET-BACKS.

When we acquired the street car
and lighting property in 1906 it was
estimated that further investment
would be needed to bring the property
to an earning basis.
Our purchase was based on an es-
innate of future expense for develop
ment. The preliminary estimate was
made in good faith and was as nearly
accurate as possible in advance of
actual performance.
But every extension, every develop
ment, has cost from two to three
times the original estimate.
The Caguas line was no sooner built
than floods made reconstruction Of a
considerable portion necessary. This
work and reconstructing the trolley
system were at their height when the
1907 panic made financing almost i'm
possibly expensive.
The set-backs, while discouraging
and costly, did not cause us to lose
faith in our task or in the belief
that when finished thousands of

scanned carefully the article in question: failing to see any
reasonable cause for that accusation
When we congratulated Delegate Fernandez Garcia we
as Porto Rcan did so, in general way for the frank
manner in which he discusses these almportant public
questos we adhered ourselves to the constructive sane
and honest criticism in the Delegates article II
Fernandez Garcia means anything Interior, any ugly
charge that may reflect the private character OF any
member of the Senate Of the Lower House. we do not
at all associate ourselves with him. we know nothing
about the personal affairs of the Senators and Delegates

We never use pen for personal insult but IN our
constant endeavor to lift country to the civilized
level of others we have lived I'M and the only way to
accomplish that by educating public opinion IN the best

In conclusion we desire to say that if there is really
any wishes in this country for Liberty and Progress
there must certainly exist here liberal and progressive
press and on the contrary the best way to kill in Porto
Rico all craving for Liberty and Progress is by mzzng
the newspapers letting them print only what grattes all
public servants from the Governor down. and never say
