CUBA'S GREAT
CROP OF SUGAR
$500 Per Capita for Total
Population of
Island.

NEW YORK. Aus. I2.-sugar
Ike shows We once took FOR granted.
Now procuring enough for the pre-
serving season may be n problem,
and sugar "speakeasiea" arc not un-
common In lands where the supply
is rationcd. Writing to the National
Geographic society, william Joseph
Showalter says:
with sugar production nearly
doubled and prices moro than quad
rupled since 1912. one can readily
sec why cuba is tho worlds III Do
rado OF 1920, and why sugar is its
king.
"Thc Imagination is almost over
powered In attempting TO compre-
hend the vast proportions of the
sugar industry OF the island as II
exists this year.
THE cane produced ls of such tre-
mcndous volume that n procession
Of bull teams, four abreast, reaching
around the earth, would be required
To move Il. The crop would suffice
to build solid wall around the en-
tire 2.O00 miles Of the islands coast
line as high as an ordinary dwelling
house and thick enough for n file OF
four men 10 walk abreast on Il.
The sugar extracted from this
cane would load n fleet OF steamers
reaching from Havana TO Now York,
with a ship for every mile OF the
100 that stretch between the two
ports. The great pyramid Of

proportions millions OF people have

amazement, remains, after 5000

year would make two pyramids

Cheops

crop brings I'm IL not ltss remarka BILE
I'm its proportions. Four hundred
dollars out Of n single crop for
every human being who lives on the
island--a sum almost aa great as the
per capita wealth produced by all

Sugar cane is grown by three
classes Of planters In Cuba. Per-
haps the major part OF the crop is
grown by share farmers, or col
onas,' as they are called. Tho own
ers OF the sugar mills furnish them
with n given number OF acres OF
land to plant and give them an
agreed share of the sugar they pro-
duce.
"The next class is composed OF tho
land-owning farmers who grow
their own cane and have it ground
on shares. after the fashion OF the
rural grlst mill. The remainder OF
the cane is grown by the owners OF
the mills themselves. At some CEN
trails tho administration cane, as
that grown under central manage
ment is known, amounts TO only
per cent of the total; at others Il
amounts to 90 per cent.
Even the share farmer, at pre-
war prices, made money. According
to Cuba Before the World the Of
ficial handbook OF the republic at
the Panama Pacific exposition, when
sugar was selling at 2.62 cents a
pound, his share OF the sugar
brought him, on the basis OF twelve
sacks to the acre. a return OF from

How We dogs DO like an automobile
ride. My missy used To own a little

though within the last week or 50 I've

il would be almost the same
MY missy and | share everything
together And I've heard talk about
which sorts of horns we're the best. or
which horn made the iOudcSt and at
the same time the most pleasant noise
of all.
1T strikes me that when they begin
TO talk of horns there must be some
thing going to happen in the way of
getting an automobile. Now | heard
them speak of which engine was bet
ter than another and of which make
required least repairs. Repairs, you
know, are things being mended. Auto
mobiles have to he mended just like
ladies' dresses and little dogs jackets
and blankets.
And there was talk about which
