Virgin Islands Export Sugar.

The most important agriculture in
the Virgin islands is sugar, of which
approximately ten thousand tons was
exported in 1919. In 1919 the govern
ment succeeded in opening the Porto
Rican market to cattle from the Is
lands. About $4,000 worth of cattle
were exported. and 1t is thought that
the cattle-raising industry will eventu-
ally become an important one Expor-
tation OF cattle to Porto Rico formerly
was prohibited on the ground that the

After the ducklings have been con

the broOder and give them their first
feed. The brooder should be operated
at a temperature of about % degrees
Fahrenheit at first and gradually re-
duced to so or So degrees within a
week or 10 days, say poultry special
lists Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture. The temperature may
be reduced quite rapidly, depending
on the season of the year. Keep the
ducklings comfortable. When uncom-
Portable they will crowd together and
try to get nearer the heat, but if COM
Portable they will spread out under
the hover.
Confine DuckIings at First.
The ducklings should be confined
around the hover at first until they
have learned TO return to the source
Of the heat. In the winter green duck
hngs usually require heat until they
are marketed, but later in the season
artificial heat may be removed after
two TO four weeks. Cool brooder
houses without any heat, or with only
a few hOt-water pipes on the rear
walls Of the building, are used early
In the spring for the ducklings after
they are 4 to 6 weeks old.
The breeders and brooding systems
used for chickens give good results
In rearing ducklings. Hot-water pipe
systems have probably been used more
extensively by commercial duck grow

temperatures as chickens, and very
