there has grown up in the
last twenty years on the basis Of

ern American state that, although
politically Independent, thanks TO
US. Is to all intents and purposes
practically a part OF the United
States.
A realization Of how little we
know Of this new land of Cuba was
brought forcibly 10 public attention
By the recent visit to this country
OF the Cuban Commercial Mission
appointed by the President of Cuba
to present Cuba's financial plight
and TO plead against the imposition
OF 90 per cent Increase 10 the
tariff on CuhSn sugar. This in
crease was enacted In the emer-
gency tariff and is now making II
difficult for Cuba TO recover from
the serious business and financial
depression which affiicts the island.

enactment Of this so per cent In

| are also found in paying quantities.
| and in recent years numerous COM
panies have been formed to develop
| these resources.
Cuba Is also rich IN timber. There
are 1867 varieties OF valuable hard
woods found In her forests. OF
these only cedar and mahogany are
imported to this country In any
quantity. This natural resources
has as yet been little exploited.
But In agriculture lies Cuba's
wealth. Soil and climate combine
to make her one of the most fertile
bits OF land on the globe. Sugar
and tobacco. OF course, are her prin-
cipal crops, and In these the Cuban
farmer has become a specialist.
With an annual output Of over
1000 600 long tons of raw sugar she
is far and away the greatest sugar
producing country In the world.
Her annual crop brings her in some
$3.50. 900, 600 today. and upon the
prosperity of this one industry de-
ponds largely the general prosperity
of the Cuban people. 1t can easily
be seen then how much Importance
n attached to the present visit of
the Cuban mission and Its effort to
avert the enactment OF q rCinous
American tariff against sugar. In
ssmuch as Cuba depends upon the
United States as market for half
Of her enormous sugar crop. Over
billion dollars, more than half
American capital, Is Invested I'm
sugar production in Cuba.
Tobacco, her second largest crop,
is worth over S50.00o.OOO a year to
her. About three-ffths Of this crop
is exported. the greater part OF Il
to the United States.
Two other agricultural products
imported from Cuba 20 the United
States in large quantities are pine
apples and honey. Practically all
Of Americas importations OF pine
apples, amounting TO nearly $4,000.
600 a year are from Cuba. Our
imports of honey from Cuba amount
to we'll over 100000 annually, or
about half our total imports of that
commodity.
Coffee is another large agricul.
turaI product OF Cuba. Cubans are
said to be the greatest coffee drink
ers on earth.
Other considerable agricultural
products are rnangoes. cilrons.
fruits. bananas, grapes. cacao, va-
nila. potatoes. tomatoes. eggplants.
peppers. okra. squash. beans. corn.
wheat. rice and peanuts. Stock
raising, including horses, cattle.

industry.
