HAITI WILL SPEND
 MONEY ON HER SOIL
,?eatiOn Of Technical Bureau in
 Department Of Agriculture

Port-Au-Prince. Haiti, May 16-The creation of a technical bureau of the Haitian department of agriculture is the newest phase of the American ad- ministration of the island. An extra ordinary credit of S17O,000 has been voted by the council of state to carry it through the initial stages, and it has been placed under Dr. George r. Freeman, recently nominated by President Coolidge and confirmed by President Borno.
 Dr. Freeman has just concluded an Q tended personal investigation of the agricultural potentialities of Haiti, and expresses great optimism regard ing its future. Travelling for the greater part on horseback, he visited and questioned the small farmers. the priests and gendarme officers, the local dignitaries and school teachers, and reports that he was most favor ably impressed with the outlook.
 He found large areas eXcellently adapted to the cattle-growing indus try, with unlimited growth of peren- nia, grasses. In the hill lands he found excellent soil for yields of grain. sugar cane, cotton, vegetable and fruits and. generally speaking, soils of good agricultural quality that, with proper treatment, will assure produc- tivity on profitable scalo.
 The climate impressed him as ad- mirabe for the production of all tropical field crops and fruits. and many stretches need but irriga- ton necessary for economic crops, while at present they are well adapted for the growing of cotton, dates and citrous fruits. The plateaus and noun tain sides are capable without trriga- ton for general farming. fruit grow ing and vegetablet raising. Between the mountain ranges were found level lands where large plantations of cot ton, sugar cane and bananas are pos sible on a profitable scale.
 With the new field practically vir. gin, Dr. Freeman plans to build his structure from the ground up. He will start with the nucleus of com plete organization and will develop from the Haitian people the personnel required, rather than by the employ mcnt of experts from outside sources. The organization will be moulded along the lines that has succeeded in the United States. Forestry will also come under his supervision, and a corps of trained foresters will be developed to handle this work.

Disease, Not Laziness
 Causes TrOpic Lethargy

Honolulu, May 16.--Victims of the anguorous life of the tropics are more to be pitied than ecnsured, ac- cerding to the view expressed before tho Pan-Pacific club here by E. F.. Baker. for ten years resident of the Philippine Islands.
 Mir. Baker asserted that there is lit- lie foundation for the opinion that the tropics produce laziness, adding that what is apparent laziness is noth- ing more than the effects Of tropical disease. The control or elimination Of these diseases will bring the peoples Of tropical countries Into more even competition with those residents in temperate cllmes, he heeld.
 Referring to the resources of the Philippines, Mir. Baker declared that one acre in a tropical land Is worth two in e temperate country.
