Throughout the country the percentage

The infant mortality among negroes is
nearly twice that among whites and
deaths by homicide, partly growing from

eight times as numerous. A nationwide

toes this island is producing. What the
Director Of The Station does with the 20.
tatoes grown at the Station? He gives
them away to the roor people, and that is
a great help to them. What are the es-
tate owners doing at present, they are
wiring their states TO raise cattle and
thereby chasing the latoring class of
people from the island.
End Member for Christiansted Country
District (JQctSOn) remarked: MIR. Chair
man, | rise to say that it seems as if the
nature Of my remark is misunderstood.
Here we have a piece of property belong
ing to the Municipality. The Aqricultur.
al Department has the use of that tract
of land for experimental purposes; they
have never been prevented by the Coun-
Gil for eriarglug their sphere If aCtiVi-
ties, we fHd that The property owes five
or SIX thousand dollars, it the Federal
Government want to take over the es-
tate Why cont they 10y the Indebtedness
to the In migration Fund before takidg 1t
over We are willing to go half and half.
The Hon, 1st Appointed Member spoke of
one good thing the Station is doing, the
seeding Of a species OF cane known as r.
A W hich is sold to many of the neighbor-
ing islands and is in great demand in
Louisiana. At the time this cane was
produced this poor lit lie community was
maintaining the Station and DR.. Long
field Smith was then its director. At that
time | believe the Station had only Sill,
coo to experiment with, today it is receiv-
ing a yearly appropriation OF $50, GOO and
we have no cotton cultivation on the. is
land and no attempt is being made to i'm
prove the staple industry the sugar
came. 1t has been said that the Station
is experimenting on sweet potatoes. |
don't want to criticize any experiment
made at tie Station. If there is any
thing to be gained IN the growing Of po-
tatoeS make experiments t day. tomOr-
row and all the time. 1t is alright to
make experiments, but we want to know
that when we turn over the Station to
the Federal Government we are going to
get The best results and the whole island
is gong TO Der eft thereby. must not
be forgotten that, at present they have
authority to use all the land, in fact
they have so done. They have erected
buildings, they have improved THEN water
system, they have improved the estate to
an appIeclable degree. | do not see how
they can say the estate is not belonging
to them; it is United States property. In
considering that we must also consider
that if we turn over this piece Of proper
ty we would be lessening our assets
