ENCOURAGEMENT

Based on y report that the
people of La Grande Princesse
had to load the Virgin Islands
Company's bagoons at the end
OF the last crop, in addition to
unloading their own carts, max
ing It extremely difficult for
them to make enough trips to
get their canes to the scale
house, the president of the St.
Croix Federation of Small
Landholders interviewed the
officials of the company and
was informed Il that the main
office is not aware of such an
order being issued and asked
that the rumor be disregarded.

Rep. Arthur Miller
on the Virgin Islands
TRADE AND INDUSTRY

The advent of modern ships,
the alrplane, and twentieth cen
fury communications has hurt
the Virgin Islands commercial
ly. The magnificent port at
Charlotte Amalie is no longer
necessary to the merchant
fleets visiting the Western
Hemisphere and there has been
a consequent decline in all
branches Of trade and industry
as a result. The replacement of
this lost revenue and the esta-
blishment of business in fairly
large volume on a se1f-liqui-
dating basis is the principal
need of the islands. No people
can long remain self-respect-
ing when they are supported
by the funds of another. It
should be the purpose of the
Federal Government to en-
courage local industries by
loans and other measures ra-
ther than merely to provide
work relief projects. It should
be the purpose of the inhabi-
tants of the islands to improve
their technical ability and
more especially their work ha-
bits, so as to produce the
wealth necessary for a secure
and satisfactory life.

NOTICE FROM THE POLICE

Section Al of Chapter VII of
the Ordinance for the Munich
pality of st. Croix known as
the Police Regulations reads
as follows:
Every dog must be licensed
License tags shall be renew
ed every year during the
month OF January; and there
after throughout the year the
owner shall similarly secure
a license tag and certificate
for each and every dog when
it reaches the age of three
months.
Imported dogs must be Ii
censed within thirty days af-
ter their arrival.
Subsection (a)
The fee for a license tag for
a dog shall be $500 per an
mum for the town and legal
suburbs, and $1.00 per annum
for the country districts.
Subsection (b)
The Police Department shall
take up or shoot any dog
found without proper license
tags, any bitch in heat, any
dog roaming the streets or
public roads after nine o'clock
p. m. and before six o'clock
a. m. Dogs taken up may be.
redeemed within 48 hours
upon payment of a fine of
$500, and the payment of the
proper license fee if found
without license tag attached
to the collar. Dogs thus not re-
deemed shall be destroyed by
the police"
In view of the fragrant vio-
lation of the aforementioned
ordinance, the Police Depart
ment takes this opportunity
to inform the public in gener-
al that att 2 very rigid and strict
campaign is being planned and
will be ready for execution
not later than February Is,
1948, by the Police Depart
ment in order to eradicate
the dog nuisance that has
been disturbing the commun-
ity for many years.

NO0AAoI hO41dI Is not as wide

ever, islands have a peculiar
advantage in climate, beauty,

Virgin Islands Company and.
the local government should
proceed with steps to turn
these fine acquisitions to COM
mercial tourist use. Leasing ar
engagements with a private in

over Government operation.
All groups which could posi-
slbly be interested or which
could give information and as
slstence should be contacted.
These would include the Unit

teal Chamber of Commerce,
American Hotel Association,
steamship lines, airlines, ira

groups. Sound offers by respon
sible firms propably cannot be
obtained without the waging
OF an active campaign. Pictures
should be taken, costs develop

which will publicize the adj,

for the soil to seal up when the
salts were removed with pure wa
ter. The moisture capacity did rise
Is the salt was leached from the
soils but with continued teaching
there was a tendency for the soils
to return to lower moisture ca
pacity and less alkaline reaction.
The first evidence Of improve
ment in fertility of the alkali soils
in this experiment was a change of
the plant growth from alka1i weeds,
such as poverty weed, to a thick
stand of sweet clover. The stand de-
veloped from seed already in the
ground that would not terminate in
the alkali soil before teaching. The
estimated cost of the experiment, $35
an acre, was considered moderate in
view of the change from alkali
weeds to good alfalfa.
