originally written for the
Saturday Evening Post by

version by Roberto Diaz Con-
zalez of Cuba. The Key West

La RaYmer who managed to
extract a few more choice
phrases from the story con-
corning Hemingway. Here is
the gist of them:
Hemingway. who was
born in Oak Park. a suburb
of Chicago. has lived at his
farm vigia. surrounded by
dogs and goats since l94o.
The place in the country out
side Havana apparently has
all the elements Hemingway
enjoys; sunlight. deep sea for
fishing, q fondness for Span
ish and the tranquil life of a
retired farmer. although he
lives only an hour and half
from the city of Havana. and
six hours by air from New
York City.
Hemingway and his wife.
Mary. are only two of the
$500 North Americans who
live in the Havana area. Nor
is Hemingway the only writer
from North America who has
succumbed to the peculiar
fascination of the city. Among
others are J. p. McEvoY.

growers average returns of $3.50 per
hundred pounds of thresher-run
beans. This compares with an aver
age return of $3.50 per hundred
pounds on the 1850 crop.
Specific support rates for various

same classes of beans, including
Great Northern and Pinto, that were
supported in 1850 will be supported
this year but there will be some
changes in the price relationship be-
