MADE BMTHW
FORESTRY PRO'ESSOR ENGAGED
AS CONSUI/ ING ADVISOR
OF FtUlCOMPANY
TEAK TO UPPLANT CANE
Cuba Beginning to Realize All Land
Not Suitable for Raising
Sugar Crops
Despite his regular duties as an
instructor in the School of Forestry
and Conservation, Prof. Donald M.
Matthews acts as consulting forester
for the United Fruit company and the
Cuba company. These concerns are
proposing to reforest lands in Cuba
how idle. Professor Matthews spent
the summer in Cuba planning fot the
estaiblishment of forest plantations
andsexperimenting with the types of
trees suitable to the climate of the
1ountry.
"Cuba was hard hit by the drop of
sugar prices after the war," Professor
Matthews sald. "Prices dropped from
twenty cents a pound to two and one-
half cents for raw sugar. Consequent-
ly, sugar cane could not be raised at
a profit and a great amount of the
land which had' been cpltivated be-
fore will now have to go out of cu -
tivation. The two companies men-
tioned have over 30000 acres of
idle land now.
Valu *alized
"Tle ttUited F'huit coinpany and the
Cuba" cohnpaity ave realized a con-
si erable amounnt' of uncultivated
lands could be used by planting for-
ests on te&i. The sugar industry ex-
panded greatly during the war and
a concurrent decrease of forested
lands was noted. Recent agricul-
tural expahs'ion has been brought
about at the expense of forest areas.
The forest asset has been largely de-
stroyed, and although the pockets of
the present generation have not yet
felt it, the large areas of idle land
represent a great economic loss which
will have to be measured, not only by
the cost of imported timber, but also
by the gradual reduction in the value
of the soil upon which successful ag-
riculture depends."
All Land Not Suited
'Cuba is just beginning to realize
that all of her land is not suitable for
the produdtion of sugar. An effort is
being niade to curtail the utilization
of the land for the raising of sugar
crps. Porests have been suggested
s a sustitute. A carefulexamina-i
ti6n of the retnaliing forests of Cubaj
showed that the yield per' acre was
very low. The only species of trees
which have rapid growth, such as
niagany and cedar, have practically
been exterminated in Cuba. Two
small experimental nursuries have
been established by Professor Mat-
thews in Cuba to experiment with
new trees suitable to Cuban soil.
Artificial propagation of such valua-
ble species as mahogany, cedar, and
teak have been successful in Trini-
dad and Venezuela, according to Pro-
fessor Matthews. Such trees may
prove to be successful in Cuba, Pro-
fessor Matthews 'believes, and may
help to utilize lands which are now
unproductive.
Although Professor Matthews has
now accepted a permanent position
with the School of Forestry and Con-
servation his services have been re-
tained by the United 1'ruit coinpany
and the Cuba company as a consult-
ant, and he will visit their .roerties
in Cuba twice a year to advise them
on forest matters.
