THE MICHIGAN DAILY PLAS T' RFOEST IDL LLANDSU O CUBA 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.
