Sugar cane, tobacco, coffee, and fruits are the chief products of the island. Porto Rico's rivers have been among the agencies which have con- tributed most to her growth in wealth. The soil is fertile, but it has to be thor- oughly cultivated. Sugar cane was imported into Porto Rico from the Canary Isles 300 years ago. The plantations range in size from small plots up to thousands of acres. The planting is done between October and December and the crop is gathered some time between Jan- uary and May. The exact time of planting of each field depends upon the dryness of the soil. The cane is planted in hills, four feet apart, by setting cuttings in the ground. The two upper joints are de- tached from 'the stalk of cane and these slips are set in the furrows made by the plow. Two slips are planted together, ten inches deep. The top of each shoot is left above the soil, about an inch of the green tips show- ing. When the cane is well planted it will take care of) itself for eight ori ten years, since the roots send up1 shoots. In other words, sugar cane replants itself. Most farmers re-1 plant, however, every four or five years. The cane grows best in the, thick, black soil of the southern cost.1 There are many large sugar mills in1 The free tariff was thought to be a death blow to the sugar industry of the island, for Porto Rico could not produce as much sugar as Cuba and other of her competitors, and conse- quently could not sell it cheaply and still draw a profit on its At first sev- eral of the sugar mills went out of business. The European war has been a great help to the industry,showever, due to the-great demand for sugar. It is selling at a high price and brings a good income to the island. The tobacco industry stands second to the production of sugar. Tobacco is successfully grown only in a rich soil. The soil needs to be enriched each year by strong fertilizers, since tobacco weakens its productive power. The low-lying foothills near the val- ley levels and under the shadows of the more rugged mountains furnish good tobacco fields. Between July and November the plants begin to grow and the tobacco leaf is ready for cutting by the middle or last of March. The leaves are then dried. Porto Rican tobacco is one of the finest tobaccos in the world. Many of the so-called Havana brands come from Porto Rico. Large tobacco fac- tories are to be found in the largest cities and the work is done by thou- sands of men and women. A trip through a tobacco factory is exceed- ingly interesting and very instructive.

Mon., Tues., Wed. 21 Book Published in Honor of Museum Curator at Washington; Issue Limited to 200 Copies A copy of "Holmes Anniversary Volume of Anthropological Essays," which was presented to W. H. Holmes, curator of the National museum at Washington, on his seventieth birth- day by his friends and co-laborers, has been received by the University Li- brary. "The University is very fortunate in securing a copy of this work," said Librarian William Bishop, "in view of the fact that but 200 copie.s were is- sued. The donation of this book to Mr. Holmes is in accordance with the Ger- man custom of giving a man a set of essays, usaally written by his students or colleagues, upon a subject in which he is interested, as a token of esteem." According to Librarian Bishop, this custom is gaining popularity in this country. Up to the present time there has been but few instances in which a man has been honored in this man- ner in the United States. The volume is handsomely bound and contains numerous engravings. Some of the more important articles included are: "The Influence of Geol- ogy on the Human Development," by Gerard Fowke; "The Cult of the Axe," by George Grant MacCurdy, and nu- merous subjects concerning the Indian, race and cliff dwellers. MARINES ARE GOOD MARKSMEN Seventy-three Per Cent of Corps Have "Skilled" Ranking Washington, Jan. 20-Declarations that since the days of frontier life have passed, Americans are no longer en- titled to their former fame as rifle- men are completely refuted by statis- tics, say officers of the United States marines. These officers recently com- piled data showing that splendid shoot- ing qualities are still characteristic of American troops. More than 73 per cent of the 6,141 members of the United States marine corps who fired during 1916, on the 14 marine corps rifle - ranges, are qualified skilled men, according to the table just compiled. Of these sea soldiers, 921, or 15 per cent, are ex- pert riflemen; 1,044, or 17 per cent, are sharpshooters; and 2,518, or 41 per cent, are marksmen. It is doubtful if Leatherstocking him- self could outshoot them, say the ma- rines., p J -HOP 0 r+ 1917 .
