Thus cereals are not raised on a large scale, the hay crop Is unimportant and large quantities of flour, potatoes, meats, beans, canned goods, apples and other agricultural products are iip-j ported. Though many cattle are raised?, on tjie island, the dairy industry is as yet undeveloped. arJSi much milk, butter and cheese are brought from the United States and other countries. The rural largely engaged oh the great sugar plantations is essentially different from an agricultural state of the United States.
