CUBAN SUGAR ON THE WAY TO THE MILL.

Of tbe total area Kit Cuba, abaut rjd.Wd.UOO acres, it ! estimated that not more than ;i,u(kVik)() acres are at present available for caaa raising and adapted to it. About two-thirds of thai is now used for sugar raisingIt is possible that ono- 750,000 acres of swamp land itilirht, when draincil, be usable also. There are, however, few of these tracts both larize enough and rightly located t make cane srowlnp profitalde. Theoretically stirar prod:icint: in.!t?ht be increased to 7.0fN.i.OOO locg tons ann tniiv ia Cuba. I'ractictiliy nowhere

indits-rry cut the proportion of that land- ii Cuba are adapted to the 'mtaodliy d.ovn to less than S ;-r ; pr..n::il.h. ealtlvar'on "t s'l.irar cam cent, of tii,. nicle ati.T redueecT tb" and that the niia-.tai i-r tc:ir..n of

F5otwen tbe opinio? of tho war world.

where would the labor supply come

from? The most desfrablo soil for cane fields is the virtrin forest Irnd. The accumulated h'anujs of centuries produces tin Idea! arowtli of cane. The -aJ.r cane -e?pontls readily proper ft-rtii'zia.. ;nd fcrtili.or is Veins used more and more. Ia preparing this forest land for

cane growing tbo nseful timber ts removed aud the rest of tbe wood burned on the land. Owing to the

j, previous shade the soli ia free from

weed and requires little preparation for planting. For tbe first planting men with heavy sharp poiated "Jique" sticks about live foet long cross and reeross the fields in paralleled lines punching holes wirb these stakes four or five feet apart, r'ae;- are followed hy men carrying sacks of cane cut into short pieces of one or two joints each. A piece of (Sine is thrust Into each, bole, ami the earth, la pressed over It with the bars feet. The new cane shoots np from the eyes of the planted section?? of cane. When cane Is planted en tbe open "savnna" land the rows are laid out with more regularity and cultivated with modern machinery. By the cad of eighteen months fi-f-av tho first pianiiiiji the cane is ready for the miil. Cutters with heavy machetes hew down the caae

dot to te frrotina and strip off th

leaves, leaving the cana to piles

ready to draw ta the mill. In recent years hand labor has been bard to get 111 Cuba. Since tHe betfnnlng of the World War cutters' wases have risen from S1.25 to S2.50 and 3 a day. Cntia has Dever had enough, resident, labor to bandle her snigar crops and Is obliged, to bring In thousands of men every year from Spfwn, the Azores, the Canary Islands, Yenettueli, Panama and otlwr Wert Indian Islands. Most of tbrn return home at the end of the Season. Iu some ways tbe work is still carried on !n primitive fashion. Heavy two wheeled carts drawn by four to eight oxen are still jreaerally lined to convey the cane to the mills. I'lowLn?, toa. Is done largely witli oen, although these are beini replaced gradually on tbe more modem estates by tractor3 with -gans plows and by motor trucks for drawing the cane. It can be seen, therefore, that labor plays an Important part in producing sugar in Cuba. In 1314 the cost of producing- a pound f raw sufrar under the mast favorable conditions was about 2 cents. But with the rapid rise of wages that followed the cost has risen greatly and fluctuates much tbar It Is bard to determine. As a result a srreat many mills not favorably located will be unable to continue running at a profit. These unfortunate miUs, however, were Irtrgely those erected in unfavorable districts to meet the o?prt denwntS

for sosar Draught aect fir th

World War. The proposed Increase in the American tariff threaten to

put many more of ' thes mills- out of comtoissrian.
