Agricullural Cuba 



Sugar cane is a crop to count upon and it is 

 one that does not require the care and delicate 

 attention necessary for the production of tobacco 

 and other sensitive crops. To those of limited 

 circumstances, cane offers great opportunities 

 since the mills make liberal allowances in ad- 

 vances to the growers, furnishing them with 

 oxen, implements and provisions necessary to 

 carry them through the (crop) season. The 

 production of cane does not require a great 

 amount of skill. The plowing for Spring planting 

 is done in January, February and March, and 

 planting in April and May. Fall planting is 

 done in August and as late as September, 

 sometimes.
