CUBAN CONDITIONS 



The wet weather whicli luis done so much 

 harm to the tobacco crop in Western Cuba is 

 causing some of the leading Cuban agricul- 

 turists to urge again the necessity for culti- 

 vating more diversified crops. The farmer is 

 being asked, in the Press and elsewhere, gradu- 

 ally to plant less tobacco, and to diversify his 

 crops by planting rice, tomatoes, potatoes, 

 beans, and other cereal or vegetable crops. 

 It is pointed out, however, that the Cuban 

 tol)acco-grower is much ham])ered Ijy agri- 

 cultural conditions. Not merely does he rent 

 his land, but he is often bound financially by 

 the storekeeper, to whom he owes money. The 

 latter will only give him credit on his tobacco 

 crops. For the storekeeper has things to sell 

 to the farmer, and the more independent the 

 farmer renders himself by the cultivation of 

 cereals, fruit, or vegetal^les, the less there will 

 be for the storekeeper to sell. But the Cul^an 

 climate favors a great extension of cultivation 

 of other products, and if mixed farming could 

 be encouraged, it would be of great benefit to 

 the agriculturist, although it might not prove 

 so jjresently j^rofitable to the money-lending 

 storekeejjer. — Outlook, London.
