THE CUBA REVIEW 



Fruto V semillas del arbol de la algarroba. Las vainas son un alimento mxiy importante entre 



los cerealcs, y muy apetecido por toda close de animales, incluycndo las gallinas. Rinde dos 



cosechas al afio, y sus flares sutninistran un producto de mid pura de consideracion. 



Fruit and seeds of the algarroba. 



in order to prevent the great loss which 

 would occur if they were all left upon the 

 ground. Wherever the belts of algarroba 

 timber arc large, it has been found possible 

 to maintain stock for a month or two of 

 each season without any other forage than 

 algarroba beans. Some of these belts, how- 

 ever, have been allowed to grow up much 

 too dense. Under such conditions the in- 



dividual trees remain too small, and the 

 yield of the beans is less than would be the 

 case if the trees were thinned out, so as 

 to give a chance for each tree to spread 

 to its full limit. The thinning process 

 would nearly, if not quite, pay for itself 

 in most localities in the fuel which would 

 thereby be obtained. — Bulletin Hawaii

Short Pineapple Supply 



Canned pineapple, especially of the lower 

 grades, is getting very closely cleaned up, 

 and there will be a very material shortage 

 before another packing season, writes Chas. 

 T. Howe & Co. of New York. Whereas 

 the shortage of Hawaiian pineapples is not 

 important, the supply from the other 

 sources has been very light. The cannery 

 in Florida was not opened this season, 

 and both canneries in Cuba remained closed 

 during 1910. Very little was packed in 



Baham?, and a smaller quantity than usual 

 was packed in Porto Rico. The Baltimore 

 pack this year was only about 5,000 cases, 

 compared with 150,000 cases in previous 

 years. 



To show the great falling off in ship- 

 ments of Singapore pineapple, we note that 

 the shipments to the United States from 

 Singapore in 1907 were 272,000 cases, in 

 1908 173,200 cases, and for 1910 the estimate 

 is only 25,000 cases. — California Fruit
