THE CUBA REVIEW 



the product, because of the superiority of 

 the meal, and the long season it can be 

 handled, for there is little or no deteriora- 

 tion of value by storage. Cotton seed, on 

 the contrary, heats readily, which injures or 

 ruins the quality." 



The vine of the peanut is also a valuable 

 by-product, making fine hay, and the crops 

 respond quickly to skillful culture. 



Partridges for Cuba 



The Cuban Department of Agriculture is 

 expecting to receive v/ithin a short time one 

 hundred pairs of red partridges which will 

 be turned loose in the Cuban woods. 



Irrigation Work Pushed 



Martinez Ortiz, secretary of agriculture, 

 commerce and lal-'or, has included in the 

 general appropriation of his department 

 the sum of $25,000 to be devoted to study- 

 ing the irrigation problem of Pinar del 

 Rio, and how best to supply an adequate 

 quantity of water during the season of 

 drought. A general assembly of mayors, 

 senators, congressmen and other public of- 

 ficials of the province will be held this 

 month to expedite the work and prevent 

 the proposition from becoming pigeon- 

 holed. Plans will be made at once, and, 

 if these are accepted, congress will be 

 asked to appropriate $.300,000 per annum 

 for the necessary irrigation work.
