THE  TROPICAL  AGRICULTURIST. 
[Nov.  2,  1896. 
For  the  years  following  the  fifth  the  annual 
figures  would  be  as  follows  •— 
S. 
Cleaning  (weeding)  land 
. . 400-00 
Harvesting,  Ac.,  -100  quintals  at 
80c.  320  00 
Tools,  &c. 
. . 25-00 
Hoad  repairing 
50-00 
Maintenance 
. . 420-00 
1215-00 
Interest  at  18  per  cent. 
. . 218-70 
1433-70 
Product  of  20,000  plants  at  2 lb.  : 
=.  S 
400  quintals  at  26s.  . . 
. . 10,400.00 
Total  expense  for  one  year 
. . 1,433,70 
Profit 
. . 8,966.00 
It  will  now  be  seen  that  by  employing  the 
mejorero’s  services  there  is  a large  saving,  for  they 
will  have  to  pay  the  latter  3,000s.  for  20,000  plants 
in  their  third  year,  and  will  not  have  all  the  ex- 
pense stated  in  the  above  estimate. 
Contracting  the  land  out  of  his  possession  after  six 
years  would  mean  that  the  mejorero  obtains  a large 
profit,  for  the  expenses  would  be  10,711.16s.,  while 
the  receipts  for  coffee  would  reach  28,600.00,  show- 
ing a clear  profit  of  17,888.84  soles. 
The  sale  of  the  coffee  at  a La  Merced  is  practically 
compulsery,  because  there  the  people  have  facilities 
of  sending  it  on  mule-back  to  Tarma,  or  to  Arroya, 
where  it  is  transferred  to  the  train  for  shipment  to 
Callao.  To  endeavour  to  send  the  coffee  direct  to 
the  shipping  port  would  under  the  present  circum- 
stances be  simple  madness,  as  the  competition  of 
the  carriers  would  soon  ruin  any  one  who  made  the 
attempt,  unless  he  was  backed  by  plenty  of  capital. 
It  is  sad  to  see  a territory  so  rich  utterly  neglected 
by  a Government  that  is  striving  to  keep  its  head 
above  the  sea  of  financial  difficulties  in  which  Peru 
has  been  drifting.  Nothing  has  been  done  to  im- 
prove the  means  of  communication  with  the  outer 
world,  and  therefore  there  are  no  inducements  offered 
to  people  to  go  and  take  advantage  of  the  resources 
that  lie  within  a comparatively  short  distance  of 
the  coast  line.  The  district  is  developing,  it  is  true, 
but  it  is  doing  so  against  all  the  drawbacks  that 
could  possibly  be  encountered:  an  indiffeient  Gov- 
ernment playing  into  the  hands  of  those  who  place 
obstacles  in  the  way  of  advancement,  in  order  to 
reap  all  the  benefits  of  the  labour  of  others.
