The writer points out that in the seni-arid regions of Puerto Rico 
that have been irrigated the vegetable- growing industry promises to 
becone established permanently and to nake good use of the great pos-

imports into the United States of vegetables, including tomatoes, fron 
Cuba, Mexico and the Bahamas, and their total value. The tariff paid
