PHILIPPINE AGRICULTURE.
Ar. Too Laay to D.vlop tk.
Productive Poasibilities
of the SolL
Writes William E. CurtU. In the Chi
cago Record-Herald: The Filipino do
not raise sufficient vegetable! to supply
their own wants although the aoil pro
duces an abundance whenever It baa a
chance. The fiber of Filipino garden
truck is rather coarse and the flayer is
not so good as that grown in temperate
regions but that Is tha rule au tnrougn
the tropics. At least one-third of the
vegetables offered for sale In the Ma-
nila markets Is Imported from China be-
ing brought over in Junks.
The native is too lazy to worK a gar
den. You will notice as you drive
around In the suburbs of the city that
very few of the cabins have gardens at-
tached to them and when you find one
it is badly cared for. The Filipino loos
ens up the ground throws in a few
seeds rakes the soil over them and let?
nature do the rest. He devotes his en-
tire attention to breeding fighting
cocks and lives on bananas. Last year
through the efforts of the bureau of ag-
riculture there was a decrease In the im-
portation of vegetables especially po
tatoes onions beans and peas from
China from $718432 In 1902 to $513637 in
1903. The bureau of agriculture is do
ing good work in Introducing seeds suit
able to the soil but unfortunately It has
not been able up to tills time to produce
a serum that will cure indolence and the
indifference of the Filipino to his own
Interests is exasperating to those who
are trying to help him.
Nearly $300000 worth of esgs were
imported from China last year and a
corresponding amount of other simple
food that might be raised by every vil-
lager. And what Is even mere diacourasfrg.
the amount of food imported into the is
lands increases every year. In 1899 the
otal was only $3.993.1(i9; in 1900. $5.4 SV
106: in 1901. $8158794: in 1902 $10846-
142. and In 1903 $14675522.
During the last year it should be ex
plained an unusual quantity of rice was
imported by the government in order to
supply a deficit caused by the drought
but there was an increase in a dozen
other items which" should be furnished
ntirely by the local farmers if they had
inv industry or enterprise. But they
will not work in the soil. They cannot be
induced to raise enough rice to feed
themselves although the area suitable
to that staple is unlimited. In . 1901
$5490952 worth of rice was imported:
in 1902 $6578481; In 1903 $10061.323.
nd in addition to that more than
$4000000 worth of other vegetables
and articles of food; while the Imports
of beef pork and other animal prod
ucts have Increased from $188026 In
1899 to $1580156 in 1903.
This vou w ill recognize is a most un
healthy condition to find in an agricul-
tural country where millions upon mil-
lions of acres of fertile ground have
iever been turned by a plow. The agrl-
ultural department Is doing its best by
introducing modern methods labor-sav-ine
machinery seeds and otherwise en
couraging farming and truck gardening.
but it makes very little headway. There
re several experimental farms and
Prof. Worcester has imported machin
ery and Implements suitable .to this
country. He Invites native farmers to
come down and examine the American
methods there displayed and some of
th'Ti show moderate amount of inter-
est but very few have departed from
the ancient modes of cultivation and
arvest and. as for the ordinary peas
ant farmer he clings stubbornly to the
crooked stick that answers for a plow
and the long knife which is almost his
only other implement.
The soil and climate of the Philippines
are especially adaptsd to the cultivation
of coffee. It has be-n grown here for
more than a century but It is impossi-
ble to interest the natives in the indus-
try although they can look across to the
ne ighboring island of Java and see hun
dreds of men who have made large for-
tunes in coffee orchards that are the
best in the world. Coffee can be raised
in any of these islands where the bills
rise to an elevation of 2.000 feet and the
latitude and atmosphere required Is the
most healthful and delightful in the
irchipelago or anywhere in the east. A
white man can perform heavy field labor
without any more fatigue than in Iowa
jr '.Y'W York. The profits on coffee are
iar ger than upon most of the staple it
requires comparatively little capital and
he crop is almost certain. Yet the peo-
ple of the Philippine Islands import half
of their supply from Java and the othfr
Cast Indian islands.
The same remarks apply to the culti-
vation of canao which will grow in the
lowlands with vigor and luxuriance and
pays a big profit but If this Industry anl
others are ever developed it will be done
by Americans or Chinese.
These are only a few of ""sr. imnt.
Ing opportunities In the way of agricul-
ture over here which are almost en-
tirely overlooked by the natives. And
these conditions are a standing aoBwer
to the arguments used against the ad-
lilsslon of Chinese labor.
Counting a Hen's Feathers.
A very unique feather guessing con-
lefct was recently conducted by a prom
inent company manufacturing feed for
poultry. Five hundred dollars in
prizes was offered for best estimates or
guesses as to the number of feathers ou
a hen. The first prize was $100. Thou-
sands of guesses were received Includ- i
Ing some very amusing ones. One party.
who was probably looking for some
"catch" scheme estimated "none at all.'
Many estimates in the hundreds of
thousands were received several in the
millions the highest estimate being .
C00.060.017. The correct"nunaber was
found to be 8120. The company says:
"We feel a pardonable pride In having
contributed to poultry science an item
of Information actually new." St.
Nicholas.
Men's fashion Hates.
"The man who can afford two or
three suits a year" said a tailor who
prldea himself on his fashionable trade
"never asks us for a fashion plate. In
the best establishments they are not
bung on the walla as they were a few
years ago. Most customers select their
cloth from samples made up in little
bunches tell me to make up their
clothes according to the latest style.
and let it go at that. If I have their
measurements in my books it is seldom
necessary to see them until they come
to have the suit fitted. They telephone
me to send a boy with some samples and
the thing is done. The telephone has
changed methods' in our business as
well aa In others. As fashions become
more elastic men who dress well depart
from iron-clad rules and leave the se-
lection of their clothes entirely to their
tailor." N. Y. Times.
