Wood, the new chief of staff of tbo
United States army, thinks the term
ol enlistment of regulars should be cut
down and favors younger men for Un-
cle Sam’s fighting forces.
"You know I have recommended. In
formal reports, that the term of enlist-
ment should he cut down,” said he.
"This would serve to turn back into
civil life a larger proportion of meu
who in emergency could be called

This Is tho situation In the Isle of Pines, ns
well as In the western and central mainland of
Cuba. “The soils are nil poor In plant food com-
pared with the average sells In tho United Slates,
and the gravel ridges are especially so," states
Mr. II. C. Henrlckson, seer- tary of the Cuban
National Horticultural society, referring ivartlcu-
larly to the Isle of Pines, "but I have never seen
the i-ffect of good fertilizers s*» sharply outlined
as In these very soils, and from experience In
Florida nnd Porto Ulco I would predict an abun-
dant crop of fruit of superior quality wherever
the groves aro properly treated."
The vital question In those regions Is. then,
whether the owner Is nhle to afford proper treat-
ment. H» will, save In exceptional cases, where
the sqll Is too “American" for any use whatso-
ever, get his crop provided he has the- money to
supply enough fertilizer.
