Agricultural News V05 1906 PDF Download

Excerpt from Agricultural News, Vol. 5: A Fortnightly Review of the Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies; January to December 1906 Cotton prospects continue bright, and I expect to have seed-cotton equal to upwards of 90 bales of lint stored at the factory by the end of next week. A good sign is the adjusting of the picking business. Last season considerable difficulty was experienced in getting labour to pick the cotton, but this season the difficulty has almost disappeared. One planter, who had trouble from this cause last season, tells me that people are leaving other work to pick cotton this season, and had he known this earlier he would have put in a much larger acreage. The three or four small growers who planted this year are getting excellent returns and will do well. This fact is also encouraging.
