The Keynote To Prosperity
=
By ASHLEY L. TOTTEN.

A long drawn
out eontention
between
.
the Planters
and Laborers
on the islands
"
is
to the
effect
that
land
when
rented
'
and
cultivated
by the
latter
is
usually
taken
away from them
at harvest
time.
'
Certain
land owners
in
St.
Thomas
.
and
St.
Jan
argue
that
the
laboring
classes
are lazy and will not cultivate the
land
For
the
benefit
of both,
I advance
a
few
suggestions
which if taken
up
and
worked
upon
will positively bring about
a solution
of this matter.
In this great city of
New York, people
are
zoing dappy
over
tropical fruits and
vegetables.
A mango—ijust
a plain common
ordin-
ary mango
sold
in the island for
one
cent
an(‘, in many
instances
less
than
a cent,
wi
bring you
anywhere
in
the
colored
J°
rict of Harlem,
ten cents.
n
th® white
neighboarhood
and
most
pecially around
the railroad
depots you
an
get as
high as
fifteen
cents
for
a
mango.
Avocado
pears
sold
in the
islands
for
one
cent,
will bring
you
from
twenty
five
to fifty cents
apiece
anywhere
in
New York.
There
is a large demand
so
okras
ard
pigeon
peas.
Dried Ka-la-100,
growing
wild
would
sell
faster
than
it
»an
be shipped.
We have learned
from the Agricultural
dxpertat
St
Croix that the
soil of
the
‘hree
islands
is
most
adaptable
for the
cultivation of pine-apples.
The
Cha-Chas
at
St.
Thoma(n{raise
pine
apples
that are
sweeter
and
richer
than
those
at Hawaii.
Unfortunately
the
Board
of
Health
here
placed
a
ban
on the importation
of
yams,
potatoes
and
tanniers,
but
per
mission
for
the
entry
of
these
can
be
obtained
by means
of application
to the
Horticultural
Board
providing
these
specific
articles
are
from
any
of
the
United States
possessions.
:
Tropical
fruits
and
vegetables
come
here
in
large
quantities
from
Jamaica
and all the other British islands.
Dominica
a very
mountainous
island,
sends
a large quantity of limes.
All fresh
fr+i*- ~nq
vegetables
coming
here froni<~._.,u
ports
are
dutiable.
Those
coming from
the United
States
possessions
are
not.
Fruits
and vegetables
are shipped here
from
Porto
Rico, Cuba,
Haiti, Sto.
Do-
mingo, and they also find their way
here
from
far off Hawaii and
the
Phillippine
Islands.
But from the Virgin Islands
which are
even
nearer
to
the
mainland
than
the
others,
nothing
but
sugar
is
shipped
here,
and perhaps
a little Bay Rum.
And right in
the
Islands
today
there
are so little fruits and vegetables
in culti-
vation
that
the
ratives
are
dependent
on Tortola
for these
necessities.
This
is perfectly
ridiculous,
I
believe
we should
hide our
faces
with shame
at
such
conditions,
for
which
no
one
is
responsible
but ourselves.
.
Now since
the Pla.:ters
deny that the;’
are handicapping‘?
progress of ‘labor-
ers
who cultivate
t
land in fruits
and
vegetabies,
and since
the laborers
deny
that
they are
lazy,
then
let
us
take up
the suggestion.
