. The Cuba review. 24 THE CUBA REVIEW.. "MACHO" BANANA. ANOTHER VIEW OF "THREE YEARS IN CUBA." Editor Cuba Review : In the July Review you print an article from the Everett (Mass.) Herald, entitled "After Three Years in Cuba, " which seems to me very misleading". The writer states that his average working hours have been from 5 a. m. to 10 and 12 at night. He does not say what kind of work. I work from 6 a. m. until 5 p. m., with noon rest from 11.30 a. m. till 1 p. m. I am engaged in fruit growing. The na- tive day laborers around here only work from 9 to 10 hours per day. He says "there are no stoves." There are six or eight American families within three miles of Ceiba Mocha, and all have Ameri- can stoves—some brought thein with them and others bought them in Havana. He says "Rent for an ordinary house is $50 a month, " he don't say in what part of Cuba, perhaps he is speaking of Havana. A very comfortable house can be rented here at from $10 to $20 a month. Some of your readers would probably like to know what we have to eat here, and the cost. We get fresh beef—^best cuts—at 20c. lb:, fresh pork 15c. to 20c. Breakfast bacon 30c. lb. Roast and corned beef, one lb. tins, 20c. Red snapper and other saltwater fish, l5c. lb. American hams 25c. to 30c. lb. Venison (in season) 25c. lb. Best flour 5c. lb. Irish potatoes 4c. to 5c. lb. These prices are at Ceiba Mocha and Matanzas. Anyone here can have plenty of sweet potatoes the year round by planting every few months. Irish potatoes do very well planted in October and November. We have roasting ears several months by planting corn from time to time. We have raised two crops of cabbage within last ten months. We have okra, tomatoes, egg plant and sweet peppers almost continuously. Two crops of cowpeas a year can be grown. All kinds of beans do well. Last winter we had as fine English peas as I have ever eaten. Lettuce, turnips, radishes and beets, all do well
