. The Cuba review. Cuba -- Periodicals. T II E C U B A R B ' I i: W I!). "Fordson" tractor hauling Oliver two-disc plow at Campo Florido, Cuba. (Courtesy of Mr. Martial Facio, Havana.) The operation of seed bed preparation, the plowing, harrowing, cultivating, drag- ging, and furrow opening, should be done by the companies. It is scientific work that should not be left to the judgment of the colonos. The cost should be charged to them and they will be found willing to accept it once they see the greater profit to themselves. This work is mechanical, hence it involves no question of human labor. As under the old system, the cultivation and harvest work falls to the colono; in fact ho is not disturbed in any way in Ins normal processes of life. A field department should he organized by the larger companies whose duties Should he confined to the yearly soil preparation for new planting. That work would continue throughout the year. Included in its equipment should he a road grader and a small rock crusher mounted on a heavy wagon for road repair at dangerous places, railway embankment construction, drainage, and similar work. The man in charge of this work would become one of the most valuable members of the organi- zation. Careful choice of tractors and tools is most important. An extensive experience in tractor farming leads me to choose the caterpillar type of tractor for Cuba. It should be large, preferably of about 75 horse power, and a complete set of farming implements suitable for use with it should be included in the outfit. It is a mistake to believe that the small fields require the small tractors for best farming results. Of course, the man farming but a small area is not justified in choosing the larger outfit, but with the Cuban sugar companies it would be better, where practicable, to adjust the fields to the tractor rather than fit the tractor to the fields. I saw many roads poorly located and fence lines that should lie gradually changed for
