SummaryResumen
The *Athens republique* reported on agricultural and social conditions in Haiti, noting that ninety-five percent of the population consisted of peasants who harvested coffee using primitive methods for export to Europe. The article cited the congressional inquiry's findings that rural Haitians were unfamiliar with modern tools such as plows and shovels, noting that laborers initially carried wheelbarrows on their heads during highway construction. It added that American occupation authorities were conducting agricultural education and building roads to promote economic development.
