SummaryResumen

The newspaper reported that the island possesses an unsurpassed climate, vast uncultivated land, a welcoming government, and a favorable geographical-commercial position. Citing writers and James Redpath's "Guide to Hayti," the article highlighted the region's agricultural productiveness—particularly for coffee, sugar, and cotton, noting that tree cotton grows with extraordinary facility and yields two crops annually.

El diario reportó que la isla goza de un clima inmejorable, extensas tierras sin cultivar, un gobierno acogedor y una ventajosa posición geográfica y comercial. Citando a diversos autores y la «Guía de Haití» de James Redpath (*Guide to Hayti*), el artículo encomió la fertilidad agrícola de la región —en especial para el café, el azúcar y el algodón—, destacando que el algodón arbóreo crece con extraordinaria facilidad y rinde dos cosechas al año.

ton belt, has a climate unsurpassed for

its culture, and untold acres waiting the

hands of industry, a Government eager

to promote enterprise, and a geograph

ical-commercial position which renders

it more easily accessible than the Cen

tral American to the inercantil navy of

this or any other country.

All the evidence proves conclusively

that this island is admirably adapted to

the raising of this staple. The writers

upon this country speak enthusiastically

of its productiveness, and of the prolific

yield of all tropical cereals, cotton,

coffee, sugar, tobacco, rice, etc. It was

formerly the greatest coffee producing

region. Through the stagnation caused

by its revolution, it lost the supremacy

which Urazil now holds. Hayti still

stands third on the list of coffee-raising

nations. In the cultivation of sugar it

is capable of great results, but it is in

the raising ot cotton that the largest

benefit can be secured..

All that Mr. Squires says relative to

Central America, applies with equa

force to Hayti. Every variety of the

cotton-plant can be cultivated with the

greatest success, -a.ccoro.ing to James

Kedpath, in his "Guide to Hayti:"

"Cotton grows with extraordinary fa

cility. It is of a fine and silky quality

It does not grow on bushes, but trees.

which produce two crops annually,' and

last several years. Its culture might be

made exceedingly profitable."

This is what is known as the tree cot

ton; with the introduction of the sea

island Variety, and other plants of both

long and short-stapled kind, improved
