Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1935 Few of world's densely populated countries depend solely upon agriculture. It is a common impression that Puerto Rico is the most densely populated country in the Western Hemisphere. The foregoing tabu lation however, shows that Barbados has more than twice as many people per square mile as Puerto Rico. In the continental United States both Rhode Island and Massachusetts have considerably larger populations per square mile, and smaller areas of arable land per person than this island. In Europe, both the Netherlands and Belgium have more people per square mile than Puerto Rico and less area of arable land per person.

Results from Mayaguez 3 and 42 on the Margarita farm In the San German Valley continued to be unfavorable. Both gave about the same sugar production as P. O. J. 287 8 in the Anasco Valley (fig. 2, A and B), but are not as adaptable as the latter to adverse soil conditions nor as cheap to cultivate and are not being extended. Mayaguez 7 equaled the production Of P. O. J. 2725 in first ratoons at the Quinones farm. However. Both P. O. J. 2878 and P. O. J. 2725 are regarded with greater favor on account Of their prolific stooling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1933 The loss per cane due to drying out of arrowed cane tops is esti -mated to be approximately four times as great for either of these J avan varieties as for Mayaguez 28 in fields where the latter blos soms. The advantage of Mayaguez 28 over p.o.j. 2725 is often greater than this, however, since arrowing is often practically nil for Mayaguez 28 in localities where p.o.j. 2725 blossoms profusely. Due to its comparative freedom from pith or hollow centers, Mayaguez 28 canes have a high specific gravity. At Coloso and Mayaguez they proved nearly one tenth heavier than water, whereas those of p.o.j. 2725 barely equaled water in weight. The combina tion of high sucrose content and high specific gravity results in low transportation costs per ton of sugar for Mayaguez 28. This item of expense is important where canes must be hauled 10. To 15 miles. Adaptability on I sabela red clay - Trial plantings made in 1931 demonstrated the adaptability of Mayaguez 28 to the friable red clay soil of Isabela. This soil is so loose that irrigation water soon after application drains away rapidly from below. On such soil a variety having a. Strong root system, drought-resistant foliage, and ability to cover the ground rapidly is required. Mayaguez 28 met all these requirements. At Isabela its foliage proved to be very drought resistant, its root system developed rapidly and functioned well even when deprived of irrigation water, and many and broad leaves covered the ground even more rapidly than did those of p.o.j. 287 8. As a result of the favorable growth made by the trial plantings and the satisfactory sugar production in the Coloso variety trial the Isabela cane growers rapidly extended the planting of Mayaguez 28. It now occupies 600 acres and is one of the principal varieties in the Isabela district. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1938 From 1910 to 1920 large farms decreased in number but increased in acreage. In addition to showing that the total area in farms has steadily decreased ln the past 25 years, table 1 shows a decrease of almost 10 percent. In the number of farms. It 1s interesting to observe m the 10-year period from 1910 to 1920, that although there was a decrease in the number of farms of 500 cuerdas or more nevertheless the total area of such farms increased from to cuerdas. The average size of farms in this classification of 500 cuerdas or more increased from cuerdas in 1910 to cuerdas in 1920.

This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1942 In plant-introduction work, lists of ornamental plants can always be extended more easily than those of plants Of economic value. The former almost always come along with the more desirable economic species whether ornamentals are desired or not. However, in Puerto Rico the extension Of ornamental plantings throughout the island has been an important part of the tourist program undertaken in recent years. Another, and perhaps more direct commercial value, lies in supplying such species to Puerto Rican nurserymen for intensive propagation for the florist trade on the mainland. Frequent requests for such plants are received, and in this way the 12-month growing temperature Of the island is turned into an appreciable asset. The Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction of the Bureau Of Plant Industry sent to the station an interesting lot Of sample fruit plants consisting Of 10 species and varieties Of the raspberry and blackberry genus, Rubus. Additional planting material Of a fruit tree, the Philippine mabola persimmon (diospyros discolorl Willd.) was received from the same agency. While this species has been rep resented in the plant-introduction gardens for many years by a well formed vigorous tree, it has been impossible to propagate it rapidly, for it is the uncommon form with fruits almost always seedless.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1943 There are few pests of planted, growing, and stored food crops that are more destructive in their habits or harder to control than rats. The station frequently has experienced considerable interference with the seed-production pro-gram from this source. Areas near favorable cover, such as fence rows, ditch banks, or headlands and terrace banks covered with dense grass, have produced spotty stands because rats have dug up the seed and later, in the Case of corn, eaten into the ears that developed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1919 During the twenty years of the American occupation in Porto Rico agricultural production has increased tremendously, due principally to the development of large areas as single units. There seems to have been little or no departure from this tendency, despite the fact that efforts along educational lines and through legal enactments have been made to curtail large land holdings. Instead of cutting down large holdings, they have actually been increased through pur chase or under long leases.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1936 Most mango varieties possess high vegetative vigor. Although the trees present a great bulk to hurricane winds of high velocity, experience in the East Indies has shown that even when blown over they seldom die. Logical regional planning would seem to indicate that mangoes could more safely be grown in some of our steep-sided valleys where they may attain some degree of protection from hurricane winds. Producers' cooperatives seem important for such new crops. The profitable production of truck crops for winter marketing is dependent upon the most competent technical knowledge for field management as well as alert representation in the continental markets. The production of other crops has shown the necessity of increased technical knowledge. The small producers of Puerto Rico individually have not been in a position to have market representation or obtain through experience the technical knowledge necessary for successful truck-crop or other specialized production. In this situation it would seem essential to form cooperative associations in which technical men would be employed to guide production methods, packing, and ship ping, as well as provide expert market representation. Regional specialization aids dissemination of technical information and formation of cooperatives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
