HAITI EXPECTS A
BUMPER COFFEE CROP
St. Marc, HaitlT Oct. 23.—(By
Mail) There Are indications
plenty here that the coffee crop which
being picked and shipped will
be the largest exported from Haiti
in all her history. St Marc is the
center of the coffee growing country,
and already the roads and trails
pouring in a flood of the aromatic
berries that find such high favor In
Western Europe. Since the export
coffee produces a little mor<
than one-third of the government’!
entire revenue, and the coffee exports
average two-thirds of all Haiti’s ex-
>ort trade, the importance of this re-
:ord breaking crop can be appreciat
ed.
At the peak of the French regime
Haiti a crop of 74,000,000 pounds
is exported to Europe in 1791.
Thirty years later it had dwindled to
j, er 129,000,000 pounds as a result of
neglect and the incessant civil wars
following Haiti’s independence in
1803. Under Haitian rule in finally
climbed in 1880 to 78,000,000
pounds, but the production was again
at low ebb when the United States
intervened in 1915. Three years
later, when American troops had
restored order in the island, it reach
ed a total of 80,000,000 pounds, of
$16,500,000 declared value, and that;
year the crop paid 40 percent of
Haiti’s entire revenue. j
The present crop, however,
destined to exceed all previous
French, Haitian and American
pation figures, and the average price
to the peasant will be nine cents
pound.. Practically all of the coffee
goes to Havre for distribution
through France, Belgium, Holland,
Germany and Austria, where is used
in small lots as a grading coffeel.
It is worthy of note that practically
not a dollar of the millions that the
new crop will bring to Haiti will
into the pocket of a single American,
for the coffee industry in Haiti is
wholly in the hands of Haitians,
few French, and a small number of
en of mixed blood.
There is not a single cultivated
plantation in Haiti. The berries
grow semi-wild from the old French
days, requiring no irrigation and
reiving practically no care. Coffee
experts hold that through
indolence of the peasants fully
half of the average crop is not pick-
With attention to shading and
pruning, and with reasonable
diligence, the coming bumper crop
could certainly be quadrupled, they
The coming revision of the
l tariff that will materially
duce or eliminate the present export
of three cents per pound will
materially increase the profits of the
peasant, and with the extension of
the roads and trails made possible by
the Haitian loan, coffee prospects
are considered very good indeed.
While Haitian coffee has not as _
yet gained a foothold in the United
States, its distinctive aromn nnd
POSTAL OFFICIALS EXPECT
INCREASED CHRISTMAS
BUSINESS
Washington, Nov. 25.—Post Office
officials are expecting a heavy busi
ness at the Christmas period this year
possibly heavier than ever before.
Mail was flowing heavily as eurly

when the rush starts so early it Is
taken as a sign of a big rush of holi
day mail.
The Department began in October
the usual preparations for the holi
day increase and by December l the
re service will be ready. Officials
that ‘‘mail early” campaigns

ed early start of Christmas business.
i estimated that the increase in
postal receipts during December

11.000.000. is spent for extra spa*
trains to transport the mails, the
motor vehicles service spends approxi
mately <500,000 above its regular
lervice. and another <1,000,000 goes
for additional clerk hire in the
various postoffices to sort mail.
Another item is <350,000 for
additional carriers. Added to these
items are the millions of money or

miles of twine to rebundle poorly tied

feet of emergency warehouse space.

“Deliver all Christmas mail by noon
