A favorable seasonal growth in one section is ofteD offset by an unfavorable season in another dealing with the same varieties of palay. Gen eral averages are governed by many factors in attempting to apply general averages in any one ycar-crop, in guaging the net recovery. The variable factors apply in all countries as well as the Islands. In Siam the net recovery is placed as high as 70%, in Saigon, or rather Cholon stocks as 68%, and in the Islands it rarely averages 66% for the best grades falling as low as 52% on poor grades and poor seasons. There is a vast field of unacquired knowledge to be obtained in our foremost domestic industry, which the so-called scientists have simply ignor ed, probably thru sheer inability to realize any thing other than the alphabetical suffix and the monthly payroll. There is no data as to the thickness and thinless of the hull, or the effect of mineral fertilizers on the texture and content of the grain, or the vitamin increase that would seem to follow such application. Nor is any thing thought of but the 100 to 1 shot of pro duction by exotic varieties that rarely thrive under ordinary field conditions which exist here. The silly nomenclature of “rice-breeding” stations, or so-called experimental farms, whose product rarely comes up to that produced on adjoining lands cultivated by “ignorant” farm ers, are just painted mechanisms more or less, serving no useful purpose except for those on the pay-roll. The only remedy for this is to either produce results—or get out—an aphorism we opine that cannot be applied to present usages.

Yen 1,750,000 were added to reserve and a 10%dividend absorbing P5,000,000 declared, carrying Yen 10.708,920 forward to the credit of the next account. The report reflects the continuing prosperity of Japan’s marine commerce with which the Specie bankis so intimately associated. That home and garden which you always dreamed of— SAN JUAN HEIGHTS is the best place for it. New Steam Laundry Monserrat Enteq>rises Co. Ltd. are the company who at long last dare establishing a steam laundry in competition with the excellent ly managed one Manila already had, the Sanitary Steam Laundry. Monserrat’s is on the same street, too calle Arlegui. It is described as modern in every respect, the name, Silver Cross Steam Laundry. Monserrat’s main interest has been its Yellow Cab service, which expanded with purchase of the N. & B. Garage and Molina Truck into«a more general service. There’s a deal of service required from a laundry nble to hold the trade. With Manila households it’s always a toss-up whether to “send it out” or consign it to the mercy of the household lavandera. The latter usually wins, often at the household’s cost. No doubt the field for the laundry business expands because of the growing apartment-house and hotel trude. REAL ESTATE By P. D.
