The Wasted Philippines
During the twenty-two years of
American occupation, the import trade
of the islands has grown from 1’3S,
3S5.972 to P298,876,565, and the ex
port trade, from P29,693^164 to
P302,247,711. That is, the total
trade of the Philippine Islands has
increased under the present regime
from Ij68,079,13(j to P601.124.276.
But that growth does not imply
that the resources of the Islands
have been fully turned to account.
There remain vast undeveloped areas
such as the Island of Mindanao in
the south, comprising 37,000 square
miles of rich and almost virgin ter
ritory more than equal In extent to
the state of Indiana. Of the total
area of the Philippine Islands SO per
cent, is public domain under the con
trol of the Bureau of Forestry and the
Bureau of Lands. At present only
about 12 per cent, is under cultiva-J
tion. Of the remainder, r>S per cent,
consists of forest and 30 per cent, of
grass-lands locally called cogonale*.
Of the 80 per cent, held by the gov
ernment, fully 55 per cent, is ex
cellent for agricultural purposes. It
must be remembered that the grow
ing season in the Philippines is 365
days, and that, with fertile soil, suf
ficient water and that prime necessi
ty, heat, twTo or throe crops a year
can be raised to one in the United
Stateg. Father Algue. director of the
Weather Bureau of the Philippine
Islands and one of the gniatest living
iuthprities on climatologj, states that
no other country in the tropics is so
favorably situated with respect to
climate and rainfall as the Philippine
Islands. The Islands are fortunate
enough to possess three distinct
classes of climate and one intermedi
ate class, all within a small range of
atmospheric pressure. These climat
ic* conditions, coupled with the fertili
ty of the soil and the ease with a liich
water can be supplied by irrigation
in the regions of distinct dry seasons,
will make the Philippines, if properly
developed, the greatest production
area in the world. Why do wo not
develop the 80 per cent, of rich idle
land in the archipelago instead of re
lying on other countries for our sup
plies?—From “Where Shall We Go
for Tropical Products?” by Arthur F.
Fisher, in Asia Magazine for May.

More Closet Space
Stop and figure a minute. Would
n’t it he convenient to have your
closet space doubled?
You can have double the present
closet space at small expense by run
ning an extra clotlies-rod lengthwise
of the closet. Instead of hanging
this at the usual six feet from the
floor, hang it within six inches of the
ceiling. The hangers are lifted down
with a long-handled window-hook.
Any type of hanger can be lifted
down this way.
In a closet with ceilings of the or
dinary height the bottoms of coats or
skirts come to about five-and-a-half
feet from the floor. This leaves
nearly the amount that Is ordinarily
used to put in another bar if de
sired, making two closets in on''. Or
a set of shelves or drawers can be
placed in the lower space. With
high ceilings it is possible to hang
up a long overcoat or a full-length
dress and still have ample room to
walk in without bonding the head.

If you ever remodel an old house, do
not lower the ceiling in the closets.
The. space up there is too valuable
to shut up.—From the May Delinea

riour Vittles
A man came to a stomach specialist
in despair over his digestive troubles.
Eveify remedy had failed. The doctor
asked him what he ate. “Doctor,” the
patient replied "it can't possibly he my
diet that upsets me. for about a'.l I've
ct for years is flour vittles.”
This man had ruined his stomach,
not by eating indigestible foods, but
by a one-sided diet.
Ills cure was comparatively simple:
He was given, besides' “flour vitjlrs,’’
plenty of salads, green vegetables,
fruit, ntilk and eggs.
In planning your family's meals re
member that their digestions and their
general health demand plenty of
green foods, fruits, and dairy feed.—
From the May Delineator.
