Abstract
A COMPREHENSIVE survey of the soils of Cuba has been undertaken by H. H. Bennett and R. V. Allison, and the results published in book form. Cuba is still the greatest sugar-producing country of the world, and every effort is necessary to maintain this supremacy. The point of the survey was to investigate the possibility of lowering the cost of production of the raw material in the fields by the use of more modern agricultural methods and the better adaptation of the varieties to the soils on which they are grown.
The Soils of Cuba.
By H. H. Bennett R. V. Allison. Pp. 409. (Washington, D.C.: Tropical Plant Research Foundation, 1928.) 6.25 dollars.
