Fruit and seeds of the algarroba. in order to prevent the great loss which would occur if they were all left upon the ground. Wherever the belts of algarroba timber arc large, it has been found possible to maintain stock for a month or two of each season without any other forage than algarroba beans. Some of these belts, how- ever, have been allowed to grow up much too dense. Under such conditions the in- dividual trees remain too small, and the yield of the beans is less than would be the case if the trees were thinned out, so as to give a chance for each tree to spread to its full limit. The thinning process would nearly, if not quite, pay for itself in most localities in the fuel which would thereby be obtained.—Bulletin Hawaii Agricultural Expcriiiicitt Station, No. 26. Short Pineapple Supply Canned pineapple, especially of the lower grades, is getting very closely cleaned up, and there will be a very material shortage before another packing season, writes Chas. T. Howe & Co. of New York. Whereas the shortage of Hawaiian pineapples is not important, the supply from the other sources has been very light. The cannery in Florida was not opened this season, and both canneries in Cuba remained closed during 1910. Very little was packed in Baham?, and a smaller quantity than usual was packed in Porto Rico. The Baltimore pack this year was only about 5,000 cases, compared with 150,000 cases in previous years. To show the great falling off in ship- ments of Singapore pineapple, we note that the shipments to the United States from Singapore in 1907 were 272,000 cases, in 1908 173,200 cases, and for 1910 the estimate is only 25,000 cases.—California Fruit
