THE CUBA REVIEW 21 VIEWS ON THE TOBACCO HARVEST BIG CUBAN TOBACCO CROP The present season's crop of Cul:ian to- bacco will exceed the largest crop pre- viously recorded by close to 75, 000 bales, according to J. L. Kendrick, editor of The Tobacco World, who recently returned from an extended visit to the Cuban mar- kets. "For the first time in a number of years weather conditions have been uniformly of such a character as to promote the growth of a bumper number of plants, " said Mr. Kendrick on March 15th to a Nezv York Times reporter.

It has been pretty generally understood for some weeks past that the 1912 crop as a whole will be one of the largest, if not the largest, ev
