There are indications in plenty hern that the coffee crop which Is now being picked an.l Bhipped will be the largest exported export-ed from Haiti in all her history St Marc i the center of the coffee growing grow-ing COUntry( and already the roads and trails are pouring In a flood of the aromatic Ix-riles that find such j high favor in western Europe. Since the export tax on coffee produces a little more than one-third of the gov -i erhment'8 entire revenue, and the cof- i fi . exports av erage two-thirds of all j Haiti's export trade, the importance of this record-breaking crop can be appreciated. Ol TPUT C LIMBING. At the peak of the French regime In Haiti a crop of 74,000. Ouo pounds was exported tb Europe in 1791. Thirty Thir-ty years later It had dwindled to 29,-000,000 29,-000,000 pounds as a result of nesrlect and the Incessant civil wars following follow-ing Haiti's Independence In 1808. in-der in-der Haitian rule it finally climbed in 1880 to 78.000,000 pounds, but the production pro-duction was again at low ebb when the Culled States intervened in 1916. Three years later, when American' troops had restored order in the; island, isl-and, it reached a total of 80.000,000 n unds of S1H.j00.000 declared value, and that year the crop paid 40 per ceii' "i Haiti's entire revenue.
