Hill says: "As regards diversity of relief, Cuba's eastern end is mountainous, with summits standing high above the adjacent sea; its middle portion is wide, consisting of gently sloping plains, well-drained, high above the sea, and broken here and there by low, forest-clad hills; and its western third is a picturesque region of mountains, with fertile slopes and valleys, of different structure and less altitude than those of the east.
The predisposing causes are such factors as tend to render the body more susceptible to disease or favor the presence of the exciting cause.

The Cuthbert is so nearly hardy that we let it take its chances, and probably in eight winters out of ten it would stand unharmed. Its hardiness is greatly enhanced when grown on well-drained soils. It now has a companion berry in the Marlboro a variety but recently introduced, and therefore not thoroughly tested as yet.
A number of the streams of the semi-arid lands of the West do not discharge more than five per cent of the rainfall. Other things being equal, which will afford the larger proportion of run-off, a region underlain with granite rock or with coarse sandstone? grass land or forest? steep slopes or level land? a well-drained region or one abounding in marshes and ponds? frozen or unfrozen ground?
