palms crow best within a mile of
the shore; the; must be within the
range of ocean breezes- which give
them their fresh. exhilarating tang.
The palms are planted about 35
feet apart. They make a beautiful
picture. contrasting with the won-
derful blue of the sky and even
deeper blue of the sea. Usually the
palms are slightly bent by the trade
winds which blow for months at a
time in one direction and give the
trees their familiar slant.
Occasionally a cocoanut tree will
be over a hundred feet high. but
such palms do not produce the best
nuts. The best bearing trees are
usually 40 to 50 feet high. The
trunk rises without any branches
until the top is reached and it is a
real (cat to climb the trees and cut
the nuts.
This is done by Indian boys who
climb the trunks by means of a
“Home.” which consists of a creeper
wound with rope to protect it. The
"liane" is passed about the tree

housewife will do well to ask the
following questions: llas it the full.
rich cocoauut flavor? Is the cocoa-
nut in long shreds or does it consist
chiefly of tiny bits of cocoanut
(called in the trade 'macnroon")?
In the latter case, it is not of the
best quality. Finally. the housewife
should ask whether the Coconmit is
moist and'l’foah—keeping. without at
the same time containing an excess
amount of water.
Sea Br'eezea Give Nuts Their Tang

from certain islands and coasts of
the sunny Caribbean Sea. and the

Each boy has a certain number
of trees to take care of and his
route is usually laid out so that he
visits each tree about once a mouth.
The cocoanut palm is peculiar in
that buds. tiny nuts, medium-sized
nuts and riro nuts grow upon it at
the same time—it is almost as

were in blossom while big red ap-
ples hung upon another branch. it
takes about 16 months for a cocoa-
nut to ripen. so that the planter
can tell over a year ahead how big
his crop is going to be.
The cocounut grows in a thick.
fibrous pod or husk. which we never
see in this country. for it is removed
before shipping. The pod protects
the nuts from insects. etc.

After the nuts are picked-they are
lowered or dropped to the ground
and oxcarts which pass in and out
among the trees pile them along the
narrow gauge track «hat runs

are paid according to the number
of cocoanuts they harvest. but if a

The public is Just beginning to
appreciate what a really fine food
cocoanut is. Scientists and dome.- .

this for some time. Pound for

milk or eggs or potatoes.
More Nutritious Even Than Egga
or Milk
Scientists have calculated that
one pound of cocoanut contains as
much food value as 2 pounds of
eggs (about twenty eggs). 4 pounds
of fish or milk. 434; pounds of pota-
toes. 5 pounds of bananas. or (I

and natives are very fond of cocoa-
and do all their cooking in
it. The water inside the unripe nut
is used for drinking purposes. The
heavy fibres of the outer pods are
woven into ropes and mats. and the
of the palm are used to
thatch huts, while the trunk of the
tree supplies natives with one of
their most serviceable woods.
