COCOanuts.

The extensive planting of cocOanuts on
the keys and coasts of the Florida PENN
sula might induce some people to suppose
that the planters are overestimating the
capacity of the numerous small boy for
creating demand adequate to the nut
supply. The planters, however, are cal
culalun1 on n sure market for the product

lowing from the report Of Theodore Cant
sius, Consul at Apia, in Samoan Islands
The planting of cocoanut palms has always
been the principal industry in the South Sea
Islands, and is likely TO continue so Ms long us
suitable ground can be found upon those isl
ands.
The cultivation of this palm has occupied the
chief attention OF the German company since
Then first establishment in Samoa and there are
now several magnificent cocoanut groves be-
longing TO them on Upolu Islands. AS the
c"coanut palm is essentially httoral, and reaches
It's greatest perfection in an atmosphere damp
with The salt spray and moisture of the ocean
the groves of the German company, which are
mostly some distance inland and upon more Gle
waited land than is suitable for this palm, will not
produce copIa in such quantities as would be the
case ii they were situated upon the sandy soil Of
the beach
In c0coanut planting a triple benefit is de-
rived from the soil The young palms are, as
before stated, sci out among the cotton bushes,
at distances varying from 20 to 80 feet aparr, ac-
cOrdng to the nature of the soil and the distance
from The beach In the course of four years The
palms reach such size that ii is no longer posi-
BILE To plant cotton b tween their rows They
are then lc for period OF two or three years
during which time the ground beneath them be-
comes covered with thick cnaling of grass
The only work to he done is the occasional
wedding, without which the weeds would very
soon kill Il grass OFT
When the palms have reached sufficient
height to place their branches out OF tie reach of
cattle, the grasses under them are utilized for the
rearing ot numbers of very fine cattle.
The cocoanut palms come into bearing in six
years, and in favorable situations close TO the
sea shore much earlier, and each palm is SUP.

The nuts, when ripe, fall from the trees and are
gathered up III carts. the meats Cut out and dried
packed in bags, and shipped to Europe, where
the price sometimes reaches 800 per ton and
somcstimcs falls To $75
The amount OF copra produced in Samoa may
be set down at five To six thousand tons an
nually, while the amount exported throllylEI
Apia from The outlying islands (Which does not
include Tongu) may be stated al 1900 tons more
BY far the greater portion OF this is shipped from
Apla To Euif-pe, although small quantities are
sent 10 San Francisco by American firms and to
Auckland OF Sydney by British houses.
