"A full grown cocoanut tree will ma

to reporter In reality the cocoanut
tree is one of the most valuable trees in
the world. nearly every part of it being
useful to man The natives eat the young
roots and also weave them into baskets
The tender leaves are crooked like cab
bage. and the old leaves are made into
cloth hats. baskets. fans. lanterns. etc
1t is also used for bedding. for matching
roofs. for fishing nets. even for writing
paper. The magnificent trunk of the tree
furnishes canoes. house posts and fences
The ribs of the leaves are so strong that
they make excellent paddles for boats, ar
rows. combs. torches and no end Of other
useful things
When the wood is burned it makes the
very best potash for soap BY a peculiar
process of fermentation. good vinegar can
be btained from it. and also a fair kind
of sugar The name of the fruit is de
rived from the Portuguese word cocoa
and the English word nut. Cocoa means
an ugly mask. and Is said to have been
given because the end of cocoanut looks
like monkeys face Last year 800. 600
cocoanuts were brought to this market.
the average wholesale price being four
cents apiece 1t is expected that the fig
