Fact. Concerning - Large and Peculiar
Industry OF the Philippines.


Coprs. which is one Of the chief
products of the Philippine Islands,
is the dried meat of the cocoanut.
The industry, while comparatively
Young. presents some unique features
and the production of II, according to
a trade journal, is the outgrowth of
attempts made few years ago to find
some convenient method of exporting
the surplus quantity Of cocoanut oil
produced in the islands. The earthen
Jars in which the oil arrived at Manila
were too easily broken 20 be trans
ported with any degree of safety. The
only available alternative was a crude
form of barrel made in China for the
purpose. but these leaked SO pro
iusely that they gave very poor re-
suits. These difficulties led TO
search for a more convenient form ia
which to export the product. It was
,or the purpose of supplying this need
hat VI. Eduard Vidal taught the ma
ives how 20 prepare the cocoanut IN
a dry form such as is known on the
market as copra. basing his process
lpOn some experiments which he, to-
yether with some planters IN the
province OF Misamis. had carried on
with considerable success IN the year
iSS2.
As result Of the industry thus es-
.ablished. the exports OF this product
nave grown TO very large volume.
The method of preparing the copra Is
l comparatively simple one. When
he nut is perfectly ripe it Is cut into
lalves aud placed IN the sun without
'urther preparation. In few hours
he meat Of the nut is contracted by
he effect of the heat and becomes de
