Nearly all the lime juice used in the
world comes from the tiny island of
Montserrat, in the British West In
dies. The lime grows wild in many
West Indian islands. but only in Mont
serrat is it used commercially. That
island Is one vast garden of lime trees,
and nowhere in the world is there a
finer sight than its thirty miles of
orchards, laden with the fruit of the
time or fragrant with it's blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wom-
en-, who carry it down the hills to
the shipping port in big baskets on
their heads. Like all West Indians,
they are remarkable for their ability
to carry heavy weights in this manner.
Once the company which controls the
lime juice industry sought to Tighten
the burden of it's laborers by introduce

The negroes filled the wheelbarrows
readily enough, and then carried them
on their heads as they had been used
to carry the baskets. Many a negro
