The department of agriculture wants
to teach the American public to appre-
ciate mangOs. and thereby add another

American market, says Washington
"Star.'' The department has been
working at mango culture for about
fourteen years and has one of the most
complete collection of mango plants in
the world But it is only in the past
year that the industry has really be
gun to look up, and it seems as though
there were a chance of making it a
real commercial success.
The mango is a tropical fruit. Flo
rida, below the lititude of Palm
Beach. Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
Philippines are all good spots, and it
is expected that within a few years
the mango industry will he worth
reckoning with.
The fruit grows wild in Cuba. In
fact. if it had not been for the mango
Spain might have still been in posses
sion of the island. for insurgents were
able to live on mangOS when there
was nothing else for them to live on
Probably every one of the $1,000 Amer
lean soldiers who poured into Cuba ate
mangOS. Yet there is certain seduct-
tive flavor to the fruit that makes
even civilized people eat it. There is
a spicy. aromatic flavor to it that is
found in no other fruit.
The department of agriculture has
collected mangOS from all over the
world, and Mr.. Oliver. who is i'm
charge of the tropical fruit work and
is himself mango enthusiast. says
that there are many varieties. two
