VANILLA CULTURE IN
THE SOCIETY ISLANDS

Have any of my readers ever
stopped to consider where the
extract of vanilla they are using
comes from or wondered how it
was producedl 1t is with a view
of answering these possible ques-
tions that | have undertaken to
write the following description
and place few facts connected
with vanilla growing before the
reading public.
The first step in starting a va
nilla plantation is to clear the
land of large trees and excessive
underground. The work is done
by natives with large knives. The
largest trees are simply girdled
and left to die while the small
trees and brush are burned. As
soon as the land has been cleared
it is ready for planting, no one
ever thinks of blowing. Small
posts are set in the ground in
rows to act as supports for the
growing plants. Some use dead
timber for the posts and others
use living trees as the vanilla
docs not grow very well if it has
too much sunlight. The owner
of the plantation then gets some
cutting about six or seven feet
long from an adjoining planta
ton. They are long enough to
reach from the ground to the
/ top of the post and almost to
the ground again. The large end
of the cutting is thrust into the
ground and work is finished for
the first year. There is plenty
of rain and irrigation is never
used. The vanilla grows until
the support is covered with run
ners.
The second year when the flow
ers begin to appear the work
commences in earnest. Inoculat-
ing the flowers is considered by
all to be the most tedious Job
connected with vanilla raising. A
small stick is thrust into
the flower in such a way that it
causes the pollen to fall into
the seed box thus fertilizing the
flower. Where there are hum
ming birds this labor is uncalled
for as the birds puncture the
bloom with their long bill. An
expert native can inoculate about
1000 flowers per day. The flow
ers that are not inoculated the
day they open, drop off valuless.
Vanilla grows on the vine in
punches of from two to ten beans
to the bunch, the beans being IL
bout five inches long. 1t takes
vanilla nine months to mature
properly and when ripe the
punches are cut and taken to the
chief of the district, weighed and
sold to Cinnamon. The product
/ HOW SOtS lllIOuSn d vi y ing pIp-
cess. A few white men dry va
nilla and they get top prices on
the Frisco market or about 81 so
per pound. The Chinese dry
the bulk of the product and get
only 81 per pound. The Chinese
turn out very dirty vanilla dry
ing the beans about three months
out of doors on the ground. The
white men use a different method
and require six or seven months.
When dry the beans are sorted
and tied in bundles of about 80
beans to the bundle, arranged ac-
cording to length and these bun
dies are placed in large tins con
tanning about so pounds and
sealed air tight. Some 200 tons
are annually shipped to San
Francisco, London, Paris or other
The La Jara chronicle., 1911-03-17

large cities to be made into the
extract of commerce.
The natives think people who
eat vanilla must be funny as it
cannot be eaten in the raw state
and they do not understand the
change made in process of manu-
facture.
After the vanilla is sold the
natives hold a big ''tamaara or
feast which lasts as long as
they have money to buy bread
and wine and he is just as poor
at the end of the season as he
was at the beginning.
That is the whole story of va
nilla growing from beginning to
end. One year is just like an
other. 1t is the same old round
of inoculating. resting, cutting,
drying and drinking up the
proceeds. There has been no
change or improvement in method
since vanilla growing was first
introduced in this land many
years ago.

Shooting at Conejos.

Thomas j. Abey ta, % years old.
ranch hand employed by Fred

last night about 6:3O on the road
between Conejos and Guadaloupe
by Jose f. Quintana, saloon
keeper. Coroner McCunniff went
over to-day and held an inquest
the jury returning "A verdict that
the shooting was felonious. Quin-
tana is married man with

Jealousy is said to have been the
cause.

Considerable criticism of the
agricultural special developes on
account of the great variety of sub
ject covered anb the abs ence of ex-
planation of the exhibits by the pro-
fessor in charge. In the narrow
aisle of a crowded car there was no.
thing to it but step along with little
more than side glance at tht ex-
hibits arranged with so much care.
AS an advertisement for the agri-
cultural college the train was first
class but if half of the exhibit could
have been left at home and the
space used for the accomdation of
the public while a lecture was given
on the part remaining much better
results might have been obtained
and the train would have come
much nearer fulfilling expections
of the railroad that paid the freight.

SUGAR CONSUMPTION IN
THE UNITED STATES

The people of the United States con-
sumo half their own weight in sugar
every year. This may seem start
ling statement, but if we take the
quantity of sugar produced in the Unit
ed States and add to this the quantity
brought from our own islands and the
quantity imported from foreign coun-
tries, and subtract therefrom the
amount exported, we get grand total
of considerably more than billion
pounds consumed in the country; and
by dividing the population into this
grand total, we get an average of IL
pounds per capita, speaking in round
terms, for 1910, and about like guam
tity for 1909 It is not assumed, of
course, that each person necessarily
consumes sugar equal to one-half his
individual weight; but taking the total
consumption and comparing it with the
total population in the section known
as continental United States, the aver

for what, in it's immediate purpose, is
a private use"

There is a good deal of justice in
the hot protest which Colonel Henry
Watterson makes in his article in The
North American Review against the
glorification OF old John Brown of Osa-
watomie as a national hero. 1t is a
perilous matter for any American citi-
zen to heroize Brown before his boys,
for Brown was practically everything
that a modern American citizen should
not want his sons to be. Even Browns
religion was a sorry type, full of venge-
ance and vacant of love, and his citi-
zenship was vastly more undesirable
than that of most of the anarchists who
are so abominated by the populace to
day. The sentimentality which has
made a patriotic martyr out Of this
very vicious murderer is but cheap
imitation of really sound and yirile
patriotism

The opinion of Justice Holmes of
the United States supreme court affirm
ing the constitutionality of the Okla
homa and other state bank guarantee
laws contains some interesting pas
sages. It was asserted that assess
ment of one bank to pay the losses of
another constituted contiscation Of
private property This, said the jus
tlce, might be admitted but it is es-
tablished that an ulterion public adj
vantage may justify comparatively
insignificant taking of private property

EMPIRE BUILDING

Cables were favorable. In the early trad ing shorts were inclined to cover as the result of increased spot sales in the Liv- erpool market and the report that East Indian mills were buying low grade American cotton because of the great rise in the price of native cotton. The weather map indicated light showers in Texas, but not enough rain fell to make the map a market feature. At the end of the first half hour of business the trading months were 50i6 points over yes- terdays close.
 The market was dull but steady throughout the morning session. Toward the middle of the morning there was d slight sag which put the active months within point or two of yesterdays close. This was due to offerings from the long side. Later the market strength- ened again on reports of a continued good spot demand In the interior and on telegrams from New York that promi- nent dry goods houses were claiming that thus far this year they have done rec ord breaking business. At noon the ac- tive months were 9d10 points over yes terdays close.
 In the afternoon session the market was very steady on a moderate amount of trading. At 2 o'clock the trading months were 10 points over yesterdays close
 The market closed at net advance of 4@13 points.

BOXING MATCH
 BECOMES MOB FIGHT

London. January 24.-The fickleness of the London boxing enthusiasts was well illustrated at the ring last night when Young Josephs of Allgate and Arthur Evenden of Firth met in contest of 20 rounds for the welterweight champion ship of England. When Eugene Corey. the referee, appeared he was greeted with applause.
 When he disqualified Josephs. the holder Of the Lonsdale, belt and ten to four favorite for holding in the third round, thousands of Josephs' packers flung not only the sponge but bowls and moro dan gerous missiles at the referee and in the melee injured the timekeeperr Matters became so serious that the Marquis of Queensberry, who acted as chairman of the fight, and MT. Corey were escorted from the ring to safety by a biz body- guard of friends.
