Agricultural Extension Notes
PUBLISHED BY
lHE VIRGIN ISLANDS AGRICULTURAL hX-
PERTINENT STATION, ST. CROIX.
THE PAPAYA
Bx LONGFIELD SMITH.

DIV LOINGElELD ONl1111.
This delicious tropical fruit and vege-
table deserves to be much more widely
cultivated in the Virgin Islands.
Ten years ago the Experiment Station
introduced the best varieties Of Papaya
fQom Hawaii. The fruits were apparent.
Iy much appreciated and quite a quantity
of seed was distributed. Since then the
Station has continued to grow a few
Hawaiian Papa5a and to give away seed.
Two years g some seed Of the best
varieties of Papaya from Samoa were
introduced and also some fresh seed
from Hawaii. The plants raised from
this seed have borne fruits already and a
quantity OF seed from these has been
distributed in the Virgin Islands.
In spite of these efforts to introduce
this fruit however, it would appear that
there is still little interest taken In it,
for there are still very few trees OF these
improved Papaya to be found in the
Islands.
1t is difficult to understand the reason
for this, since the soil and climate of the
Virgin Islands are well adapted to the
plant.
Any few feet of ground in a backyard
is capable OF producing two or three
Papaya trees, and they ought to be found
in every back yard Of every home in
town, and they ought to be found on
every plantation.
The fruit is wholesome; so much so,
tt at, in Samoa, even babies and young
children are largely brought up on it.
When green, the fruit makes a delicate
and delicious vegetable, resembling
Squash 1t contains a chemical sub
stance called "Papain" which is a power
full digestive, resembling the animal
digestive called 'Pepsin". On this ac-
count alone it deserves a place in the
diet Of the people OF these Islands
The Papaya plants are of two kinds,
Male an Female Only the latter bear
fruit, but the former are necessary 10
f|ertiliSe the latter. 1t is useless how
ever to keep more than one male Papaya
tree to every eight or ten female trees.
The male trees bear their blossoms on
long pendulous spikes, while the female
trees bear their blossoms singly, and
close 10 the main trunk of the tree.
The Papaya bears fruits in less than
a year from planting, and, as a rule, con
tinues to bear for about q year. After
this time the trees usually acquire
disease, and the fruits become smaller,
so that it is best to raise a fresh crop
from seed every che or W. years. Keep
the seed of the best and sweetest fruits
for propagation.

HARDING TO GREET
WORLD IN OPENING
BIGGEST WIRELESS


NEW YORK. Oct 22.-The people
OF virtually all civilized nations of
the world will be simultaneously ad-
dressed by President Harding on
November 8. when he sends out from
the White House the first message
transmitted by the New York radio
central on Long Island, said TO be
the most powerful in existence.
Arrangements for the President
wireless greeting were completed al
the White House yesterday by David
Sarnoff, general manager Of the
Radio Corporation OF America. over
a land wire connected with the radio
station and looped into the White
House the President will officially
open the station and dictate his mes
sage. The radio plant occupies a tract
of 10 square miles and with its ten
units in full operation will furnish
a transmitting energy OF 1000 kilo-
watts-ten times the electrical en-
ergy employed by the largest existing
radio stations.
