coanuts are finally accepted as fit

self up with his feet, the boy makes
his way to the treetop.
Each boy has a certain number
of trees to take care of and his
route is usually laid out so that he
visits each tree about once a month.
The cocoanut palm is peculiar in
that buds, tiny nuts, medium-sized
nuts and ripe nuts grow upon it at
the same time-it is almost as
though one branch of an apple tree
were in blossom while big red ap-
pies hung upon another branch. 1t
takes about 16 months for cocoa
nut to ripen, so that the planter
can tell over a year ahead how big
his crop is going to be.
The cocoanut grows In n thick,
fibrous pod or husk, which we never
see in this country, for it Is removed
before shipping. The pod protects
the nuts from insects, etc.
Penalty for Selecting Green Cocoa
nuts
Usually a boy will find that from
four to six nuts have rlpened since
his last visit. The annual yield Of
good tree is from 60 to G5 nuts.
After the nuts are picked they are
lowered or dropped to the ground
and oycarts which pass in and out
among the trees pile them along the
narrow gauge track that runs
through the plantation. The boys
are paid according to the number
of cocoanuts they harvest, but If a
green cocoanut Is found IN a boys

Cocoanut Is one of the foods that
has most benefited by the applica-
ton OF modern methods. In former
years the only form in which cocoa
nut meat was known was the whole
cocoanut. But there were several
disadvantages to buying it in this
form. The nut was hard to open
and grating its meat was tedious
'job.
. Another important drawback was
the fact that cocoanuts. unlike wal
I nuts, pecans and other nuts, do not
keep well II often required several
I months from the time the cocoanut

machinery and made alright The
cocoanut Is not touched by human
hands from the time 1t is washed
until the tube containing it Is
opened by the consumer.
Merit Of Containers
Just as cOcoanut sexperts have
learned by experience to select
quality nuts, so have they learned
by experiment the merit of different
containers. Cocoanut, after being
opened by a housewife, should not
be left exposed to the air for any
| length Of time because this will nave
tendency to put it out Of condi-
ton. A certain manufacturer OF Il
wellknown popular brand OF shred
| ded cocoanut, after experimenting
with the old-faShioned ordinary car
ton, hit upon round, firm cylindri-
cal container which has replacing
cover; in fact, the package practi-
cally becomes ever-sealed. By ac-
tual test, the cocoanut in this kind
OF a container retains its natural
full flavor and freshness for an in
definite period, and this point
should not be overlooked in the
purchase of shredded cocoanut.
The public is just beginning to
appreciate what really fine food
cocoanut is. Scientists and domes-
tic science experts have realized
| this for some time. Pound for
pound, 1t is more nourishing than
milk or eggs or potatoes.
More Nutritious Even Than Eggs
or Milk
Scientists have calculated that
one pound Of cocoanut contains as
much food value as 2 pounds Of
eggs (about twenty eggs), pounds
Of fish or milk, AZ pounds Of pota-
toes, 5 pounds of bananas, or 8
pounds Of apples.
In the tropics the cocoanut is
used in dozen different ways. 1t Is
one Of the staple articles OF food,
and natives are very fond Of cocoa
nut oil and do all their cooking in
it. The water inside the unripe nut
Is used for drinking purposes. The
heavy fibres Of the outer pods are
woven into ropes and mats, and the
leaves of the palm are used to
thatch huts, while the trunk Of the
tree supplies natives with one of
their most serviceable woods Small
pieces of the root, boiled with GIN
ger, make a useful medicine. In the
Caribbean they couldn't get along
without cocoanuts any better than
we could without wheat and corn.
Skilled housewives in this coun-
try are constantly finding new uses
for cocoanut. 1t can transform an
ordinary cake into a delicious con-
fection; 1t Is favored for pies and
puddings and the kiddies are en-
thusiaStic about cocoanut candy.
Cocoanut adds to almost any des-
sert from stewed fruit to ice cream,
but only the best cocoanut gives
perfect results.
A famous artist was once asked
his opinion Of painting by
younger man. He shook his head
sadly. "Why do you do that?"
friend objected. ITS fairly good
picture, isn't it?"
