sight of the Boy Scouts standing in
silent respect at every station through
which the train passed, day and night,
that he wrote his impressions for Boy

Vanilla Bean Growing
Well i'm Porto Rico

A new industry is being established
in Porto Rico by agents of the United
States Department of Agriculture. This
is the growing of vanilla beans. After
careful trial under the auspices of the
agricultural experiment station in Porto
Rico it has been found that vanilla is
satisfactory export crop, particularly
adapted to all coffee lands.
The Porto Rican product compares
favorably with Bourbon or Java vanilla
in the same grades, or that of Guada-
loupe, French West Indies. Paintings
in Porto Rico are rapidly increasing
throughout the island.
The first commercial paintings on the
island, made in 1918, are now coming
into bearing. One planter, according to
reports to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has just marketed
his first crop, produced on about three
acres. The yield amounted to $50
pounds of cured beans. which sold for
