Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey
CaSheW Nut.


For Christmas trade, more than
500 tons of casheW nuts were pa
tiently shelled by individuals No
has been invented that
will shell the nuts as satisfactorily
as by skilled labor.
Cashew trees are exceptionally
valuable. Almost every inch is pro-
ductive of a by-product with in
trinsic value Aside from the nuts,
the deep metallic green leaves
make an excellent mulch and when
buried, a good plant food. Boats
and fine packing boxes are made
from the light, close-grained wood.
The f1eshy stem is the source of a
refreshing beverage also a type of
varnish. Natives of Mozambique
concoct a liquor from the juice of
the stem. 1t Is forbidden by law
and natives are not permitted to
own tree.
Cashew trees are very attractive.
They stand 40 feet high with a 60
foot spread. In August the area in
which they grow is lovely rose
tinted hue from the red blossoms.
The deep green leaves offer shade to
man and beast during the hot
weather. Only tenth of the bear
ing trees are cultivated. Others
grow in great clumps in a coastal
belt running from Lourenco Mar
ques northWard to Beira in south
east Africa. The two principal
plantation areas are in the district
of Nampula and Port Amelia.
There are two varieties of
cashews-the red and yellow. These
are identified by their stems. The
stem of cashew consists of a
f1eshy substance about the shape
and size of small bell pepper, from
the lower end of which projects the
fruit or nut.
Blossoming time is in August
when you can see the splashes of
red for miles and smell the delicious
perfume for the same distance. The
fruit begins to form in October, ac-
cording to the latitude and period
of first rains. During this time, the
fruit attains it's full size almost at
once.
Outwardly the cashew fruit as
sumes small kidney-shaped, ash
colored nut, as hard and dry as
leather. This nut nestled at the
stem end of the apple" consists of
two parts, outer shell, inner, almond
kernel. This kernel Is expertly re-
moved by hand.
The cashew nut Is the richest OF
the trees products. It has a mind,
pleasant favor, ranking high in
nutritive value. 1t is in demand as
a salty ccnfection and in candies
and pastry. Oil is made from it
that is used to treat leprosy, warts,
corns, ulcers and as a substitute for
iodine.
Trees bear in their third year.
but yield a paying crop in their
fifth or sixth year. A good tree
produces Al pounds of nuts. From
the she'll black, viscous extremely
pungent, blistering oil is made. This
oil is an all-purpose oil that lubri-
Gates bearings, immunizes wood and
paper, waterproofs textiles, insulates
electric equipment and is good in
varnishes and paints. To date this
oil has rot reached us. The seeds
to the valuable tree were brought
from South America to Africa and
Asia. The Brazilian name is
"acaj ajaiba."

with Joe jeanette will live as long
as boxing records are talked "a
bout.
Sam McVey was born at Oxnard,
CAL, in 1888. He died in Harlem
hospital in 1922 after being ac-
claimed here and in Europe for
his boxing skill and gentlemanly
department.
In 1910 he was a member of
boxing's "Big Four" in the heavy
weight division, all Negroes, who
dominated the fight picture, Jack
Johnson, Sam Langford, Joe jean
cite and McVey.
His fight with Joe jeanette was
the most savage of modern glove
history. McVey floored jeanette
26 times but could not keep the
"iron man" down for good. Nc
Vey lost in the 49th when he
could no longer grope his way to
ringcenter.
In Is years of boxing McVey
was never whipped by a white OPP
ponent. He fought Sam Langford
as often as you and I go to the
supper table.
Dec. "a, 1911, won over Lang
ford, Sydney, Australia -2Ords.

20rd, Sydney, Oct. 9, 1912 was
kayoed in II rds by Langford, at
Perth Australia, Mar. "a, 1918,
drew in cords with Langford, at
Brisbane, Australia.
Despite Australia's known poor
treatment of Negroes the "Aus-
sizes" from down under idolized
McVey and Langford, two of the
all-time best.
Jack Johnson was McVey's
master, McVey losing twice, 20
rounds to the first Negro heavy
weight boxing monarch in 1908,
and being kayoed by Johnson in
20 rounds a year later. He pos
sessed a good singing voice. He
was renamed by loving Paris
Parisians, McVey, becoming the
toast Of Paris boulevards.
He was truly a great athlete.
