Virgin Islonds Agricultural Program News
Contributed by the Experiment Station

Most Virgin Islanders are familiar with the cashew tree.
However, few islanders realize the tremendous potential for
cash income that cashew can mean. The average resident
knows the tree and its common products, such as the caSheW
"apple" and the caSheW nut. Commercial demand for the
"apple" does not exist in the main market for cashew, which
is the United States. But a strong demand for the NIT does
exist and is increasing. The nuts are roasted and Salted, and
marketed in the same manner and through the same outlets
as are sailed peanuts. They command a higher price, how
ever, because they are preferred to peanuts as a CONNECTION.
But, surprising as it may seem to most people, an un-
realized but valuable by-product is proving to be even more
important than the nuts. That by product is the oil contained
in the shell surrounding the nut. That oil is what is usually
driven off by roasting the nuts before Smelling. That is done
because the oil is extremely irritating, and causes severe
rashes when contracting the skim However, that is the only
undesirable aspect Of the oil. The desirable features of the oil
are those that result from its wide usefulness. The oil is a
source Of many resins and plastics. It is used directly as q pre-
sentative in the painting of boats fshnets and light wood
work, and as a waterproofing agent. It can be processed as
used 70 rbonding, surface coating, and holding compositions.
When the oil is distilled, the products of that distillation can
be used in various industries. Some Of these are the manLfac-
turing of insulating ~varnshes, typewriter rolls oil-and acid
proof cold setting cements, industrial flooring tiles, and auto
mobile brake Innings.
With such a wide range Of uses, there should be a strong
demand for the oil, and there certainly is. The United States
is one of the major markets for cashew shell oil in the world,
and obtains nearly all Of its requirements from India. just
to illustrate how strong this need for the oil is, here are
some Importation data: In 1916, a little more than 3 million
pounds of the oil was imported by the United States BY
1850 that jumped to 6 million pounds. And in 1858 the United
States took in almost IA million pounds Of cashew shell OIL
With a sharp increase like that, we can realize that we are
dealing with a crop that has a wide gap between demand
and supply. And the Virgin Islands can fill that gap admir-
ably.
The cashew is a crop that is well adapted to growing
conditions on St. Croix, ST. Thomas. and St. John. The tree
does well on what are ordinarily thought of as poor, dry soils
Trees on st. Croix are coming into bloom now, and fruits

The expected demise Of Viz
ginia's widely publicized Byrd
automatic tax credit act under
which taxpayers have received
some SOS million in reductions
over the last five years. win be
hailed heartily in some quar-
tiers. lamented in others.
Repeal of the controversial
law Is one Of the recommenda-
tions Of the Governors Capital
outlay study Commission
which is suggesting means of
financing 500 million worth Of
essential improvements over
the next six years.
Abolition of the law, two
income tax collections within
the same year. and a ban on
retail sales taxes were among
the recommendations in the
commissions report.
Byrd Ideo
The tax credit act is the IA
vorite brain-child of one Of
the States leading political
lights-State Senator Harry F.
Byrd. jr., of Winchester, son
of the United States Senator
who heads the dominant fac
ton OF the Democratic Party
in Virginia.
The laws chief virtue, &C.
cording to its hackers. Is that
it carries out a fundamental
principle written into the State
Constitution: That the Gen.
eral Assembly shall not Inn
pose more taxes than are nee
essary to carry on the func-
lions Of government.
Under the law, as originally
enacted, If the States con-
sentative budget makers con-
tinued to underestimate reve-
nues, the amount, of the ex-
cess was automatically "re-
turned" or credited to tax
payers the following year.
Another asset claimed by
supporters Of the measure is
that it has provided an in
centiye for large corporations
to move into Virginia with the
expectation that they would
obtain stable reductions in
their tax bills.

AUTO wan 5 AoNficttQn
Only last May. a Baltimore
County used-car dealer was
convicted Of doing business on
Sunday. and an appeal has
been taken to the Maryland
Court Of Appeals. In suspend
ing the minimum fine allowed
under the law, Judge Michael
Paul Smith of Baltimore
County Circuit Court suggested
that the General Assembly
should take another look at the
ancient blue law.
The legislators had a good
opportunity two years ago to
repeal or soften the blue laws
when they passed an omnibus
bill erasing several Anticipated
Maryland statutes, including
the one providing q whipping
penalty for wife heaters.
But the blue laws were left
untouched. The legislators,
being politicians, too. knew
that such laws have many avid
supporters among Catholic and
Protestant church people.
Rather than antagonize this
group Of voters. the lawmakers
chose to continue to walk o
tight rope. Keep the blue laws
on the books. they apparently
reason, but don't enforce them
unless you have to.

VIRGINIA:

ual taxpayers (S2 per cent? got
an average credit Of only s.
each. And only II per cent Of
individuals got an average Of
$3.50 in credits and Z per cent
got an average Of $50.
On the other hand the big
corporations were the largest
beneficiaries. The three largest

them: 1.T82 corporations got
20 per cent. or q total Of $l.2
million and $685. corporations
got the remaining II per cent.
amounting TO . total OF
$275.000.
These figures are based on
taxes paid for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1854. The
Young Turks contended that
the total Of some ST million
credited to corporations and
individuals did not represent o
true saving TO taxpayers be-
cause q large part OF the
money was drained out OF the
State to the Federal Govern
ment.
This Is because the Federal
Government allows exemption
for State taxes on incomes.
Hence, II the State tax Is
smaller, through credits. the
Federal tax becomes larger.
One Dissent
It can be recalled that at
the time Senator Byrd intro
duced his bill In 1850 there
was only one member Of the
State Senate who displayed
the political courage to take
the floor and speak against 1t.
He is Arlington's State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick.
who warned, In effect, that the
bill would do the very opposite
Of carrying out the philosophy
of economy in government so
often expressed by the pa
irons father. United States
Senator Byrd.
Mr.. Fenwick warned in 1850
that passage Of the bill would
make it impossible for the
State to meet imperative de-
mands for such needs as
mental hospitals because the
law would prevent the accu-
mutation Of SURPRISES. He
warned that the State might
have to depart from its tradi-
tional pay-as-you-go policy
and borrow money to finance
essential needs.

panied by gasping for breath
that caused the "whoop" which
became its trademark. This
could continue night and day
for from one to two months
and was much dreaded by ply
sicians with patients that were
very young or weakened.
The researchers with whom
DR.. Sauer worked at Brussels
and Vienna had prepared a
vaccine and began to inject 1t
into those who had already
contracted the disease. much
as gamma globulin was used
in earlier attacks on polio. but
it did not help as a cure.
In 1925 at Copenhagen. q
doctor made a stronger vac
cine and injected three week.
ly doses during an epidemic
there. Although 1t did not
prevent the disease, it made
the attacks milder and pre-
vented many deaths.

At this point, Dr.. Sauer be-
gan to work on the problem
Of a more effective vaccine
from freshly isolated strains
Of the bacillus grown on q
culture medium made with
blood Monkeys played a VIZ
tai role In this work just as
they do In connection with
polio vaccine. Later mice,
rabbits and guinea pigs were
used in testing and perfect
ing 1t.
When a series of repeated
experiments had assured DR..
Sauer Of the effectiveness and
safety Of his vaccine. tests be-
gan in 1881 on human pa
tients at the clinic In Evanston
and at st. Vincent's Hospital
in Chicago.
Since then thousands of in
fants have received the vac
cine In 1910 its use became
widespread. BY 1850 inter-
national acceptance of the
vaccine had been achieved.
The injections were used
widely In England. India and
China rs well as the United
States.
Two Chorts
DR.. Sauer has maintained
two charts comparing the ef-
feet of the vaccine on the in
cidence of the disease during
two decades In Evanston.
where it first was used. From
1922 to 1881, there were 1920
cases of whooping cough in
the city. including 10 deaths.
This was q normal fiow of
cases for the time, No epi-
denies as such occurred there,
From l943 to 1861. there were
only Ala cases and no deaths.
The Anal step came In the
last few years when 1t became
possible to combine the vac
cine with diphtheria toxin and
tetanus toxin 10 that three
doses Of the mixture injected
at monthly intervals would
protect for five years against
all three diseases.
One booster dose is given at
nursery school age, and school
age to insure continuing pro-
lection. DR.. Sauer recently
closed his whooping cough lab
oratory and declared his work
finished after spending 20
years in the continuous re-
search, His colleagues here
earlier this year held q civic
dinner in his honor.
