Hawaii Chose the Most
Splendid Fruit
C'"IHE first pineapples grown in
Hawaii were not the splen-
did variety of Smooth Cay
cnne which is the basis of the
Hawaiian canning industry
today. The Smooth Cayenne is a
splendid pineapple, which grows uni
form and vigorous, and which, when
ripened in the sunshine, has a gen
erous quota of fruit sugar.
Back in 1886, when there was no
pineapple industry at all, the pioneer
Captain John Kidwell began to grow
pineapples to ship fresh to thq main
land, but he found that the fruit
that grew in Hawaii was of poor
quality. So he sent to other places
for their best pineapples and discov
ered the Smooth Cayenne. This
variety is the basis of today’s pine
apple industry which had its in
ception about thirty years ago, and
it has grown so spectacularly since
that time that it is now producing
pineapples in such quantities that
they may be placed on every table
at a price which makes them an
economical food.
Kidwell’s idea, however, of estab
lishing a business of shipping fresh
pineapples to the mainland, died a
speedy death, since a pineapple to
have its full quota of fruit sugar
must ripen in the sunshine, and pine
apples to be sent to the mainland
had to be picked green, and ripen
in the dark holds of vessels, which
robbed this fruit of much of its dis
tinctive and delicious taste. For
pineapple picked green anywhere
fails to develop the same sugar con
tent and hence the flavor and
FOODS IN SMALL CANS
' W-
A RECENT survey revealed the
fact that an amazing number
of different products are now pro
cessed and put up in those con
venient 8-ounce cans which con
tain just enough to content two
ipeople, or the contents of which
can even be consumed by one
hungry person alone,
v. These small individual cans
have proved a boon to the cities
"where storage space is at a pre_-
inium. When one realizes that 57
per cent, of our population now
lives in cities, as compared with
40 per cent, in 1900, one under
stands the reason for their popu
larity.
The season of summer bache
lors is fast approaching. For the
sake of these bachelor maids and
couples without children, nearly
a hundred different packs of
fruits and vegetables are now put
Bp in these small cans.
Here’s the List
The fruits include apple sauce,
apricots (plain and peeled), black
berries (including a fancy grade),
cherries (Royal Anne, black ring,
fed pitted and black), cranberry
figs (including a Califor
nia variety), fruit cocktail, fruits
for salad, fruit salad, grapefruit,
Brapes (seedless), loganberries
(including a fancy pack), olives
(ripe), peaches (diced, halves
sweetness of pineapple allowed to
come to full maturity on the plant.
A Problem Solved
But there was a solution, and it
came soon. First one and later
several companies took to canning
pineapple because that proved to be
the only way of getting the sun
ripened fruit to market, filled with
healthful vitamins and its full quota
of fruit sugar. The first shipments
were small, but the fruit w-as soon
canned in increasing quantities be
cause the public took to it from the
first. The more they ate, the more
they wanted, and the value of the
industry has grown from a nominal
sum at that time to an annual total
of about forty million dollars.
It couldn’t have done that without
a delicious tropical fruit, sun-rip
ened, and a scientific method of
getting it to market.
Some Pineapple Recipes

fectioner’s sugar, and add two and

This will serve four people.*
several more which were missed
in the survey, but many good re

above.
Some Fruit Recipes
Here are some fruit recipes, for
instance, which are easy to pre
pare and will serve from two to
four.
Raspberry Cream: Soak two
teaspoons gelatin in two table
spoons cold water five minutes.

butter, and pour into a buttered
baking dish. Cut rich baking
pow-der biscuit dough in , tiny
rounds and lay over the top.
Bake in a hot oven, 450°, for
fifteen minutes.*
LEST YOU FORGET YOUR
CARDEN
Plant seed deep During the sum
mer, seed should be pluntcd about
twice as deep as in the spring, in
order to get them down out of the
hot soil into moist ground.
To help seed come up, cover the
row where they are planted with
boards, sacks or straw. Remove
boards as soon as seeds show signs
of cracking through ground. Wet
ting the sacks or straw will hasten,
ns well as cause more seed to ger
minate. They can remain in place
until tho plants are well up.
Plant some of your fall garden in
a branch bottom, so in case of pro
longed drought you will have some
vegetables to rely upon.
Continue to plant: Black eye and
sugar crowdcr peas, beans, corn,
squash and cu umbers. And be sure
you have started your fall tomato,
cabbage and collat'd patches.

Editor Hilton, of the Banks coun

so is our bank. The town calaboose
stood empty for twenty years, then
I bought it from the city fathers and
made a doghouse and another little
house with the lumber. Labor con
ditions are excellent here. Not even
one well man idle. Work for every
body and everybody working. How
many towns in the United States
could make a report like this?”

SUN SET DOG’S TAIL AFIRE
WITH AID OF MAGNIFIER
Chicago.—-It was so hot in Chica
go that a dog’s tail wa •t on fire.
A bewhiskered man, who admitted
he was an insect collector but refus
ed to give his name, and his pet
chow, Gyp, seeking relief from th
boiling sun, camped beneath a huge
parasol at a north side beach. The
collector there pursued his studies
with a large magnifying glass.
Gyp, interested only in comfort,
stretched out in the shade near the
edge of the umbrella, the tip of his
tail exposed to the sun, and went
to sleep.
Drowsiness soon lulled Gpy’s
master to sleep, magnifying glass in
hand, but with the powerful lens ex
posed to the sun in such a manner
that Old Sid's ray wire concen
trated upon the hairy tip of Gyp’s
tail and set it afire.
Gyp’s owner was awakened by a
terrified yelp from the animal, which
extinguished the flame by leaping
into Lake Michigan after a mad
dash through a crowd of bathers.
WESTERN FARMERS HARVEST
ING TREMENDOUS WHEAT
CROP
/
Wheat harvest in the southwest
has reached a high pitch with indi
cations of one of the greatest yields
in history in the face of prices that
farmers have not seen so low in this
century, says a Kansas City dispatch.
Advancing over a front of hun
dreds of miles in the southern part
of Kansas, the banner wheat state,
harvesting machinery is gathering
grain under a blazing sun, while
crews to the south in Oklahoma and
the Texas panhandler are hastening
to finish in those states.
Although dismayed by prices re
ceived and in prospect, declared to
be far under the actual cost of pro
duction, farmers find some hope in
the fact that there will be a bumper
crop to market. The increased yield,
in some measure, is expected to
make up for the lower price per
bushel.

WHEN “EXPERTS” GET BUSY
The Atlanta Georgia says “a lot
of people who never did a day’s work
in their lives can tell us all about

which the Dalton Citizen adds “they
can tell you how* to run the country,
your business and everybody else’s
business.” True. Then there are
other “experts” who tell us how to
farm, how to merchandise, how to
keep our homes and gardens, how
to control our children, how they
should play, and how we should do
almost everything else to be thought
of. And the pity of it is that most
of these experts, so called, are on
the public payroll. That’s one of the
things “what ails us.”—Dawson
