Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pineapple in Hawaii Pineapple growing is a new industry in Hawaii. It is only a few years ago that its foundations were laid, and less than a decade since any rapid development began. As is often the case with new enterprises, it was the subject of scorn and ridi cule, and land which now smiles with its golden harvest of fruit was said to be useless for any purpose except the grazing of a few cattle. The industry is now well established, and although there are many unsolved problems connected With the growing and marketing of the crop, the experimental stage is well past and the attention of homesteaders and capitalists is being at tracted to this new field. With the recent Opening of Govern ment lands in various parts of the pineapple belt for homestead ing, has come a demand for information relative to methods of growing pineapples in Hawaii. This station has published sev eral bulletins dealing with special phases of the subject, suchas the management of pineapple soils,1 the manganese problem,2 the pineapple scale,3 and the marketing of the fresh fruit on the mainland,4 but no publication covering the field in general has been issued. This paper is presented as an attempt to bring together in a simple way the results of experience on the more important aspects of pineapple cultivation in Hawaii, but While general in its scope it makes no attempt at an exhaustive treat ment.

Download or read book The Mango in Porto Rico Classic Reprint written by G. N. Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mango in Porto Rico This impression formed in the minds Of the novelty-loving public will doubtless be difficult to dispel; but if really good mangoes could be placed in the markets their increase in popular favor would be certain and the growing Of mangoes might become a profitable pursuit. In Spite of the fact that in all mango-producing countries the natives consider the fruit wholesome and perfectly safe, prejudice against it exists among some military Officials and others, who condemn the fruit as positively dangerous. During the Spanish war this prejudice was SO strong that the soldiers in Porto Rico were prohibited from eating the mango, and many beautiful trees were cut down. This unjust prejudice probably arose from; eating the fruit when unripe, in which state, like most other fruits, it is unwholesome. Soldiers, hungry for fresh fruit and quite unfamiliar with the mango, might easily mistake the green for the ripe, especially as in Porto Rico some of the varieties when ripe still remain green in color. All varieties become mellow when ripe, however, and if eaten in that condition can not but be wholesome. It is commonly believed in Porto Rico that the mango and rum should never be partaken at the same time. This again probably applies to the green fruit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies on Refrigeration of Puerto Rican Red Spanish Pineapples, 1938 Practically all fresh fruits and vegetables shipped to New York City from distant producing sections are carried under refrigeration. As recently as 10 or 15 years ago many of these commodities were con sidered too sensitive to cold to be able to stand this treatment. Such changes in shipping practice have usually been brought about after care fully conducted experiments have shown the limitations as well as the advantages of refrigeration for the particular fruit or vegetable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vegetable Growing in Porto Rico Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript by H. C. Henricksen on the subject of Vegetable Growing in Porto Rico. The idea prevails in some sections that vegetables of good quality can not be produced in Porto Rico. The results attained at the Porto Rico Experiment Station, and the experience of practical growers in different parts of the island, happily show that this is a mistake. In nearly all portions of the island the climatic conditions are very favor able, while the potentiality of Porto Rican soils has hardly 'been touched. Not only may the condition of the inhabitants of the island be greatly improved by growing more and better vegetables, but the exportation to the States should yield a very handsome return. The results obtained by planters in various parts of the island show that successful vegetable growing is not confined to any one section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cover Crops for Porto Rico Any quick-growing crop which will make a thrifty top and root growth and will not, if it escapes cultivation, become a weed, may be used as a cover crop. In most localities of Porto Rico any such crop is preferable to clean cultivation. The selection of the plant will depend upon its resistance to disease and insect enemies, its vigor in seasons when desired, its habits of growth, and what it returns to the soil. Since nitrogen is an expensive fertilizer element and one which is present in comparatively small quantities in most Porto Rican soils, the choice will be from the number of leguminous plants which, in addition to the good qualities of other plants used for cover crops, have the power of storing in the soil nitrogen which they take from the atmosphere. The selection of legumes suited to the peculiar needs of the fields in which they are to be grown is of great importance in Porto Rico, as there is a great variety of soil types, a wide range of rainfall for different sections, and a great difference in the length of the growing season and habits of growth of the different plants, [which suit them to a peculiar condition. Soils devoted to horticulture here are of two general classes - the light, sandy types, and the heavy, clay loams. The surface of both is subject to drying out quickly when rainfall ceases, and should be protected from the intense sun heat throughout the long summer. Vegetable matter is needed for bind ing the sandy types, for loosening the heavy ones, and for enriching both, and. A Vigorous grower should be planted to supply it. The heavy soils are, as a rule, poorly drained and require a crop that will thrive under such conditions, while those for sandy areas must resist the short, intermittent droughts and be capable of sending out a large root system which will enable them to thrive where the fertility is low. An extensive root system is needed also to prevent surface wash ing which in every locality results from the heavy rains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yautias, or Taniers, of Porto Rico In View of the fact that no publication on this subject is thus far available, and in consideration of the growing interest in this, perhaps the oldest cultivated crop in the world, it is deemed expedient to offer the following notes. Moreover, until recently a deplorable confusion has existed between the taro, so common throughout the warmer regions of the Old World, and the tanier, which is distinctively a tropical American species. This remarkable, if not unique, case of confounding two of the most important food plants in the Tropics demands attention.

Download or read book Getting the message through A Branch History of the U S Army Signal Corps written by Rebecca Robbins Raines and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1996 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the Message Through, the companion volume to Rebecca Robbins Raines' Signal Corps, traces the evolution of the corps from the appointment of the first signal officer on the eve of the Civil War, through its stages of growth and change, to its service in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. Raines highlights not only the increasingly specialized nature of warfare and the rise of sophisticated communications technology, but also such diverse missions as weather reporting and military aviation. Information dominance in the form of superior communications is considered to be sine qua non to modern warfare. As Raines ably shows, the Signal Corps--once considered by some Army officers to be of little or no military value--and the communications it provides have become integral to all aspects of military operations on modern digitized battlefields. The volume is an invaluable reference source for anyone interested in the institutional history of the branch.
