Overview

Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Experiment Station, 1936 Most mango varieties possess high vegetative vigor. Although the trees present a great bulk to hurricane winds of high velocity, experience in the East Indies has shown that even when blown over they seldom die. Logical regional planning would seem to indicate that mangoes could more safely be grown in some of our steep-sided valleys where they may attain some degree of protection from hurricane winds. Producers' cooperatives seem important for such new crops. The profitable production of truck crops for winter marketing is dependent upon the most competent technical knowledge for field management as well as alert representation in the continental markets. The production of other crops has shown the necessity of increased technical knowledge. The small producers of Puerto Rico individually have not been in a position to have market representation or obtain through experience the technical knowledge necessary for successful truck-crop or other specialized production. In this situation it would seem essential to form cooperative associations in which technical men would be employed to guide production methods, packing, and ship ping, as well as provide expert market representation. Regional specialization aids dissemination of technical information and formation of cooperatives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
