GRAND CAYMAN—
THE PIRATE ISLAND
I will take you far away to what
was once a pirate island in the Span-
ish Main. There coquina forts are
crumbling in the thickets; there old
rusty guns lie buried in white coral
sand; and there much treasure elo
doubt lies buried still. It is an isdand
that for all its present simplicity and
peace etil wears a ely air of mystery;
it le the island of Grand Cayman, far
down to the 5011111 of Cuba, in the
Carrilehean Sea. I bid you come with
me in memory over those enchanted
eunlit seas of crystal turquoise and
visit Grand Cayman. We shall not
bather much with hietory or with
date,. Aswe sail south and ever
south let us take time only to remind
ourselves that the history of Grand
Cayman :brains in 11305, that Colum-
bus himself discovered it and that in
the beginning it was a Spanish col-
ony. There came a confused time of
sea battles and of land battles, 'with
Spanish, Dutch, French and 'English
all aghting for it; and then came pir-
ates and made the place their own.
The strong arm ruled. Slaves were
brought there, and many a ship-
wrecked mariner was cast up there;
and deserters came, too, from Crom-
well's army in Jamaica. Tall galleons,
treasure -laden, were towed in and
burned there; and pieces of eight,
golden ingots from Peru, perhaps
even the great Inca's jewels, were
buried in its sands, Ah, wild and
rough days in the 'beginning! Human
life was not worth a fig. You remem-
ber that in The Pirate Sir Walter
Scott eays: "Is he dead? It is a more
serious meestion here than it would be
on the :Gran Caiman... where a 'brace
or two of fellows may be shot in a
morning and no more heard of or
asked about them than if they were
so many wood pigeons!"
Now all that violence is done and
forgotten as completely as the rusty
old cannons in the sand. Forgotten,
too, are the times when, though open
piracy had vanished, "wracking" still
continued, and men ibuilt beacons to
lure 'ships on shore; when clothes
were made of fine silks, and houses
were built of the 'splendid hardwood
fittings of merchantmen. To -day
Grand Cayman follows the ways. of
peace, though you still feel 'brooding

So, like the ancient Athenians, they
are always :eager to hear any new

'n.et languege you have to listen to
with care if you 'would 'understand it.
The boys, however, do not talk much.
Our 'strange clothes and the fact that
we •come from the States" overawe
them. What strange beings we are, to
be sure! And what wonderful things
we must have seen. Not one of them
has ever seen the thieusand and one
things that to us are as common as
air. Now we walk through the little
Lown and see strange 'floveers, 'plants
and trees of which we in turn are
ignorant. There are coral beans and
licorice plants, mangroves, naseber-
ries, yams, cacti, tamariads, mangoes,
breadfruits, :guavas, ,gum trees, pome-
granates, papaws, avocados and no
end of other strange fruit and
growths. The date, the banana and
the cocoanut we recognize, though
perhaps some of us have never been
able to pick them, "just like thee':
Here it is that the boys wero trail

We break the ice,—figurative ice, of
course, since no one at Cayman has
ever seen reel ice or snow or even ice
cream,—we break the 'figurative ice, I
say, by showing a handful of money
and proposing a raee. Down ehere a
handful of money does net mean
much. The Cayman penny is almost
as big as a fifty -cent, piece and fully
as impressive. You need a strong poc-
ket to carry enough change ,for an af-
ternoon's shopping in the little 'bare
stores where they sell things by the
shilling, by the sixpence or by the
eha'penny," and where they dispense

That is an encouraging start. We

NOrteans." Beyond that his geogra-
phy does not extend.
The boys are all 'willing to swim
for us. They do not need any pennies
to make them swim; they are amphibi-
ous front birth. They take us down to
the wonderful coral,—more than a
thousand species of coral are said to
exist on this one island,—and there
they peel :off thee- scant raiment and
leap into the surf like so many frogs.
Many a northern boy would envy
their wonderful skill. Swimming must
be their one great sport—that and
paddling the "tippy" little dugout ca -
ruses and tiny sailing craft, tlee. canvas
of which is often 'flour bags sewed to-
gether. Their dexterity with paddle
and sail is marvelous indeed. Nor do
they seem to fear the saark. Maybe
they are too quick for him. At any
rate, they pay hint no heed.
Many things remain .for us to see,
but we must dwell a minute on the re-
lation of the Caymaneros to the sea,
It is their life, their all. They 'build
stanch schooners and trade with Cuba,
with Jamaica and with 'Central Am-
erica, though sometimes they have
neither compass nor chronometer,
but reckon their position by measur-
Mg a notched .tick the height of the
palestar. They also guide their craft
ey a ecienee they call "plain naviga-
tion." That they ever get anywhere is
a miracle, but they do, and they come
back again often heavily laden with
"tortle" from Nicaragua and from
Cuba. The turtles they "crawl" (cor-
ral) in great pens in North Sound. In
their dugouts they take .wonderful
voyages; we hear that dugouts have
'yen made the trip to , Honduras and
eack. The boys sail marvelously in
skiffs so tiny that they have to drag
one leg over the gunwale to 'balance
xith—shifting skillfully as the skiff
somes round. You never hear of a
Caymanero's getting drowned.
It does .not seem to us that a boy's
life on Gram' Cayman is very hard.
There are schools, to be sure; 'but the
zurricultim is not overpowering. The
three R's" are about all it includes.

or the men, either, oppressed by it.

Many Corn Borers
Heavy cora borer infestation in
corn being marketed from Essex and
Kent Counties is reported by London
trackers. A London 'district market
gardener and trucker, destroyed more
than 'half a ahipment of 100 dozen ears
of corn he trucked to London recent-
ly, found to be infested with the
borer,
,Other truckers have experienced si-
mitats cases, aithough damage Was
E01111d to be less Shan in the case
cited.
Up to the present time the wide-
spread damage done by 'the borer has
tended to keep -early corn prices at a
higher level than usual. Per dozen
ears, corn retailed at 210 to 2,5 cents on
London market.
Practise Strip Farming
Strip forming has anrived in eastern
Canada. The taleacco growers in On-
tario are suffering from drifting and
severe humus depletion. On their
light sand land, rye is about the only
fall crop they can grow and they are
using it for the double purpose af
windbreak and a green crop to plow
under. J. L. Stansell, Straffordville,
seeds all of the tobacco land to rye in
the fall. Next spring the rye is plowed
in serips, one third 'being left. Once
in three years, therefore, all of the
land is in. rye that is allowed to grow
until the 'tobacco :plants no longer re-
quire protection, when it too is plowed
under. With this rotation, Mr. Stan -
sell and his son expect to keep on
growing tobacco on the same fields
almost indefinitely.
Early Peach Crop
A peach crop survey conducted by
the Ontario :Department of Agricul-
ture last week shows that canning
peaches of the famous "V" type, Vid-
dette, Valiant and Veteran, will reach
Ontario markets the week of August
115th. These varieties, originated at 'the
Horticultural Experiment Station,
Vineland, have 'largely replaced the
Crawford in: the affeotion of .Ontario
housewives. They will be :followed by
the 'Mena two weeks later.
'The entire crop will be ten -days
earlier than last year, growers agree.
They point out that Rochester, a good
canning peach, hut not quite so free
at the ait as the "V" peaches, was
firm picked last year August dath and
was ready by the 1.0th this year.
In 'disoussing -crop prospects, grow-
ers stated that owing to in -creased pro-
duction as a result .of more trees com-
inig into bearing For the 'Rest time this
year, "V" peaches will show an in-
crease of 115 per cent over 11937. El-
bentas. are down Ito to 115 per cent
which will make the canning -crop just
about equal the total for 1937 with
quality 'better then Met year. Prices
will he just as eeasonalite, growers
predict.
