'Brazil-nuts from the Amazon Forests'
FRANK COLLIER
Travel talks continue. And today Mr. Frank Collier is to tell Schools about the impenetrable forests of the Amazon. The difficulty of travel has been solved by flying, and Mr. Collier will describe some of the difficulties of the residents that remain to be solved-especially the difficulty of floods.
They will hear about the climate, the people, the houses they live in ; about hard times for rubber cultivators, about the castenheira tree, and especially about Brazil nuts. Schoolboys and girls saw plenty of them at Christmas, and probably ate a few. Today they will hear how they are gathered and shipped to Britain and other parts of the world.
