.It is a native of New Guinea and is largely

cultivated for the valuable flour obtained. < ron tne stens. The prepared

flour is’commercially known as sago and forms a Valuable article of

export from this Colony. The stem when fully developed,is cut down

and divided into pieces from three to four feet in length. The outer

bark having been removed.the soft pith is scraped out by means of

various scrapers and pounded in water.removing the starchy matter

from the fibres of the stem and holding the former in suspension.
