KODACHROMES BY WALTERMEAYERSEDWARDS(ABOVE)AND DAVIDS. BOYER© N.G.S. On velvety grounds of the Ponape Agricultural Develop ment Station, superior-quality coconuts take root to serve as replanting stock. The station's experiments with pepper and cacao introduced islanders to new crops. A cooperative group markets Micronesian pepper as a gourmet item. Chest-deep in muck, a Palauan woman gathers taro, starchy staple of Pacific is lands. After breaking off the bulbous rootstock, she re plants the top. Men of Palau disdain such tasks, but in the Truk Islands males work the boggy patches. 725
