Madagascar’s tangen tree as ancient judge of guilt
A Malagasy tale describes the tangen tree whose fruit allegedly reveals guilt by harming criminals who eat it. Judges once used the fruit in court to test innocence, with many bailiffs and prisoners dying or escaping, while modern methods reduce such practices. A French naturalist failed to obtain branches or fruit due to local aversion.

A weekly crop report from the Weather Bureau notes unseasonably low temperatures east of the Rocky Mountains and light rainfall in the central valleys. Wet, cold conditions slow farm work nationwide, with drought persisting in Florida and the central west gulf states.
