PICO

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 584 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PICO , an
island
  in the Atlantic Ocean, belonging to Portugal, and forming part of the Azores archipelago. Pop. (1900), 24,028; area 175 sq. m. Pico is a conical mountain, rising to the height of 7612 ft. The soil consists entirely of pulverized lava. The so-called
Fayal
  wine, though named after an adjacent
island
 , was formerly produced here, and largely exported to Europe. But in 1852 the vines were attacked by the Oidium fungus and completely destroyed, while the orange-trees suffered almost as much from the Coccus hesperidum. The people were consequently forced to emigrate in
great
  numbers, till the planting of fig-trees and apricots alleviated the evil. Pico also produces a species of
wood
  resembling mahogany, and equal in quality to it. Its
chief
  town is Lagens do Pico. Pop. (2975).
