' ; i BANANA RAISING INDUSTRY (Continued from page 3) lie as it falls, where it. rapidly rots and disintegrate, adding greatly to the richness of the soil. It seems a great pity at first to see some of the magnificent trees root- ting on the ground when they appar cntly have in them great possibilities as lumber, but the fact is, most of the tropical trees are almost useless in that . climate as lumber, and great trees, five or six feet in diameter will almost completely rot away, in xtwo or three years while the smallest growth will not last one. The young banana plants sprout and make their way up through this fallen tangle as best they can. Of course, some of the "bits" neved sprout and after the young plants show well a gang of laborers go through and fill in the vacant places by planting suckers which have start ed at the base of older plants much as they do around the sugar cane stalks in our southern states. For a time the new jungle growth has to be cut to allow the young ba nana plants a good chance to get Oregon's I Biggest Event Annual Spring AT, Festival THE ARMORY (P 'and, Oregon.)

Musical started, but after the banana growth is once well started it is jq dense ..that it completely shades the land and almost discourages the growth of anything else.5' 't --p ' When the, banana growth becomes well established it requires very little in the way of cultivation and ! care. A banana plant begins to bear in from one year to fifteen months after planting,, but does not reach its max imum bearing power for two or thre years. An acre of bananas will yield from one to two hundred bunches of fruit a year. Perhaps one hundred and fifty is a fair average although there are many plantations that do better than this average. At Port Limon the small planters who are shipping through the United Fruit Company, were getting twenty, twenty-five and thirty cents per bunch for their fruit, delivered to the Fruit Company's cars or boats. If the average yield is one hundred and fifty bunches and the average price per bunch is twenty-five cents, it is easy to see that the planter selling thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents' worth of bananas per acre is getting far more than the" average for the best farming land in the United States for any crop that requires any thing like the small care. The land is worth from five to twenty dollars per acre and if the clearing and plant ing costs fifty dollars more it still looks like an excellent investment The bananas arc cut when from two-thirds to three-quarters grown and at that time they are very hard and can be handled much like cord wood. Two men with machettas do the cutting while a third with a mule carries the fruit to the tracks or boat landing. Four bunches at a time are slung across the back of the mule with canvas or burlap slings. There are three common methods of loading the ships. Where there is a good wharf and the trade is not very large the bananas are carried abroad by laborers, who march in an unbroken line, each man with a bunch upon his shoulders, up one gang plank delivering the fruit to a "man who passes it into the hold, and down another to receive another bunch, and so they pass in endless proces sion until the cargo is complete. In places like Bocas del Toro where the ships must be loaded in the har bor away from the wharf, the fruit is brought along side in lighters and is handed abroad from them. ' At the larger shipping places where the wharfage is favorable, a steam loader is used. This consists of a long endlesa belt upon a frame reach ing from the wharf to the deck of the ship. The line of men carry the fruit from the cars or trucks and place it upon the moving belt which con veys it to trie deck. I have seen a cargo of twenty thousand bunches loaded with the help of two of those machines in eight hours. The fifteen thousand acres banana farm of the United Fruit Company, with its forty miles of railroad track, thirty or forty gasoline launches used for towing the lighters to the sloops, is a sight worth going a long way to see and the trip up the Changuinola river which is lined for fourteen miles with the magnificent growth of bananas is one to be long remembered. , Some idea of, the amount of this fruit that is shipped to the States may be had from the fact that the present output from Limon is about million bunches a year and from Bocas del Toro about nine hundred thousand. . Santa Marta, which , a few years ago was shipping a small cargo once in two weeks, now ships at least a full ship load each week. Large quantities of the fruit are shipped from Jamaica and nearly every port on the "Spanish Main" sends its quota, still the market is far from glutted and there is still plenty j of room for this great industry.
