Costa RIGA Bananas
(From The Washington Post

CFrom The Washington Post)
THE best bananas grown in the world
come from Port Limon, Costa Rica,"
said Mr.. Emil de Mario of New Orleans
They are shipped from Port Lfmon, and
the country grower gets about 80 cents
per bunch in gold. He is notified by wire
from the seaport when to cut. and has
two days in which to gather ard deliver
at the railways. Trains composed Of
well-ventilated cars take the fruit to a
fast steamer, which is waiting to con-
yey it abroad. The punches will average
about fourteen ha nds each, and each
hand has from seventeen to eighteen
bananas When the bunch gets to New
Orleans CT New York they are worth
about 81 each, a tremendous advance
over the price paid the Costa Rican pro-
ducer.
THE planter, however, is surer Of a
safe profit than any other person handl-
ing the fruit. Jamaica negroes do all the
Dor attendant on the planting, culture,
and cutting, being better adapted to the
work than the native peon. Jamaica ba-
nanas often make a finer appearance,
but are not SO prolific as the Port
Limon product. The best plantations of
Costa Rica are subject to overflow, and
the waters deposit a silt that greatly en-
riches the soil. Crops are ready for cut
ting the whole year round"

that the Holy Alliance cease its prep

republics. That was the OCCASION of
