Facts About Bananas.

Under very favorable circumstances
banana plant may give stem OF
fruit in nine months, but 1t generally
takes from fifteen to eighteen months
for the average plantations to be In full
bearing. The life of a plantation
varies according TO the fertility of its
soil and Typographical situation. Some
soils may need rest in six or seven
years, while others may last practically
forever, rs in cases where periodically
enriched by alluvial deposits. Sandy
loan, through which water or rain Will
freely percolate, is the best soil for
bananas. The stalk needs a large
amount Of rainfall for its successful
development, but water must not be
allowed to remain on the surface or
Immediately under the surface Of the
soil surrounding it, lest the water be
heated by the tropical sun and be-
come stagnant, in which case 1t will
kill the plant.-ChlcagO Journal.
