BANANAS.
Excerpt from communication from

Bananas. There are two commercial
varieties, the Chinese and the jana
lea. Propagated by suckers. Usually
set ten by ten feet, or 430 to the acre.
The time of ripening depends on the
at which the banana is grown,
ranging from Is to "a months for the
Chinese, and 10 to "A months for the
Jamaica. After the first crop, Chi
nese bananas yield 700 to 900 punches
per annum The Chinese banana can
be produced at a profit at so cents a
bunch. The freight from Honolulu to
San Francisco is 40 cents, so that at
81 90 per bunch in San Francisco there
is a ten per cent margin of profit.
Large punches that arrive in San
Francisco in good condition, sell for
s1.75 to $3.50 per bunch. The Jamaica
banana is larger than the Chinese, the
punches being heavier. Prices in San
Francisco range from $3.50 to $500.
The yield per acre after the first crop
Is from 500 to 700 punches. Cost of
less than in the case of
The Chinese, because the Jamaica will
ship without wrapping.

q Acres.-Following the method of
planting al Nahiku, 400 trees would be
planted TO the acre, or 10000 trees in
all. One advantage of close planting
at first is that the trees will not
branch too early. Another and more
important reason is that where the en-
tire ground is cultivated the trees
grow a great deal quicker and better
and as cultivating takes so much labor,
the sooner the trees shade the ground
the less labor is required. AS the trees
set larger the grove can be thinned out
by tapping every other tree to death
and removing them. This is consider
ed practicable with the Ceara variety,

The HAYWOOD Verdict.

As one outcome OF the Haywood trial
we hope to hear less sociallstic denuncia-
ton of the courts and the Constitution
as the bulwarl1s of capitalism and the
agents OF popular oppression. Mr.. OAR
row, himself a socialist, bitterly arraigned
the Constitution and the laws of the coun-
try during his impassioned plea to the
jury, and yet under the laws and COnsti-
tuition so condemned Haywood has been
acquitted; by means of the law and the
Constitution his rights to a fair and inn
partial hearing of the charges against
him were secured, and by them he Is for
ever exempt from further prosecution on
account Of those charges. The verdict
of his peers was precisely the same as
that reached by a seif-eonstituted jury Of
his fellow-socialists.
1t is improbable that under the law and
the evidence any other conclusion could
have been reached. The Idaho statutes
are not favorable to convictions on con-
spiracy charges. and. in any event. such
charges are VIGOROUSLY difficult 10 prove
by means of evidence acceptable in
court Of justice. The jury doubtless
thought that If anybody should be pun
ished for the murder Of Steunenberg. Or
shaTd should suffer He actually com
mitted the crlme-that is certain; but that
Haywood or any other Western Fedora
ton leader had guilty knowledge OF 1t,
in the view of the jury. remains IN
proven. Such opinions on that head as
were held by partisans on either side be-
fore and during the progress of the trial
are not likely TO be altered by the yer
dict.
There is no adequate reason for the
assumption that either labor" or social
ism was In Issue. or that either was vim
dicated. Haywood alone was on trial, and
the verdict simply means that legal evil
dence could not be found sufficient to
convince a jury that he was guilty OF
cOnspiring 70 murder Steunenberg.

of becoming involved in petty snarls with

and felt-possibly with some reason-that
the service he rendered his country had
gone without the deserved reward. Having
entered the army from civil life, he
nursed the conviction, common to his
class that he was the victim Of prejudice
on the part Of officers who went through

II we could suppose that the japanese

consideration Of the cost and Of the

Of Japan is something over a billion

revenues have largely increased, the IN
terest charges are burdensome. Last

now that IS per cent of these bonds are

not to any special weakness Of Japanese
