and money could accomplish the
job.
The land in this locality is eX-
ceedingly fertile. The rainfall
is annually about IL feet, the jun
gle being so dense that one could
not make headway through it
without chopping the way.
The land is obtained from the
Panama government by paying
fifty cents per hectre, they use
the term hectre instead Of acre, a
hectre being about two and a
half acres; and in addition to
paying fifty cents they must
make certain improvements in
order to obtain title from the gov
ernment.
Bananas are planted in the
jungles about 20 feet apart each
way and then the Jungle is
chopped down by the black men,
who use a long knife called a
"Machette'. The cost of plant
ing the bananas and the first cut
ting of the jungle or under
growth, is $40 in silver which is
equal to $40 in our money. The
underground is cut three times
a year at a cost Of $l2 silver each
time, so that it apparently costs
about &C.. SO Of our money to ac-
quire the land, plant the ba-
nanas and care for them the first

year the bananas begin to bear.
A banana stalks life is the pro.
duction of one bunch of bananas,
which takes about year from
the time it is planted; it is ther

branches and each branch pro

were told that one hectre an

ground, and on account of the
