banana leaves the fruit is safely brought to the
railroads.
Bananas grown for the market are planted.
as a rule. on the border Of navigable waters
Plantations are divided into sections or zones
of about ten to twenty miles in length, and the
zones are "cut" in rotation, thereby cleaning up
the available supply of fruit in one or several
sections while it is maturing in others.
In Costa RIGA the system which has been
evolved for handling the fruit from the time II
is cut from the plant until 1t is placed on the
dealers little stand iii the far interior cities OF
the United States is indeed marvellous.
When a steamer starts from United States
port to secure it's cargo cable is sent ADVISING
of the departure, so that preparations can be
made for cutting the crop The carrying ca
pacity of the vessel is known almost to bunch.
Each plantation manager furnishes at the be-
ginning of the week estimate Of the amount
of fruit he cut and one, two, or three Sec
tions may be called upon, according to the size
of the ship and the quantity OF fruit available
in each section. About thirty-six hours preVi-
Gus to the expected arrival of the steamship or
ders are sent to the plantations, notifying
them to cut fruit for delivery specific date.
The day before the steamer is due trains are
made up and sent out to pick up the fruit, these
trains being so timed that steamers VIII not De
delayed waiting for cargo.
On the morning of the cutting, the plantation
is all astir. First out are the CUTTERS, who
go up and down the long avenues OF banana
plants, closely inspecting each hanging bunch.
In cutting the fruit long lances are used, palm
poles armed with broad steel blades. The stalk
of the tall plant is half severed at point about
eight feet above the ground. The weight Of the
fruit causes the top of the plant to bend slowly
to the earth where the bunch is cut from the
stem by a stroke of the machete. Following
the cutters come the picking-up gangs, who de-
liver the fruit at the receiving platforms along
the railroad track An inspector watches the
fruit as it is passed into the cars. He counts
and grades each bunch, rejecting those that
show signs of ripening and those that are un-
dersized or bruised.
After cargoes are discharged In the United
States, solid trains Of banana cars run as spe-
Gals" every day in the week from New YORK,
Baltimore and New Orleans to all of the large
cities of the country. Carloads are even shipped
to Calgary Canada, over 1000 miles from New
Orleans
The front yentilators of the forward cars OF
these trains and the rear ventilators OF the
last cars, are connected by means Of canvas
tubes run into a main trunk chute. A powerful
exhaust draws off the heat thrown out by the
fruit in it's ripening process, and the fans cir
culate cold air through every car in the train
During the winter months the operation is re.
versed and fruit in transit during very cold
weather is warmed while proceeding to iu
destination

account of their resemblance to those mem
bers when held in certain position
The banana has a curious and prod1gal meth
cd of propagation, for before the parent stalk
and fruit have matured new ones spring up.
These are offshoots that grow from the root OF
the original planting resembling sprouts from
the "eyes" of a potato, and each in turn De
comes a parent stalk with it's fruit. 1t follows
that unless most Of the continually appearing
new PLANTS are cut out (Which is the practlceJ
the first stalk in few years will become the
center of miniature Jungle The plants grow
to a height of from fifteen to thirty-ive feet,
spreading in all directions, until the soil is
overburdened with an enormous mass of stalk
and leaf growth, and stunted fruit is produced.
In planting for the market about 200 hills are
allowed to the acre. Sometimes the number
can be safely increased to 225, in which case
there will be 500 stalks. However after one
year all of these stalks do not produce mar
ketable bunch of bananas, and the average
yield is not over 500 full punches to the acre
per annum.
Perry. the well-known authority on bananas,
estimates that a grower can produce a bunch
for from ten to fifteen cents, which VIII have
q market value of 80 cents The cost of pro-
ducing after the first crop is confined to cult
waiting and harvesting which may be done for
