He's not a man, but a bed liar.
To raise the fruit, or raise the

my son; and work like hell and
save like sin, and bank your every
piece of tin. You'll have to smudge
the frost away, which comes at any
time of day to spoil your biz and
ruin your work, and freeze the skin
beneath your shirt.

IL is gratifying to note by the press

greeted by crowded houses at each

And this will doubtless be the
case in Delta next week.

IMPORTATION OF BANANAS
INTO THE UNITED STATES


Four thousand million bananas We're
imported into the United States if
the calendar year 1910 The banana
habit is a growing one in the United
States. In the early eighties the val
lie of bananas imported, according to
the figures of the Bureau of Stats
tics of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor, rainged between one and
two million dollars per annum; by
1890 the value had increased to Az
million dollars, in the fiscal year of
1900 to nearly 6 million dollars; and
in the calendar year 1910, to practic-
ally 1919 million dollars Tie rapid
growth in this class of importations
led the Bureau of Statistics a few
years ego to call upon collectors of
customs for the quantity as We'll as
the value imported, and the figures
of quantities Begin ing with the year
| 1908, showed for that year 35A mil
lion punches; in 1909, 391a million
and in 1910. a little over 40 million
lunches were imported. Assuming
that these average 100 bananas to the
bunch. figure which the importers
state to be a conservative estimate,
the total number imported in 1910
would aggregate approximately 4,0o0
million bananas.
The value of the banahas imported
in the last decade aggregates III
round terms 100 million dollars. III
the calendar year 1901 the total val
ne of bananas imported was ga mil
lion dollars; in 1905, 9A million; in
1907, ia million; and in 1910, 12b
million. These figures of the values
of bananas imported are the valua-
ton ait wholesale prices in the coun
tries from which exported to the Uni
tou SIdIeS, ddHu Jne average price
per bunch was 81 cents as will be
readily seen by dividing the 40,192,9 90
