BANANAS TO Be USED
FOR MAKING ALCOHOL

The development of an industry close.
ly related to the banana trade and
about to receive an impetus from Amer
tcan interests is reported by Consul T.
NJ. LawtOn at Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
who is quoted in Drug and Chemical
Markets, Of New York. Says this pa.
per:
Bananas suitable for export must
always be a certain size or number Of
hands. The rejection of smaller
punches by the fruit companies has al.
ways been a source of complaint and
also of loss to the planters. It is now
proposed to use them in the manufac.
ture of alcohol. By executive order,
the President of Honduras has signed a
contract by which an American of long
experience in the fruit business in the
tropics, representing company of
American capitalists, is granted the
right to erect a distillery at San Ped 70
Sula, Honduras.
The cOncessionaire has deposited
$4,000 with the government as an earn.
est of good faith, which is to be cred
tied towards export duties on the aleo
hOl at three cents gold per gallon. He
will also pay 1000 pesos annually
(about two thousand dOllars) for sala-
ries of government inspectors, as dis
tillation of spirits is a government mo-
noPOly. He agrees to take all the ba
nanas offered up to 100000 punches
monthly at a fixed price of thirty cents
gold per hundredweight.
The cOncessionarie must begin distiIl
ing within one year from the date of
congressional appreciation of the con
eesSi0n. This new ind ustry will be a
valuable stimulus for the northern see
ton of Honduras
The Department of FomentO of the
Honduras government has also approved
the company's application for the right
to build sugar mill and a paper mill
near the distilery, The company pro-
poses to supply planters with funds for
planting sugar cane on the WORKOUT ba J.
mana lands. and will also distill from
the cane the bagasse, which is to be
used in the manufacture of paper. Elk.
