Panama's largest and most profitable
crop would be bananas. The eastern
coast OF Panama alone could raise
enough TO supply four bananas daily
to every man, woman and child in the
United States. IL costs only $40 an
acre TO clear, plant and cultivate a
banana plantation the first year. and
$40 an acre for several succeeding
years. One acre yields about 200
punches OF the fruit.

Corn and bananas may be planted in
the same field in November There
would be roasting ears in March and
bananas In June. As soon as the latter
are harvested, potatoes may be planted
fer harvesting In September. Onions
planted after the potatoes were out
would be ready by the end OF November
The total output for that year would
then be 10000 pounds OF bananas, 1900
pounds OF corn. 5000 pounds OF potatoes
