BANANA INDUSTRY IMPORTANT
SOURCE OF REVENUE

IT is surprising to see how much the
natives in the hills have taken to plant
ing the China variety of banana. In
Southern Manchester all the gardens and
grounds" as the jam patch" is called
are planted through with the hardy
dwarf variety; it is said to grow better in
dry districts than the Jamaica banana Of
commerce This variety of banana is
not easily destroyed by breeze. So there
are hopes that when we can succeed in
shipping them advantageousIy, they may
in the future be the banana of com
merce." The banana industry still holds
its own despite the low prices which still
reign in the Islands, and it is said that
the anticipated surplus of E35, 900 has
very largely come from bananas, Ibid.

House is a large, clumsy looking brick
building with a p%ortico, the stucco of
which has suffered by weather, and it
can advance no p~tetensious to architectu-
raj beauty" Still, in the days of long
ago it housed roany of Jamaica's gov
ernors, and was IT," .ene of manf a
brilliant function when Spanish Town
was the capital of our little island. The
building is supposed to have cost &22, 600.
