most important requisite of any
sports writer is an unSelfiSh willing
ness to stick his nose in other <
peoples business at any time. so
today l will heed a personal call -
duty by oeiivering heavy lecture
on light subject-night baseball.
The sermon is directed toward
that wild : eyed group of radicals
known as major league club owners,
and its brief theme is this:
Take tip from the elephant,
comrades, and start Sharpening
your memories, which are shortc"
than most Of US will find ourselves
on income tax day. Otherwise, don't
complain II you are ordered to board
up the windows, give the gate keep
er the gate and call it quits fer
the duration.
In celebrating this theme, let.
go back a few days. On Jan. 16
these club owners went off on
SpasmS of JOY when the president
OF the United States announced he
was agreeable to a business as usual

find that the banana has an i'm
portant role in infant feeding. One
medium-size ripe banana contains
% international units of thiamine
and a fair amount Of vitamin G,
which is important in baby's diet.
To the expert in food economics,
the banana is fruit that is highly
important and is of such profuse
growth that 1t even excels wheat
in the amount of food produced to
the acre. To the botanist it is an
amazingly large plant without 4
wood stem. To the average con-
sumner, it is fruit that, at present,
is greatly missed.
Bananas, as food, 60 back many
centuries in the civilization Of the
Eastern Hemisphere. Some records
show this fruit was introduced into
the New World when the Spanish
were ruling or about the first century
after the discovery OF America by
Columbus. Other records assert it
was already known to tropical
America centuries earlier.
There are many fascinating leg
ends about the banana and the
names Of the several varieties. In
ancient India, the banana we know
is said to represent the fruit of
knowledge" while another type is
supposed to be the fruit OF Para
disc of the Garden Of Eden"
Cultivation Of the banana has be-
come the foundation of 4 vast in
dustry. giving employment to many
thousands. 1t is now grown in a
belt which almost encircles the
earth.
The growth of the banana is from
the center Of the mass Of leaf
sheaths, and the collection of leaf
sheaths tightly folded into form
which resembles Q trunk has given
rise to many referring to the plant
as a tree, which it is not.
The banana begins life from 4
rootstock with eyes, just like the
white potato. This growth is very
rapid; the first leaves are closely
inter-wrapped and grow skyward to
needle point. The stalk soon
reaches several feet because Of the
appearance Of new leaves, and under
good conditions the trunklike mass
of leaf sheaths will reach as high
as 40 feet. The top of the plant
has closely rolled leaves that develop
into fronds which may be 10 feet
or more in length. Then there is the
flower bud growing from the central
stem which has worked its way
through the trunk" to the top. The
flower bud has a husk which finally
drops to earth, leaving the tiny
bananas. They are in the form of
small fingers outstretched and
known later As 4 hand" OF bananas.
The fruit curves upward: we are
familiar with the bunch upside
down.
A plant produces one bunch OF
fruit. New shoots will spring from
the root-bulb, and another plant viii
take the place OF the old one. Thus
is used the same spot year after
year; even II the plant does take 4
year to Is months for its complete
history. new growth have already
| begun to take its place.
