reveal a nutritious flesh-
colored pulp. Considered, ef
later years, the commonest
of fruit, the bananas rarity
makes it once more an un-
usual delicacy.
Most authorities on the
matter agree that the ba-
nana is not a native of the
western hemisphere. Al-
though the plant most prob-
ably originated in Asia, it
thrives in tropical America,
to which it was brought in
1516 from the Canaries by a
Spanish missionary priest.
It has become one of the
principle products of the
tropical countries of our con-
tinent, as important to their
inhnhitiintji ns <rrnin nlnntit
are to those living jn coo's:*
regions. The banana tree,
a perennial gigantic herba-
ceous plant, has a most sin-
gular appearance with its
slender stem, its toppet of
large green leaves — often
man size — and its dense
clusters of tight - packed
fruit. Of these there are
more than thirty varieties
that may be roughly divided
into bananas, those that are
eaten raw, and plantains, a
larger variety that requires
cooking. No other class of
tropical fruit is more widely
known than the banana, with
only the cocoanut ranking
higher as far as economic
value is concerned. Yet the
days when bananas were
wrapped in cotton and sold
for large sums as a rare deli-
cacy, in cold and temperate
climates, are not so very far
back. Only since the end of
the nineteenth century has
the culture of bananas been
greatly expanded in the
West Indies, Central Amer-
ica, Mexico and Colombia,
principally by a well-known
fruit company which assured
the highly perishable pro-
duct a proper handling and a
well organized transporta-
tion service. Bahana bunches
were loaded on specially con-
structed ships, heated in
winter and refrigerated in
summer, and upon arrival
at the port of destination
they were put on the market
without delay.
Before the war, the value
of bananas shipped from
tropical American countries
to the United States and Eu-
rope used to be about $50,-
000,000 yearly, but today
wartime lack of shipping
has severely restricted the
banana trade, and expedients
have been and are being
adopted to bring temporary
relief to the banana growers
of the western hemisphere.
Particularly affected have
been the leading Caribbean
exporters of bananas* Ja-
maica, Honduras, Costa Rica
and Nicaragua who count
bananas among their three
principal exports.
The fact that the banana
is rich in protein and thus
has proved to be an excellent
substitute for meats and
fats, makes the scarcity of
bananas at a time when they
could have been an excellent
source of ration-less pro-
teins, all the more deplor*
able. ‘‘It is, of course, wide-
ly used as a basic food in
certain childhood diseases
and ciliac disorders and hos-
pitals and people afflicted
with such disorders have
been placed in the priority
list for distribution of the
banana imports in this coun-
try.”
During World War I, when
a somewhat similar trans-
portation problem produced
a drastic curtailing of lh«
banana trade, most banana
plantations just stopped cul-
tivation and had no crops
available when the situation
returned to normal. With
•uch an experience in mind,
rjm of today
In the shadow of huge pilot
ot green bunches that will
never be shipped, banana
growers of America are go-
ing on with their work, keep-
ing it up gallantly, so that
one day, when world condi-
tions are back to normal,
they may be able to supply
the market with that deli-
cious product of their soil:
the banana.
Onions Available
on Local Markets
Generous quantities of
good quality f ’ ®sh onions
are available to housewives
in local markets.
Coming from early pro-
ducing areas of Texas, the
onions need to be consumed
as rapidly as possible to
avoid any food waste, ac-
cording to F. W. Underwood,
district director, who is ask-
ing Fannin county house-
wives to buy and use them
generously while they are
plentiful.
Farmers are harvesting a
bumper crop of early varie-
ties, principally bermuda and
crystal white wax, sending
to market through first of
May about 6,640 carloads
compared with 3,512 for the
same period last year. Many
more carloads, still are being
harvested, Underwood said.
These early varieties do
not have long keeping quali-
ties and must move consis-
tently from vegetable bins to
tables in order to prevent
food waste. By buying gen-
erously and often, house-
wives can move large sup-
plies, making room for the
remainder of the crop being
harvested by farmers now,
he said.
