Banana Growers ; each, property will require its own special manure in 

 the same manner that canes do. * 



" If you take nine hand bunches at a value of £9 per hundred as an 

 average price the year round, it would shew the difference between the 

 value of the crops, and deducting the cost of manure would shew the 

 value to the planter of applying same. There were 1 1 square chains 

 tried here, this at 14 ft. square would give about 250 trees as near as can 

 be in a field cultivation. I have spent about £150 in manures since try- 

 ing the Grovernment samples and believe I am getting near the correct 

 manures to use here. I shall at any time be glad to place any portion 

 of my fields at the disposal of the Department and will find all the labour 

 required."
