Agricultural PosslbipLities 
It has already been pointed out under tho subject of soil 
and also under climate and rainfall that the area along tho Bayano 
river in not ile;-l for agricultural. crops, While bananas could bo 
grown hero very satisfactorily, it is quite evident that they could 
sot be plac oft on the market in competition with thdse grown on tho 
east coast whore every condition is far more favorable . Steamers 
would not pass through the canal for bananas, and to bring thorn by 
other moons to Cristobal for loading would entail too much handling 
charges . fhere arc however, a good many other reasons i?hy a banana 
plantation would not pay on tho Bayaho river. For is the writer 
of tho opinion that cone could be grown at a profit hero at this 
time. It is not believed that the timber obtained by clearing the 
land would be sufficient valuable to pay for the cutting of the 
brush, burning it and planting the cane. 
fhe writer is of the opinion that it would be highly in- 
adviseablo for the company to make another venture on the tract, 
which '’oo.ld involve the outlay of much additional capital. It must 
bo borne in mind that the information disseminated by promoters and 
would be exports in regard to the agricultural possibilities; here 
arid in regard to the Contarl American forests resources, their ac- 
cee sibilt tg; \yc ?. tnesv , richness, and wealth in fine and inexhaust¬ 
ible supply of timber has been greatly exaggerated and has already 
led to many investments and to the formation of innumerable enter¬ 
prises among which the first one has yet to prove successful. 
Conclusions 
1. fhe region in which the tract is located ie not easily 
accessible .
