Traveling Around America LOADING FINGERS AND HANDS 'T'HEKE longshoremen, believe it *■ or not, are loading thousands of fingers and hands Into the holds of a Grace Line ship in Guayaquil, Ecuador. We’re speaking of ba nanas, of course, in the trade— bunches of bananas are known as stems. Each bunch Is made up of "hands" or clusters, having ten to twenty "fingers," as the Individual bananas are called. Only those with six or mor* “hands” usually are considered marketable, and they fall Into classes known as sixes, sevens, eights and nines, though many times bunches con tain more than nine hands. The handling of the “stems” is of the utmost importance tor when the fruit is harvested it is still alive —drawing nourishment from the stock, with sap still flowing and tissues changing as the ripening process continues. Close timing is observed all along the way from the picking ef the fruit to its de livery to the far-away neighbor hood store. With correct timing the fruit does not reach the port for loading until the ship is ready to receive It. If the banana trains or trucks or barges do not proceed direct to the dock, long chains ot natives pass the “stems” rapidly to the ship. The bunches are quickly but thoroughly inspected again, then placed on conveyor belts which carry them to the holds where ex perienced laborers receive them, carefully stow them In the bins to which each class belongs—with foremen overseeing the work and counting the bunches in each class. The “stems" usually are placed in three tiers—two standing and one flat, or vice versa, so that the air can circulate between them. As soon as the hatches are battened down the temperature Is reduced as quickly as possible, by refrigera tion, to 67*F., a temperature which Is maintained throughout the voy age. The holds also are well ven tilated for vitiated air is quite as harmful to the banana In transit as heat and humidity After the fruit is all tucked away stowage plans are drawn up showing the location and quantity of the various classes, so that no time need be lost In speeding the bananas to their final destination when they reach the end of the voyage.
