BANANAS
MAY BE GROWN IN ICELAND! Banana plantations in Iceland seem paradoxical, but scientists declare that bananas can be grown there, owing to the island’s hot springs, states the Students’ Digest. The 700 springs rise from their volcanic source on the west of Iceland. For centuries the stream from the geysers has not been utilised, and if the necessary money can be found to bring this natural heat under control, banana groves could be cultivated. Already experiments have been made, and bananas have been grown on a small scale.
