Ripe bananas, grown in the Oregon agricultural college greenhouse, were exhibited on the streets of Corvallis by Secretary Yates last week. The fruit is supposed to be the first of the sort ever grown in Oregon, and was as toothsome as bananas raised in the tropics. Banana trees have been kept in the college greenhouse for several years, but they had never before borne fruit, and the cause for the present production is supposed to be that the trees, which have hitherto been potted, were planted in mother earth last year.
