Argument in favor of an American origin as
stated by De Candolle. is as follows: The trade
winds of the Pacific, to the south and yet more
to the north of the equator. drive floating bodies
from America to Asia, direction contrary to
that OF the general currents. 1t is known
over. from the unexpected arrival of bottles
tanning papers different coasts that chance
has much to do with these transports.
His arguments contrary to American origin
OF the cocoanut palm and In favor of an Asatc
as follows:
First--A current between the third and fifth
parallel north latitude. flows from the islands
of the Indian archipelago to the Gulf of Panama
To the north and south of this currents
which take the opposite direction but they orig
nate In regions too cold for the cocoanut, and
do not touch Central America. where 1t is sup
posed to have been long Indigenous.
Second.-The inhabitants of Asiatic islands
were far holder navigators than the American
Indians. 1t is very possible that from
the Asiatic islands. containing provisions of
nuts. were carried by storms or false maneuvers
to the islands of the west coast Of America; the
contrary is highly improbable
Third.-The area for three centuries has been
much vaster in Asia than In America, and the
difference yet more considerable before that
epoch for 1t is known that the cocoanut has not
long existed In the east of tropical America.
Fourth--The inhabitants of the islands of Asia
possess immense number of varieties Of the
palm, which indicates very ancient cultivation
Blume enumerates eighteen varieties in Java and
adjacent islands. and thirtynne in the Philippines
Nothing of similar nature has been observed
in the Americas.
Fifth-The uses of the cocoanut
varied and more habitual In Asia.
Sixth.--It is not probable that the ancient Mex
cans and Inhabitants OF Central America would
have neglected to spread the cocoanut In several
directions had II existed among them from
very remote epoch The little breadth of the
Isthums OF Panama would have facilitated Its
transportation from one coast to the other and
the species would have been established In

De Caudolle, In Origin of Guilt
waited Plants" does not consider the
cocoanut palm native of the western
hemisphere, but places its original
habitat In the Eastern archipelago,
somewhere in the neighborhood OF
Sumatra and Java, and surmises that
nuts fioated thence both east and
west; eastward to the islands OF the
Pacific and the coast of Central Amer
lea, and westward to Ceylon and the
east coast of Africa. He places its In
PRODUCTION into Brazil, Venezuela and
the West Indies by missionaries about
three centuries ago. De Martius says
that the Portuguese introduced 1t on
tho coast Of Guiana about the same
time. The navigators Dampier and
Vancouver found 1t at the beginning
of the seventeenth century In groves
on the islands of Panama bay, as
well as on Cocos island, 900 miles off
the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. At
that time these islands were unin-
habited. Later the cocoanut palm is
reported on the west coast from Mex
leo to Ecuador. and Seeman reported
having seen the palm both wild and
cultivated on the lsthmus of Panama.
In 1926 Oviedo wrote that the cocoa
nut palm was abundant on the Pa

A MILLION FOR MOSQUITOES

The suggestion that through the
expenditure of a capital sum of 81
900. 900 and a comparatively small sum
yearly thereafter for maintenance OF
works New York might be freed and
kept free from mosquitoes is not to
be lightly dismissed as visionary or
fantastic. or as indicating something
which indeed might be accomplished,
but which would not be worth while.
OF the practicability of exterminating
the insects there can be no serious
question. The thing has been done
elsewhere under circumstances much

Dear Sir:
You are hereby notified that the du-
iplicate assessment list for all expenses
for the ensuing year ending the 31st
lday of October. 1912. has been placed
| in my hands 10 collection. This as
SeSslnent includes the second and final
assessment of 1925 an acre for build
ing power plants and canals. under the
aut 7orization of the specia. election of
July 21st.. 1910, also Is cents for adj
miEistration building and current eX-
pcnses. making total of $40 an acre.
The amount assessed against your land
is .one-half of which is
TOW due and payable. the balance will
hc due and payable on the first Mon
LAY in May. 1912. the whole becoming
delinquent the first of June. 1912.

instaNment or both the first and sec
ond installments at his option, at any
time before the second installment IF
the annual assessment shall be due.
Franklin u. Lane, Treasurer. S. r. v.
w. L. Assn.
to the order 90 the Association.
What confuses the people most seems
To be the number of payments. This
notice announces that the present call
is for the second and final of two spe-
Cial annual assessments of 1925 per
acre, per year. together with the an
lual assessment Of l. cents per acre
for administrative charges The fact
that the bylaws of the association
provide that if a member so desires
he can pay his annual assessment in
two installments. does not pile up as
sessments on him. He can elect wheth-
er he will pay $40 per acre once a,
year or S1.2O DER acre twice year.
The fact remains that there were just
two of these special assessments. One
was paid last year. or the lands as
sessed are now delinquent The other
is now called for. Because a man split
his last years assessment into two
payments. he should not now figure
that he is being called upon for a third
assessment. He is now asked To pay
the first half of his second assessment
or all of It il he CHOICES 70. For those
who have split assessments both years
this is the third payment to be made
out of a total OF four. but there have
been only two assessments. II isl
merely a confusion of terms.
