Times-The cutting down of the limo

Deautlful and decorative plants of the
tropics, aside from its value as a fruit
tree, is nothing short of vandalism.
We contend that it is not the banana
plant itself which attracts the mos
quito but the swamp, marsh, or stag
nant water in or by which the plant
generally grows. The fact that the
learned entomologists and other in.
sectean savants of Honolulu have
found larvae of the culicid dipterous
insects called mosquitoes in the ba.
mana plants proves nothing. We dare
say they might have been found in
any other tree growing in the same
spot.
