of that it captured the United States
senate.
Two hundred and sixty-seven Demo

That gives the Democrats clear ma

The indicated complexion of the new
senate is 81 Democrats and 43 Repub-

The capture of congress in poth
its branches was not the limit of the
triumphs of the Democrats. Thirty
nine states elected governors and in
those states thirty Democrats were
successful and eight Republicans and
one Progressive won-the last in
Washington.
Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri

But Champs ancient and honorable
foe, Uncle Joe Cannon, after thirty
eight years in the house, was defeated
by Frank T O'Hair.
Down to defeat with Uncle Joe Can

Connecticut district. Representative
Hill for eighteen years has been one
of the Republican tariff experts in the
house, and member of the ways and

BANANAS AND MOSQUITOES
ON PANAMA CANAL ZONE

Following is a statement, by high Of.
fetal authority, of the relation of bd.
nanas to mosquitoes on the Panama
Canal Zone
Ancon, December IA, 1911.
Colonel John l.. Phillips, Acting Chief
Sanitary officer, Ancon, Canal Zone:
Sir-In reply to your request for
comment on letter of Mr.. Elmer NJ. c.
of Honolulu, asking for data re banana
plants as affecting mosquitoes. the fol-
lowing data is respectfully submitted,
Banana plants are now permitted to
be grown IN limited quantities near
habitations and in villages in the
Canal Zone.
Between 1904 and 1907 they were
ordered removed in many locations in
the Canal Zone, and new planting was
discouraged so far as possible near
houses, at that time.
These plants in this locality do not
prove to be a serious producer of mos
quitoes, although a few species will
lay eggs in the cups of water that oc-
cur between the base of the leaf stalk
and the trunk. However, the trees il
placed close together prove to be an
excellent wind break and mosquitoes
in looking for shelter will collect and
often remain therein. Again, among
the laboring class it does not see N 10
be known that more and better ba-
nanas can be raised if the plants stand
singly or if only one sucker is allowed
to grow. Consequently, previous to
1904, it was customary for natives to
have clumps of banana trees, probably
eight or more plants, in a radius of a
.five-foot circle near the residence. In
place of putting garbage land contain
ers, such as cans, etc, which are
sources of stegomyia) into the garbage
cans, these people used to throw every
thing indiscriminately into the banana
bushes. Where such plants were close
to houses it was difficult to determine
which party was responsible for viola
ton of sanitary ordinances. Also, II
cost more to detect hidden water con
tanners there than the ispection of al
area covered with short grass woui'
cost. There was any amount of grounC
away from houses suitable for banan;
production and the natives would no
walk far to dispose of containers. II
fact, we find containers are not thrown
into tall vegetation or banana plants
located one hundred yards from
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-15

houses. A single banana plant near a
house here is generally not a source
of mosquitoes except certain woods
species, but a leaf that falls tu the
ground will hold rain water and be a
source of mosquito larvae for a consid-
cradle period unless properly luAc-
tured at the places where water col
lects. The leaves falling from the
plants and subsequently holding water,
plus the collecting of rubbish around
and under the plant, may become a
serious matter Then again the damp
ground and wind shade make a place
attractive to adult mosquitoes and may
harbor them to a considerable extent.
These points are more serious than
the actual production OF mosquitoes la
the plants themselves under conditions
that exist here. 1t should be stated,
however, that conditions here are en-
tirely different from what are encoun-
tered in Cuba, and the Honolulu prob
lem may be still different, Local OBJ
serVation, study and investigation are
absolutely essential.
The habits of stegomyia here differ
somewhat from those at New Orleans,
while the flight, habits and even spe-
cies of anopheles of the Canal Zone are
different from those that affect the ma.
laria sick rate in Cuba. Such points
must be investigated by the officers in
charge of the mosquito campaign who
have special training and knowledge
pertaining to these subjects. The gem
eral methods employed at Panama may
be applicable to Honolulu, but think
special cases, variation of local ma
ture and new problems may arise
which will have to be investigated and
suitable methods of procedure adopted
in order to eradicate the species that
are troublesome. 1t would be advis-
able for the government to employ
capable inspectors who have received
special training in mosquito erudica.
ton. The first cost would be higher,
but ultimate costs lower.
A systematic examination of banana
plants in one locality will have no
bearing on the effect of such planes in
another, and still less in a distant
country. The species that breed in ha.
mana plants in the Canal Zone may
not occur at all in other countries.
We used to find a hundred or more
larvae in one cluster of plants and
| then none at all in the one next to IT,.
| Weather and other conditions affect
the fertility of eggs, hence the num-
Der of females and future broods will
vary so that no two years may be
alike But the banana plant if in clus-
tiers always offers wind shade which
may and often does furnish a collect
ing place for anopheles and other mos
quitoes. Very respectfully,
J. A. LePRINCE,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
