The Earth's Banana Belt.

The origin of the banana is given
as india, at the foot OF the Hima-
layas, where it has been cultivated
since remotest antiquity. It's origin
in the new world is as doubtful as
the origin of the American Indian.
Natural to Asia and Africa, where
more than twenty distinct species OF
the genius are known, it is said TO
have been brought first to America
from Spain, early in the sixteenth
century, and planted in the island OF
San Domingo, whence its spread was
rapid throughout the surrounding
islands and the mainlands. This has
never been automatically established,
however, says the National Geograph-
ic Magazine. and some authorities IN
clude the banana among the articles
that formed the base of the food sup
ply of the Incas and the Aztecs be-
fore the arrival of the Spaniards.
Certain 1t is that throughout the
whole of meridional America there is
a strong tradition that at least two
species of the plantain were cultlVa-
ted long before the coming or the
Europeans.
Furthermore, it is singular that IN
all the languages indigenous to the
region where the banana appears that
plant has a special name, not pro-
ceeding from the conquerors, as was
the case with the names of many
other plants, animals and various ar
ticles introduced into America after
it's discovery.
Grown over the entire extent of the
meridian of the earth, the fruit of the
banana today forms, in large part
the principal food of a majority OF
the peoples living under the tropical
zone. Several species and numerous
varieties of the plant appear through
out tropical America, but it is cult
waited for commercial purposes in
appreciate quantities only along
the Atlantic border, from South
ern Mexico to Colombia, in Jamaica
Cuba, San Domingo and the Ba'
hamas, the far Western markets o.

FARMERS FIND ADVANTAGE
In USING PARCEL POST

The introduction of the parcel post
system in this country has led to the
ablishment of the mail order BUSH
ness by farmers in many sections OF
the country. BY this means all sorts
OF agriculture product are shipped
direct to the consumer, who is thus
assured of getting practically fresh
goods, particularly butter and eggs.
In order to foster this new line OF
trade, many newspapers have estab-
lished new classification in their
advertising columns, under the head
of Buy by Parcel Post" and all
goods to be shipped by parcel post
are inserted under that classification.

Compressed Gas.

During the last ten years or so the
practise of transmitting compressed
gas from some central station to
small towns has grown rapidly. In
Illinois one plant now supplies sew
eral thousand customers, in Indiana
another has as many, in California
one plant has about 5000 customers.
and 1t is estimated that 120 miles of
piping will be required
The system has been developed to
compete with electricity. The mains
vary from two to six inches in di-
ameter. When the gas is delivered
the pressure must be reduced, and
this is effected by a local low-press-
ure distributing system or by service
governors connected with each meter.
