IMMUNITY OF CHINESE
BANANAS EXPLAINED

Immunity of the Chinese bananas
from infection by the Mediterranean
fruit fly is explained in an article by
DR.. E. A. Back and G. E. Pemberton
in the May number Of the Journal OF
Agricultural Research
1t declares that the immunity is
due TO the fact that neither the egg
nor the newly Matched larvae OF the
fruit fly can survive in the tannin
laden peel Of green, tough mature
fruit. In fact the copious and sudden
flow of sap from egg-punctures made
by the fruit fly in unripc bananas
renders the successful deposition OF
eggs in such fruits difficult and rare. "

Neither war with Mexico, should 1t

adyices received from New York and
Washington. .~.=... F. -.
A welI-known local brokerage house

and political affairs of the country for
advice on the probable effect OF war
between this country and Mexico and
possible effects of the November cleo.
tons on sugar prices. The cables re

The coming elections should not
have any effect whatever on the sugar

more important and the question Of
demand and supply Is controlling the
market and consequent prices. At the

affected by q falling off in the demand
for refined sugar. Even so, the cable
states, the price for raw sugar was
