The question of hananas galm‘d‘ considerable publicity. When people cat hananas, it is held, they eat less oranges, apples and ether fruit. Bananas are grown in tropical coun- tries and are regarded as competitive products with home agriculture. To be patriotic Amcricans, say the agri- culturists, we should not eat banana: The importation of tea and coffee would come under the same claasifi- 1n’||ion. If we dispensed with these tropical products and drank more orangeage, lemonade and such like, think how American fruit growers would be benefited. The plan goes further. There is the importation of jute. This product | competes with the cotton growers. Why not bar jute, they ask? Somehow we do not see much justice in the scheme.
