THE JERSEY MOSQUITO.
War on Insect Pest Shows Excellent
Results.

Trenton. ~ T., Dec. THE days of
the Jersey mosquito are numbered.
And there are not many of them. even
at that, according to a report which
Governor Murphy is soon to receive
from State Entomologist Smith. Pro
fessor Smith has spent more than
three years Investigating and expert
menting With the Jersey mosquito
problem, and now believes that he has
secured information which will enable
him to rid the state of the insect pest
which has so long been a source of
annoyance and discomfort.
One importan point made in the re-
port is that the breeding places of the
insect are not widely scattered, as has
long been supposed. but are masSed.
50 that work in one locality will often
produce results for miles around. All
of the natural conditions that keep
down the mosquito population are
considered. The claim that
the dragon flies are valua BILE mosquito
checks is not highly rated. but it is ad-
mitted that there are other insect m
habitantS of the pools and marshes
that do much in killing off the pest.
1t is contended III the report that little
fish. commonly known as minnoWs. are
natures most effective check against
the mosquito hOrdeS.
In dealing with artificial methods OF
control il is shown how it is often
possible to take advantage Of the
limitations imposed by nature. The
ann should be to destroy mosquito
breeding places rather than the mos
ouitocs that breed in them. Dram
ing and filling of marshes are the chiet
of the permanent measures advocated
but there are others which are con-
sidered important when these are not
available or practical.
Nearly the entire Atlantic coast llne'
tho Delaware bay shore and long
e,retch of the Delaware river shore
have been surveyed. the mosquit"
breeding places have been located ana
tho measures necessary to clean them
out have been determined.
II is shown thatmuch progress mas
hean made and at little expense III
r,,stcring the mosquito problem ana
here is great promise that the day Is
not far distant when the state w De

II was a long way back to the house.
and he was afraid that if he went
hack after the hooks, the holes in the
ice would freeze up before he could
pat hack. and that he would have to
chop them out again.
While he was thinking what he could

pickerel jump out of one of the holes,
and grab at the red rag which he had
