MOSQUITO CAN Be
ELIMINATED HERE,
SMITH DECLARES
State ~EntOmOgolist, in Annual
Report, Tells of Methods
Employed.

TRENTON, Dec. 24.-Progress made
during the past year in the crusade to
fid New Jersey of the mosquito pest is
outlined in the annual report of State
Entomologist John B. Smith, which,,
together with thai of other depart
ments of the Agricultural Experiment
Station. has been submitted to Gov
problem, Professor Smith says thai the
season of 1908 was an abnormal one
and greatly favored the breeding of
mosquitoes owing to heavy rains in the
spring and the hot summer following.
Unusual high tides during the season
also filled the marshes time and time
again and left the s~tagnant pools as
breeding places for the little insects
which are SO troublesome.
Professor Smith says: while all
these conditions. resulting in a mos
quito year which might be considered
unfortunate from one point of view,
yet as it was probably the worst that
is ever likely to happen, it taught US
a great deal about breeding places that
will be useful in future work"
The total appropriation hat was
available for the year for draining
marshes was $40, 900, Of which SIS, ass
was expended, leaving a balance of
s4,542. The marsh drained was 1880
acres, and 2,S94,17 feet of bitches were
built to keep stagnant water from col
lecting and providing breeding places
for the mosquitoes. These figures ove
more than the work of the year previ-
Gus, and the total cost of the work to
date has been 1914, 1858.
E.. Professor Smith cites the work on the
Jersey City marshes to prove that the
mosquito may be driven from this
State permanently. He shows that the
work done there last year was success
full, so that the past summer there were
no breeding places. The report says
also that good work was done the past
year at Newark. with the result that
there were fewer mosquitoes there last
summer than ever before.

REUTERDAHL SEES
COL. THOMPSON
IN TAFT CABINET
Naval Expert, Close to Presi-
dent-elect, Prophesies Appoint
ment of Jersey Man.
SAYS HE Is WELL
FITTED FOR PLACE
Endorsement from Republicans
of This State Would Secure
Plum for Him, II Is Said.

What in New Jersey Is considered an
inspired statements statement in
spired by the White House and Presl-
dent-elect Taft, and, therefore, %portend-
ing the future-appears today in many
newspapers throughout the country,
and issued by Henry Reuterdahl, the
famous naval expert, naval adviser to
President Roosevelt and close personal
friend of Mr.. Taft. The statement in
Mr.. Reuterdahrs language reads;
1T is understood thai Colonel Robert
NJ. Thompson, an Annapolis graduate,
is to be selected as Secretary by Mr..
Taft. Should that be so the navy viii.
indeed be headed by a man who knows
his business and who is not an ami
mated rubber stamp"
Colonel Thompson claims Bayonne
for his home and New Jersey as his
voting residence.
scouts Were Not Encouraged.
only two weeks ago the Naval
League. a powerful body, whose OBJ
ject is the betterment Of the United
States Navy, sent representatives into
New Jersey to see what the prospects
were for q Republican Endorsement of
Colonel Thompson for the naval port
folio. They met little encouragement.
A few days later it was announced
that the Congressional delegation from
this State had Endorsed former Gov
ernor and State Chairman Franklin
Murphy for a Cabinet position. 1t is
not likely that two cabinet positions
will conn to New Jersey.
Representatives of the Naval League
claimed to have information hat Mr..
Taft himself had selected Colonel
Thompson for his Secretary of the
Navy, and wanted some Endorsement as
an excuse for making an appointment.
1t was this Endorsement which the
Naval League sought, as it highly APP
proves Colonel Thompson,
Mr.. Reuterdahl issued a statement
yesterday in reply to remarks concern
ing ex-Secretary of the Navy Long, in
which he sought to prove that Long
was without experience and was a rub
ber-stamp in the Navy Department,
and that President Roosevelt, as assist
ant secretary of the navy, was the
leading spirit in the Navy Department
before the Spanish War.
The Straw which shows.
At the bottom of his statement, and,
seemingly having no connection with
1t, is the inspired statement concerning
Colonel Thompson. Those who a
been watching the trend of events, who
realize the very close relations exist
ing between Mr.. Reuterdahl and the
President-elect. and who have an in
side knowledge of what is going on,
nrofasc to beieUe that the Reuterdahl
statement is an advance notice that
Colonel Thompson will be selected as
Secretary of the Navy.
This. of course, would blast the hopes
of State Chairman Murphy's friends,
that he would be appointed to the Taft
Cabinet.

SUCCESS WITH BEES
What w. L. Porter Did here
With Honey Makers.

A recent issue Of the Denver Post
has the following story about an OLD
Greeley man, now residing in Den
yer:
When W. l.. Porter was bare
foot boy back in his home town,
Adrian, Mich, he was the envy of all
the village lads because he WASH t
afraid of bees. II any Of the yonth.
fui inhabitants unearthed humble
bees nest the first thing on the pro-
gram was to chase over to the Porter
place and get Bill. Under his
leadership they later got the honey.
This fearleSsnesS on the part OF the
Porter boy came OF the fact that his
father raised bees. Not in apart
ment -house-like hives of the modern
day type, but in hollow logs they
called bee gums.
Being an observing youth, Will
lie" saw things his father had over
looked in the bee industry. And be-
ing of an inquiring mind he set
about learning why some flowers
were better pasturing for bees than
others His interest grew with his
years, and after lie had completed
the common school course at Adrian
he took up bee culture at the Michi-
gan agricultural college.
In hrothor ,uas IironatI hy
physicians to go to Colorado. The
bee raising Porter boy accompanied
the invalid. He remained here a
few months and then returned home.
During his stay in Colorado he made
a study of the native flowers grown
here and figured out that this state
would afford the best field in Amer.
lea for the honey industry. So he
Grated up twenty-five hives and
started for Greeley, Colo, IN 1880.
OF the twenty-five hives, only
nine came through intact. but he
did very we'll for a starter and
learned that the wintering problem
that had proved such serious propo-
sition in Michigan and Wisconsin
was trifiing matter in this pro-
tected region. Back home'' the |
bees had to be kept in cellars or
caves during the cold month At
Greeley they renamed out all |
winter. And the honey far ex-
celled the Michigan brand in quail
ity and quantity.
W. L. Porter removed with his |
family to Denver In 1890. Three
children had been born and his bees
had worked to such good purpose
that he was we'll able to change his
abode to an educational center.
Then. too, the flowers we're Just as
abundant on the outskirts of the state
capital as elsewhere. And, better
yet, alfalfa had become staple pro-
duct in the vicinity of Denver, and
study of that plant had convinced
Mr.. Potter that it would produce
honey unequaled by any other flower
in the world. The proof of the
honey, like that of the pudding. is
in the eating, and alfalfa honey
proved its own worth in the first
harvest.
Mr.. Porter lives in modern seven
room brick house at 1922 Alcott
street, Denver.
