The war against mosquitoes In
Greater New York and Jersey has
proved an eye-opening, heartfelt, sur.
prising success. There are places in
Greater New York where three years
ago herd Of cattle would stampede
In terror from mosquitoes. where
cows had to be MIXED In cloud OF
damp, burning straw, where the pests
would settle and form gray film over
the stomachs OF poor old horses
where these pests were SO thick as ia
trouble hunter seeing the sights
along his gun barrel. Today in some
OF those very same places there are
not only few, but no mosquitoes, a
blessing In comfort and real estate
values that is simply unspeakable.-
