CROP REPORT WORK
Thousands of Reporters Contrib
ute to Making of Estimates.
Most of Them Are Not Paid, Being
Ciassed as volunteer Correspond
ents," and Only Reward They
Get Is Receipt of Circulars.

Washington.-A0o 10000 report
ers contribute to the making Of the
government crop reports which are
issued monthly at Washington. Most
OF these reporters are not paid, but
are classed as voluntary correspond
ents," and the only reward they get.
aside from the satisfaction of doing
the work itself, is that they receive
the publications of the department
without having to write to ask for
them Nevertheless most of <hem
stick to the work. An inquiry made
in January, 1912, showed that IS per
cent Of them had served more than a
year, 81 per cent. had served more
than two years. AZ per cent. more
than six years, four per cent. more
than twenty-six years. and one per
cent. more than thirty-six years.
Among these volunteers are county
correspondents who have several as
sistants who can be called on if nee
essary. They report directly to
Washington There are also township
correspondents who report directly
and independently to Washington.
Reports from these. and still other in
dependent sources are used TO check
one another. The number OF counties
of agricultural Importance in the Uni
ted States is approximately $500, and
the township reporters number $4,000.
Then there are reports from many
individual farmers and planters re-
ceived at the end of the growing sea
son. 1t is their business to question

ing, by the way, raised a great row
among the ignorant inhabitants of
Panama. They could not understand
why they should be all moved out
into the street and their houses filled
with evil-smelling fumes, and they
were inclined to offer forcible re-
sistance until the zone police took
the matter in hand.
Much more difficult has been the
task of graduating malaria, for the
Anopheline mosquito, which makes a
speciality of carrying this disease, is
widespread and of several varieties.
It is the female only that bites, and
she needs blood-preferably red
blood-for the development Of her
eggs. The eggs are deposited in a
slow moving or stationary water and
hatch out into little larvae or "wrig-
glers." At least once in two minutes
the larva must come to the surface
to breathe, and that is where the san
itary department gets it, usually.
As one wanders about the zone he
gees at the headwaters Of every
stream, ditch or other water course,
at frequent intervals along its banks,
and at the edge Of every pool big
tin can or a keg. From this recep-
tacle there is constant drip, drip,
drip Of larvacide, a black, oily-looking
compound of crude carbolic acid,
caustic soda and resin. This spreads
out over the water, an iridescent
film, and when little AnopheliEe
larya comes up for air he meets a
swift death. To replenish these cans
of larvacide a small army Of Jamai-
cans is kept travelling about the zone,
and others go around with tanks Of
the compound strapped on their
backs, spraying every pool they come
to.
Another measure Of determination
has been the draining and filing in Of
swampy ground and the Strengthening
and clearing of water courses 30 that
their flow viii be too swift for Mad
arne Anopheline. The work Of drain
Ing and filling has been extensive and
near the Pacific end Of the canal has
resulted in the reclamation Of large
tracts of land for building sites.

Ancon, C. ALI the world gives to
Col. W. c. Gorgas, chief sanitary Off
Ger, and his assistants full credit for
the wonderful work they have accom-
plished in making the Panama canal
zone healthful and keeping it so. All
the world that knows gives equal =
greater credit to those American, Ital.
ian and English doctors and soldiers
who sacrificed their health and in
some cases their lives to prove that
yellow fever and malaria, the two ter
rors Of tropic America, are transmit
ted by the bite of mosquitoes. 1t is
not my intention to tell over again
the latter story. The devotion of
those brave men actually made pos
sible the building of the Panama
en- full advantage of by Colonel Cor
gas and his forces, and the zone is
now one of the most healthful places
in the world
Before the coming of the Amer
leans the isthmus was veritable pest
hole. The French canal builders and
their workmen and the laborers on
the Panama railway died like flies,
usually of malaria or yellow fever.
Today a fatal case of malaria is a
rarity, the more malignant form being
almost unknown, and not single case
of yellow fever has originated in the
zone i'm several wears
The Stegomyia mosquito, the yellow
fever bearer, has not been exceed
ingly hard to exterminate because it
breeds and lives only near human
habitations. When the Americans
had substituted a regular water sys-
tenn and underground sewers for the
rain water barrels and the open
bitches in Colon, Panama and the
other towns, and had fumigated all
the dwellings, Stegomyia was prac-
tically extinct. That job of fumigat-
