ARTIFICIAL BODIES.
OF WATER AND MA
LARIAL TROUBLE

The close and often all-important
relation Of sanitation to the develop
ment Of wealth becomes more and
more obvious every day. Whenever
large engineering projects are now
adays contemplated for the utiliza-
ton of natural resources, the ques-
ton Immediately arises as to what
the effects will be on the health of
the adjacent communities.
In the South, for instance, it is es-
timated that over one hundred mil
lions of dollars have been invested in
impounding reservoirs which will per-
init the use of water power for in
dustrial, purposes. The utilization of
this water power is not like the con-
sumption of coal because it does not
lessen the natural resources of the
country 1t is on the contrary a true
conservation of wasted energy and
adds in no small degree to the perma
nent assets of the nation.
But there is another significant
point to be considered. If the ponds of
these power plants constitute a seri-
Gus menace to health. either their es
adjustment will eventually have to
be forbidden or the fact must be clear
ly understood that their establish
ment will render unhealthful con-
Siderable adjacent area. In either case
the loss is a serious one. A similar
dilemma faces communities in the case
of small ponds of the grist milling, cot
ton, and other industries, which are
important from their numbers, If not
from their individual size
The influence of these artificial bod
les of water in producing malaria is
a subject of complaint in many COM
munities in the South. Some of these
complaints are probably well founded,
but others are hardly based on any
solid ground. The variance of opin-
ions on a subject of so much import
ance to many localities has caused the
United States Public Health Service to
undertake a comprehensive investiga-
ton of this matter. preliminary re-
port on which has just been publish
ed.
In order to determine the effect of
this kind of ponds on the production
of malaria, the conditions which exist
ed before the pond was built must be
compared with the conditions which
developed afterwards. In other words.
the malaria proceeding from the pond
must be counted as debit, and the
malaria prevented by 1t as a credit.
1t is only by long and careful study
of all the factors involved that it can
be definitely determined whether ar
tificial bodies of water of this charac-
ter are actually responsible for the
prevalence of malaria. When this
study is completed the Public Health
Service will be able to suggest meas
ures to minimize the i'll effects of such
ponds and to increase to a maximum
the good results which may be ac-
eomplished by them.

THE ECONOMY OF
GROUND SQUIRREL
DESTRUCTION

From July /, 1913, to November i,
1914, the Public Health Service. during
it's operations for the suppression of
plague in California, caused about so
per cent. of the ground squirrels to be
destroyed over an area of 3,S73,14s
acres which includes 1000 miles OF
railroad right-of-way.
AS a result of this widespread SPUR
rel destruction, 1t is believed that bu-
bonic plague has, for all practical pur-
poses, been eradicated from the state
of California, and that any further
danger of its spread has been removed.
Ground squirrels have for years
caused enormous losses, in agricultural
products, to farmers and ranchers, and
have caused considerable damage to
railroads and to irrigation projects. and
as many comments have been received
from farmers. railroad men. irrigation
lists and others. to the effect that great
suit of squirrel destruction. it was de-
cided to compile information as to the
amount of savings that have been eff
fected.
Replies were received from 497 per-
sons. representing total area of s21,.
23S acres. The total sum expended for
squirrel destruction was $36.0s1.S5. OF
an average Of 11.2 cents per acre. The
savings realized amounted to $780,
3o1.5o. or an average of "a cents PEI
acre. II was estimated that the land
itself had increased. in the case of cul.
tivated land. s2.74 in value. and in the
case OF pasture land had increased SLIT

FOREST EXHIBITS
FOR CALIFORNIA

San Diego leaves Washington this
week. This portion has to do with the
national forests of New Mexico. and
will be shown in the New Mexico build

in cooperation with the state board of
exposition commissioners of that state.
The material also shows specimens of
the principal timber trees of New Mex
leo and their uses.
other exposition material is to leave
soon for San Francisco. where it will
form a part of the Penama Pacific ex
position. Part of this is being pre-
pared through cooperation between the
forest service and the United States
civil service commission. The com

all candidates for positions in the for
est service, testing the fitness of those
who wish to become forest officers
through outdoor examinations in riding.

liar matters as well as by more con-
ventional methods; its exhibit will
illustrate the duties of these officers.
Cooperation also exists, in the prepa-
ration of exhibit material, between
the forest service and the bureau of
education. This shows how forest sub
jects are used in the public schools, in
connection with nature study, CONNER
cial geography, agriculture, and the
like. One of the exhibits is a display
made by the normal school pupils of the
District of Columbia, in which num-
Der of those who are studying for
teachers positions entered prize con-

testants prepared a separate exhibit
showing the life history and the prod

OIL DEMONSTRATIONS.
Validating in Northwestern Missouri
Discussed by United States Geologic
cal Survey.

The almost Unsuitable demand for
gasoline and other petroleum products
seems to increase as fast as new oil
pools can be discovered. Even the
present slump in the oil industry of
this country on account of the Euro
pean war has failed wholly to check
the skirmish line Of the wildcatters.
One of the regions Of the late invasion
Is northwestern Missouri. Advancing
from the big pools of Oklahoma north
eastward across southeastern Kansas,
where pools Of modest production were
found long ago, the wildcatter is now
testing the ground in Missouri In the
region of Leavenwortn, Kans. Hereto
fore, the few tests made in northwest
ern Missouri have not met with very
good results. Now, in order to reduce
the number of failures as far as posi-
BILE. the drillers have asked the advice
of the Missouri Bureau Of Geology and
Mines and the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, which not long ago COM
pleted a joint examination Of the re-
gion. In response the biologists have
prepared an advance statement to the
effect that conditions specially favor
able for the occurrence Of q strong pool
have not been found in the Leaven-
worth and Smithville region, though
the geologic structure at several points
which they mention is considerably
better than at others. According to
their statement there would appear to
be fighting chance Of finding oil or
gas in small quantities in this region,
though, far from finding another great
Glenn pool. the driller must not be sur
prised if he gets nothing more than a
showing of oil and gas.
