MOSQUITOES STING CUTS CROPS.
Poisonous Insects Cause Great Loss
in Cotton Production.

The malarial mosquito Is not only
causing tremendous annual losses in
farm labor and production in the South
but Is indirectly increasing the destruc-
tiveness OF the cotton boil weevil, ac-
cording to statements Of specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. These statements follow a
study OF mosquito-infested plantations
in Louisiana made during the last cot
ton and corn crop season by specialists
OF the Bureau of Entomology as a pre-
liminary to a more extended investiga-
ton OF the effect Of malaria on farm
production and profits.
On this single farm the specialists
found that the malarial mosquito 30 af-
fected the workers that the equivalent
Of 7.39 weeks OF work by adult labor
were lost per family during the seasons
when crops were under cultivation. This
does not include the lessened efficiency
Of convalescents or the lack of interest
and energy resulting from malarial ILL
ness.
The Louisiana farm selected for the
experiment contains $50 acres. OF which
1.soo acres was under cultivation and 1.74o
acres was In swamp land timber. The
natural conditions on the plantation, II
is believed. prevail on nearly 10000
square miles Of farming land in the
South. OF the titled acreage about 800
acres were cultivated by tenant farmers.
who took three-fourths of their yield II
they supplied mules. seed. implements.
and feed, or one-half OF their yield II
the plantation owner supplied these
items The balance OF the cultivated
acreage was worked with day labor at
81 per day.
The plantation physician stated at the
beginning Of the survey that fully sew
enty-hve per cent OF the families on the
plantation were afflicted with malaria
and at least two members Of every af-
fiicted family had the disease in seri-
Gus form at some time during the crop
season Nine out OF every ten patients in
his practice he said were malarial sub
iects A study OF the records Of the
plantation shows that 4s out OF 81 fami-
lies were treated for malaria during the
season This number is probably too
low. the Departments specialists be-
lieve because many families try TO avoid
the cost OF medical attendance. and the
negro has a natural aversion TO proper
medical treatment.
The manager OF one plantation states
that an estimate. based on actual loss
OF time, which would place the loss to
the plantation owners from reduced pro-
duction at ass, and to the tenants at
Sll5, would be very low. This would
mean that IL the loss were prevented
there would be an increased income OF
se4 per family for each OF the forty-six
malarial tenant families, together with
the above increase in returns to the
plantation. This manager is positive
that fifty families. or possibly even rs
few as forty families, without malaria
could have produced as much as the
sixty-four families under the malarial
conditions that prevailed.
An important observation made by the
investigator during the past season is
that portions of the loss through injury
by the boil weevil must be debited to

malaria. Under normal conditions the
loss Of time is not always so serious a
matter. after the cotton crop is laid by
and before the time OF picking. Under
boll-weevil conditions. however, both loss
of time and decreased efficiency become
more serious throughout the entire sea-
son.
The tendency OF the negro to move
about from place to place and his aver
sion to proper medical treatment, espe-
Cially a prolonged course of quinine, rem
ders the successful treatment OF the dis
ease with quinine impracticable. Reduc-

pends upon the control of the mosquito
carriers of the disease. In the ultimate
control. drainage will probably play the
greater part.

FOREIGN SPEED KINGS
SEEK MOTORCAR Prize
Defenders of America" Prepare Spe.
ciaI Cars for 500-mile Indian
apolis Road Race.
PLACE FAITH IN sTUTz CAR

Defenders of America" is going to be
a popular title between now and the sp-
preaching 5oo-mile race on the Indian
IpolIs motor speedway. On every hand is
heard the news that aspiring automobile
concerns are building special racing
cars to compete with the foreign speed
kings who may again carry across the
water the choicest prize that is offered
for speed competition in this country.
The alarm of these American patriots
Is well warranted, for the foreign field to
date brings into competition with the
best in America no less than Goux, last
years speedway winner; Boillot, recos-
nized European road champion; Chas-
sagne, holder of the worlds hour record; !;
Guyot, runner-up in the Grand PIX OF
lie Mans last year. and Christiaens,
famous Belgian. Other stars who are
expected to compete are Pillette, Bablet,
Duray, Navarro and Rigal.
Practically the only competition the
foreign cars had in last years race con-
sisted Of the two Stutz entries, driven by
Anderson and Merz. "GiP' Anderson was
crowdins Goux in second place eleven
laps from the finish when he stopped at
the pits to change a tire and was unable
to start again, a small screw having work
ed loose and lodged in the timing gears.
Charlie Merz finished third, crossing the
line with his car ablaze, due to broken
gasoline line
The greatest hope of the race critics In
the coming speedway event Is based on
"Gn" Anderson and Earl Cooper. both
stutz drivers. The former drove his frst
race on the motor speedway and knows
the track better than any other driver.
Cooper is the Stutz pilot who startled
the racing world last season with his
remarkable series of victories. Cooper
in a large measure is responsible for the
seven consecutive victories in road races
which gave the Stutz the title of on
cial Road Race Champion for 1913.''
The balance of the field of so-called
defenders is divided in two classes.
The first consists Of American cars with
of American-owned foreign cars with
such drivers as De Palma Grant, Null
ford, Toft, Marquis, and Gilhooley. Such
clever drivers as Burman. Wishart, Old
field, Disbrow. Hearne. Bragg. and Daw-
son ought to be able to present a puzzling
argument in their American-built cars
for solution by the foreigners in spite of
the formidable titles and records held by
them.
Harry c. Stutz says that there is every
reason to believe the track record will be
shattered May 80, when the above drivers
clash in what promises to be the most
thrilling and history-making grind in the
whole history of racing.

Washington, Jan. 13,--"Paying for
