FAIRFIELD SAYS
 MOSQUITOES ARE NOT HOME GROWN
Puts Blame For Tiny Zeppe- lin Raids Upon Us and
 Other Neighbors.

1 You who have comp mpIained because
 an otherwise enjoyable summer at | Fairfield beach had been spoiled by | the inquisitiveness of the mosquitoes 1 that infest the shore, and who doubt | less have brought down the cuss of Allah on the pests, should reserve | judgment.
 That same mosquito that played l about your ankles in such festive
 manner may have been mosquitoe i from your own home town. It did't be 1 long in Fairfield at all. In tke re- | port of Health Officer Valery Havard
 published in the annual town record, 1 he expresses the opinion that many of | the mosquitoes that bothered Fair 1 fie1ders and others were merely visi- torssr
 ''I shall also state," he says in part l of his report, that large proportion 1 of the mosquitoes that plagued did did not come from our marshes but to their abundant breeding around us and all over the state.''
 Health Officer Harvard, through whose efforts several years ago a sue cessfuI campaign wt1s instituted against the pest, attributes the preva< lence of mosquitoes during the last year partly to. the unusual rainfall and partly to the fact that neighbor- ing places were not as careful as Fair field was.
 
 commented favorably upon it, that. during 1913 the mosquitoes were scarcely noticed at all. That is due to the fact that an efficient system of drainage was adopted through the eff forts of Col. Harvard and others, and the stagnant water which is largely responsible for the breeding of the pests, was almost eliminated. His re- port follows;
 "Our warfare against mosquitoes has been kept up with great activity this season, but unfortunately with less success than in the last two or three years. A careful study of the subject and an extended experience in dealing with it led me to the con yiction that our measures of warfare, that to say, the means employed to prevent the breeding and propagation of mosquitoes are sound and will all ways be successful in normal years.
 But it is well known that this year has been quite unusual and excep- tional in the frequency of it rainfall, keeping filled for weeks at a time, shallow depressipns which with our

DAIRY COMMISSIONER
 GAN PROHIBIT SALES

Dairy and Food Commissioner F. H. Stadtmueller has called the atten- ton of .~The Courant'' to an error made in practically every paper in the state, which makes it appear that he cannot prohibit the sale of milk, by a finding of the attorney general. ECommission oner StadtmuelIer asked the attorney general not. if he could pro- hibit the sale of milk, but if he is re- quired by the Legislature of 1915 to establish quarantines and fix the val ues of quarantined milk, or if the municipality Is so bound by the law. The finding was that the municipality must see to those things. The com rr1issi oner can, for cause, prohibit the sale of milk.

ditching system, should dry up in four or five days before the mos quitoes 1arva has time to develop into a full-fIedged mosquito. The result has been a great deal of breeding in our marshes from low places which hitherto have been quite harmless. This we have endeavored to remedy by digging number of additional trenches so that, at the present writ ing, all breeding places are again dry. The weak points of our system having thus been found and corracted, we have every reason to hope &hat hereafter we shall be more complete Iy free from the mosquito pest than ever before.
 should also state that a large pro- portion of the mosquitoes that p1agu- ed us did not come from our marshes but were blown in from the outside, owing to their abundant breeding us, and all over the state. But a cam paign of extermination is now being earnestly taken up by many communi- ties, especially along our coast, under recently enacted State laws, so that we may confidently expect that the number of mosquitoes invading our territory will steadily and rapidly de- crease.
