HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS MEETING THE MALARIA
 PROBLEM.

Fonr per cent of the inhabitants of pertain sections of the South have malaria. This estimate, based on the reporting of 204,8S1 cases during 1914 has led the United States Pubic Health Service to give increased at tention to the malaria problem. ac- cording to the annual report of the Surgeon General. Of 13,526 blood speciments examined by Government officers during the year, 1,797 showed malarial infection. The infection rate among white persons was above eight per cent, and among colored persons twenty per cent. In two counties Tn the Yazoo Valley, 40 out of every 100 inhabitants presented evidence of the disease
 Striking as the above figures are they are no more remarkable than those relating to the reduction in the incidence of the disease following sur veys of the Public Health Service at S4 places in nearly every state of the South. In some instances from an in- cidence of fifteen per cent, in 1914, a reduction has been accomplished to less than four or five per cent, in 1913.
 One of the important scientific dis coveres made during the year was In regard to the continuance of the disease from season to season. Over 2OOO AnOpheline mosquitoes in malar-
 Ous districts were dissected. during the early Spring months, without find Ing single infected insect, and not until May l5, 1915, was the first para site in the body of a mosquito dis covered. The Public Health Service, therefore concludes that mosquitoes In the latitude of the Southern States ordinarily do not carry the infection through the winter. This discovery
 indicates that protection from malaria may be secured by treating human carriers with quinine previous to the middle of May, thus preventing any infection from chronic sufferers reach Ing mosquitoes and beng transmitted Oy them to other persons.
 Although quinine remains the best means of treating malaria and is al- so o1 marked benefit in preventing infection, the eradication of. the di- sease as whole rests upon the des- 'ucnon of the breeding places of An Vphellne mosquitoes. The Public nealth Service, therefore, is urging q ee"ii'e campaign of draining stand "g water, the filling of low places, anu the regarding and training of streams where malarial mosquitoes 'ieeu. The oiling of breeding places ana the stocking of streams with top euihg minnows, are further recom- A'e"ded' The Service also gives advice eafding screening, and other pre- 'eu'iVe measures as a part of the edu- <; a'ional campaigns conducted in sec.

 According to the census Pennsylva- mia last year had 1000 women farm CTS, the majority of whom owned the land they worked. In Georgia, during the past three years, the number of woman farmers has more than dou- bled. The majority of the woman go in for raising hogs, catle and food stuffs. leaving cotton planting to the men.
 Corporate Chicago will try to make farmers of several thousand boys and girls this summer. Plots of ground will be obtained in every ward in the city. They will be cleared, plowed and planted by the city. They then will be turned over to the boys and girls. Children who accept the res possibility of the care of plot will be instructed by expert gardners. Their crops will belong to them. Whatever profits accrue the children themselves will reap.
 A school for professional and do- mestic" instruction for wives and daughters of farmers has been estab- lished at Tandil, Argentina, under the auspices of the University of the Riv- CT Platte. The course extends through two years and includes studies in do- mestic economy, garden work, bird and bee culture, dairying, the feeding of farm animals, farm accounting, etc.
