COLUMBUS ANTI-MALARIA CAMPAIGN

ago. This is as It should be, for the
people of Columbus are paying out
good money to have their malaria and
mosquito nuisance reduced. Up to
September lst, s2,9s6.99 has been
spent in the campaign, exclusive Of
supervision, which is borne by the
Federal Government. OF this amount,
the city has spent Sl,342. TO- the re-
mainder Of the funds having been pro-
vided by the Mississippi State Board
of Health and the international Health
Board. It will be remembered that
100000 was appropriated by the city
of Columbus for this campaign, but
at the present rate of expenditure
there will probably remain about one
thousand dollars to the credit of the
city's fund at the close of the cam
paign. The weather has been some
what unfavorable, due to the extreme
ly wet year, OF. the campaign might
have cost less and been more success
full. However, it is thought that ex-
cellent results have been obtained 50
far.
The main obstacle to the success of
tie mosquito campaign is the care
lessness and indifference of the indi-
vidual householder in leaving water
containers, such as barrels, tin
cans, tubs and pots lying about the
premises, in which mosquitoes may
breed. In every case of complaint
that has been investigated, some such
container has been found breeding
smosquitoes, either in the complain
ants own yard, or in the yard of his
next-door neighbor. 1t is requested
that before complaints are made to
the director of the Antimalaria Cam
paign, that the premises be thoroughly
searched for collections of water
breeding mosquitoes. In the future il
may be necessary to enforce the anti
mosquito ordinance to the letter, in
order to bring forcefully to the atten.
ton of offenders that they are respon-
sible for breeding the mosquitoes that
annoy them and their neighbors. 1t is
requested that all householders CO.
Ioperate with the health authorities by
keeping their premises permanently
free of possible mosquito breeding
places. Help to make Columbus q
malaria-free and mosquito-less town

LONG TENURE IN OFFICE TENDS
TOWARD MONARCHIAL IDEAS

Every one said during the World
War; that we were entering a new
world; that Ola things had passed
away never to return.
This is true only if new men are
placed at the head Of affairs. Fos-
silized time-servers viii never usher in
! new era.
These men who have done the most
harm to this government in the way
of blocking progress and leaning to-
wards reactionary craftsmanship
have been those who served LONGEST.
Take these old-timers who fought
every innovation in tariff legislation,
ia extension Of governmental activi-
ties ii agriculture. in labor legisla-
ton, and they marshalled practically
every man who had served over sixteen
years.
The future is in the keeping Of new
men, and they Shoaid DC placed ~ the
seats Of the time-serving fossils of
1the dead past.
The founders Of our government
knew from bitter experience, and a
> knowledge of history, what it meant
to keep the same ones in power indef-
ihitely, and placed the choice in the
haads Of the people to change con-
gressmen every two years. To keep
them there for quarter of century
sis a drift towards M0NARCHlAL
ideas, and an indictment Of the
Democratic idea of government.

On September 18th, the Columbus
Antimalaria Campaign, which has been
waged with the cooperation of .the
Mississippi State Board Of Health,
viii have entered it's fourth month.
Up to the first Of September, enc and
one-half miles Of new ditch has been
dug, nineteen and one-half miles Of
old ditch and stream cleaned and
drained, and seven miles Of ditch main
tanned. Besides this drainage work,
all permanent breeding places not kept
under control by top-minnows have
been oiled regularly, and an inspector
has been constantly on duty making in
spections of all premises in the city
to eliminate possible mosquito
breeding places.
Although the primary object of the
campaign was not to reduce the num-
Der Of mosquitoes in Columbus, but
rather to prevent malaria, which is
carried from person to person by a
particular kind of mosquito, the An
opheles, nevertheless the campaign
has done much to eliminate the pestif-
erous mosquitoes which, however, do
not carry disease. 1t is impossible
under any conditions to destroy abso-
lutely all mosquito breeding, and such
should not be expected in any mos
quito campaign, but it is possible to
reduce the number of mosquitoes to
such an extent that they cease to be
pests. This has been done to large
extent in Columbus; so much so, IN
fact, that a few mosquitoes now cause
more complaint than many did years

HAVE FERTILIZERS
READY FOR DR0UTH

1t is an excellent plan to have
commercial fertilizer on hand to
spur the vegetables along when the
dry days of the summer come along
and just before the crop is matur
ing. These fertilizers are in powder
fo1n and are very easily sprinkled
vt1er the soil and hoed in. Being
concentrated, it is not necessary to
give a heavy dressing. Little and
often is a good motto.
There are the balanced formulate
fertilizers which are kept in stock by
very dealer, which contain all the
elements necessary for plant growth,
but one of the most convenient and

efficient fertilizers is pulverized
sheep manure, which can be bought
in hundred pound sacks at price
between $3.50 and $500.
This may seem high, but the prod
uct is all manure, no straw or litter
and, in its way, it may be regarded
as concentrated. II is dry and easy
TO handle with a minimum of disa-
greeable odor. II is one of the best
subjects for making liquid manure,
using about a peck to vinegar bar
rel of water.
For string and lima beans, poul-
try manure is a fine fertilizer to hoe
in. Poultry manure should be dried
carefully as soon as collected and
broken up fine. Dried suickly, it re-
tains nearly all of its fertilizing
content, but if permitted to remain
moist, it ferments like other ma
nures and loses its nitrogen in the
form Of ammonia fumes, which in a
henhouse not properly cared for are
often very strong.
Blood and bone is q. fine fertilizer
