knowledge OF herried ty has resulted
in the development OF strain of cab
bage that resists the dreaded infec-
ton, says the New York Post. Mil
lions of dollars have been saved to
growers, and thousands OF plates of
salad have been rescued for tn con-
sumer, by careful studies of "yelows"
carried on during period of several
years. Under the direction OF j. r..
Jones, plant pathologist at-the Uniyer
sity of Wisconsin, who is responsible
for the new strain, Investigations are
being continued to aid further in
stamping out the disease which threat
ened to destroy the cabbage-growing
industry in Wisconsin and other
| States.
Working on the basis of the fact
that in every disease-infected area of
plants some individuals are more re-
| sistant to a disease than others, DR..
Jones selected seed in badly infected
I fields of cabbage, from occasional
beads that seemed to have escaped
much of the disease. BY planting
the seed obtained In this way. and b.
continuing these seed selections in
the same way during a period OF sew
eral years, strain of one variety OF
cabbage was developed which escaped
the rayages of yelIows, while adioin-
! ing fields were swept clean by the
spread OF the disease Seed was dis
tributed among farmers in the com
mercial cabbage growing districts OF
Racine. Kenosha, and other counties
with the suggestion that paintings
should not be made on soils which
had previously grown diseased cab
bage.

Mosquito Campaign.

Editor The Commercial.
Dear Sir: The people of Union
City should know the character and
the progress of the malarial control
campaign, first because the city is
paying one-half the cost of the work,
and secondly because their individ-
ual cooperation is required to make
the campaign 100 percent success.
On May 10 the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen appropriated $1,000, and
the State Board of Health an equal
amount, for carrying out a program
Of malarial control by anti-mosqui-
to measures, under the supervision of
the U. s. Public Health Service. At
the same time an ordinance was en-
Eacted making the maintenance of
any collection of water in which mos
quitoes may breed punishable by fine.
Active work was begun a week
later, when Mr.. w. e. Eason was APP
pointed inspector in charge of the
work here. An oiler, equipped with
a gripsack spray pump, was set to
spraying a light film of coal oil on
all standing water and along the
edges of running streams. This film
is renewed weekly in order to pre-
vent the Matching out Of the mosqui-
toes from the egg, this cycle occur
ring in eight or nine days in summer
weather. The oil film destroys the
mosquito Larvae, or wiggletails. by di-
rect poisoning and by shutting off
their air supply thus causing suffo7
cation.
In addition to the oiling, ditch
ing gang has been at work draining
the old creek west of town. Before
draining this was series of stagnant
pools breeding thousands of mala-
ria carrying mosquitoes, which would
have made the malaria problem in
Union City more serious than ever
before. 1t is now entirely dry. The
drainage canal near the old creek bed
has been channeled to release the
large pools in which mosquitoes were
breeding profusely in the green scum
along the edges. This work is being
continued on the lateral canal near
est town. These canals will require
proper maintenance every year to
avoid the pooling that produces mos
quito breeding.
The drainage system in the east
part of town will be improved, and
the .-own branch will be cleaned out
thoroughly in the next few weeks.
Many ponds will be drained, but
where ponds are needed to water
stock the edges will be cleaned of
vegetation and debris and stocked
with top water minnows which eff
fectually destroy mosquito wiggle-
tails. A special pond has been set
aside as a hatchery for collecting and
breeding these minnows so that they
may be available for this work. Par
ticular caution is urged upon fisher
men not to use these valuable little

Those who are actively engaged in
carrying forward the work at the
cemeteries have undertaken it for
1921 with renewed courage and zeal
because of the encouraging words
spoken of the same, and of the CO.
operation of a larger number of the
people who have interests there
From the beginning it has been
the purpose and determination of the
Cemetery Association and the City
Board to each year leave the stamp
of improvement and beauty on the
entire grounds. This can be done
rapidly only by the prompt and
hearty payment of the annual dues,
$500 per lot.
No lot owner can regret more than
does the association when there is
seeming neglect or a mistake made.
We use the word seeming advisedly.
While this is all a labor of love
upon our part it is also business en-
terprise which we strive to conduct
equiaably. Therefore we greatly ap-
preciate the same charity and rea-
soma bleness that you ask for yourself
from the public in whatever business
or work you carry on in our midst.
The entrance to the City Cemetery,
for which a fund was started three
years ago, will be put UP this year.
On account of the high cost of ma
terials and labor it was postponed.
The money already contributed is in
the bank bearing interest. Those who
have promised subscription will be
called upon soon, and we trust there
are others who will find it in their
hearts to contribute literally to this

to finish this Improvement at once.

non AOA Oolts
The program outlined above is eff
fcctively preventing the breeding OF
malaria carrying mosquitoes, but To
keep down common house mosquitoes
requires the cooperation of every
householder. Tin cans, old barrels,
old bottles and tubs on the premises
should be hauled away to safe dis
lance. All necessary barrels, buck
cts, pot and other containers should
be kept turned over when not in use
so as not to collect rain water Old
wells and cisterns should be filled
up with dirt or ashes, or covered with
an alright cement cover. Yard hy-
drants should be kept shut off when
not in use, and leaky faucets re-
paired, to prevent collection of water.
Small drain bitches should be kept
clean and pools under the house or
in the yards should be cleaned or re-
paired to avoid holding water. All
these places will breed mosquitoes
politically unless attended to. I'm
til these conditions can be remedied
little coal oil spread on the surface
of the water each week will prevent
mosquito breeding.
Let us all get together and rid
Union City of mosquitoes and mala-
ria. A good reputation once estab-
liohed will stick.
