FIND TURKEYS PREY
To GAPEWORM PEST
Government Experts Say Birds
Probably are Natural
Hosts of Parasite.

Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts OF the gapeworm-a serious
pest among young chickens-and
are an important factor in their
spread. This has been demon
strated by a zoologist Of the United
states Department of Agriculture.
as the result OF experiments and
other Investigations carried on at
Washington and on farms in sew.
eral localities in Maryland.
During three winter seasons be-
ginning in December, 1915, a total
Of 625 chickens and 67s turkeys
were examined in the Washington
city market. No gapeworms were
found in the chickens, but 22.5 per
cent Of the turkeys were found to
be infested. From one to eighteen
worms were found in each OF the
infested turkeys. A report Of these
Investigations has been published ed
by the department in Department
Bulletin 939. THE Turkey as an
Important Factor in the Spread OF
Gapeworms"
In view Of the complete absence
OF gapeworms from a large series OF
adult and approximately adult
chickens. all obtained at the same
HlHkeI AT the same season or the
year. 1t would appear. the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts Of gapeworms. 1t
Is also evident that not merely
young turkeys may harbor the
worms but these parasites are very
common in adult turkeys. That
turkeys above three years Of age
may harbor gapeworms is estab-
hshed by the fact that a turkey
which was kept at the departments
experiment station at Bethesda,
Nd. for three years after 1t was
brought there was found after its
death to be infested with a pair
Of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapeworms
from year to year on infested poul-
try farms the two chief factors.
according to the bulletin, appear to
be turkeys and contaminated soil.
Whether, in the absence Of turkeys
from a farm, gapeworm affliction
among chickens will regularly dis
appear has not been definitely es-
tablished, but II seems probable
that IL may often do so.

CREMATION FAVORED
BY BRITISH SOCIETY
Woman Is Leader Of Believer
in Curious Fad and Her
Name Is Graves, Too.

- LONDON, May 13.-The Hon. Mrs.
Spencer Graves Is president OF tn,
Cremation Society OF England. Oh
viously she wishes Graves to exist
in name only.
1t is a curious fad which she ,ha.
taken up and she is rather upset
because only 1922 people were
cremated in all England last year.
OF these nearly all cremations were
in London, with the one crematory
at Golder's Green performing S93
cremations.
She takes comfort from the fact.
Of those desiring cremation was not
large, every one OF those who died
after making such provision was a
leader of some sort.
The people whose thought had led
them to decide cremation, in other
words. were among the best in Eng.
land.
Among those cremated in 1921 was
Lord Moulton, representing the bar
he was a judge-the Bishop of Ips.
wich, representing the church; Ken.
nedy Jones, representing the profes.
sion, of journalism; many surgeons,
several peeresses, several members
of Parliament, artists, soldiers, sail.
ors, and eminent women workers,
including Miss Mary Macarthur.
Royalty was cremated during the
year for the first time in Great
Britain when the Duchess of Con.
naught's remains were thus disposed
of in accordance with a definite re.
quest left in her will.

EXPERT OFFERS
HEROIC PLAN To
KILL MOSQUITO
Fill Marshes and Develop Ter
ritory, Says A. c. Weeks,
~ New York Lawyer.
OBJECTS TO OLD METHODS
Spreading Oil on Stagnant
Water Is Injurious and
WastefuI.

NEW YORK. May 13.-Now is
the time to begin thinking Of
swatting, drowning, choking, hang
ing, quartering, or otherwise
nnnihilating the summer mos
quito.
However, according to Archi-
bald C. Weeks, lawyer and ento-
,mologist, the good old methods
that have been previously used to
this end may be old but they are
not good. If they kill a few mos
'ouitoes directly they Indirectly
bring many more to life. If they
make life pleasanter by destroy
ing some mosquitoes, they more
: than balance this advantage by
also destroying birds, insects and
vegetation useful and necessary
to man.
Assails Old Methods.
Mr.. Weeks. who comes, from a
Suffolk County, IN. " family Of
son of one of the founders of the
Audubon Society, and lifelong
student OF the best methods for a
community to employ in ridding
itself of insect pests. His con-
clusion, as published in an article
being distributed by the Brook.
haven Town Board, is that the two
mosquito killing methods hitherto
considered most scientific and effec-
tive are really injurious, made
quate, wasteful and are highly
commended and advertised by
profiteers who are in a position to
profit by their use.
These methods are:
l. Spreading oil on stagnant
waters to kill mosquito larvae.
.. Cutting drainage bitches
through swampy land to dry 1t up.
OF these the entomologist says:
Among the devices employed by
persons ignorant of natural his
tory, and those who might be
termed grafters or profiteers, to
eliminate mosquitoes from marshes
was a machine cutting small chan
nels or bitches about 10 inches in
width, rendering travel over the
surface difficult and which shortly
become choked with wild growth,
mud and debris, unless kept free

places for mosquitoes than ever
before"
Oil covering on stagnant waters
destroys frogs, toads. bugs, ETC.,
all of which eat mosquitoes, Weeks
points out.
Mosquitoes Breed Fast.
Mosquitoes breed every two
weeks, hence oil covering becomes
useless when it is blown aside by
the wind, he adds.
THE only sure and permanent
method of mosquito elimination is
filling or covering so that the
marsh or stagnant pool as such no
longer exists. have repeatedly
advised that all the ashes. garbage,
and other refuse of this city, in
stead of being wastefully dumped
at sea with its subsequent pollution
on the shores, should be transferred
to the Jamaica Bay marshes"
Weeks states, adding that with
such methods mosquitoes would
go while the marshes were being
filled in. This, he points out,
would prove Of benefit in the Long
Island waterway project, as the
fillingin process would both remove
the mosquitoes and render the land
more valuable and capable of de.
velopment.
