eral Inspector States

All Cameron county towns are now
organized for the mosquito eradication
campaign, according to a report made
this morning by J. NJ. Billngslea, ted
eral inspector, who has been working
IN the Valley the past six weeks. Mr..
Billingslca visited Point Isabel yester-
day, secured the services of a local in
spector, and arranged 20 have cam
paign inaugurated. Conditions at Point
Isabel. he stated, were worse than in
any other town in the county, due to
the lack of water supply which necessi-
tatcs the storage of water in barrels
and cis.erns. Ninetyfour barrels and
81 cisterns were inspected. and % bar
rcis and Is cisterns were found to be
injected. The use of minnows is the
only feasible control method for Point
Isabel, he stated, and residents of that
place were instructed to secure a sup
ply of the "gambooza" minnows, COM
monty known as pot and place
.hem in The cisterns and barrels.
The preliminary inspection work in
Cameron county has been completed,
and every town has appointed loca.
inspector. who will continue the work
under the supervision Of A. l.. Allen,
federal inspector, and VIM. Spivey,
county inspector. Mr. Billingslea will
leave in day or two for Willacy and
Nueces counties, to assist in organizing
control work, but will return 20 the
Valley at an early date.
There will be no let up in the mos
quito control work." Mr.. Billingslea
said. .The government has gone into
this for the purpose Of cleaning up the
border and eliminating the yellow fever
menace which is ever present during
the summer. The work is to be carried
ou. thoroughly, and the splendid coop
Grafton given US by every Valley town
and community indicates that the mos
quito cleanup will be as thorough as
tits possible to make it,
The inspector stated that conditions
in Brownsville, San Benito. Harlingen
and La Fcria were found to be very
similar. .he water barrels and cisterns
forming the most prolific source OF
mosquito propagation. Hundreds os wa
ter barrels and scores of cisterns have
already been eliminated since the Grad
ication campaign started, and in most
of the Valley towns water mains are be-
ing extended to provide water in those
quarters now dependen. upon the barrel
supply.
Iidalgo county has extended the
same excellent cooperation. Mr.. Billings
lea stated W. r. Taylor has been APP
pointed county inspector for the gov
crnment and is working in connection
with DR.. Garst. county public health
physician. The city of McAllen has pass
ed an ordinance which will give the ci ~
officials greater powers in dealing with
the mosquito problem. and other towns
in that county are taking similar action.
1T is evident that the Valley realizes
TIE deadly menace Of the stegomya mos
qui.o." Mr.. Biiineslea said. "In no
other part Of the country have the fed
eral men received better cooperation,
and we are confident that through this
cooperation the yellow fever menace of
MEXICO will be almost eliminated"
