PLAN SUGGESTED
BY STATE BOARD
Stagnant Water Should he
Drained Away, or Else vi
Placed Thereon to Prevent
Mosquitoes Matching.

DIR. M. A. Fort, Director Of Malaria
Control Of the State Board OF Health
says in an interview;
There is rapidly growing SEMI
ment for fighting mosquitoes IN TINS
state Most towns are beginning
fight. Some Of theme are doing gooo
work, others are doing only make
shift work.
Mosquitoes make their nests on
water. The babies that hatch from lhe
eggs are wiggletails. These change
into pupae, or "tumblers," and these
soon hatch out mosquitoes. These are
hest fought when they are babies, Nv
ing in the water. Break up the nests
This means drainage. If there IS no
standing water there can be no mos
quito breeding. A complete dralhase
nrogram for a town pays for ltselI
MANY times over in improved heal'h
conditions, reclaimed land and improV'
ed property values. Succeeding years
there is only the drains to be KEEP
clean, and some oiling.
Many mosquitoes do not make thelr
nests in the bitches and ponds, put IN
orr own back yards, in barrels, tubs,
watering troughs, tin cans, ana numer'
GUS other places. No town will clean
M the mosquitoes unless it combines
with the fight on the water in public
bitches. a fight also on water on prl-
vate nremises. And the best OF us Will
forget or neglect breeding places unless
there is an inspector to come arounu
and locate them for us, and help US 10
dispose of them.
A very rapid and efficient way OF
anplving a film of oil on water Is by
soaking sawdust with oil, and sprlnH-
ling a little of this on all breeding
places. This is often a cheap plan, as
any waste oil can be used, even II II
is too dirty for any other purpose
Often waste oil from garages and 9TH
er mechanical plants can be gotten Tor
nothing, and used with great benefit.
Some day | hope to see all towns
put on a complete drainage program,
but until finances are available for
that purpose, all should at least tlght
the mosquitoes as well as they can.
If I am asked for an outline OF plan
would suggest the following:
l. Employ full time sanitary man
to work under the Health Officer.
Q. Let this man apply oil to all out
side breeding places once every week.
This may be done with a spraying ap-
paratus, or with sawdust, as suggested
above.
3. The remaining time, let this man
visit all homes, and help us find I'M
suspected breeding places and help us
to get rid of them. This man had
best be an intelligent white man. He
would need a few days instruction,
which might be secured from the State
Board of Health or local Health Off
Ger.
With a plan like this, mosquitoes
and malaria would be greatly reduced
the first year.
l could name towns for you where
great factories have been located, land
values and population greatly increas-
ed, and prosperity fastened by simply
making an active fight on the mos
quito
GO thou and do likewise"

to be some justice in their claims.
II a man hes done energetic work
for a party or candidate for god
many years, manp people have felt
that he establishes a kind OF claim

Yet too frequently the mcn who

had no special qualification for their

service if they get some public
office. The great number OF men
who get such appointments as the
result Of political services rather
than as a result Of their qudhlica'
tions, constitute one big reason why
it costs So much money 20 rum the
e leral and state governments.

better government we shall get. il
w.u.d promote the public good in

hey make at public meetings, and
pon the hiends they win as the
csult Of frank personal statements
i their IDEAS and purposes. When
hey campaign in this way, they
urne under Obligation to no one.
But when they have to depend
lpon the efforts Of a lot OF inerccn'
,ry rooters who are chasing around
to corral the voters, they are in
curing debts the payment OF which
will some day be demanded, not
always in a way calculated to pro-
mote good government.
1t is a fine thing when public
spirited citizens will get out and
work for a good candidate without
hope o! personal reward But those
who perform these Iabors with the
expection Of getting something in
return, constitute one Of the pro-
lom5 of democratic govern ment.

FIELD OF
SEED CORN Is BEST

Early selection of seed corn is

vice director of the Minnesota
Experiment Station. Year by
year King Corn has increased his
sway in Minnesota until. accord

United States Department of
Agriculture, his acreage in the
state is greater than the acreage
of any other single crop.

AN0THE YEAR

With this weeks issue the

ume 10, having completed nine
years of publication. Those nine
years seem like a short time and
yet when one stops 10 consider
they are a considerable part Of
anyone's most active years say
from 80 TO go. The nine year
period has seen many changes
in a local, state, as well as ma
tional and international way of
which the past two or three years
have not been the least trying.
1t is our endeavor right along
to publish as good a newspaper
rs possible and hope that we are
meeting with the approval Of our
readers. Suggestions for better
ment are always welcomed.
We take this means of thank
ing one and all for their patron
age during the past year and so
licit a continuance of same.

progressive farmers Of the state
have developed early maturing,
high yielding varieties which are
making Minnesota a foremost
corn state.
The best seed corn is selected
in the field as soon as the ears
are mature but the plant still
green" says +. H. Steinmetz of
the division Of farm crops and
farm management at University
Farm. IF the selection is not
made until husking time, when
the plant is dead, there is no good
opportunity for studying the
plant for vigor and general char
acters, There is a possibility Of
selecting ears which were frozen
prematurely or were not dry
enough to be safe from frost kill
ing. There is also great danger
of loss in viability when the seed
corn is selected from the crib at
planting time. The termination
test Of such corn is frequently
very low. If the seed is gathered
early and stored properly the ger
mination will be high in the
spring

With as motley crew as ever
swabbed a deck or consumed salt
horse" the Narwahl started out FIVE
months ago on two years cruise
which was to have been a combined
trading expedition, movie-taking
jaunt and treasure hunt. Each of her
crew subscribed $4,000 toward the ex-
penses of the trip. and I'm return was
given a rating OF supercargo and a
promise of equality with the captain
and bucko mate-in all things.
The big objective of the trip was
to be an island In the Solomon group,
where a Ealf million dollars, pre-
sumed to have been buried by two
German planters during the world
war, was to be dug. up. The plans
were complete. even to the taking of
two Germans who claimed to have
buried the coin. The NarWahl ~also
carried press agent, a movie pho
