MOSQUITO FIG H I ID COST JUST 15
 CENTS PER CAPITA
Dr. Bowling Calls Campaign Greatest Undertaking Since Cleaning Up of Panama
 Canal Zone

Following initial steps toward in- auguraling a mosquito eradication campaign in Birmingham, taken at a meeting of the board Of directors of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning, Dr. J. D. Dowling, city and county health officer, issued a state ment in which he declared that the cost of such a campaign would be ap- proxlmately Ia cents per capita and that if it is launched it will be the largest undertaking of it's kind, ex- elusive of government work during the war since the cleaning up Of the Panama Canal zone by General Cor gas.
 Dr. Bowling pointed out that the estimated cost for the work in Bir- lningham is less than the average cost for 45 cities in which work was done in 1920 by the government CO., operating with the various states and the international health board. Figures for 1921 are not available, he said, but the average per capita cost for the towns and cities in which work was carried on the pre- ceding year was IS cents, and the cost per square mile $S0S. Estimated
 
 be less than $400 per square mile or 60 cents an acre.
 'grhe effectiveness of anti-mosquito work was viyidly Illustrated last fall" said Dr. Bowling, when 30,000 people protected by such work in the villages of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, did not suf- fer q single case of dengue fever as compared to the thousands reported in Birmingham and the many thou sands not reported because no doctor treated them. Important also is the increased comfort derived from free dom from mosquitoes, and the in creased property values resulting from such work.
 .-"The eradication of mosquitoes from She community should be of particular interest to every citizen, both old and young, and the sue cess of the campaign will require the fullest cooperation on the part cf the public.
 Cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce in the mosquito elimina- tion campaign was pledged by the board of directors Tuesday afternoon and a committee named at request of City Health Officer pr. Bowling to act with him. The committee represents a variety of interests and activities, one member being Mrs. Angus Taylor, president of the Axis club. The committee follows: G. Se- vier, J. C. De Holl, R. L. Totten, Mrs. Angus Taylor, Oscar Wells. J. l.. Chappell, George L. Bailes, Rev. Robert Simpson, pr. Scale Harris and Dr. c. B. Glenn.

Farm Bureau Notes

In some instances there seems to
be some slight misunderstanding as
to the relationship between the local
l'atm Bureau and the boys and girls
clubs in agriculture and home econo-
mics in the same community.
Club work is being conducted IL,
this county. as in all other counties
i'll the State. by the Agricultural EX-
tension Service and the Farm Bureau
il 90 operation. a written agreement
to this effect is included in the county
program of work and signed by both
parties.
The members of the local Farm Blu
rcahs discuss this project annually at
theic program planning meetings and
vote upon it. If they wish to do club
work they so vote and thus include
* id their local program for the year.
n Cub project leader is then chosen
WHO has full charge of the work in
the community, is responsible to the
mclhbers for it's success, is a member
of the Farm Bureau community COM
mitfee and reports results to the Farm,
Bureau at the end of the year.
Thus the boys and girls club is as
much a part of the local Farm Bu-
reap program as a fireless cooker
campaign. or a poultry culling dem
onstratlon. and the members should
staHd ready at all times to render any
possible assistance to the local lead
tHS and the club members,-Eenne-
