MOSQUITOES INCREASE
BETvEEN ROUNDS. SAY
AN ii MALARIA MEN
Complaints Reaching DR.. Cham
bliss and Police Authorities
Found Justified
STAGRANT WATER CAUSE
Times-Recorder Among Others
Guilty of Harboring Disease
Spreading Pests

The number of mosquitoes in
Americas is on the increase, says
Dr.. j. w Chambliss, 'notwithstand-
ing efforts of the authorities to
eliminate the disease-spreading pests
altogether. A careful check of the
number of sources of mosquitoes
discloses, DIR. Chambliss said today,
that residents are neglecting to
empty water containers about their
homes, with resultant increase in
the number Of mosquitoes and the
menace of malaria.
Numerous complaints reaching
the authorities are being investigat-
ed" DR. Chambliss said, "and it +
regrettable that the majority Of
these are found justified. One COM
plant was sent in by a neighbor Of
The Times Recorder and we found
in the rear of that building a large
barrel, partially filled with water in
which thousands Of mosquito larvae
had formed. This has been emptied,
as have many other similar contain
ers in all parts of Americas, but the
people must be careful if they want
to be well and keep well during the
summer months.
During the recent rainy spell,
many old barrels and wooden con
tanners 'swelled' so that they now
hold water. whereas they formerly
had cracks in them large enough to
let all of the water caught during
showers to escape. One young man
who painted his home several
months ago placed the emptied tins
in an old barrel which was found
filled with water and mosquito lar
vac by Officer Arlington Wednes-
day, after neighbors had complains
ed of the number of mosquitoes in
the neighborhood.
f'The greatest menace to the
health of the community is the tin
can filled with water, for mosqui-
toes do not travel far from where
they are Matched out. One ingenious
water container found recently by
the health authorities was the hol.
lowed limb of large oak shade
tree. In this literally millions Of
mosquito larvae were found, and
with its removal the number of
mosquitoes in the neighborhood was
reduced as if by magic. In another
neighborhood the authorities iare
now searching for a similar breed
ing place. They lslve not found this
as yet, but there is water contained
somewhere in the neighborhood,
where mosquitoes are breeding in
large numbers. Every foot of the
ground there has been carefully
searched for this source, and we
are now looking for water cache
somewhere in some of the shade
trees there.
Another menace is found in the
laxity with which householders arc
cutting their weeds. The health de-
partment asked that these be cut
away several weeks ago, but in
many parts of Americas this has
not yet been done. ANY householder
who is annoyed unduly by mosqui-
toes should report that fact either
to me or to Mr.. Arlington, or Chief |
of Police John Bragg, so that the
source of these mosquitoes may be
located and removed"

BOIL WEEVTL BEGINS
HEAVY DEPREDATIONS

SELMA, Ala, June 81. - The
boil weevil pest has already grown
to be a serious menace to the cot
ton crop, according to farmers. One
farmer living near Hazen says the
bugs have begun to eat the buds
and leaves on the young plant.
There are practically no young
hollis for them to feed on and while
the experts say that the weevil
eats nothing except the pulpy sub
stance in the young hollis, there
are those. who insist that he eats
the plant itself when he begins de-
Youring raids. On account of the
unprecedented rain an immense
crop of the weevils is predicted for
the season..
