One Mosquito Will Produce
Million in Single Month
Dangerous Pests Medical Ex-
pertS Claim

"a single mosquito playing about
in the month of June will, in the
natural course of events, produce a
million or more ferocious, blood
seeking, disease spreading mosqui-
toes by late August" says the bull
letin of the Minnesota State Medi-
cal Association issued today.
The time to attack the mosquito
problem is obviously, not in Aug
ust but in June and, for the most
part the persons to do it are the
home owners.

within few hundred feet there is

Within two weeks after such bred

Elopments, but that the movement
toward consolidation of holdings
and farm operations has not grown
markedly.
The Importance of the subject, he
says, is mainly in its potentialities.
The potentialities are as varied
as the views concerning large scale
farming. The economy Of mercha-
nized agriculture, the last great in
dustry to utilize power, is rarely
questioned.
But in some quarters it is feared
as the beginning of farming on a so
highly industrialized scale that the
individual farmer who for three
centuries has felt the "independ-
ence" of his own little empire,
would not be able to compete.
There is an undertone of special
ization running through the picture
a practice long condemned by ex,
perts.
Whatever further consolidation
there is to be in farms is expected
in the great plains, where large
scale Operations are more practic-
able, leaving place for smaller op-
orators where power in such large
units cannot be used.

citronella will keep them away, but
only as a temporary measure and
spirits of camphor, lemon juice or
vinegar will give mild relief from
their sting.
"A mixture Of crude oil and kero-
sene sprayed over puddles and
ponds and swampy ground will kill
the mosquito larvae when they
come up to breathe. It is an ef-
fective measure for small pools
that cannot be drained though it is
advisable to find out before spray
ing larger pools if they are actual
ly breeding places or not.
"Skimming the surface of the
water with a white dipper will tell
the tale if it is done carefully so
as not to frighten the larvae who
swim about, generally, at the top
Of the water. The brown and black
larve of the mosquito show clearly
against the white of the dipper.
Fish are efficient mosquito de-
stroyers, too, if they are given a
chance. Banks of ponds, rarticu-
larly should be cleared of long
grass, cat tails and f1oatage so
that fish can swim close to shore
and destroy the wiggle tails.
"The embryo or egg stage of the
mosquito laying from 40 to 200 at

wiggle tail embryos that wriggle
around in their little puddles for a
week or so and shortly become the
adult winged mosquitoes who live
sometimes for 120 days and never
travel far from the place where
they were born.
Small children and infants are
the choicest morsels of these vora-
cious insects" the bulletin con-
cludes," and for their sakes, even
though they escape any virulent
