MONEY FOR STATE FORESTS AND PARKS
Big Reduction in Amount Is Likely to Be Provided
 This Year
MUCH MORE NEEDED

New Haven, May 1.-The appro- priations committee of the general
 assembly have recommended unpre- cedented cuts in appropriation for state forests and parks, according
 to statement by E. M. Ross, secre- tary of the Connecticut Forest ana
 Park association. These reductions in appropriations, continues MT
 Ross, come at time when condi- tions warrant an extension of work
 along forestry and park lines, rather than curtailment.
 If the recommendations of the ap- propriations committee are accepted by the general assembly, the com-
 mission on forests and wild life will receive only $50.000 for the acquisi- tion of state forests This is but
 one quarter of the amount request
 ed and only one-half of the amount
 recommended by the budget com
 mittee. Connecticuts state forest purchase program calls for at least 100000 acres of state forests. Ap- proximately 57,000 acres have been acquired to date. Appropriations for forest acquisition are investments which pay the people of Connecu- cut good dividends along the lines of watershed protection and recrea- tion. Furthermore, these forests,
 which are necessary for the general welfare of the state, will yield 1n- creasing financial returns through timber production.
 The state forester appropriation
 called for $25,O00 year for road building on state forests and this Item has been cut to $5,000, one-fifth Iof the original request.
 Last spring forest fires in Con |necticut burned over 55,S66 acres Of forest land and this loss might have been greatly reduced if sufficient forest roads were. available. With
 out forest roads flrefghters lose
 much time in reaching the scene of a fire and this delay results in larger and more disastrous fires.
 The appropriations committee have for state parks the sum of $353,734, which is twenty
 five per cent less than the amount requested in the budget. During the
 present biennium the total appro-
 priation is $510.144 and therefore
 the committee recommends 30 per
 cent cut in the present appropria- ton. There are two bills for shore
 parks which have not yet been re-
 ported by the appropriations com
 mittee. one of these calls for S125.-
 900 for the acquisition of land and development of state park at
 Rocky Neck in the town of East
 Lyme, and the other calls for an A appropriation of $250.0OO Tor acauisition of land and development of the Sherwood Island State Park in the town of Westport.

for mosquito breeding places and 6S were found; nine others were near this area. The average was two breeding places to a block. On For est street Il different yards had re- ceptacles that produced mosquitoes.
 A species that in some localities carries malaria, Anopheles puncu- pennis, was one of the mosquitoes most commonly found. However. no cases of malaria were reported in New Canaan, so it is generally be- lieved Anopheles punctipennis does not spread the disease in Connecti- cut. Anopheles quadrimaculatus, which is known to carry malaria, breeds under similar conditions, but has not been found here.
 Experiments are underway to find native fish that will be an effective destroyer of the mosquito larvae. The application of oil on the ponds throughout the town is objection able in many cases, Mir Hart said. The common killifish has been in- troduced in the hope of solving the problem.
 The filter beds of the town water supply system constitute the most

Mosquito Breeding
 Due To Carelessness
Second Annual Report From Control Area in New
 Canaan Finds This Generally the Case

New Haven, May 4.-Mosquito- breeding in inland towns is promoted to large extent by the carelessness of residents, it is revealed in the second annual report on control of the pest in New Canaan. The report was made by Raymond F. Hart, deputy of the Connecticut Agricul- tural Experiment Station, in charge of the work. He recommends that inspection of backyards is necessary to all future mosquito campaigns.
 In this cooperative project be- tween the town and the station. New Canaan is regarded as the laboratory for study of mosquito control in inland towns.
 'The results of my work here for the past two seasons show that backyard breeding is a factor of the highest importance" MT Hart wrote. 1.-TWO breeding places per block is high average and denotes |carelessness on the part of the resi-: dents; inspection of backyards is a necessary rart of all future mos- quito campaigns"
 | Almost all of the backyards within la radius of one mile were inspected
