carried on during the summers of
1910 and 1871 by the Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in co-opera-
ton with the General Electric Com
pany in determining what attracts
the insects and how to minimize their
numbers.
Since people ordinarily use neither
red nor blue lamps for illumination,
the effects of more usual mediums,
white and amber, were studied. If
you light your porch with amber light
instead of the ordinary inside-frost-
ed white bulb, you will be bothered
less as you read the evening paper,
for an amber light, of equal candle
power and brightness to a white lamp
will reduce the number of insects at
tracted approximately so per cent.
A bare, bright lamp will extend
the most cordial invitation to the
tiny insects to fly through the mesh
es of the screen and enjoy free meal
at your expense. The danger of be-
ing "eaten up alive" may be mini
mfzed too by using a reflector on
your lamp, or by using a protector
type lamp.
