application of a few tons per acre
will always greatly Improve the crop.
If the celery la to be blanched by

used each set of double rows should
be six feet wide and the plants set six
inches apart each way. This system
of planting will require about twenty
seven thousand plants per acre. When
the plants are set in double rows and
blanched by boards, each set of double
rows should be four feet wide and the
plants set six inches apart each
way. This method will require about
forty-four thousand plants per acre.
If the plants are set In single rows
and blanched by boards, the rows are
marked off three feet apart and the
plants set four Inches apart. This
method requires practically the same
number of plants to set an acre as
the double row system, but requires
about seven thousand square feet of
boards more per acre than the double
row method of planting.

SCREEN YOUR HOME
A6AWIIIA
Disease Transmitted by One Kind of
Mosquito May Be Avoided by
Screen and Other Pre
cautions.
Atlanta, Go. —That screens and
mosquito nets are an absolutely ef
fective safeguard against malaria, and
that II proper precautions were gen
erally taken the disease would be
come practically extinct tb Georgia
within a few months, la declared hy
the Georgia State Board of Health.
So far as Is known to modern medi
cine, the only means by which malaria
can enter the body is through the bite
of a certain kind eg mosquito.
The scientific name of the matarta!
mosquito is “Anopheles,” which means
in English “harmful” or “dangerous,”
It Is shown in Figure 1 accompanying
this article, and is easily recognizable
by the fact that It always stands on
its head, so to speak, with Its body
stuck up at right angles to whatever
it has alighted on.
The common mosquito, on the other
hand, as shown in Figure 2, has a
body bent In the middle with each end
pointing down toward the object on
which It has alighted. The ordinary
mosquito alights in the attitude of any
common fly or bug, while the malarial
mosquito always arights head down
ward and tail stuck straight up. Thus
they are easily distinguishable.

ANOPHELES CULEX
(Malarial Mosquito.) (Common Mosquito.)
Malaria was known to the ancients
and as early as 500 B. C. the relation
between marshes and swamps and
malaria was recognized. Until very
recently it was believed that the dis
ease was usually contracted by breath
ing bad, or miasmatic, air from marsh
es and stagnant pools, but in 1880 a
French army surgeon, named Laveran,
discovered the parasite which causes
the disease, and in 1898, Ross, of Eng
land, proved that these parasites are
carried by the malarial mosquito. This
disproved the bad air theory.
May Breed Almost Anywhere.
Furthermore, the malarial mosquito
dofes not have to come from a swamp.
It can breed in your own attic, or
your cellar, or your stable. The first
time it happens to bite sombody who
is already suffering from the disease,
it sucks up a quantity of the malarial
parasites, which breed in 'its body.
Then, when it subsequently bites other
healthy persons it transmits these par
asites to them.
The malarial mosquito is pre-qmi
nently a house creature, scarcely
seen in the woods or open, but pfesent
in great numbers in dark corners of
rooms or stables in all malarial local
ities. This mosquito bites only In the
dark. It then goes back to some dark
corner where it remains quiescent for
48 hours, at the end of which time it
again descends to feed. Contrary to
general opinion, mosquitoes bite many
times and frequently remain alive for
months, sometimes throughout the en
tire winter.
The malarial parasites which the
mosquito has sucked up breed in its
body and make their way to Its venom
gland. Then they are injected into the
body of the person whom the mosquito
bites, just as poison is injected by the
bite of a snake. After they get into
the human blood, the parasites attack
the red blood cells and multiply wlih
Incredible rapidity. Then the new
subject of tfte disease becomes a
source of danger to others through the
Intervention of still other malarial
mosquitoes.
Importance of Screens.
It is therefore obvious, says the
State Board of Health, that the way.
to avoid malaria Is to screen houses so
that mosquitoes cannot enter them.
Persons In malarial districts should
not sit on open porches at night, and
should be careful to sleep under prop
erly constructed nets. If a home is
protected adequately against mosqui
toes. there is absolutely no danger of
catching the disease. It can be trans
mitted ia no other way.
Persons who already have the dis
ease should be equally careful not to
be bitten by mosquitoes, as every mos
quito which bites them becomes a,
source of danger to other people. It
1s furthermore their duty to have the
disease treated vigorously under the
direction of a competent physician.
In malarial districts many children
have malaria without showing symp
toms; If they are allowed to sleep
without being covered by a net, they
may infest a larger cumber of malarial
mosquitoes. The bleod of children in
malarial localities should be from time
to time examined, and if the parasites
be found they should be treated until
a cure Is effected.
The Btate Board of Health calls
particular attention to the fact that al
most all negroes in malarial localities
harbor the parasites, though very few
of them show symptoms of their pres
ence. It Is therefore very important
that they be treated properly, and
their white neighbors should see to it
for their own safety that they do not
sleep in houses unprotected by nets.
KILLTHE FLIES SAYS
TIE STATE BOARD
Screen Your Houses) and Cover Up
Filthy Places Where the Flies
Breed and Feed.
Atlanta, Ga.—The house-fly will
eventually become as extinct as the
mastodon and dinosaurus. If people
will only wake up to the realization
of what a horribly dangerous and
filthy thing the fly te, declares the
Georgia State Board of Health.
Despite its tiny size, the common
fly la a monster Infinitely more deadly
than any of the extinct beasts of pre
historic times. The house-fly to death’s
advance agent. There are about 12
varieties of fliee known in Georgia,
but they are all alike tb the respect
that they carry disease.
The moat common fly of all is
the ordinary house-fly, called the
mu sea domsstlca by scientists —and
by various other names by the bald
headed man. This fly, familiar to eve
rybody. comprises about 98 per cent,
of the flies found In garbage cans,
dining rooms, stables, kitchens and
so on. The remaining two per cent,
of flies in Georgia Is principally made
up of the blue-bottle fly, sometimes
called the blow fly or meat fly. But
they are all dlseasg breeders alike.
The fly has the most filthy habits of
any living creatureu He doesn’t care
where he gets his meals or what he
eats. He had just as soon eat the
bread and vegetables and meat on
your plate, and he had equally as soon
have some nauseating and unspeaka
ble kind of filth —which is Just where
the trouble lies. If the fly would stick
to either kind of diet, he would not
be so dangerous. But the trouble Is
a fly will make part of his meal on
some abominable refuse and a minute
afterwards, unless you keep him from
it, will fly in through your window and
make his dessert on your Jam or rice
pudding, or on the baby’s milk bottle.
He will wipe his dirty feet on it and
leave the disease germs he brought
from filth.
You can see a rattlesnake or a lion,
but unfortunately you can’t see the
deadly germs that the fly has smeared
on your food. You will go ahead and
eat it, germs, filth and all, and by so
doing you take your life In your hands.
The health germs in your body may
kill the disease germs and they may
not. If they don’t, illness or death Is
your portion.
Not Theories, But Facts.
In the hot summer, when files are
most plentiful, the average person’s
constitution is more or less run down
and offers less resistance to disease
germs. If the public could just be
made to realize that these are not
theories and mere words, says the
State Hoard of Health, but that they
are actual facts, and that one fly light
ing on your food is a deadly abomina
tion, such a sentiment would be arous
ed as to eventually exterminate the
fly and to save untold niysery and Ill
ness and death in human beings.
For a hen to lay two hundred eggs
during the course of three hundred
and sixty-five days is considered pret
ty good, but for a fly to lay one hun
dred egsg during the course of one
day is nothing unusual. In fact, it is
stated by the United States govern
ment expert that a fly lays the aver
age of one hundred and twhnty eggs
at a time, and that each female fly
lays four such batches. Tills expert
also states that these eggs hatch out
Into magots and become full grown
flies In ten days and begin to lay eggs
themselves and raise up families.
Flies won’t sit on their eggs to
hatch them; they are too busy carry
ing disease around to waste time that
way. And, besides, in times past they
have always found that human beings
were willing to look after these lit
tle details for them by leaving horse
manure around, by letting garbage
cans stay open, and by leaving other
filth and refuse uncovered. So all
the time the fly loses is In laying the
eggs in such places. The heat of the
sun, or th/heat generated in the man
ure jlile, will do thfc rest.
In times to come, however, and that
not very far off, the Hoard predicts
that the fly is going to find tfbat hu
man beings have gotten wise to ills
murderous ways and have all screened
their houses against him and have
built sanitary privies and have screen
i ed the manure piles and learned to
keep garbage cans, slop barrels and
other refuse dontalners covored or
screened.
Method* of Killing Him,
In the meantime, the State Board of
Health earnestly calls on the Indi
vidual people of Georgia and on the
health officials of towns and cities to
do their share of this Important work.
Every time a fly lights on your food,
remember where he may have come
from.
The State Board of Health gives the
following three suggestions as prac
tical and serviceable in killing flies;
Fly Poison.—Dissolve one drachm of
bichromate of potash In two ounces of
water; add sugar or honey. Place In
a saucer where children cannot get to
It, as it is slightly poisonous. The
; flies drink it and quickly die.
Another effective fly poison is made
by placing a teaspoonful of formalin
i In a saucer of water, to which milk
i or sugar or honey has been added.
This should also be placed out of
reach of children, as it is likewise
somewhat poisonous.
To Make Fly Paper—Boll two
pounds of ordinary rosin In a pint of
castor oil and apply with a brush to
the paper or to any surface desired
jto be used to catch flies. This makes
1 an excellent and effective fly paper.
