The Approaching
Mosquito Season
Qenior Sanitary Engineer J.
A. LePrince of the U. S. Public
Health Service who because of
his long experience fighting'
mosquitoes and mosquitoes-born ‘
diseases isas well qualified as
any one to speak on this subject,
makes the following comment
and suggestions relative to the‘
approaching mosquito season in |
the South: ‘
It is pleasing to note the in
creased inteyest aund activity
developing in many places with
regard to mosquito control.
For many yecars we have been
satisfied with the partial protec
tion from the mosquito pest ob
tained by screening our houses.
But the public are evidently no
longer satisfied to pay fifty mil
lion dollars a year to be driven
behind screens and in many lo
calities they have not only de
cided that the pestiferous and
disease bearing mosquito must
go, but are actually eliminating
both species. In one southern
state over two hundred commun
ities were busy last year with
mosquito elimination.
Last month the propagation
season of the malaria conveying
mosquito began again in the
southern portion of the Gulf
States and within the next sixty
days while the farmers are busy
p}:fiting their crops, the mosqui
toés will be busy planting mos
quito eggs in such stagnant
water as they can find w thin
flight range of your home,
In many localities the public
are now ready for mosquito pro
tection, and in fact, paying for
partial screen protection, but
they do not get together and
discuss their local mosquito pro
blem and determine just what
it is. Nobody steps to the front
to see that a proper start is made,
What sort of 2 mosquito pro
blem have you in the community
in which you live? Some small
communities in rural districtsare
worrying along with a high sick
rate and discomforts that are
not at all necessary and which
cost more to support than to eli
minate. Your state Health De
partment has trained mosquito

|Georg|a a Butter
Producing State
Georgia has turned over a new
leaf on the butter question and
has gone in for making her own
butter on a big scale. The state,
which once imported millions of
pounds of butter annually, is
changing to a state that is ship
ping butter in large quantities,
according to the state agricul
tural department.
Itis said that one Georgia
creamery that made more butter
in January of this year that was
made in the entire state during
the year 1920 is shipping high
scoring butter to six states.
In 1920 Georgia ranked num
ber 45 among the 43 states listed
according to the number of
pounds of butter made in fac
tories. At that time Georgia
was buying annually 10,000,000
lpounds of butter from other
states.
Many sections of the state are
today making butter enough in
the local creameries to supply
local needs, besides shipping but
ter to other parts of the state
and to neighboring states.
Georgia creamery men, it was
stated today, are unanimous in
attributing to the disappearance
of the cattle tick a large part of
‘the program that is being made
in changing the state. But on
the other hand, the dairymen, if
it is pointed out, are learning
better methods. They are learn
ing that while there may be no
adequate market for such pro
duce as hay, velvet beans and
other food stuffs, yet it pays to
produce these things and turn
them into butter.
