THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL VOLUME TWENTY-FIVE 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.

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. l Beware Falls. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” said the man who believes in the old maxims. “Yes,” agreed the one who makes up new ones as he goes along, “and the higher the proof the better the eating.”—American Le gion Weekly.
