FACTS ON MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION WORK The mosquito problem of New Jersey u from that of the other states, ll which have a similar climate, in that h it has, quite in addition to the ordinary fresh-water mosquitoes, several species that breed enormously over "er salt marshes and fly and are wind carried adjacent upland for. long distances, sometimes reaching points 40 miles from place of breeding. A number of other states have costal salt marsheand are greatly troubled by salt marsh mosquitoes but the trouble has not been severe over, areas of large poputa- v tion, and public interest has nqt been sufficiently aroused to "initiate meas--of control on a l»rge scale. The people in New- York, Jersey City, and in easy reach of the salt mar-h mosquitoes, which were- hred' on th1" marshes of long -Island, Staten- Island, j Newark Bay, andthe Ijackensaek River, ' these, salt marsh bred pests so forcibly to the attention; of people who ' were accustomed to victories -over na- ' ture that the idea of -eliminating the- 1 pest met a fluick ^espoqee., , j As la usually-tbe case the need brought 1 forth the man, and Dr. J, B. Smith un- I dertook ahd carried out an investigation, 1 which brought to light the basiciicts of : the pests' natural history all* pafnt'd 1 out the way by wjiich tfje scoutge mi'.-it j eliminated. It was again shown that ■ ' all mosquitoes pass through four distinct ] ' and necessary stages— the adult mos--uifo, the egg, the larva or wriggler, and ■

the pupa — and that the wriggler stage I must have water in which to develop or I it cannot exist. It thus appeared that I all the water on the salt marshes I removed or rendered unhabitable j the wriggler the salt marsh mosquito must 'cease to exist. Because previous efforts to control injurious animals had shown how difficult it is to kin the seed of any living form, no thought of Comlete eradication was entertained. It however, thought perfectly practicable to bring the pest under control but to do even this much it was recognized that the utmost efforts must be made to eliminate the water in which the wrigglers live. - ' WWH01 On the salt marshes it was found that trenching the marsh in such a fashior to cause all the water on it to ebl and flow with the tide would eKminatr the breeding, because this condition drag ged the wrigglers about drying anc drowning many and permitted their vo racious natural enemy, the killifish, t< penetrate all parts of the marsh and t< devour them. After many trials ditch ten inches wide and thirty inches dee] with strong tidal outlets weri settled upon as the most practicabh type of drain for this work. A considerable percentage of the tota salt marsh is covered every few dayi by a high tide and therefore does not eneed drainage. To state this percent accurately is not at this lime possi but in some counties it is about 2i cent of the total marsh. " About 67,000 acres of the 296, 00( i have' had the mosquito-breeding portion; treated in this manner at a total cos of about one-quarter of a million dol In the course of this work it hai become evident: (1) both the necessary rapid removal of the water end propel i_ scouring out of the ditches requiri strong tidal outlets; (21 no 10-inch widi i ditch having only one outlet 6hould b< ; over one-fourth of a mile long;. (3) al salt pools except possibly the very larg , est which are really permanent shoulc . connected with the ditches; (4) al salt marsh areas on which the watel always lies — cattail swampa— are to b< tfton with suspician for moat o: them dry tjp aufficiently at "time* durin] • the 'wumtt^rifo ejCpoee 4%n*i#J.>>t . torn for lovjpositio nand many which 11 aa to brfced the common house mosquito

,3) no matter how good the drainage sy4em is .there are some time in the year \vhe»,iome breeding will mature unless the marsh is patrolled throughout breeding season and all such residual breeding ffretroyed.
