. THE MOSQUITO EXTERMINATORThe Inspection mentioned in the Ust t number of the Exterminator was car- j ried out under extremely unfavorable ( r oondition- .At 9.00 a- m. rain was fall- j ing heavily snd again at 12.45 P. M. r ' heavy showers feU Neverthelres a , group of about Yorty men representing New York City and Bergen. Hudson. t [' pasaaic, &*•■*, Union. Middlesex %nd , Monmouth Counties of New Jersey made , the trip and «.v.v some of the principal , drainage works in PassAic, Bergen .and ; Hudson Counties. Following lunch in Newark the rain fell so heavily that the ] inspection in Essex and Union had to i be omitted. < Following the lunch brief addresses i were made by Dr. Haven Emerson, Dr. Jggob C. Lipman Dr. Ralph Hunt. Mr. ; M. B. Vannote, Mr. John W. Dobbins and Dr. Thomas J. Headlee. 1 Dr. Emerson absolved New Jersey : from the charge of furnishing Greater New York with its mosquito supply. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the season just closing had been the most successful of any . in the history of the work, that the protected areas in New Jersey taken as a whole had been wonderfully free from the ' pest, and the outlook for still better woek in the future was exceedingly j bright. ^ Essex fcmnty begah the task of fight- . ing all species of mosquitoes that troubled her people in 1912. Previous to that time the City of Newark and the state , experiment station had cut about 695,000 lineal feet of ditching on the salt marsh and various communities, notably South Orange, had made strenuous efforts to control the breeding of local fresh-water species. The Mosquito Commission has cut 350,000 lineal feet of narrow ditching, thus establishing about as complete a system as would have been necessary on an open meadow. T*he total acreage of the salt marsh is about 4000 and the drainage established amounts to about " . 261 feet per acre. Unfortunately the. railroads and roadways, which had been built over the marsh interfered to such I an extent with the natural outlets that this drainage system was found to be . inadequate. The question then became.' one of deciding whether great aud exi pensive outlets should be provided or ! whether the work begun by the railroads f , and roadways should be completed, all the inner section 'of the marsh shut off from the tide by dikes, and the rainfall L regiovcd by sluices and ttde gates. The - latter alternative was cfiosvn "and all the jjnclosed meadows have been thus - treated. One feature of particular in- ' terest is the practice of having such of the natural outlets as are still active and sewage-charged creeks and ditches freely open to the tide, preventing their waters from overflowing adjacent meadow by* building low dikes along their courses, and emptying the -surface water ana emptying toe -syriace »iwr

of the protected areas int^ tliem thru sluices which are guarded by side gates. . Another feature of especial interest is the type of treatment given to a section of high-lying open meadow the natural outlets of which were in good condition Here no dikes were built and the outlets were arranged through sluices guarded by tide gates. ft was realized that this drainage system was always liable to interruption and a regular patrol <rf the marsh is maintained throughout the breeding While the amount of attention given J to the salt marsh has been large the | upland has not been neglected. 1 The first year, fresh water mosquito ' •breeding i prevented in 32,486 different places. The fourth year the same operation was performed on 68.810 j places. This increase i« the result of increasingly careful work. Each year the trouble from mosqui- . toes bas, taking the county as a whole, decreased steadily until 1916 when the relative freedom from the pest has been injeed satisfactory. The decreases would have been more marked, especially during 1914 and 1915 if the breeding of the salt marsh speies in the .Hack en sack VaWJ. could have been prevented. The greater freedom of northeastern Essex in 1916, which by the way still leaves something to lie desired. is directly due to better drainage of the Hackensack marshes, recently I carri-d out by Hudson ami Bergen Ooiin[V ties, partioulurlv by the latter. A REMINISCENCE OF TENNYSON ! It is recorded that Tennyson once ( stayed at a little inn in Scotland. After j [S his departure another guest, who had' recognized him. asked the innkeeper: j ''Do you know who you had wi' you the other night?" "Naa. but he was a pleasant gentle- . man." , "It was Tennyson, the poet." "An' who may he be?" askedlhe landlord. "Oh, he is a writer o' verses aich as ye . see in the papers!"
