THE PESTn*NCK THAT FLDETH t IN DARKNESS" By Chaiies A. Swain, Jr. (Editor's note: Below is printed" an t essay by Charles Swain, a graduate of the Class of 1921, which was deliv- ^ ered by him at the commencement ex- ^ erases . of the'High School held re- ^ cently. This article merjted the -pub- t lie thanks of the mosquito commis- ^ sion and is published here to show ^ the work that they are doing, the ne- t cessity for it, and their methods in ( exterminating "The Pfctilence that ^ in Darkness." _ t t The World-'s War is over. So it is. c And so is the .Revolutionary war. .But did you ever stop to realize that there t is a war involving many of the great t nations of the world still going on. < This war is going on in Ireland as i well as in other countries. The ene- ! | my uses absolutely ruthless methods. ; ; They have undoubtedly the largest I ■ and best quipped flying squadron in i , the world, which attacks our sailors ] ! like pirates of old. They neither use i ; bricks nor. German gas bet their knifing methods are unexcelled. The , United States Secret Service with no , great effort has found several en- , I campments of the enemy in N?w Jer-- j sey. Indeed they have been encoun- . ! tered in vast herds. While the ruth- , t less and inimitable multiudes sometimes skirmidh In daylight their mass . : attacks are usually made at night t when they are so relentless that truly . they may be called, "The. pestilence' . i that flieth in darkness." The pestiferr ous warriors are none ether than our r friendly enemies the mosquitoes. . Since the cantonments of the mosi quito have been located and found to ■ be principally in bur beloved State we ■ fiave begun to mobilize our forces to ; ; defeat the dread enemy if not annihi- ■ late it This started almost twenty years . ago when a small band of far-seeing r men in Essex county started the lit- • tie wave of interest in the question of Mosquito Extermination. These - men believed in ridding the State of ' the greatest drawback to its advancement — the mosquito. Today New Jersey, which was the most despised in the Union for mos- - io the most advanced in their doubt be the first to be free* from this pest. 1 Mosquito Extermination Commissions have sprung up throughout the State and from these places the work is conducted. Now when one sees a few mosquitoes, the question arises, i "Of what use is the Mosquito ComI lize how" this pest invaded Cape May j mission?" Did you ever stop to rea- . in the past years? Let me quote you • a few" instances: t Early in July, 1903, the proprietor i of the Sewell's Point House, "swept , I mosquitoes out of his robm where . they had collected during the night to i : a depth of nearly an inch." | In the same year mosquitoes cot1 | lected on the Side of the Sea Breeze . ! Excursion . House to such an extent j that the paint on the wall could not I I be Seen, causing the wall to appear \\ black. « , i Guests, during meal hours, at the ! Sea Breeze House at this time, had ! to -weSr" small masks to prevent diS| gesting moquitoes with their fcod. I Do these conditions exist today? j No! Then does it not occur to you i, . that the Mosquito Commission has , done some good? — { The work is now well under control , . and it is prophesied that within five ; years New Jersey will be practically . . "Mosquitol.ess." The w-Ork done how- 1 i ever, is found perplexing as to the , j various species that are' found. This . . j problem can be solved only by a careI ful study of "Life Histories" of the r mosquitoes. This has been carried I I further in New Jersey than in any , | other part of the country, thus it has , 1 been found that ninety-five per cent. i of the insects that trouble us are bred , ! on the three hundred thousand acres . 1 of marsh that lie behind the coastal j beaches^and border the waterways.; . ThesjWwtnk, however, are not disease t beating bunion favorable winds they . , fly \ps far ik forty miles. -They are . , actitaby /dayXand. by night, and are , a i>noymgf^ieny\ through their great , numbers. 7*""" ' I , Thero^are fqpr principle types of , mosquitoes that prevail in Cape. May County. First-, the Aedes Sollicitans or the salt marsh mosquito'. They' breed in: shallow water,. anA sweep over the entire county in countless millions. - Their extrelhe flight Is about forty miles. _ ' Second, The Culex Pipiens, or com1 mon house mosquito. They breed in either fresh or brackish water, clean ; or foul. Screens cannot keep -them out. Their extreme flight is only six , 5 miles. j . j Third, the Aeries Sylvestris, or the . fresh water swamp mosquito. These breed in dean fresh water. Their ex-

treme flight is ten mile*. * Fourth, the Anaphilea Qvadrimaca- « latns, or the malaria -carrying house f" mosquito. These breed m clean fresh « water, and their extreme flight is just a miles. The fight against mosquitoes is — a war of extermination against t an enemy with a record of thousands | of years of triumphant victories over .the human race- The reason for our defeats has been due to the crude method of warfare practiced by the human race. Until very recently j every man, wqnu® and child was his her own mosquito exterminator, using the "swat the fly" method on the back of the' neck, ankle, face or other exposed bit of the human body. These has always been a great mysabout the wonderful defense against mosquitoes namely, the You no doubt, found that you f and the mosquitoes were, on the same 1 side of the screen most of the time. the mosquitoes are so f thick that Tor comfort a- screen is ab- ' solutely necessary. Even _ with this protecting one the victories of the ' mosquitoes are far from "bloodless." ( While the suffragist and antis ar- , gue over a voting woman's obligation bear arms, there is no such debate ( amongst "mosquitoes. The mosquito | army is composed entirely of females , ■ — "the female of the specie is more , deadly than the male." ] As the mosquito is found to be such • a pest, let "us examine the different 1 Btages of a mosquko. The mosquito ] I at first lays its eggs on stagnant water. These eggs varying from two : ' hundred , to four hundi-ed at a time are laU side by side, and 'float uprigtyjton the surface of thg water in the shape of a small, black, oval raft. ' If weather conditions are favorable 1 the eggs will hatch "within a few Murs to larvae or "Wigglers." Then, the mosquito stxys in this stage for about a week feeding on small plants 1 in the stagnant water. ' From this larvae stage the mos- ' quito turns into the pupae stage. In 1 this stage of its development it cor- ! responds to the cocoon of the hutterfly. In a few days the pupae shell cracks and the adult m'osquito emer- • ges. The entire prness from egg to ! adult, takes from six to seven days ' to two weeks, depending on thetemj uerature. fore ttf develop is a small bit water that will remain undisturbed- for ; about Wo weeks. c There are about fifty thousand 1 acres of marshes and swamps in New Jersey, so you can easily see how so . many mosquitoes ^gjow in. New' Je r* I sey. However, the Mosquito Com- . mission is now combatting against , these pests, and many of these jarge lowlands are now being drained. In r Cape May County the Mosquito O mt mission is draining all Salt Ma.-sh , Lowlands. This is done by , digging' , ditches twenty-eight inches deep and ten inches wide "through the marsh; these small ditches are two hupdiel , feet apart and run into another ditch t two feet wide and twenty-eight or |. more inches deep; then this -ditch in f .turn meets a larg'e ditch or sometimes a creek which carries away the « wateiV By this method the marsh is ] well drained end as there is then no . stagnant water left, the mosquitoes find no place to hreel. With thece > precautions taken most of the breed,jing mosquitoc are killed but yet 5 iracy mosquitoes breed in old tomato I cars, bits of crockery, and other ieI *eptacles careless •;/ left in the back , ' yards of houses. Therefore every , householder should cooperate by .[cleaning up his own' back yard to rid , himself of the- mosquito pests. 5 No one can doubt the value of mos- • quito control to Cape; May County. : The Whole* prosperity of the County 1 depends on two things. First, its der sirability as a summer resort and 5 second, its agricultural value. Pract . tically every industry or occupation I in' the County depends on one of those ! ' two things: '! Mm 1 Thousands of people vj«it^7'fam- , ' pus resorts every summer and it is , from these people that the larger , part of the revenue of the county is , derived. It is only natural that they t sh'dhld expect to have protection from I the mosquito pest, knowing as they f do, that' the control of motiquitoes is j no longer a theory but a proven fact. 1 When the, work of draining the marsh 5 1 lands of the County has been omjj pleted, a flight of mosquitoes will be , a rare thing. This -will be the great: " ' est boon that Cape May County has f ever had and will, no doubt, in a short time double the number of sum- . mer visitors. * - j When all the work, which is j now planned, is done against, mosqui- , • toes Gpipe May will be free of these c biting" pesto- .y". ' The dread enatiy is retreating. Let , ! us keep np the fight until the last e swamp, meadow, marsh and ditch is . taken and the last mosquito has sur-
