Striking Results of Malaria-Control I n Two Arkansas Towns.
All‘ operations were under the super

was exercised to eliminate all unnec-

elimination of the last mosquito, but a
reasonably high degree of control at a
minimum cost.
"The first conspicuous result appar-

of the mosquito as a post. The reduc

Secretary Meredith Urges Develop-

New Fields and More Adequate
Support of Forest Service
. Activities.
WASHINGTON, p. 0.. April 27.~~
Greater-woe of the vast forest resourc-
es of the Pacific Northwest and Alas—
ka. and the growing of much more
timber in New England and the Lake
States, were advocated by E. T. Mere-l
dflh. Secretary of Agriculture, in a let-
ter to the American Pulp and Paper '
Association, read at a meeting of that
body which closed in New York city,
April 15th. Such a program, the sec.-
retary said, will promote a permanent
solution of the newsprint problem and
is in accord with constructive meas-
ures now brim: zidvocated, including.
the proposed J’oindcxtcr pulp survey,
provided for in a bill now pending in,
the Senate.
Essentials in this program. the sec-
retary said, were the «ontinuation 01 .

resort must be. had to the screening of
houses. Says Dr. Rue:
"it has been shovn by demonstra-
tion that under conditions that make
the. cost of mosquito control prohibi-
tive, it is still possible to reduce the
malaria rate by the screening of
houses. by the systematic administra-
tion or immunizing quinine, and by do»
tcctlng the human carriers and de—
stroylnl,r the parasites in their blood.
"in order to test the efficiency and
the cost of screening as a control
measure. a ileld experiment was con
ducted in 1916 on a. group of cotton
plantations near‘lrake Village, Ark.
rThe community. which lay along the
shore of Cblcot Lake. had an abund-
ant supply of anOpbelcs and a high

these plantations were typical negro

obstructions; and they were trained
to a. narrow channel, thus providing
an unobstructed off-flow. Artificial
containers were removed from premi-
ses: water barrels on bridges were
treated'with niter cake. All remain-
ing breeding places were regularly
treated by removing vegetation. open-
ing up shallow margins to give free

protect against entrance by mosqui-
toes. All selected houses were screen-
ed with galvanized wire cloth, sixteen
mesh, the work being carciully done
by carpenters and without cost to the
tenants. The neopie' were taught by
houseto~house visits the importance
or keeping the screens in good condi-
tion and the dangers, of exposure to
mosquitoes on "the outside after dark.
Each home was .spccted at regular
L-intervals throughout. the season. No
other measure was employed.
“An index taken in May; 1916. when
the work began, showed im'ini'eetion
of 11.97 per cent: afsecond index
itakcn in December of the same year
showed an inhction of 3.52 per cent,
a reduction of 70.6 per cent.
“On a visit. during the season of the
following year it was found that the
screens were. still in good repair and
that the people wore convinced of
“their value. The average cost of
crooning for the community 'wss
$14.59 per house. Estimating the life
of the screen at two years, the aver-
age annual cost would be $7.29. On
this basis the annual per capita cost of
the screening alone was $1.75."
Since all infected mosquitoes hays.
derived ‘their infection from the blood
of infected persons, it is theoretically
possible to prevent the spread of ina-
laria by destroying the parasites in'
the blood,“ the human carrier. The
measure, we are told, has been em-
ployed in German colonies with vary-
ing degrees of success. The way in
which this plan was tried in Sunflow-1
er county. Miss“ is thus described:
“The first step was to map the area.
locating roads, streams and homes; to
take a. census 0’! the population, and to
make a survey involving a record of
each person on the census roll. All
persons giving a history of clin ,
malaria within tWelre months and
those who were, found by blood mink

There- are. large rural arc-as, how-
ever, where contml of mosquito
breeding is. impossible; and malaria
is cssrntlally a. rural disease. Hort“
