DON'T ALLOW THE 'SKEETERS' TO BITE Mosquitoes are found in almost ev ery locality where there is an oppor tunity for them to breed, and the op portunity depends simply upon the presence at some time during the year of Btanding water. Mosquitoes have been more prevalent this year in Ore gon on account of the late high wa ter. The sloughs and standing back waters are excellent breeding places for mosquitoes. Although malaria is an uncommon disease in this state, if mosquito control is not given serious consideration it will undoubtedly be come more prevalent. The control and extermination of mosquitoes involves the application of many methods. There are, how ever, three principal methods for pre venting the breeding of mosquitoes. They are the draining of all standing water or stagnant water, destroying the mosquito larvae with a larvicide, and the planting of top minnows to eat the larvae. The mosquito can only be extermin ated by destroying all breeding places draining all standing water and marshes, and oiling all of the breed ing places every two or three weeks following high water. Three parts of kerosene to two parts of crude oil is a good mixture to use in a spray pump. One ounce of oil properly used will cover fifteen square feet. Pre vent breeding places by clearing the ditches of grasses and weeds, and do ing away with stagnant water. Wa ters which cannot be oiled should be treated with a larvicide. A good lar vicide made from tobacco can be pur chased Paris green is also used as a larvicide in the proportion of one part of Paris green to three parts of hydrated lime, soap stone, or dust. This is blown on the surface of the breeding place. Bodies of water which can neither be oiled nor treat ed with a larvicide can be kept free of mosquito larvae by stocking with top minnows Male mosquitoes are vegetarians. Kmale mosquitoes are the biters. The females have developed a taste for blood, and indeed blood has be come indispensible for the full de velopment of their eggs. Remember ing how all important the generative instinct is we can well understand why the mosquito will return again and again to obtain her full of this life-perpetuating fluid. The most effective means are those which destroy the breeding places of the mosquito and prevent their mul tiplication. For the best results both community and individual efforts are necessary. The individual attacking the problem on his own premises can do much not only to rid his own im mediate neighborhood of mosquitoes, but the example thus set will per haps stimulate his less enterprising i.eighbor. Largely reducing the num ber of mosquitoes will make life more pleasant and eliminate the diseases which they may carry. j PIANO MUST BE SOLD. Will sacrifice fine piano in storage near here.
