According to report fr.om the field workers, mosquito infestation this year reached high proportions. One reason for this is seen in' the fact that the average flight of the insect, ordi-. narily about · two blocks, was extended to four or five blocks by the assistance of strong winds. Complaints were received from numerous localities not affected last year, and investigation revealed no evidence of mosquito breeding, indicating that the aerial intruders had lengthened their flights to reach regions not previously afflicted. In outlining plans for the remainder of the season, Mr. Crowe said the policy would be continued of sending investigators to an affected towns and villages and co-operating to the fullest extent with municipal authorities in efforts to combat the mosquito pest. The present program of the district is also in co-operation with the Gorgas Memorial Institute. . TWO WEEKS SALE OF ANTIQUES!
