Smith, state entomologist of New Jersey, in his efforts to rid parts of that state of mosquitoes. Many breeding places are the direct result of untidiness and carelessness, and are readily abolished. The simple and practical measures to be adopted consist in (1) drain- age; (2) filling in; (3) treatment with kerosene oil or similar preparations. Rank growths of weeds or high grass on the banks of sluggish streams, and weed-protected shallow nooks of ponds, often conceal some breeding puddles, a...nd in themselves form favorite harboring places for the adult mosquito. Hence, the farmer should keep his lawns well trimmed and do away with all weeds, high grass and low bushes or shrubs about ditches, brooks and ponds. Back yards and vacant lots should be cleaned up and put in a tidy condition. Among numerous places which collect rain water and where mosquitoes will breed by preference, should be mentioned ill- drained roadside ditches and road gutters, catch basins, undrained bog holes, all places where the natural drainage has been interfered with, swamps or marshy places, depressions or pools in rocky ledges, newly made and water-filled hollows and excavations generally; holes formed by the pulling out of tree stumps, also holes in decaying trunks of trees, as well as ill-graded irrigation ditches.
