00-OPERATION URGED
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Committee Asks Support from Cam-
pus Residents; Rules Given
for Observance.
An advance campaign to prevent a
scourge of mosquitoes this spring and
summer is urged to Professor S. W.
Bilsing, entomologist of the College,
in an interview given out yesterday.
Considerable effort has been taken by
the College in eradicating the major
sources of mosquitoes and it now re-
mains for the College people to co-
operate zealously in eradicating the
miror sources of infestation to pre-
vent the usual pest. The statement
of Professor Bilsing calling upon the
people for cooperation and suggesting .
their line of action is as follows:
“The Committee on Mosquito Con-
trol is very much interested in secur-
ing the cooperation of all depart-
ments, and especially of the residents
of the Campus, in keeping in control
the mosquito situation. Practically
everyone is acquainted with the pro-
per methods to use in keeping mos- -
quitoes from breeding but most of us
are interested in other things to the
extent that we overlook some of the
minor sources of trouble. Such viaces
often furnish a sufficient suppy cf
mosquitoes to infest the whole com-
munity and make useless the »{ferts
which have been expended on the ma-
jor sources of infestation. Recently
the College authorities have expuided
a considerable amount of money in
climirating the major breeding places
but if there is to be obtained any
degree of control there must be added
cooperation .on the part of every de-
| partment and every resident of the
Campus. Urless this cooperation is
irecly given it is impossible to cope
with the situation. Now is the time
to help out. A little help now will
be worth a great deal later. We ask
your cooperation as to the following
details:
1. Punch two or three holes ir «ll
tin cans before they are thrown away.
This is one of the most important
sources of trouble. Do not depend on
