Using 80 men and women in tests, they found that the yellow fever mosquito, and perhaps some others, preferred men over women most of the time. The researchers found that skin temperature and the amount of perspiration were factors which influenced the ‘.edibility" of men and women. High skin temperature, for in stance, was attractive to the mosquito. Mosquitoes would bite these individuals in preference to persons with low skin tem peratures. ~ Women who perspired heavily were more attractive to the mos quitoes than women who perspir ed lightly. The opposite was true with men. The men who perspir ed heavily were less attractive than men who perspired lightly. These tests were conducted to determine the effectiveness of the repellent diet—used in many •commercial repellents — which was developed by the Agricul tural Research Service. The tests showed that women treated with the repellent were protected longer, on the aver age, than the men. L. M. Sparks, Clemson exten sion entomologist, says most of the commercial repellents which you can buy in the store are ef fective in reducing or preventing mosquito bites. He says most of these repellents are also effec tive against gnats. STATING ON SMALL FARMS "If we’re going to stay in farm ing on our small farms . . ."
