Sports Afield (By TED KESTING) There is a program under way in the Tuckahoe Marshes of southern New Jersey that has changed local ideas about mos quito control. This fact may seem out of place here, but It points the way to waterfowl re- hablitation possibilities of nation wide significance. To begin with, ditching and oil ing have been virtually the only methods of mosquito control on the Atlantic coastal marshes for the last 50 years; recently aerial spraying also has been used. This destroys habitat and, as outdoor writer Cleveland Van Dresser re marks : It’s a cinch ducks and geese aren’t going to stay in a region where they or their young can't live. In 1939 the New Jersey Division of Fish and Game decided to try an experiment. It would impound the waters of the Tuckahoe Marshes and apply biological methods to control mosquitoes. It was hoped and expected that the impoundments would result in two things: lessening of mosquitos in the area, and establishment of good waterfowl habitat They did both. Quite a bit of research went in to the habits of mosquitoes be fore actual construction of dikes was started. It was learned that the insects laid their eggs in mud flats not affected by normal tide fluctuations. Excessively high tides left stagnant pools in their wake and it was in these pools that the mosquitoes bred. It was reasoned that if water was im pounded and kept at a constant level during mosquito breeding time, the insects would find no place to lay their eggs for the simple reason that there would be no mud flats and stagnant pools. The first impoundment was only 60 acres (now there are 1,300 acres controlled by nine dikes). As these filled with fresh water from natural drainage to the north, fish came in—mostly pickerel, bass and catfish. These did a pret ty fair job of eating the larvae of any mosquitoes th^t bred in the impoundment. So from the standpoint of mosquito control the experiment was a success. What about waterfowl? Today between 12 and 15 thou sand use the area annually, and these include geese and swans which haven’t been seen in south Jersey for years. Furthermore, some black ducks are neeting in the marshes, which never hap pened before. Appraising the situation from a dollars and cents standpoint, it costs less in the long run to in stall impoundments in a given area than it does to maintain a constant ditching and spraying Urogram. Ditches have to be cleaned regularly and it is usually a costly hand-labor job. And at best, the effect of insecticides is temporary. The dikes at Tucka hoe are permanent—automobiles and trucks can use them, and they have withstood two hurricanes, NOTICE OF JURY DRAWING H. D. AGENT SCHEDULE Miss Margie Davis and Mrs. Barbara G.

Agent Urges Use Of Machine Guards The best shield that can be made gives no protection if it is not used, according to County Agent P. S. Ezell. He says there is no adequate excuse for not keeping shields in place on farm equipment. It is much easier to be safe than sorry. The local agent says that rec ords of tl^e National Safety Coun cil shoW that many accidents re sult from unguarded power take off shafts. When clothing flops against a revolving shaft or coupl ing, an operator can be injured instantly. In spite of repeated warnings, many farmers still fail to keep shields in place. Too often they are left in the imple ment shed or in a fence corner. Mr. Ezell calls attention to a statement by M. C. - McKenzie, agricultural engineer, Clemson Ex tension Service, in which he says: "Recently manufacturers have been equipping power-driven im plements with nonremovable power take-off shields. This helps protect operators against theijr own carelessness. For most equip ment, however, we must still de pend on removable shields for pro tection. ’ “Farmers who do not have standard power take-off hitches or shields should consult their local implement dealer. Hitches and adapter packages for power-driven implements may be obtained from i dealers representing the manu facturer of the implement. The adapter package or parts neces sary to convert an old tractor to the standard shield may be obtain ed from dealers handling the given make of tractor. "Shielding homemade equip ment for safety is a special pro blem that each user must solve in dividually. No piece of farm ma chinery is complete until adequate shielding of all exposed revolving parts is provided,” he cautions AIRMAN ANDERSON RETURNING TO STATES FROM PHILIPPINES Airman Second Class Earl J.
