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,

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
