This oil, a big factor in the fight which is culminating in certain abolition of the insect, has destroyed breeding places in theTedro Miguel and Gatum lakes. The method used to spray the oil necessitates the use of a rowboat carrying a tank containing 150 gallons of oil, and a crew of three men. One man rows, one works a hand pump and the other handles the spray nozzle, The hot oil is.sprsjcu on tlie shore line as fast as the bout can be propelled. Tills surface filming has been found positive and complete. Wind action and wavelets carry the„ oil into every nook and cranny, even to a considerable distance from the point of application. A rigid inspection follows every oiling to determine if it has been done thoroughly. Elsewhere than in the lake areas, mopquito breeding is controlled chiefly by training of streams and by draining and filling. . * ...

In the first place the demand for frogs' legs in the vicinity of New Orleans Is greater than in any other section of the country, and, in addition to that, the frogs grow to enormous size in that part of the country. Not long ago a shipment of 5.000 frogs was made to Japan, and new that country is shipping frogs to this country, conveniently serving sections which sre not so easily reached by the Louisiana growers. The latter state is capable of supplying the entire demand of the country as far as the production of frogs is concerned, but the growers have not been spry ^energetic in opening up new territory.
