Eliminating all re-rmristratiott tite qu. the U. S. Bureau of Public M places the total motor vehicle mint-lion u of July l, 1921 at 20,991,333. - lilo-g: Traveled ' The mileage traveled is based on an average of 13.5 miles per gallon of gmline. Using this tigure, the Association pines the total number of miles traveled by the 20,991,333 an mud trucks during [927 at L561,- oqt.t50,000 miles. One of the interesting things shown by the survey of gasoline con- sumption is the wide variation in the nnmnts consumed per automobile; capita, For instance, the highest! per eapita consumption was in Geonl git. tho 260.079 vehicles averaging 739 gallons during the year. while,' the lowest was in Minnesota. the} 607,725 vehicles using an average of, but 359 gallons, or slightly less than) hnlf the per vehicle consumption in' Georgia. 1 "Many things contribute towards‘ the wide variation in the amount of l gasoline used per vehicle in the vari-l on: states;" according to Si. Mayer.‘ Vice-President of the Association and I President " The Automobile Club} of Illinois. "la the wide difference; between the amount consumed by the ‘4 u‘erage motorists in Minnesota and,) Georgia the primary reason is Cui',,; tie' condtions. In Georgia automol bites are used the year around. white) in Minnesota they are restricted." l Again, roads in Georgia are not LI ggod as those in the Northern slatesl and hence the gasoline consumption is higher." declared Mr. Mayer. _ Additional Factors Additional factors accounting for the variations. Viee-Presidrmt Mayer points out, is that of population, Rar- oline consumption being heavier in thickly populated arms Such as cities and industrial centers. while tourist aecoartt for a high per capita con- sumption. As an examplc,' in the District of Columbia-where there is a large annual tourist movement-- the average is 70 (allow above the general average. Front an industrial standpoint New Jersey's per capita consumption Stands out, being 88 gallons above the Country's avernze. Illinois per capita consumption was 550 gallons. "The ration of 20nd mark to 2-15-1- line cansumption is pct as marked as one would supmse. {Hr the reason tNc in states where wads are good the mileage is more per gallon, and in must instances the states that have good roads are wealthy and one of the unique angles of per.eapita 233:» line consumption is that in the weal, thy states. where many owners own two cars, the per capita consumption is towrred by virtue of this fact." VicePresident Mayer points out. "This is particularly true of Cart, fornia. which has exeouent roads and in ttil year motoring climate. With these two factors one would suppose the per capita gasoline con- sumption was would be the highest, however, wt a per capita gasoline consumption of 642 pilons Californi- masks fourth on the lint. Following Georgia, Louisinn: ranks second with 721 gallons ind Alabama third with m “has.” . I OLDESI' Am.

"Some idea of the extent ofthe cost of insects is shown from the fact that 830,000,tNttt worth of wire screening is sold Minn-11y. Orchard growers of California aiotse spent $45M,W In- ninliy fighting insects. The 311ml: of Entymology spends about $3,000.- 000 a year in field work and seientifie investigation to determine what. strategy to use against the enemies, but this sum does not include speck! sums to mien [atergeoeiess. The' total actual cost of the insect warfare is conservatively 560000000 t year. "To put it more dearly, the dam-32 wrought by insects every yetr in the United States mmifies the labor of 1,000,000 men. These mnterial figures do not even touch upon the loss of life tamed by the sixtr-tive well known types of disease carrying insects, which is beyond estimate."
