The New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Association 



This state-wide society, organized for the special purpose of 

 furthering anti-mosquito work in the state in all its phases, was 

 formed in the year of 191 3 by representatives of the mosquito com- 

 missions created under the authority of Chapter 104, Laws of 1912, 

 the State Agricultural Experiment Station and certain interested 

 private citizens. This association has now held seven annual conven- 

 tions at each of which the status of mosquito work in the United 

 States and various other parts of her world has been presented by 

 men most familiar with them. The association has increased to a 

 membership of over 2100, and each year the proceedings of the an- 

 nual convention have been published.
