DEVELOPMENT OF CONTROL MEASURES 65 



"Investigations that have taken place during past years show that our 

 richest farms in the best part of our country are paying anywhere from 

 $2.50 to $10.00 per acre per year as a malaria tax. Now here are 200 

 square miles, where the cost per acre was $1.26. 



"Public sentiment unquestionably is favorable to the control of 

 malaria by drainage on a big scale; and drainage, supplemented by fish 

 control and other measures is not only feasible, but it will be done 

 because it is what the people desire."
