76 N. J. Mosquito Extermination Association 



Thus in Gloticester County a mosquito extermination campaign 

 to protect the industries and residents along the Delaware River, 

 would involve the drainage of approximately 10,700 acres of marsh 

 or low-lying land. It would require the repairing of dikes, old 

 sluices and tide-gates, and the putting in of a number of new tide- 

 gates. At least in two places, Woodbury Creek and the Gibbs- 

 town marsh, pumping systems might have to be installed. The 

 ditching of many of the cattail swamps would be relatively ex- 

 pensive to install and maintain on account of the soft nature of 

 the soil. 



President Engle: The next paper on the program is a, very 

 interesting one on "Mosquito Control in Military Camps," by Rus- 

 sell W. Gies, Captain in the Sanitary Corps of the United States 

 Army.
