human interest and appeal that only needs to be multiplied to 

 make enthusiasts of all. 



To approach this work from another angle it has been proposed 

 by miany, and strongly advocated by the Board of Conservation and 

 Development, to use prison labor in draining our marshes. This 

 plan has met with the approval of the Department of Charities 

 and Corrections, its able Director will tell you all about the prop- 

 osition later. 



We are going too slow, gentlemen ! Fifteen years is too long 

 to wait for this work to be finished. Any increased cost incurred 

 in. rushing the work at this time will be more than offset by de- 

 creased cost of operation, when contracts are let on a larger scale, 

 to say nothing of the rapid increase in valuation of Agricultural 

 and Resort enterprises. 



Find out who represents you in the Legislature and where he 

 stands on your problem. If he says, "Yes, I am in favor of the 

 State doing more of the work," ask him what he has done about 

 it, and keep on asking what he has done about it. And if he doesn't 

 do something about it that causes results, help your neighbor send 

 up somebody that will. 



See that your community has knowledge of what is going on 

 and a well defined sentiment about it, and see that the man to be 

 elected will represent it. This, gentlemen, is nty idea of the at- 

 titude and part of the State Association toward the problem of 

 finishing the mosquito drainage of the salt marshes of New Jersey.

President Engle : The next paper is on "The Attitude and the 

 Part of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station," by its 

 able Director, Dr. Jacob G. Lipman.
