a minute somewhere else, that in the aggregate amounts to a 

 good many minutes, by just looking around and waiting for 

 somebody to start. 



There were three papers left off the program yesterday after- 

 noon, and I would like to know what the sentiment of the mem- 

 bers present is in regard to taking those papers up now or going 

 on with the program as it stands. What would be your idea 

 about it ? I am willing to entertain a motion either way. 



Mr. Rider — Mr. President, I would like to inquire whether 

 the failure to have the papers was because we did not have the 

 time or what? 



President Darnall — It was because we did not have the 

 time. We worked right up to six o'clock. 



Mr. Rider — ^^I would suggest then, that if the gentlemen are 

 prepared to give the papers, to present them now. 



President Darnali, — If it is the consensus of the Associa- 

 tion I will call for the first paper, "The Essential Steps in 

 Upland Mosquito Control, in Both City and Counitry," by 

 David Young, of Paterson, and we will therefore limit these 

 papers strictly to fifteen minutes. 



Essential Steps in Upland Mosquito Control in Both City 



and Country. 



BY DAVID YOUNG, CHIEI^ INSPECTOR OF THE PASSAIC COUNTY 

 MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION COMMISSION. 



In attempting to describe what are the essential steps in 

 mosquito control, I hope to be able to make the question more 

 interesting by basing what I have to say on my practical experi- 

 ence gained in mosquito work in Passaic County. 



The County of Passaic is typical of other counties, having 

 the usual mosquito breeding places found in inland counties, 

 consisting of swamps, pools, ponds and brooks, although it has 

 some peculiar conditions that do not exist in other counties.
