policy, the Guffy coal stabilization and Federal alcohol con
trol bills.
Fairbanks Fighting
Mosquitoes—F. E.
Company Busy on It
Mosquito control has been practic
ed for several seasons by the Fair
banks Exploration Company with
beneficial results. Facts on the sub
ject as learned by the company
from scientists it has been employ
ing in the years past to devise meth
ods for combating the pest, were
submitted to the mayor and city
council at their meeting by James
D. Crawford, one of the engineers
with the company, says a recent is
sue of the Fairbanks News-Miner.
The municipal authorities are un
dertaking mosquito control activi
ties within the limits of the city.
Mr. Crawfords communication fol
lows:
Practice of the Company
“The company practice is to have
a man well versed in the habits of
moquitoes, devote part of his time
during the month of May to look
ing over standing pools and noting
the progress of the larvae. As soon
as the pupae begin to appear which
is usually about June 1, several men
are employed to go over the neces
sary areas with knapsack sprayers
of the type used for spraying fruit
trees, and cover the surfaces of all
temporary pools with a thin film
of diesel oil. This work is done as
rapidly as possible, as the pupae
emerge into adults in three to sev
en days. In average areas, includ
ing some nigger-head territory, an
average of 0.256 gallons of oil per
acre is required, and the labor re- i
quirement amounts to 0.13 man day
per acre.
Appears in Four Stages
“The adult mosquito appears as
the end product of four stages of
development. First come the eggs
which are layed by the female mos
quito in loose groups of rafts. Most
northern species lay their egg- on
dry ground some time during (lie
summer. Experiments have proven
that these eggs must be frozen be
fore they will hatch. After being
frozen during the winter, many
eggs are washed into temporary
pools in the spring, and with the
advent of warm weather, hatch into
larvae or ‘wrigglers.’
‘‘After a period varying in length
according to climatic conditions, the
larvae shed their skins and pupae
emerge. The pupae a-e also aquat
ic. After a short period the adult
mosquito emerges.
Females Are Biters
“The females greatly outnumber
the males and are the biters. The
theory has been advancd that the
female requires a feed of blood be
for it can lay eggs. This has not
been proven and seems highly im
probable.
“The large mosquitoes which ap
pear in the early spring are an ex
ception to the above cycle in that
they lay their eggs in the early
summer, emerge in the fall and hib
ernate beneath rocks, bark and etc.,
in the fully developed adult stage,
and after thawing out emerge in the
spring to start work. Inasmuch as
the variety is not greatly trouble
some, little study has been given it,
and no control measures aimed at it.
“Of the troublesome varieties of
I
Fairbanks mosquitoes there are two
general divisions. The first includ
es the small mosquitoes which ap
pear in large numbers off and on
during the first three weeks in June.
The second includes the larger mos
quitoes which usually appear in
great numbers the latter part of

GEO WEYERHAEUSER
WILL BE WITNESS AT
TRIAL OF MRS WALEY
(By The Associated PressJ
TACOMA, July 10—U. S. District Attorney J. Charles
Dennis told the Associated Press Tuesday night “Undoubt
edly" little George Weyerhaeuser will appear as a witness
against Mrs. Margaret Thulin Waley, now standing trial on
a charge of having aided in the kidnaping of the youngster.
"The boy undoubtedly will be called as a witness, but
whether tomorrow or when, I'm not sure vet,” Dennis de
1 e la red.
His statement set at rest the speculation as to whether
the boy would be called. Previously it had been said, from
what appeared to be authoritative quarters, that there
would be no necessity of calling the boy.
Mrs. Waley appeared in court Tuesday with a compos
ed demeanor. The government put sixteen witnesses on
the stand in the first day of the trial, for laying the ground
work of the case.
John F. Dore, and other defense attorneys, representing
Mrs. Waley, seemed to consider their testimony as nothing
but routine work, as they did not cross examine them.
