RAINFALL


Mosquito breeding is greatly influenced by the precipitation during the months of March through September. Looking at the weather records for this period, we find that the total rainfall for these months was 80% above normal, and what is equally as im- portant, there were 20% more days on which we had precipitation of .01 inches or more. This frequency of rains was as important as the total amount of rainfall in keeping a large amount of our breeding places wet throughout the season. In addition to the above, hurricanes in the fall and torrential rains in May blocked streams with debris and resulted in abnormal flooding. To sum- marize, this past year was exceedingly wet and rainfall was rather frequent. The weather records also show that this year has been very unusual and that normally we may expect a much better sit- - uation as regards rainfall and, therefore, mosquito control will be relatively more efficient.


AERIAL SPRAYING


The aerial spray program aimed at the April hatch of mos- quitoes in fresh water swamps was begun on April 19 and com- pleted May 1. As was the case last year in the original towns, the absence of proper spraying weather resulted in somewhat of a late start and prolonged the work, however, the program was started about a week before that of last year and completed a week ahead of the previous year.


The purchase of two new helicopters by flying service com- panies in the area this year will make it possible to double up on any one day and result in more efficient use of available weather in the future.


This aerial spray program was done by both helicopter and fixed wing plane, the latter being used on large areas close to the two available airports in Braintree and Marshfield.


1055 acres were sprayed in the Town of Duxbury.


75


GROUND SPRAYING


The ground crews circulated on a schedule throughout their sections of the project. They varied from this circuit to treat in complaint areas or to treat places found breeding by the superin- tendent or the inspectors. They then returned to their rounds.


Their job this year was very difficult since excessive rains left them with many large areas to treat in addition to the many small obscure breeding places. In a normal season this work will be much reduced and drainage work in the future will further lessen the effort necessary to keep up with this very important phase of the work.


DITCHING


Drainage and elimination of mosquito breeding places has been considered the keystone of mosquito control by leaders in the mosquito control field from the very beginning.


Proper installation and maintenance of ditches will eliminate or reduce the majority of the breeding places, thus resulting in a smaller area to be covered by the ground crews or by aerial spray- ing. In addition to cutting costs, this results in more frequent checking of any given breeding place by the ground crews and thus in more efficient control.


Such a program also contributes to solving a problem always with the towns, that of storm drainage and reduction of standing water which may present a hazard to health.


With the above ideas in mind we have started on a program of drainage. Since the end of the breeding season 5,275 ft. of ditches have been cleaned, 11,430 ft. reclaimed and 700 ft. of new ditch has been dug in the Town of Duxbury.


This work will continue throughout the rest of the winter and early spring.


76


The work areas will be chosen firstly for intensity of mosquito breeding, secondly for difficulty of handling by spray programs, and thirdly for adaptability to hand ditching methods which are the only methods now available to this project.


Under consideration is the purchase of a tractor fitted for use on marshland and equipped with a scavel plow. This piece of machinery has been in use for the past six years in Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island, N. Y. and was developed for the specific job of cleaning or reclaiming salt marsh ditching.


Depending on the type of marsh, 15,000-22,000 ft. of ditch may be worked in a day. It will thus be possible to reclaim (not just clean) all our ditches thoroughly every other year.


Like all machines, the above has its limitations and there will . still be places where machine work is impossible or must be pre- ceded by hand work. These places would be handled by our crews in the fall and early spring.


This last year the project has been responsible in the original towns for the salt marsh ditching maintenance formerly under the direction of the State Reclamation Board. It is anticipated that next year this work in the three new towns will be assigned to the project by the Board.


FOGGING


This past season the project has had in operation a Todd In- secticidal Fog Applicator, commonly called a Tifa. This machine emits a smoke containing small particles of insecticide. This smoke is produced by introducing insecticide in oil into a stream of hot gases produced in a generator by burning gasoline and propelled by a stream of air from a blower.


This fog drifts with the air currents over the area, wiping out all mosquitoes and other flying insects present.


The machine is of great value in cutting down invasions of mosquitoes from large breeding places and is our only means of


77


control in areas where our chemicals may contaminate water supply.


EQUIPMENT


The project continued to add to its equipment as a result of the expansion to Scituate, Marshfield, and Duxbury and to bring the equipment on hand up to the necessary level.


Equipment now on hand


1 Ford F-350 truck


1 Ford F-250 truck


1 Ford F-100 truck


1 Willys 1 ton truck


1 Chevrolet Handyman


1 Cushman truckster (catch basin unit)


2 50 gal. Bean hydraulic sprayer


1 Todd insecticidal fog applicator


1 Hoffco power brushing tool


1 Gorman-Rupp centrifugal pump


Pack sprayers


Various hand ditching tools


Equipment to be added


1 Oliver OC-6-68 tractor with plow designed for ditch maintenance and digging


1 Trailer for transporting ditching tractor


1 Ford F-350 truck or equivalent


2 Catch basin units (Cushman trucksters or motorcycles )


2 50 gal. Bean hydraulic sprayers or equivalent


PLANS FOR THE WINTER


Throughout the months between the past and coming mosquito breeding seasons much attention will be given to ditching. Work on the salt marsh will be done in the Fall and early Spring and the colder Winter months will be spent in the more protected fresh water areas.


In addition when snow and ice conditions are right pre-hatch dusting, as was done last year, will be applied. The success of


78


last year's work along these lines makes it feasible to expand this program to as much as help and weather permit.


PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR


All operations above will be included next year.


In addition a very necessary extension of our work will be started. This is treatment of catch basins which breed enormous numbers of house mosquitoes. A survey made this past summer indicated that approximately sixty percent (60%) of the catch basins in the three areas sampled bred Culex pipens, the house mosquito, at the rate of fifty (50) larvae per dipper or more and only twenty percent (20%) had no breeding in them. The rest varied from a few to almost fifty (50) per dip.


This work will be done with a Cushman truckster and a motor- cycle with a large spray tank mounted in the rear. A regular round of all basins found will be worked out for each operator in his area. These men will also treat small roadside pools and cellar holes in new developments which are a temporary but im- portant nuisance.


If the project decides to obtain the marsh tractor, ditch re- claiming will be done during the summer whenever it doesn't in- terfere with necessary spraying and will be increased in tempo as soon as spraying is done in September.


OUTLOOK FOR NEXT YEAR


A very noticeable dent was made in the problem of controlling mosquitoes in the new towns.


The project personnel and the people in the towns have been adding to our maps more of the hidden breeding places and a winter of draining and dusting should show continued results.


The above coupled with a normal or dry season should pro- duce results far beyond the good beginnings of this year.

REPORT OF THE DUXBURY DAYS COMMITTEE


July 9, 1954


Town of Duxbury St. George Street Duxbury, Mass.


Attention: Mr. Philip Delano


Gentlemen:


The following is the report of the 1954, 19th Annual Duxbury Days Parade Committee.


A total of $1136.25 was spent by this committee, as itemized on page two, of which the town voted to appropriate the sum of $950.00.


Following the practice of previous years, the cost of the bands, as shown on items #1 thru #4, will be paid directly by the town. The remaining expenditures will be paid by the Legion, which will bill the town for the balance due from their appropriation, amounting to $233.00.


This year the committee voted to raise the prizes of the floats and horribles, which we think created additional interest in this division.


We wish to acknowledge our appreciation to the police depart- ment, fire department, highway department, and the many other groups and individuals who's splendid co-operation helped to make the parade a success.


Respectfully submitted,


RAYMOND P. CHANDLER, Parade Chairman
