Experiments to Fight Mosquitos in Arkansas
Little Rock July 27 The Health department malaria control division will use novel methods to combat the mosquito menace near Pine Bluff arsenal and Stuttgart and Newport air training schools. Northeast of Pine Bluff division workers will blast a one mile ditch with dynamite this week to drain into the Arkansas river. The 150 to 208 acre water body was a major breeding ground. In Stuttgart and Newport an experimental program will spray around houses to kill adults instead of larvae, due to large water areas and rice crop concerns.

Burning of Highway Beautification Stands UnderInquiry
Little Rock July 27 Highway Director W W Mitchell said he would ask District Engineer Kent Brown of Hope to investigate a reported burning of the U S 67 west of Hope that destroyed highway beautifying shrubbery and crepe myrtle. Editor Alex Washburn said crepe myrtle trees planted years ago were damaged. Mitchell suggested a cigarette may have started the fire and added the department supports beautification, not blaming crews. A second note recalls Tom Reese in Wyoming disguising as a scarecrow to catch sage hen poachers.
