42 North Carolina Board of Health cautions or lack of foresight nor the persecution of those in a position to make available our natural resources can be condoned. The availability of more definite information regarding the mosquito and malaria condition in a locality both before and after impounding would greatly facilitate the clearing up of difficulties. More preferable, however, than the settling of controversies would be the elimination of their causes. This bespeaks the need of knowledge which will go further toward the elimination of health detriments in the maintenance of power ponds. Much has been done already. No more ponds are found rising in uncleared forests. Old ponds have been cleared, and the practice of keeping all of them clean and of discouraging mosquito breeding is general. However, amidst a condition of uncertainty there has arisen a desire for more knowledge in handling mosquito and malaria conditions, better and surer methods of control, and some level of conduct and understanding which will reduce health hazards to a minimum, command the approval of fair-minded people, and better put the hydro-electric industry upon the road of progress with the good-will of all concerned. In these problems and controversies the State has a responsibility, an obligation, a stake for loss or gain. It is true that a state best promotes its interests by fostering industries and even truer is this in the safe-guarding of the health of its people. Solving the problems outlined is progress in promoting such interests. Purpose of Studies Industries naturally follow in the wake of power development and can thrive only in proportion as the power interests prosper. Power growth has come more and more to center around water developments and likewise has the malaria problem centered. The work and development of the U. S. Public Health Service gave hydro-electric projects their living chance. This was excellent headway, but there is yet much to be done in carrying on that work. While the present knowledge is generally applicable and makes possible the contingent interests, each project has an individual equation upon which much of its prosperity may depend and which to know is highly desirable. As with railroads and other organizations in whose welfare malaria has been discovered to play a part, impounders may desire to gain the asset accruing to the improving of health conditions and the gaining of good-will among those whom they may benefit, but this is not incumbent upon them. However, all are concerned in knowing that conditions, if not improved, remain at least unchanged. This is another call for facts resultant of which there has arisen an urgent need for the study of mosquito and malaria conditions in connection with North Carolina industries. Power officials are deeply concerned with it, and in addition to maintaining their own forces for control work on ponds already in use, they are much interested in work carried on by the State. These problems in the State were given cognizance and a program instituted with the following purposes in view: to further determine the effect, on mosquito and malaria propagation from damming water-courses, to determine the variation in species breeding because of changing from flowing streams—the natural haunts in the South of Anopheles Punctipennis— to sluggish streams and ponds—the natural breeding places of Anopheles Quadrimaculatus, the principal carriers of malaria; to ascertain and perma-
