This article is passed with the knowledge and in recognition of the fact that the cultivation of rice systematically breeds a mosquito known as the "rice field mosquito," and that in areas where rice is produced within the State of Mississippi, such mosquitoes have become a nuisance affecting the health and welfare of residents in and around such areas, and this article is designed to provide a method of control and extermination of such mosquitos in rice producing areas.
