Situation Well in Hand

THE ADMINISTRATION

Excerpts from Communique No. 1 of the Agriculture Department, reporting on "major battles against insect allies of the Axis":

Strategy. "Methods developed for delousing are a military secret, but it is known that the bureau has developed new and revolutionary ways of combating this major pest."

Secret Weapon. "A new weapon has been developed which under certain conditions makes short work of [mosquitoes]. . . ."

Lines Holding. "Among the many projects . . . was a stepped-up defensive war against termites and powder-post beetles, which undermine wooden structures such as camp buildings and war housing."

To the Attack! "Insects that attack stored grain and dried fruits were the object of effective blitz attacks by the entomologists, carried out in many cases by men who had to wear gas masks to protect themselves . . . ."

The entomologists had landed and the situation was no longer loused up.
