Full title:Dr. George S. Kido, Ph.D. from the University of California and developer of a machine which is used to spray ponds in the control of mosquitos. This machine has been adapted from a 50 gal. orchard sprayer and has been mounted on a tractor drawn trailer. The mosquitos in this section of the country are potential carriers of equine encephalitis, which is a form of sleeping sickness. No cases of this disease have been found as yet. Dr. Kido was a well known track star at the University of Southern California in his undergraduate days. Photographer: Stewart, Francis Poston, Arizona.
