I here present a summary of a detailed report that I made to the California State Board of Health, March 1, 1919, concerning the prevalence of malaria in the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District, situated in Shasta County, Calif. The summary presents data as to the economic loss caused by malaria in this district in 1918. The three items of medicine, medical service and labor loss were carefully determined, and were found to average not less than $31.70 per family: in different sections of the district this varied from $1.86 to $75.10 per family per year. DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT The Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District comprises approximately 32,000 acres of valley and foothill land lying on both sides of the Sacramento River in Shasta and Tehama counties, in the northern part of California. The population of the district is approximately 1,300 persons, of whom approximately 450 live in Anderson town, 200 in Cottonwood |
