der the impression that it was already

their daily task of egg-laylng. As
the poultry business is a leading one

the dynamite. After few discharges
the air is so cleared that hens can re.
sumo operation, and the CORY remains
OF the dead mosquitoes, falling to the
ground, are plowed In as fertilizers.
