HOW TO ABATE Fly NUISANCE.
New York Merchants Association Is
sues Set of Rules Calculated to
Wipe Out The Pest

i Every summer, with attending dis
eases, and complaints of the human
family, sees more determined effort
on the part of the thinking element OF
the world to cope successfully with
he question of flies, vermin and other
menaces to health.
The Merchants Associations COM
mittee on pollution of the waters OF
New York has issued a set of rules
which, if followed closely will do
much to mitigate the omnipresent
pest of the summer-the common
house fly. The committee is headed
by Edward Hatch, Jr., and the other
members are J. Pierpont Morgan, AL
bert Wander veer. NJ. D., John V. Gull
yer, C. E. and Daniel D. Jackson.
Not content with looking after the
welfare of New York City, the COM
mittee has issued broadcast the fol-
lowing bulletin, which all persons
would do well to read and follow:
Keep the flies away from the sick, es-
pecially those i'll with contagious dis
eases. Kill every fly that strays into
the sick room His body is covered
with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.

to fermentation, such as bedding
straw, paper waste and vegetable
matter, should be disposed of or COW
cred with lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans
sprinkled with oil or lime
Keep all stable manure in vault or

Screen all food exposed for sale.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially the kitchen and dining room
Burn pyrethrum powder in the
house to kill the flies.
Don't forget if you see flies their
breeding place is in nearby filth. 1t

Bile or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt or filth there will
be no flies.
If there is nuisance in the neigh

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20. 1908.
]" MzRAczE IN WHEAT,


The discovery of a species of wheat
the seed of which was brought from
Alaska, which is said to produce over
two hundred bushels per acre, is caus-
ing some social economists no end of
worry. What" queries a writer in
a prominent northern magazine. un-
der the title of "a Miracle in Wheat, .
'sWhat will be the outcome?" Wis
ions of bumper crops of wheat
amounting to two and a half billions
of bushels haunt the dreams of the
author, who foresees ruined in
dustry, depleted freight receipts for
railroads, and a general panic, with
wheat at twenty cents a bushel, so
plentiful and cheap as to be a drug
on the market
1t seems strange that the mere
thought of an imrovement in the
wheat Industry, whereby the farmers
could produce over fifteen times the
amount of wheat that is now pro-
duced on a certain area with a certain
amount of toll should cause such
anxious foreboding. Instead of re-
joicing that this wonderful discovery
may reveal a way by which this great
staple of human food Ican be pro-
duced with so much less toll and so
much less land, which will release the
farmer from the slavery of cultivat-
ing hundreds of acres of wheat be-
cause he could now raise his usual
crop on so much less ground and
with so much less toll. this aiarmist
speaks of the discovery as possible
and one would gather the
impression from the article that the
writer might think it wise to destroy
the new species Of wheat before its
culture should become general.
Why not rather look on the bright
side of the matter? Think what
other purposes the wheat farmers
might use their land and time for, If
they were not bound to cultivate such |
large areas in wheat. Suppose that, |
instead of devoting so much land to |
wheat, they were to devote large |
part of the land to tree planting, thus |
aiding in solving the problem OF con-
rolling the floods and readjusting the
of moisture which is be-
ieved to have been affected adversely
oy the clearing of such vast areas for
he purpose of planting wheat and
,ther grain fields. Suppose the sur
)lus energy that would be no longer
needed for cultivation of the fields
we're devoted to the great work of
our rivers, and aiding in
he project for improving the trans
'ortation facilities of the land. What
asst Improvements might be affected
within short timel Suppose the
wheat growers should devote their
pare time to study and culture of the
higher faculties of the mind The
mole country might be the gamer by
UGH elevation of the nations mental
tandard. The railroads freight re-
eipts would fall OF perhaps, but the
reat systems already have more
reight to haul than they can accom-
lodate, and their gains are already
efficient to have built up colossal
ortunes for the comparative few that
wn' the great railroad systems of the
ind. The thought opens up wonder
u vistas Of betterment for the entire
md, If the bread supply of the people
the world could be produced SO
lucm more easily and more cheaply
han at present.

report OF the association showing the
actual gravity Ct the situation, It is
likely that before the end OF the week
it viii be impossible to buy ton of the

The last hay famine in this state was
