FARMERS RALLY
To SAVE BIRDS
FEATHERED FORCES OF. NATURE
FOUND TO FIGHT PESTS
BEST.
AUDUBON WORKERS HEAD A
MOVE OF ECONOMICAL
IMPORTANCE.

New York, July 25.-Alarmed by
the invasion of the gypsy and brown
tail moths into this state from New
England, where their ravages have
cost the people many millions OF
dollars, thousands of leaders among
the agricultural communities OF ev-
cry section of the country are to-
day joining movement to ward off
this crop plague by protecting the
birds that serve as its greatest
check Acting upon this emergency
demand from the farming interests,
the National Association of Audu
bon Societies has established a ma
tional information bureau at al
Broadway from which instructions
for preserving and increasing the
numbers of the insect-eating birds
are being distributed throughout the
country If every American who is
interested in the crop wealth of the
land will join this campaign of prac-
tical education at once, it is declared
by chronological experts here, there
may yet be some hope of averting
the moth plague which now threat
ems to sweep the continent
Three main lines of work have
been projected today by the leaders
in this movement on behalf of the
oouptrv,c oorio,,J+,,ro1 ;ptorac+c Con
timent in favor of the protection of
birds is to be crystallized, compre-
hensive and drastic laws to this end
enacted, and every possible means
used to attract birds and thus in
crease their number to combat the
crop pests. Every state, county and
town where proper protection of the
insect-eating birds has not been pro-
vided or whose bird laws are not
enforced, will fall an easy prey to
the costly ravages of the spreading
moths, it is shown. Failure to take
up an active campaign such as is
proposed can only be undone in the
face of the moth plague by years
OF hard labor and millions of dol
lars of the taxpayers money, it has
been proved by the government and
state authorities.
The empire state today is mass
ing a great force of experts near
Port Chester, where these insect
pests have just crossed the border
line on their way west. If this ad-
vancing column is not checked. it
will cost the people many millions
of dollars in the near future to make
up for the depletion of its wild
birds, due to years of lax laws, it
is estimated. In other states in the
path of this pest, where little legis-
lation exists to prevent the slaugh-
ter of the insect eaters, campaigns
are already on foot to rouse the
people to the seriousness of the sit
uation. For years the millinery in
terests have prevented the farmers

Milwaukee Takes Part National War Against Pest Breeding
Soaked With Disintectants and Cleanliness Urged

Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and the cans cleaned
Or sprinkled with oil or lime.
See that your sewage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is
up to date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, es-
pecially in the kitchen and dining
room.
If you see flies you may be sure
that their breeding place is in nearby
filth 1t may be behind the door, under
the table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth there
will be no flies.
If there is nuisance in the neigh
borhood write at once to- the health
department
In Cleveland the board of health be-
gan a crusade this week against the
activities of the house fly. The
health department has purchased
large supply of deodorants and the in
spectors will spray spots that are
known as fly breeding places. The
spray consists of a mixture of penny
royal and coal oil, two cheap products
that go long way when judiciously
applied. Garbage cans and stables
are the most popular places with the
flies for bringing forth their fami-
lies, and it is these places health Off
GERS are endeavoring to improve.
The London Lancet, the leading
medical journal of the world, says the
best and simplest fy-killer is a weak
solution of formaldehyde in water,
two teaspoonfuls to the pint. The mix
ture should be placed in sauceEs
throughout the house. Ten cents
worth of formaldehyde will last an
ordinary family all summer. T. has
no offensive smell, is fatal to disease
organisms and is non-poisonous ex-
cept to insects Pyrethrum powder
burned in the house will also kill flies.

Municipal health departments eyery-
where are waging persistent war
fare against the fly. Warnings are
sent to householders, and health Off
GERS have received strict instruc-
tons to spray all fyIbreeding spots.
Health officers declare the fly is the
worst enemy to health of any insect
alive.
So terrifying nuisance is the house
fly regarded in New York city that j .
Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie have Joined the
Merchants association in its warfare
against the disease breeding pest
The millionaires have subscribed lib
orally tic fund to disseminate litera-
ture in all languages on the fly nui-
Sance. The association has sent the
circular to every household in New
York city and the good work is to be
extended into the other cities and the
farming districts of the great Empire
state
The following simple rules and adj
vice have been prepared to reduce
the death-carrying proclivities of the
fly:
Keep the flies away from the sick.
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is COW
cred with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort 10 accumulate on or near
your premises.
All refuse which tends in any way
to fermentation, such as bedding
straw, paper waste, and vegetable
matter. should be disposed of or COW
