MAKING WAR ON
The HOUSE FLY
Oregon State Board Of Health Is
Urging u Campaign Against
the Pest.

The Oregon State Board Of Health,
much to its credit, Is making cru
sade against the pestiferous house
fly and publishes the following
strong article on the subject which
we hope will be read and needed by
every man and woman in Josephine
county. The fly Is the real enemy
of all mankind and should be treat
ed accordingly The subject demands
attention from the health authorities
in every city in the state. Grants
Pass must take up this subject and
do 1t now.
"At this season of the year Oregon
should join the majority of the states
OF the Union in a systematic CAM
paign against that common disease
breeding pest, the fly.
This insect lays its eggs prefer
ably in piles of horse manure, but
In the absence of that, in decaying
vegetables, garbage cans, empty fish,
fruit and vegetable cans that are
such common decorators of back
yards and vacant lots. These eggs
are long and white and hatch in
few hours. The larvae, white mag
gots, grow rapidly, cast their skin
twice, and attain their full growth
in five to ten days. The outer skin
then hardens, swells out, turns
brown. and within the true pupa Is
found. This stage last four or five
days when the fly emerges through
a hole in the anterior end. The total
cycle then OF fly is about ten days.
The number of eggs laid by a fly Is
about one hundred, and 1t is estim-
ated that a pound of horse manure
will furnish a breeding place for
twelve hundred flies. The refuse
from cow stables Is rarely or never
used by flies for depositing ovae.
House flies cannot bite, as their
mouths are only fitted for tapping
or procuring food by suction, and not
piercing. The stable fly is the bit
ing fly and Is only found in houses
before rain. The two, however,
are so similar in appearance that you
can not distinguish between them.
Flies are peculiarly susceptible to
fungus diseases as we'll as to para
site diseases, and die by the mil
lions before their allotted span of
life Is normally run, but their prolific
breeding keeps their numbers each
summer on the increase,
The part they play In communicat-
ing diseases can not be overestim-
9ted. tuberculosis is perhaps the
most common and most fatal. While
most of our typhoid is water-borne,
still flies play considerable part.
The summer bowel disorders OF chill
dren are largely due to flies,
Not only in cities, towns and viii
lagos should manure heaps be re-
moved or kept in tight containers,
but every farm barnyard should be
sprayed with lime, Put chloride Of

A hundred or more persons fol

hundred surrounded her and pre-

formed Gordon and with drawn
"billies" fought their way through
