FOR FLY-KILL1No DAY.
City Health Officer commends Cam
paign Against Pestiferous Plies. :

gave a most hearty endorsement
of w. B. ,Gobin's suggestion of a
weekly fykilling day, and hoped
that there would be general adoption
of the plan. Concerted action on the
part of all citizens would result in a
marked lessening Of the fly nuisance.
The most successful method of
keeping a town free from flies is to
keep from breeding them. Let all
lots, back yards, corr ais and barns
be kept free from refuse, litter, ma
nure and filth of all kinds. An ordi-
nance requiring every householder to
keep his premises thus clean, carting
the refuse out of town at least once a
week during warm weather, would do
more to rid the town of flies, and to
promote the public health, than any
other measure that can be suggested.
But we have not this ordinance.
The administration has done what it
could to keep the manure and filth
cleaned up and carried away. During
May and June teams were in such de-
mand for farm work that neither pri-
vatc individuals nor the city could
get wagons to haul manure While
all possible has been done in the last
few weeks to remedy this. yet the re-
suit is more flies than we should have
had
The best we can do is to keep clean
from now on, and to kill the flies.
Each housefy lays about $50 eggs.
In this hot weather these eggs hatch
out into full grown flies in eight days
(T.hat shows the reason for carting
the filth out of town at least once 4
weekly
Each of these $50 flies at once pro-
ceeds to lay $50 more eggs, SO that
by the end of I6 or I8 days one fly
may become the ancestor of 22.soo
flies. At the end of about rs days one
fly may have moro than three million
three hundred thousand descendants.
Hence the killing of a few flies now
will make a marked difference in their
number by the endS, of the season.
And therefore l back up Mr.. Gobin's
suggestion of fly killing day.
Therefore. as Health Officer, !
suggest and request that. all house
holders, on Saturday of each week.
place fly poison plcntifully around
their houses and stables and every
where that flies gather. That all gro

SEND COMMISSIONER DATA

Commissioner Patek is feeling some
what aggrieved at the odum recently
cast upon the conduct Of his Office by y
Rocky Ford newspaper. and to Will
Wright. assistant secretary Of the Arkan-
sas Valley Commercial association he
has given an excuse that appears to
show that organization and the Chamber
of Commerce Of Rocky Ford should bear
considerable Of the blame for the appar-
ent lack Of publicity given this section by
the state board Of immigration.
Mr.. Patek says that his Office has
never received any literature pertaining to
the Arkansas Valley and its resources.
and inquiry reveals this to be = fact.
The secretary Of the Chamber Of Com
meree explains the lack Of Rocky Ford
literature by the statement that he has
had none to give out for some time.
while the secretary Of the commercial
association declares that booklets are
being printed.
Its a mighty hard proposition to
answer inquiries about section from
which one has no detailed information.
and it is surely up to the commercial
associations to get busy and load the
commissioner's Office with deseriptiee
literature Of our wonderful country. crops

Weedsi

Did you ever stop to think of the
tax you are paying to keep up the
weed crop? Ii the state should levy
n tax on your crops. equal to IS per
cent OF the value. you would rebel in
righteous indignation. Wouldn't you?
Yet good many of us permit stand
OF IS per cent of weeds to occupy
our fields and think we are doing
pretty good farming too.
Why not grow grain or alfalfa, or
sugar bcets or spuds, or some other
good crop where that weed tax is
now growing. The weeds give no
return. They draw more heavily on
the water supply and plant food sup
ply than paying crops. Paying crops
and weeds cannot occuy land at the
same time. Let us :row paying
crops and get profits rather than pay
taxes.
Pound for pound, the plant food
required by crops and by weeds is
almost the same. but weeds are bet
ter food gathcrers. The greatest diff
ference comes when the question OF
water arises. Weeds not only re-
quirc more water but are able to
get it. From 800 to 700 pounds of
water are used in producing a pound
of dry matter in our common crops.
Weeds require even more. If it
comes TO a contest as to which will
get it. the weeds win.
Ii is estimated from careful study
over IS per cent in value last year
through weeds alone.
Reform the weed.
