BOYS AND GIRLS

Within recent years o new method
of agricultural education has been
devised in the form of boys and
girls clubs. Such clubs have
various objects, but usually they
provide for prize contests among
the members. Corn growing con-
tests are probably the most common
among the boys, although many
other crops have been tried, while
The following bulletin issued to
Southern Pacific employees breaches
eloquently of the plight of a pinch
er pinched:
the girls compete in bread-making
or sewing or even test their skill
against that of the boys in garden
ing.
The United States department
of agriculture has information of
395 counties in twenty-eight states
in which such clubs are organized,
with a total membership of about
la, 900. New York has about
$4,000 members, Nebraska 25, 900
and other states smaller numbers.
One county in Pennsylvania has
1000 members. in most cases
these clubs are organized under the
auspices of some state authority,
but in many cases the county
superintendent takes the initiative,
while in many other cases the rural
teachers arrange the contests among
their " pupils.
The United States departr~e nt Of
agriculture also lives assistance
through the office of experiment
stations by furnishing advice and
suggestions. A new farmers
bulletin on boys and girls agri-
cultural clubs tells how to organize
the clubs, how to conduct the con-
tests and what publications are
useful to the boys and girls.

TO EXTERMINATE FLIES

Flies no longer need be the pest of
the country town in summer They
will vanish like mist in sunlight if
the prescription Of Professor
William B. Herms of the California
State Board of Health is issued.
Professor Herms' cure is very
simple and reasonable. He ex-
plains that the reason why flies are
so prevalent in the village is that
it is usual for the residents to
leave their refuse open to the air
to feed and afford breeding places
for the flies. If these places r
all closed up. he declares, the pest
will be driven out. To use his
own words:
The town ;hat abOlishcs all
open toilets and other conditions of
filth and moisture, such as decom-
posing refuse heaps, accretions in
garbage barrels, ect.. will become
fylcss. House flies cannot come
into existence unless they have
some such place in which to breed.
They seldom travel one or two
blocks from their place of hatch
ing.
According to reports received
from the State Board of Health, i
has remained for Lakeport, a sum,
mer resort in Lake county, to leac
the non-sewercd towns of the Stat,
in relieving its visitor and inhabt
ants of fly and door evils by max
ing the earth-dry toilet system
universal and compulsory.
Odors do not escape from
properly operated dry-earth toilets
and flies cannot breed in them
The change of open vault toilets t
the dry-earth system is simple an,
inexpensive"

it was considered inadvisable to at

track had been thoroughly rebal-

to having the track in shape by the

started in at the Winnemucca yards,
