Get After the Flies.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies Is by burning
pyrethrum In each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
ease and an enemy Of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

KANSAS HAPPENINGS
A Peach Tree That Grows Apples.

TcdCH rec ! nat SToWS APplcSs
]. w. Wilson of Yates Center Is the
owner of peach tree that produced
apples and peaches on the same limb.
Some time ago Mr.. Wilson planted an
liberia peach tree on his place. Near
it grows an apple tree, the limbs OF
which reach over and intermingle with
the peach tree limbs. This spring the
owner noticed what seemed TO be ap-
pies growing on the peach tree limb,
He watched their growth daily and
they developed TO the size of peaches
when they commenced to decay, and
this week they fell Off The tree was
never grated and the only explanation
he can give Of this peach tree bearing
apples is that when the two trees were
in bloom the pollen from the apple
blossoms combined with that of the
peach on account of their close proXi-
nifty, and the apple being the strong
est, apples instead of peaches on the
limb was the result.
