The following communication relat

fly, and the manner in which it spreads
disease, comes to The Tribune from DR.
w. M. Stookey of this city:
To tho Editor of The Tribune
The typhoid or "scavenger' fly, is
a scavenger In the fullest sense. and
consequently is most numerous where
filth and refuse most abound. 1t is at

foul odors from stables, COW yards. out

posting its eggs.
Each female fly deposits on an average
two hundred eggs, sometimes many more.
which, under favorable conditions, hatch
within twenty-four hours. The small
grub thus produced develops rapidly. and
In about ten days the fully matured fly
comes forth. Thus we may have three
or four generations OF matured files in
one month OF warm weather One may
imagine the numbers that may be pro-
duced from one hundred female files dur
Ing q season.
The fly is strictly domestic In It's hab-

COLORADO LEADSfALL WEST /.
IN PRODCCTION.OF APPLES

Denver. Jan. 22.-Colorado's fame
as an apple state is growing daily.
In an article which appeared in the
Chicago American a few days ago the
apple crop OF Colorado was discussed
and the statement was made that Col
orado produced more apples than the
combined production of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho. Montana. Utah
and New Mexico.
Such articles cannot help but ben
eft Colorado. and publication OF them
should be secured in as many journals
as possible.
The one In the American follows:
"Colorado's apple crop for 1909 is
1900 carloads. valued at approximate
ly s4.000.000. These figures include
only the apples shipped to market and
do not include second grade apples
and apples sent to canning factories.
The crop OF apples is larger than the
combined crops of Oregon. Washing
ton. Idaho. Montana, Utah and New
Mexico.
Here are the Official figures from
the six states mentioned in campari-
son with Colorado. so there is no
chance left for argument:
Oregon. $50 cars: Washington.
1.740; Idaho. 800; Montana. 100; Utah,
400; New Mexico. 200; total a,s4o.
"California's crop is about 5000
cars. which makes that famous apple
state second to Colorado. Two coun-
ties in Colorado. Delta and Mesa. have
already shipped that number of car
loads and have many carloads left in
storage to be shipped. They are the
banner apple producing counties in
this state.
