IT IS NO JOKE

Because it furnished material for
all sorts Of jokes, the ''fly sWattihI
campaign that has been advsrate<i
by boards OF health all over the
country has not been taken as sef1-
ously as il might have BEEN. He
cause flies have always been a pest
OF the summer. there are people who
believe that they always will he
pest. Since flies have never attack
Ell any one or apparently done any
thing more serious than to tickle
bald headed man or annoy baby,
there are many who contend that
there is no danger in them.
Scientific research has denlOn-
strated that they are one Of the
most inSidiOus foes Of mankind. In
the tropics they are 50 dangerous
that the United States government
las spent thousands OF dollars in
establishing a nyless zone five miles
on each side Of the great Panama
canal. This action is an object les
son to the entire country. II such
a zone can he established and main-
tanned in the tropics, it should be
comparatively easy for cities under
normal conditions to be flyless by
systematic war on the dangerous
pest.
Now is the time to begin the CAM
l,aign. Greeley could make itself
the most favored spot in Colorado
the summer time il 1t should
be the first to be a fiyless town.

so formidable q candidate for the
democratic nominee for president,
there has arisen a disposition to
charge that the house leader is a

WHO is not in sympathy with the
progressive element that seems to
dominate both of the great politi.
cal parties Of the country. As a
matter OF fact, the staunch Mis-
sourian WAS u progressive before

denote any particular faction. He

adopted BY Missouri In 1880. Thi.
law has been = model for o1has
states and has resulted in the hest

state. And the chief booster for
that law was Champ Clark.
Clark voted for the initiative and
referendum that WAS submitted tn

and secured the Australian ballof

PRE-. .ARATION OF LAND
EOR CROP OF Fix

The preparation of land for fax
will vary a little, according to
whether it is grown on new" land
or ''old" land. If fax is to be put
out on breaking. the preparation of
the land will depend upon whether
the breaking is on sod or sage
brush land. II there is q good,
strong sod covering the ground, the
best method is to make the first
breaking shallow. from two to three
inches. The sod should be rolled
down perfectly fiat behind the
breaker. 1t is sometimes neces-
sary to harrow or disk slightly to
make a slight surface mulch, but
this is not always necessary. Local
conditions will usually indicate
whether this is necessary or not.
In seed bed prepared this way.
broken early in the spring. fax can
be seeded at the proper time. using
disk press drill. Flax can be
drilled through the sod into the
moist soil below the sod. The break
ing will be thin enough to permit
the fax to come up and will also be
thick enough to form . mulch.
On sage brush lands. after the
sage brush has been cleared, the
land should be plowed deeply. eight
to ten inches. The plowing should
be followed with disk and spike
tooth harrow in order to prepare
good seed bed. This plowing and
preparation should be done as long
before seeding as possible in order
to permit of thorough settling prior
to seeding. On old lands, the lands
should be plowed early and deeply
and better still, fall plowed, and the
same treatment given as indicated
for sage brush lands.
After the first year on sod land,
the plowing should be very deep,
not only to make better catch
ment reservoir at the surface for
catching rainfall, but to more
thoroughly mix the organic matter
with the top soil and prevent its
burning OUT.
Flax Is not an especially tender
plant. although 1t will not stand
heavy freezing. Light frosts will
not injure it. Owing to the fact
that fax requires relatively moist |
and cool conditions. for its early |
1t is we'll to plant the |
crop as soon as possible. The time |
Of planting should be 80 guaged as |
to miss any heavy freezes which are |
normal to a locality. For most of |
the plains region. fax can be put in !
the latter part of April or early In |
May. 1t can be planted as early or
a little earlier than corn.
