that their profits are largest in sea

crop is light and prices high. Irriga-

squad left here late yesterday for
Peytonia, Boone county, where in a
riot with striking miners yesterday
afternoon Deputy Sheriff Sutphin was
fatally shot.
Sheriff Sidney White called upon
Governor Glasscock for troops, declar-
ing he was unable to handle the sit
uation. Few details have yet been re-
ceived of the trouble.
Peytonia adjoins the Paint Creek
region where miners have been on
strike for several months. Sutphin
was called to dispense band of strik-
ers, who attempted to disarm him.
Acknowledgement Elliott accompanied
the troops. They reached Peytonia
early last night.
Following the reported killing of
Deputy Sheriff Erwin Sutphin, tele-
phone wires connecting Peytonia with
nearby towns were cut and few de-
tails have been received here.

hours because of the refusal of a con
ductor to hold his train until baggage
could be loaded. Company NJ, Second
Infantry, in command OF Captain L. G.
Levy, the machine gun squad, in com
mand of Capt John C. Hutsinpiller,
compose the troops sent to the scene.

TIME TO SWAT THE
TYPHOID FLY HARD
An Effort Should Be Made To Rid
City Of pest--Exampies Of
Other Cities

AS this is the time Of the year
when the flies are visiting all Sec
tions of the country and spreading
disease, a great cry has gone forth to
swat the pest, and thereby rid the
country of a nuisance.
In Martinsburg there has been no
concerted action among the people
for that particular purpose
er has been an effort made by any
organization to rid the city of the
detestable little animals,
In some cities OF the state the civic
clubs have instituted crusades
against the fly, and have enlisted in
the good work all of the children, and
to encourage them prizes have been
offered.
For instance, Fairmont two weeks
ago started a movement to rid that
city OF flies. On Saturday monster
parade was given over the principal
streets by the children, and each one
carried a fly killer The civic club
announced that the child or children
killing the most flies within a speei
fled time would be rewarded. The
result was that there was not enough
prizes for all, and to encourage the
children, sufficient prizes were Sc
cured and the demand was supplied
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1912-07-27

This is only one example of many
which can be citedsk. the, state. II
the Martinsburg people would mani
fest little more interest in the cru.
SADIE against the fly, no doubt there
would be less disease in the city. It
is certainly well known to all that the
fly is a disease spreader, and when
they swarm in great number around
the homes. business places, and the
filth of the streets it is high time that
some steps be taken to get rid OF
them.
Why should there not be a move
ment inaugurated in the city against
the fly? 1t would not require much
effcrt to enlist every child in the city
in the fight, and the result would be
many more times worth the effort
and the prizes awarded.
The very height OF the fly season is
on, and anyone can get them by the
quart and peck If you grow tired of
swattiag them, get a trap. They are
easier and collect faster. Make them
at home, too. Take some old worn
out window screens or close wire net
ting, shape it like a box with an old
tin funnel in the bottom. Put some
sugar, or molasses water, or some
other tempting sweet under the fun
nell and just simply chase them up In
the cage. Then they are too dumb to
get out and just naturally starve 10
death. Or. II YOU want 10 collect fast
er hot water does the trick.
There is lots of time left for the en-
ergetic swatter, for during the re-
mainder of this month and August.
the flies will be here in abundance.
Fly swatting contests are being
held successfully all over the coun-
FRY Last year in a little town in Texas
there was killed a pile of flies three
feet high and FIVE feet in diameter.
containing an estimate Of 1850, 900
flies.
Let the Martinsburg people get
busy and see what can be done to-
wards exterminating this pest in the
city. BY so doing there will be less
sickness in the city and especially t.
phoid fever
Have for your motto and practice
it, the words SWAT THE FLY!

Orchard Notes

Many growers say that weeds are
as valuable as fertilizers as clover and
cow peas If they are burned under
every year
The grower who will sort his apples
into two or more grades, packed well,
will get more money for his fruit than
the one who throws all kinds togeth-
er in a barrel and places layer of
the best ones on top.
The city dealer profits by the lazi-
ness of the grower by grarding and re-
packing his badly sorted fruit
That corky old apple, the Ben Davis
still holds a high price in the city
markets because its fine appearance
deceives the ignorant buyer.

Feeding Dairy Cows

Fill the producing cows up on clover
hay or alfalfa hay if you can get it in
stead of fodder or other coarse stuff
containing low feed values.
The sensible dairyman does not ex-
pect something for nothing, and COW
cannot give q full flow of milk on
feeds that do not contain sufficient
milk elements.
Oats, wheat, bran OIL meal and
shorts should supplement the clover
hay.
Feed some ground corn, but do not
make it the sole concentrated ration.

Save Farm Fertility

One of the farmers most serious
problems is how TO keep up the fertil-

a great deal of fertilizing material is
allowed to run off in liquids. If we

soil big bill on commercial fertiliz-
ers could be saved. Then the ques-
ton: Which will be best? Can there
be but one answer?
