was given the title Of champion
fly CATCHER last year because he
was the cause of the untimely
demise of more than a million of
them.
He secured results with little
trap he made himself of couple
of pieces of wire netting. He
twisted, one of these, into cylin-
der about five. inches in diameter
and the second he made into a
cone with which he capped the
first. The places where the net
ting joined were carefully stopped
by fastening the web of the wire
firmly together.

fastenings, as it was highly desir-

the trap was full. Three or four
Sits about half an inch or an inch
in length were cut in the netting
just about the wooden base. The
bait, a piece of sugar or anything
flies are supposed to have fond
ness for, was placed on the inside
of the trap and black cloth was
wrapped about the entire cylin-

cone shaped top.

inventor plunged it into boiling

again.
