Expect Big Slaughter.

How many flies will be destroyed by

problematical. especially on account of
the fact that the insects are reported in

the two million and half mark. the
exact number being 1858, 600. Contestants

Longest Campaign on Record.

The Stars campaign, extending over
period of five months, will be the longest
on record this year. Inaugurated in May,
the local crusade will not terminate until
the end Of September. The value Of the
monthly prizes and the grand awards to
be presented at the close Of the cam
paign will approximate 5000.
There has been no let-up in the activi-
ties of the youth of the capital directed
toward the extinction Of the insect re-
garded as the principal enemy of COM
munitys health. In May. when the dis
ease-carriers were just beginning to ap-
pear, the total destruction of flies by The
Stars crusaders amounted to approx
mately half a million. The record for
June was three millions. Last month the
slaughter jumped to the twelve million
mark.
The value of the campaign has not
been expressed in the actual numbers of
insects slaughtered but in the fact that
millions OF the pests. as the result OF
the destruction of SO many ancestors.
have been prevented from coming into
existence. When the fact that eight bill
lion flies may spring from a single female
ancestor in one season is taken into ac-
count. it is easy to see what tremen-
dous effect the slaughter of half million
insects in May would have in reducing
the size of the fly population ultimately
to be developed during the season.

Will Show Good of Crusade.

Should the result show that there has
been an Improvement in health condi-
tons in the localities where systematic
effort has been made to abolish flies,
whereas in those municipalities where
the insects have remained unmolested no
reductions have been recorded in the
number of summer diseases as COM
pared with former years, the practical
bility Of fly wars will have been SO def
nitely established, it is believed. that by
another season practically the whole ma
ton will be striving for the abolition Of
the dread germ Spreader.
For this reason great importance at
taches to the inquiry to be conducted by
DR.. Murray. 1t is not unlikely that the
DR.. L. o. Howard Of the bureau of ento-
mology in new edition of his book,
THE House Fly and Disease" as DR..
Murray has promised to turn over to the
government official any important facts
that may be developed in connection with
the campaign.
Many cities and small towns through
out the United States have waged cru
sades against the fly this summer, and
the coming fall and winter will witness
the checking up of results by local au-
thorities to ascertain whether the efforts
that were made to abolish the insect
calculations, it is expected, will depend
the future of anti-fy campaigns. If
there should be such an Improvement in
health conditions generally as has been
recorded already in Washington it prac-
tically is a certainty that the war on
flies next year will be much more Of a
national undertaking.

GIvINe the FARMER
CHEAPER MONEY

American farmers use an average
of about six billion dollars OF bor-
rowed capital in their business, and
pay, according to recent government
data, much higher-perhaps nearly
twice az high-interest rates ~
European farmers pay for like &C.
commodations.
II they could get money at Euro
pean rates. that is, the cost Of the
loans would be reduced pretty
nearly one half. That would not
only effect an immediate and not
able reduction In the expense Of
producing the things whose advanc-
ing prices justify most OF the COM
plant about the cost OF living. but
it would attract into agriculture q
vast number of people who cannot
now afford to get In.

tions from a recent investigation OF
