FLIES TO Be fewer
/. BY SEVERAL BILLION
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS FLY
TRAPS HAVE ALREADY COUNT
ED OUT s,oooyooo.ooo


Several billion less flies In Rich
mond September 10, 1914. the end OF
the fly breeding season, according to
experts than there were September
10th year ago, IL the aim of Fl. L.
Gregory. the OFFICIAL fy nuisance abater
of the Richmond health department. II
is figured that at this time more than
three billion flies have already been
eliminated from the flnal count
The setting of ten of Mr.. Gregory's
mammoth fly traps in the vegetable
section and of nine in the meat section
OF the Sixth-street market has been
productive of these results. The traps
have been dumped twice and 100000
flies killed in the two dumpings. Ac-
cording to estimate made by Mr.. Greg
DRY yesterday afternoon. there are more
than a hundred thousand flies now in
the traps which will be dumped again
on Friday.
The more than half million flies
killed in the ten days the traps have
been in use means that more than a
half million flies cannot multiply. And
multiplication by one fly In given by
those who have made a study of the
pest as 1900 in twenty days.
1t was figured at the health board
office yesterday that there are yet
twenty five days of the fly propagating
season. and to make the figures con-
sentative the figures given by experts
were cut In half. Calculation based
on each fly being responsible for 36oo
in the next twenty-five days showed
that there VIII be at least three billion
flies less at the end of the season than
there would have been had not the
traps been put into use.
The ACCESSIBILITY of placing more OF
the traps In the other markets Is be-
ing considered by DR.. Levy, head oi
the health department, and 1t is prob
able that additional traps will be
placed
