Dear telloW-nlenbers OF the S f. s. G.
These are busy days for Peter Rabbit
but busy they are I happen to know
that they are the happiest in Peters
whole life. And it is all on account of
the Bedtime Stories Club. The first thing
Peter says when he sees me coming is
How many more members?" And when
tell him he IS in such a hurry to spread
the news over the Green Meadows and
through the Green Forest that he forgets
to be polite and the first thing I know
all can see of them is the white patch
on the seat of his trousers, as he hurries
off lipperty-lipperty-lip.
/ am almost as excited and quite as
pleased over it as Peter and his friends
are. You see, I love every one of them
dearly and / know just how hard the
lives OF most of them are, largely be-
cause of the heedlessness and thought
lessness of We humans. That is why l
write the Bedtime Stories-to try to make
you and everybody who will read them
acquainted with these little friends and
help you to understand them and want
to help them. Now each one Of you can
help right now if you really want to. You

happier and easier for our dear little wild
friends. Won't you do this for them
and for me? Also, remember that on hot
dry days. Jenny Wren and all the other
little fathered people get very thirsty,
just as you do. 1t isn't always easy for
them to find water to drink. If you will

TO PREVENT OUTBREAK
OF THE STABLE FLY
u u 8. y I. ;: .. q - II :, s ;, - Il :,

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE stock
men of north Texas, Oklahoma, and
the grain belt to the north are now
confronted with conditions which
may bring about a serious outbreak
of the stable fly similar to that eX-
perienced in north Texas and other
parts of the grain belt in 1912. The
so-Called stable fly is the insect
which closely resembles the horse
fly, but is capable of causing much
annoyance to live stock by its pain
full bite. which is inflicted with a
sharp proboscis or beak. 1t is some
times spoken of as the biting house
fly" wild fly" or straw fly" When
it is not biting the point of this beat
may be seen projecting slightly in
front of the head. The body of the
insect is also slightly more robust
than that of the house fly, and the
abdomen rather more distinctly mark
ed with dark patches.
The unusually large grain crop of
this year will give rise to very
large number of straw stacks. A con
siderable number of flies are now
present and with a period of rainy
weather we may expect a horde of
them three weeks later 1t has been
shown by Investigations conducted by
the bureau of entomology that these
flies breed extensively in fermenting
straw. Oat straw and rice straw are
preferred by the fly for its breeding,
although in the absence of these the
straw OF wheat, rye or barley, if in
the proper state of fermentation, will
produce large number of them.
Manure acts as a breeding medium
throughout the year; this is espec
tally true of horse manure. The
breeding is increased when straw used
as bedding is intermiXed. Although
manure produces a sufficient number
of stable flies to prove very annoying
to stock it appears that very severe
and widespread outbreaks are large
ly attributable to the breeding of the
pest in straw stacks. The destruc
ton of the stable fly in the first
instance may be brought about by
the scattering of the manure upon
fields, thus causing the drying out Of
pItcuiHB lhdtciidl anu inc CohScuutht
destruction of the larvae. Where it
is not practicable to scatter the man
ure on fields the same results may be
accomplished by treating it with bo
raX at the rate of so pounds to s
bushels of manure. The powdered bo
raX should be scattered over the en-
tire surface Of the manure pile. As
fresh manure is added it should be
treated with boraX at intervals of
