noticed the absence of flies? From
almost every city in the state comes
the same report-the flies are. to use
a hackneyed phrase, most conspicuous
by their absence. We cannot credit

best ~1y-breeding weather in May and
early June. Yet the flies did not
come.
The public surely is justified in con.
GLIDING that the anti-1y campaign is
to be given the credit for the reduc-
ton and almost annihilation of the
pestiferous and dangerous fly. Some
folks scofed when the matter was
first proposed. But persistently the
movement was kept going. The third
year is beginning to show the bene-
fetal results in pleasing degree.
Now that it has been demonstrated
that it is possible to completely drive
the flies out, there ought to be in
creased effort in this direction. Keep
the premises clean. Allow no filth to
accumulate, no manure to offer
refuge. Never cease swatting.
