BIRDS DESTROYING FRUIT BUDS

Statements have recently appeared
in the newspapers calling attention to
the fact that birds were eating the
fruit buds upon peach trees in certain
sections of the State. |
This is not infrequently done b4
some birds in the early spring just
about the time the buds are swellingl
according to the Horticulturist at thd
New Jersey Experiment Stations wild
states further that fruit trees Should
be sprayed with concentrated lime3
sulfur for the control of scale and
plant diseases as soon as the weathe1
becomes favorable in early spring. Ia
the trees have been sprayed with this
material the birds will cause no furth
er damage to fruit buds, as the odon
and flavor of the lime-sulfur is not I'd
their liking.
Fruit growers need not be alarmed,
Therefore declares the Experiment Sta1
ton official, if they find any of oul|
common birds picking off and eating 4
few of the buds in early spring|
Prompt spraying of the orchards Nth
lime-sulfur will prevent further DAM
age, and the birds will not be des1
troyed or driven away.

Their Great Scheme.

A local couple, recently married, hit
upon a scheme for saving what they
figured was just about right. Each
month they would save a certain sum
each day. The first day n cent, the
second day two cents, third four cents.
Each day the amount was to be doub-
led until the end of 80 days. By that
time they would have a tidy sum laid
away.
Before starting the husband figured
out Just how much would be accumu-
lated in this way. After laborious
work he found the amount to be some
thing like $5,300,000, so after con-
sidering the matter they decided that
one dollar a week would be about their
speed.-Youngstown Telegram,

From these figures it will be very
clear that every fly killed in the early
spring will add greatly to the COM
fort and safety of the human race.
"The Importance of the fly as a
carrier or distributor of disease has
been demonstrated again and again.
There is nothing too filthy for the fly
to eat. The fly should be extermin-
ated not only because of his filthy
habits, but also becausce he is dan
gerous to humanity. He visits patti
ents who are sick with typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and other germ diseases
and by means of his feet, his hairy
legs and body he trails the disease
producing bacteria everywhere he
goes"
Careful examination, according to
the Experiment Station specialist,
shows that each fly, on the average,
carries about n million, five hundred
thousand germs of various kinds on
its body.
All flies breed in filth, either decay
ing animal or vegetable matter. The
larva or maggot requires at least
twelve days for development to the
adult fly. If places where refuse is
kept are cleaned frequently there will
be no chance for the breeding of flies.
Special stress is laid upon the nee
essity of keeping food away from
contamination by the flies. The New
Jersey Station specialist calls atten-
ton to the danger of not protecting
the child's nursing bottle and nipple
from this dangerous ource of disease.
Butchers, grocers and restaurant
keepers should protect from flies the
food which is offered for sale, and
consumers should refuse to purchase
from dealers whose places are not so
protected. Flies are plentiful in COM
munities in direct proportion to that
communities filthiness.

KILL THE FLY WHICH HAS SUR
VIVED THE WINTER.

During the first warm days Of the
spring flies which have wintered over
creep out of their hiding places. Cap
turing and killing as many as possible
of these large flies as they buzz
against the window panes or bask in
the warm sunshine means a great re-
duction in the number of filthy, germ
carrying enemies of the human race.
This is the warning sounded by the
extension specialist in home economics
at the New Jersey Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station.
According to the same authority,
figures which have been worked out
by Investigators show the appalling
numbers which may result from the
survival of one female fly which has
lived through the winter. These fig
ures are as follows:
