Topeka FLYLESS.

Continued from Page One.1
able enthusiasm, or possibly despera-
ton and a desire for vengeance on the
fly, offered SIS for the first peck of
flies delivered at his office. That was
easy money. The very next day a
country boy presented the mayor with
peck of flies and demanded the So.
Mayor Cofran paid the money, but felt
that he had been tricked He refused
to renew the offer.
AS result of the incident a dis.
cussion arose over the possibility of
Kidding Topeka of flies. Ramsey
thought it could be done. ''Joshed"
by newspaper reporters, he was goad-
ed into making an offer for flies. He
agreed to pay so cents per peck for all
flies delivered to him in the City hall.
First Fly Harvest.
The boys and girls of the city got
busy and were soon bringing in flies in
buckets, baskets and paper bags. At
the close of the season 1913, the sum-
mer's harvest of flies was taken to
the city crematory and burned. There
were 40 quarts of the insects.
Among them were many of the
stable or horsefly variety. Horse
owners too noticed that the horses
were not tortured as they formerly
We're. Fly nets were not needed, and
their sale was curtailed. Housewives
noticed the difference in the fall of
this first year of the campaign.
There was a noticea BILE reduction in
the number of flies the following
spring. Housewives and restaurant
keepers commented fayorably The
city was encouraged to continue the
campaign. But flies were. so scarce
that children found it no longer profit
able to trap them at the former prices.
So the amount of the bounty was
practically doubled, 10 cents per quart
being paid. The city required that all
flies offered for purchase be in sealed
bottles, the city giving clean bottles
in exchange.
But although the price was double
what it had been the year preceding,
there was a remarkable falling off in
the number of flies captured. Their
numbers had been reduced at the
source of supply by the campaign of
the previous year. For more than two
onths the offer of ten cents a quart
remained open and during that time
only "a quarts of flies were captured.
Flies were so scarce the bounty was
discontinued.
But in September Of the same year
in answer to a challenge that there
were still flies in Topeka, bounty
was again offered and this time it was
increased to Is cents per quart. Only
seven quarts resulted. These seven
quarts were made up by persons who
had failed to capture quart alone.
They combined their catches to make
the seven quarts. This ended the
campaign for 1914.
In order to catch the early flies a
bounty of 81 per quart for all flies cap
tured during the month of May was
offered. During the month of June
the city will pay so cents per peck for
flies. Up to the present only one
quart of flies has been presented in
claim for the bounty this season.
Prices Go Up.
The success of Topekas fly cam
paign is we'll indicated in the increases
made in the bountieS. The city is now
paving as much for one quart of flies
as it paid for eight quarts two years
ago. Notwithstanding this increase in
rewards, the number of flies captured
fell from 14S quarts in 1913 to forty
