ELIMINATE THE FLY

During the present hot weather
every one is fighting the house fly.
BY expenditure of sufficient pains,
any one may prevent flies breeding
on his premises, but this will not rid
him of the danger from flies if his
neighbors are careless.
There is, however, no excuse at the
present time for permitting flies to
breed in anything like the numbers
in which they have done in the past.
The vast majority of flies develop
from eggs which are laid in horse
manure, and there is simple way of
destroying teh larvae, as the young
insects or maggots, which hatch from
the eggs are called. Sprinkling the
manure heap with solution of "
pound Of powdered hellebore and 10
gallons of water will destroy, ac-
cording to recent experiments, from
8S to SO percent of the larvae in the

DO NOT WASTE THE STRAW

Theh practice of burning straw is
not as common in Ohio as it is in
some of the more western states.
However, many farmers do not real
ize the true value of the straw stack.
The fertilizing value of the straw
from a ten acre wheat field is from
$25 to $40. If the straw is used as
bedding and the manure used, this
value of the straw is saved and in ad-
dition thus used will absorb a large
of liquid manure that might
otherwise be wasted.

In his blunt, honest fashion State
Auditor Vic Donahey has issued a
statement of his analysis of appro-
priations by the Willis legislature.
He minces no words in attacking the
growing expenditures and shows that
the word economy" in connection
with the present administration is a
misnomer. By his figures it is shown
that the Willis general assembly ap-
propriated $49,OOO,OOO exclusive of
the building fund, and then reappro-
priated so as to absorb all balances.
The Cox administration for the last
fiscal year expended 18, 1,993.44,
and that was the year when most of
the new governmental agencies were
going into effect. The Willis ad-

PRINTED LETTER HEADS AND
BANK CHECKS

Let the banker be your bookkeep-
er. A Cancelled check is a good and
double receipt. The check and its
stub are both silent, sure witnesses
that you paid the bill if any one dis
putes. The farmer ought to have a
check book, and his name and ad-
dress printed on the checks. That is
the way the business man does it..
The farmer must learn the art of be-
ing a business man.
Farmers are getting printed letter
heads. They are adding their wife's
name. They also add the name of
the bank at which they do business.
It's both dollars and sense. The
best credential a, farmer ca nhave is
the name of his bank printed on his
letter heads.
Try it, Mr. Farmer. 1t costs lit
tie. It's worth lot. The Agricul-
tural Commission believes that it is
the farmers duty to be a business
man in every sense of the word.
