The basketball season in Augusta
was opened Wednesday evening at
City hall with the fastest game that
the Capital City has ever witnessed, in
which the Augusta quintet took the

ton team into camp by the score OF II
TO 81. The game was preceded by
preliminary game in which the teams
we're made up Of local players, the
quintet known as the French defeating
the Germans by the score OF Il to 8.
Bob Vance, formerly of the Troy. N.
V, team. Worlds champions, was cas-
lily. the star Of the main game. He COW
cred a lot of space and his work OF
shooting nine goals from the floor was
a revelation to all present.
Finn and McCarty of the Augusta
team. who are undoubtedly two of the
best players in New England, played
a strong game. Mccarthy covered to
perfection while Finn was everywhere
present and shot total of seven goals
from the floor. The work of Smith,
Light and Stuart of the local team also
deserves great praise.
Augusta had the better of the bar
gain from the very beginning Of the
game. the score at the end of the first
Of the three periods being IA to in
its favor. In the next period the local
quintet proved its superiority by get
ting a total of eight goals from the
floor and holding the visiting team
down to one basket. 1t was in the last
period that the Lawrence boys showed
up the strongest and succeeded in get
ting six goals and a point on foul.
Augusta netted IS points in that period.
Smith and Waite were the stars for
the Lawrence team. while Wilson
played a good game at right forward.

USE POWDERED BORAX
FOR FLY PREVENTION
EtOmologist Recommends inexpensive
Method of Spraying for Eggs
and Young

Clemson College, Feb. 27.-Swat
the fly before he become fly, will
be the principal point of attack in
the Clemson College anti-fy cam
paign this spring and summer. Swat
the fly while he is still an egg or
maggot. 1t is cheaper, easier, and
much more practical The best
way is to spray COW or horse ma
nure, the most common breeding
place for flies, with something that
will kill the eggs and maggots. Or
dinary commercial powdered borax
is recommended for this purpose by
A. F. Conrad, state etomologist
and head of the chronological divi-
sion of Clemson College.
The directions which Prof. Con-
radi gives are to be found in slight
ly fuller form in Bulletin No. lis
of the federal bureau of entomology.
This is technical or professional
bulletin, however, and Prof. Conradi
has altered the form of the di-
rections somewhat to suit them bet
ter to the requirements of South
Caroline farmers and householders
and has reprinted them in little
circular which may be obtained by
any one writing to the college.
The bureau of entomology ad-
vises applying heapng pint meas
ure of two teacupfuls of powdered
borax to every eight bushels of
manure. Apply the borax particu-
larly around the outer edges of the
pile with flour sitter or any fine
sieve, and sprinkle two or three
gallons of water over the manure
when it has been treated. Apply the
borax to the fresh manure imme-
diately after it's removal from the
stable.
Flies lay their eggs in fresh ma
nure. When the boraX comes in
contact with the eggs, it prevents
their Matching. The maggots CON
gregate at the outer edges of ma
nure pile, so that most Of the borax
should be applied there.
The directions given above apply
especially to horse manure. How
ever, the bureau advises using the
same treatment for fly eggs and
maggots in other manures and also
suggests applying powdered boraX
to garbage and refuse of all sorts.
Water should be applied after the
borax has been applied.
Applications of borax in the horse
stable and cow barn should be fire.
quent and regular. These are the
two principal sources of flies and,
| accordingly, of a number of kinds
of disease germs, since they furnish
the flies which carry the germs.
