Maggot Trap Prevents the
Breeding of the House Fly

N MAGGOT trap which will practically
~ prevent the breeding of the housefly
is described in a new bulletin OF the
United States Department of Agriculture,
No. 200. "A Maggot Trap in Practical
Use; an Experiment in Housefy Control
The investigators who carried on this ex-
pertinent at the Maryland Agricultural
College declare that during August and
September at least 80 per cent of the lar
vac breeding in the manure were de-
stroyed. and although the trap was not so
efficient when the weather became colder,
even then it greatly reduced the num-
Der of flies.
The principle of the trap is simple. ii
is easy to construct, and the expense is
said to be probably less in the long run
than the investment which many farm
ers now make in screens for their dwell
ings. and sprays and fynets for their live
stock. In its toughest outlines the trap
consists of a concrete basin with a lat
ticed wooden platform erected upon it to
hold the manure
The basin is connected by a drain pipe
with q small concrete cistern. The bot
tom of the basin is filled with water into
which the maggots breeding m the ma
nure drop, as they are about to turn in
the pupa or chrysalis stage, and are
drowned. At frequent intervals the water
is run OF into the cistern and is then
pumped back on the manure pile. In this
way all the liquid manure is saved.
The successful operation of this trap
rests upon several facts connected with
the habits of the housefy which have
been thoroughly established by observa-
ton.
The adult fly lays its eggs in fresh ma
nure. There they remain until the larva
stage is almost over and the insects are
about to enter the pupa or chrysalis
stage. At this time a pronounced ten
dency to migrate is evident. In conse-
quence IL the manure is placed upon a
platform with a la%tticework bottom the
larvae. while migrating, will fall through
these openings into the water in the basin

Radical improvements for
Marketing Maine Potatoes

A GREAT deal of potatoes damaged by
"a the early freeze Of last year in Maine
was sent to New York and resulted in a
heavy loss. At one time this trouble be-
came so marked that the New York mar
ket grew tired of it and sought New
York state potatoes, almost to the entire
exclusion Of the Maine product. To i'm
prove marketing conditions ON Maine po-
~tatoes, the Department of Agriculture
recommends radical improvements in the
following respects:
/. The establishment Of uniform
grades and brands.
2. Greater care in handling potatoes
from the field to the wholesaler.
3. Thorough inspection of all eating
and seed stock.
A. The adoption of seed types, stand
ards and guarantees.
Uniform grades and standards for po-
tatoes, as for any other crop. tend to
establish confidence between buyer and
consumer. They also help greatly to elim-
ultimately divided between the grower
and the consumer.
1t seems quite apparent that Maine po-
tatogrowers must join in an efficient CO.
operative marketing organization if they
are to succeed in lettering their market
ing conditions. Working individually, they
lave little chance to standardize their
product or insure proper returns for 1t.
To bring about improvements that count,
they must join their forces aud so place
themselves in position to cope with the
problems that face them.

CUTLER WELL COMPLETED

A sufficient amount of water to irrigate quarter section of land has
 been struck on the Ben Wheeler homestead six miles south and east of Mesa and on a line about directly south of the Wilbur-Dorman tract. The well which is also known as the l.. w. Cutler property was dug to a depth of ninety feet about two or three years ago and q large size gas engine and centrifugal pump in stalled. Something like $300O was expended on the plant when it was discovered that the dug well was in sufficient and it was found neces- sary to go to a greater depth. The sixteen inch drill was sent down to a depth of no feet farther, making the total depth of the well 200 feet As a result a flow of water has been reached which rises in the hole to the ninety foot level The drilling was done by Wm. Crouch The drill ling of the Wheeler well brings in q fine section of the country under the present area and will mean much to that section of the country More over, the well rig is to be moved from the Wheeler location to a des- ert land claim belonging to MT. Cut Ter and another well put down.

Ted Roberts aged 14, Tommy Clark
 aged II, and Willie Gillispie aged II years, were arrainged yesterday af-
 ternoon on a charge of entering the A. X B. warehouse Sunday evening between the hours of five and six O. clock with the intent of committing; larceny The youngsters will be com pelled to appear before the juvenile court. It is said that the boys made entrance to the warehouse by pulling off a piece of tin and when caught had appropriated some eatables in the way of crackers and codfish. It is alleged that they were seen to enter the place and MT Bracket was mo- tified by Nate Hart who witnessed the performance. Mr. Bracket came up town and two of the boys were in tercepted in the act while the third was found stationed on the outside supposedly for the purpose of keep ing guard. At the jail the boys are sad to have confessed that they also broke into the Lesueur Grocery store a few weeks ago as well as the Les ueur-Spilsbury companys store at which time a few dollars in change was secured. It is said that the Roberts boy also confessed to the finding of the purse belonging to Mrs w. L. Summers and apropriating the money found therein, amounting to nearly s10 to his own use. The purse and some of the contents was later found by officer Peyton where it had been cached. It will be recalled that Rev. and Mrs. Summers stopped in front of the express office about month ago and that Mrs. Summers stepped upon the scales to be weighed. She handed her purse to
