London. Jan 3l.--The remarkable
stand which has been made by Major
General Charles V. T.. ToWnshend and
his comparatively small body Of Brit
ish troops at Kut- FL Amara, Mesopo-
tamia, where for nearly two months
they have been besieged by a large
army Of Turks, has raised General
ToWnshend to high place in the es-
TEEN of the English public, some mill
itary critics hailng him as one Of
the most brilliant soldiers the empire
has produced.
During the long siege General
Townshend has beaten off all attacks
of the ottoman troops and kept his
little force intact Every dispatch
from the commander has been read
with deepest interest. by the public
that has feared that the relieving
army which is said to have been held
up by natural obstacles. would reach
Kut- El-Amara too late. General
Townshend's recent report that no
had sufficient supplies partly relieved
the minds of the British people who
are now anXicusly awaiting the out
come.
When the fun story is told of the
battle of Ctesiphon, where the Brit
ish repulsed the Turks. the retreat to
Kut--and the siege, it is expected to
make as thrilling a chapter as any
in the history Of the worlds war. The
conflict at Ctesiphon was desperate

as fercely as any Of his soldiers, VINO

Townshend ward off the
Turks but he did so with loss in

and he succeeded in taking with him

General Townshend is said to have

We will say that you discover full
grown fly in the house on the first
warm day in April. You get out your
trusty swatter and plaster your enemy.
Suppose now that this victim is an old
female which has lived through the
winter and has just wandered into the
kitchen hunting for food after laying
120 eggs in the manure pile in your
back yard-a fly lays 12O eggs at set
ting.
Five days later these eggs hatch 100
maggots. Fourteen days from the time
of the original laying 120 new flies
are on the job ready to mate and null
tiply-and multiply they do. By the
middle of July, with reasonable fly
luck, there will be on hand to poster
you and carry disease into your home
more than 25,000,000 great-great grand
children of the one you killed. Science
says so.
The sensible thing to do is go after
the manure pile-the favorite fy-nest-
ing spot. Remove manure oftener
than once a week. If that is impos-
sible treat it with chemicals to kill the
fly maggots. According to the Interna-
tional Harvester company's bulletin,
this mixture will destroy maggots:
Spray pounds of sugar sulphate of
iron in 1 gallon Of water on every 10
pounds of manure, The cost of this
treatment is 2 cents a day for each
horse. Cheaper than doctor bills!

KEEP WEEDS IN CONTROL

(By G. e. Alfred, Division or Exten-,
sion, University of Tennessee)
Especially in the control of weeds
work done at the proper time results
In q great saving of labor. The chieiI
purpose of cultivation is to control
weeds. The time to kill weeds is when
they are just sprouting, before they
can be seen readily. If one uses a
weeder or other tool that will cover
wide area, at frequent intervals, the
weeds may be controlled at small cost
Then, too, proper crop rotation will
go far In reducing the cost of weed
control.
