Begin Fly Swatting Early.

The most effective time to fight is
before the enemy is ready. Why not
open a swatting campaign before the
fly is ready? That would give a
strategic advantage which would
keep the pest in check.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than a fiyless nation
or course, ii is hardly possible to ELI
inmate all flies, but experiments have
shown that flies can be eliminated to
such an extent that they will be hard
ly noticeable.
Flies breed In manure and other
animal and vegetable waste. BY
eliminating these breeding places OF
by treating them with substances
which will kill the fly larvae, flies
can be almost entirely eliminated
from any farm or community.
By starting early, any community
can practically eliminate the fly
nuisance but II tho fly is given an
opportunity to propagate, extermin.
