FLIES are not only a nuisance
but they are danger to health,
since it has been proven that
they carry filth and germs on
their feet and scatter diseases
among our people everywhere.
Why not swat the fly before 1t
matches? This is easily done,
because flies breed in vegetable
and animal waste, and II we
treat the manure piles on the
place or spread them over the
fields for fertilizer before the
flies hatch we will destroy the
flies at the same time, This is
also true of all garbage and de-
caying vegetable matter. Fly
campaigns are good things but
they do very littly to eXtermlnate
the fly. If we are to materially
reduce his numbers we must do
so while he is in the egg stage.
Destroy the breeding places now
and you will not be troubled with
flies later on in the season. For
mulas for spraying materials can
be secured by writing Miss lsa-
belle Thursby, Specialistin Home
Economics with the Extension
Division of the University of
Arkansas.
