BINDER TWINE TO COST LESS
Food Administration Effects Redue-
tion Of 3 Cents a Pound for
Next Year.

Binder twine for the harvest of 1919
will cost the American farmer about
8 cents a pound less than he has paid
this year, the Missouri division Of the
Food Administration announces. The
estimated total saving to grain grow
ers of the United States is $4,000, 900.
This announcement follows an ar
rangement the Food Administration
has made with the Comision Regula-
dora, the Yucatan monopoly controll-
ing sisal, whereby the comision has
contracted to sell 100000 bales Of sisal
to twine mills of this country at a
price cents a pound less than year
ago.
That quantity of sisal represents the
principal supply of fibre needed to
manufacture binder twine for the
grain harvest OF 1919. To maintain an
economical operation of twine mills
in the United States, sisal is contract
ed for about a year ahead and is man
ufactured into the finished twine
throughout the year. BY the new ar
rangements, the cost of sisal will be
approximately 16 cents wholesale at
gulf ports, compared with 10 cents a
pound for the sisal used in making the
twine for the present harvest.

PUBLIC HEALTH-THE
FLY is DANGEROUS.

Flies are natural feeders upon
filth. They gorge upon feces, and
thus become infected internally and
externally. They gather disease
germs from cupsidors, and from the
noses and mouths of patients, and
from suppuraIting sores.
Other sources of infection must
be remembered. Soil exposed to the
bright sun for six hours after it has
been wet with the urine of ty-
phoid carrier produces living ty-
phoid bacilli, and the surface of
ground covering typhoid discharges
yields living typhoid beacteria for
40 days
Sometimes flies directly infect
people by depositing the germs up
on mucous membranes or even on
the skin.
Biting 1ies may infect thru the
skin. The most common method,
however, is by dopoCiting the germs
in or on articles OF food, especially
milk. Very frequently 1t is by de-
posting the germs upon empty
dishes, which in turn infect the
milk or other articles of food placed
in them.
Milk, being a good culture me-
dium for bacteria, is not only easily
infected but it may produce an
enormous number of germs in few
hours.
The fly problem is not solved by
screens, nor "swatting," nor trap
ping, for they breed faster than
they can be killed. A fly lays from
100 to $50 oggs at time and may
lay as many as 1000 in single
season.
Care of garbage is not the solu-
tion, for the garbage can is only one
OF the fly restaurants.
determination of flies depends
chiefly upon the SUCCESS with which
their breeding is prevented, and
these other measures are simply
aids which are without much value
by themselves. Intelligent warfare
against this enemy must therefore
be guided by q knowledge of fly
habits.
