PREVENT FLY PLAGUE
BEFORE HOT SEASON
Insect Carries Disease From In
feCted Animals.
Stable Refuse Should Be Scattered at
Regular Intervals Throughout Sea-
son-BuIetin Gives Methods
for Control.

Have you ever tried to sleep on n
hot summer night when just one mos
quito had crept through the window
screen? Imagine your state of mind
If that single mosquito were multi
piled by 100 and you had your hands
tied!
That sensation, according to the bu-
reau of entomology, United States de-
partment of agriculture, is something
comparable with what horse, mule,
or COW endures when the stable fly
is present in great numbers.
The stable fly greatly resembles the
ordinary house fly, but for the lance
with which he is armed. 1t Is known
that he carries disease from infected
animals to healthy ones, and there is
some ground for belief that the insect
aids the spread of spinal meningitis
among human beings.
The eggs of the fly are laid in loose,
warm straw heaps. and piles Of sta
BILE refuse. A plague of flies always
starts from these sources, and the
control Of the pest Is best managed
by scattering the straw in the spring
before the beginning Of warm weather
and blowing it under, or by burning it
when the former method can not be
applied.
Stable refuse should be scattered at
regular intervals OF one week or less
throughout the season, starting with
early spring. In this way the first
generation of the pest is destroyed
and a plague averted. A recent publi-
cation of the department, Farmers
bulletin, 1907, gives in detail the life
history of the stable ay, methods for
It's control, and some facts concern
ing the amount of damage done by
the insect.

MORE ATTENTION TO
OATS RECON- MENDED
Crop Ranks Next to Corn and
Wheat in Value.
Among Essentials for Successful Pro.
duction Are Well-Prepared Land,
Fairly Fertile, and Seeds of
Suitable Varieties.

Oats rank next to corn and wheat in
crop acreage and value in the United
States. But, Notwithstanding this,
less attention has been given to the
production of oats than to any other
important grain, so that yields often
have been unsatisfactory and the crop
sometimes Improbable, say specialists
Of the United States department Of
agriculture.
The essentials for success In oat
production:
Well-prepared land that is retentive
Of moisture and fairly fertile.
Good seeds of suitable varieties,
thoroughly cleaned and graded and
treated for smut.
Early seeding with grain drill.
The harvesting of the crop at the
proper time.
Careful shocking and stacking so as
to preserve the crop from injury by
weathering.
Clean thrashlng.
Directions for making the growing
Of oats more generally profitable are
given in Farmers Bulletin S92.
