Soon the fly will be making his
advent in our homes.
Much has been said in regard to
screening doors and destroying
breeding places. All this is good,
but one OF the surest campaigns
against the housefy is to swat him
ON his FIRST arrival.
They seek some secluded place
about the home house, where they
pass the winter and are ready at
the oncoming Of spring to emerge
from their winter quarters.
When they first come out they
are sluggish aud easily swatted.
One awaited at this period may
save thousands during the summer.
Doors and windows should be
neatly screened at all dwellings.
and every industrious farmer at this
time should haul out the manure
that has accumulated through the
winter; but despite all these there
viii come some 6es in the house.
A stitch in time saves nine. -

venient for him to do 80 and when

the part of both producers and con-
sumers 80 as to make possible the
direct marketing of farm products

rally costs more. as a rule. to mar
ket things in small quantities than
in large. and when direct market
ing is simply a deal between two
individuals, the cost of the transac-
ton is 80 great in many cases az to
leave scant advantage over the
handling of the very same products
through the usual trade channels.

The Census Count

The exodus of negroes to the
North early in the war has unques-
tionably cut down the census figures
for most Southern cities. Laurel
had a population of 1900 or
10000 at one time. according to To-
cal estimates. but it is estimated
that at least 1000 negroes left the
community in 1917 and 1918. and
many of these will never return.
The white population of the city is
larger now than ever before, and is
rapidly increasing, but this is not
true of the negro population. In
cities like Jackson. where the me-
gro population has always been
large, the exodus was probably
much greater, and this may account
for the disappointing figures first
made public. But the citizens OF
Jackson will insist on a new census.
and the Daily Leader hopes that
the Capital City will be able to
make better showing.-The Lau-
