Added significance is given to the twenty annual meettng of the National Fire Protection Association in San Francisco on June 14, 15 and 16 by the announcement that our 1920 fire loss reached the stUpendouS total of over $500, 900, 900, despite the fact that no great confagration was involved.
 What the property destruction would have been had there been no fire prevention agencies at work dur ing such a period Of business unset clement and readjus m ent following g the tension or wartime no one can estimate. During it's constructive ac- tivities, extending over a quarter of a century, however, much has been accomplished in carrying out the aims of the association. which are '-To prom Ote the science and improve the methods of fire protection and information on these subjects, and to secure the corporation of its members in establishing proper safe guards against loss of life and prop erty by fre.''
 Since it's organization, in 1885. the association has issued standards cOv- ering the handling of hazardous many other factors in the fire haz- ards, and it's findings are recognized through ghout the United States and abroad as being the highest author ity in such matters.
 At the meeting the present. officers will be proposed for reelection as follows: W. F. Mallalieu, preside ent; w G. Robinson, second vice presi- dent; Franklin H. Wentworth, sec 'retary-treasurer; Rudolph P. Miller, chairman of the executive committed

Prof. F. c. Bishop in Farmers Bul- letin No. 734, U- s. Dept Agr., has quite number of clever schemes, one of them being balloon-shaped fly trap on the top of garbage can cover. It would seem that if the cover were tight such trap might not be neces- sary, but where a can is frequently opened there are bound to be flies shut in which will seek the light through small hole in the can cover into this balloon trap
 Probably the best poison bait for house flies is formaldehyde in milk, used at the rate of about two teaspoonfuls Of formaldehyde to a pint of mixture of equal parts of milk and water. This can be placed in an inverted bottle, allowing a few drops to exude into a saucer. A little brown sugar or rnolas- ses will make the bait more attractive.

National Crop Improvement Service-I esE LY TRAPS have distinct place
 in the control of the house fly and other noxious fly species There IS a general tendency, however, for those engaged in combating flies to put too much dependence on the fly trap instead of giving more attention to the prevention of breeding" says Mr. Frank Baackes, Vice President, American Steel and Wire Company, either by completely disposing of breeding places or by treating the breeding material with chemicals.
 Twelve hundred house flies and per haps more will issue from q pound of stable manure, and under favorable conditions the offspring of a single fly wintering over in the house may in the course of one season produce buzzing army of 5,59S, ,720, LOO 900 adult flies, one half being females.
 'Sulphate of iron may be freely seat tered throughout the stables, chicken houses and manure piles, making a very cheap, effective way of cutting down the fly nuisance.
