almost any moist material. especially
that having an odor.
The general principle involved in
nearly all fly-traps is modified 10 tit
different conditions. as in the window
trap. which catches the flies as they
endeavor TO enter or leave a building:
the garbage can trap, and the manure
box trap. which retains flies bred from
infested manure already in the box.
Light is an important facto< in the
success of all traps, for flies have a
marked tendency 10 so toward the
light.
While many commercial traps are on
the market, anyone with a few tools
: can construct traps at a small fraction
| of the sale price of ready-made ones.
The conical hoop trap which appears
from extensive tests to be most eff
~fective, durable. easily made. and re-
paired can also be made quite cheaply.
II consists of a screen cylinder with
a barrel-hoop frame containing g
screen cone inside. The total cost Of
the material, if bought new at retail
prices, is about 81. If only wire and
tacks are bought the cost should not
exceed so cents.
4 modification of this trap that
can be made more quickly and with
fewer tools is suggested. The tent trap
IS not considered as effective as the
conicsl type. Any good trap may be
used over a manure box, which must
have a hole cut in the top. The trap
is fitted closely over this hole to catch
flies bred in the manure
A Trap for the Window
A type of modified tent trap may
be used in a window. Ir is adaptable
also to barns and buildings where
foodstuffs are prepared. 1t is advised
that properly baited traps to catch
screw-worm flies be used near water
ing places and where cattle congregate.
In choosing bait for fly-traps Il
should be remembered that fermenta-
ton renders the material attractive. A
mixture of cheap "black-strap'' molas-
ses and water is an economical and
effective bait for the house fly. One
part molasses is mixed with three
parts water. ~'Sugar-beet or stock
molasses" is fairly attractive in re-
gions where it is produced. Brown
sugar syrup allowed to ferment is good
If mixed In the proportion of one part
brown sugar in four parts of water.
A small amount of vinegar added
hastens fermentation. If honey bees
are attracted by this bait some other
kind should be used. Milk on dairy
farms is the next choice TO cane
molasses as a cheap and convenient at
tractant. The curd from the milk COM

are broad and shallow rather than

for and placed in suitable locations.

Traps should be emptied of dead flies

Washington, July 22-Radio con
troll of an irrigation project compris
ing some 10000 acres of reclaimed
land in Arizona is the latest use &c
which over-worked radio has been put
by the government. The Salt Rive,
Valley Water Users association. which
is a local agency controlling the Sail
river irrigation project for the interior
department., has installed and equipped
a radio house toward the source of the
Verde river. their natural water sup
ply. There is no railroad or means OF
communication between Proenix. Arl-
zona, and the upper reaches of the
river where sudden storms cause the
ordinary low water to rise with great
rapidity, frequently flooding the
ranches and farms below and causing
enormous damage.
Secretary Fall Approves
Believing that radio service would
provide a timely warning. the operators
of the project have taken up the latest
means of quick and direct communica-
ton, and received the approval of
Secretary Fall of the interior depart
ment. Gauges are placed in the upper
Verde and also at Cave creek, so that
any appreciate rise can be noted and
broadcasted from the station to the
managers office in Phoenix and to all
ranch owners who listen in.
There is also another phase Of use
fulness to the new radio station. When
the Verde, which flows into the Salt
river near Phoenix. is supplying plenty
of water only a little is used from the
reservoir back of the big Roosevelt
dam, and in the future the inlet from
the reservoir will be controlled by tele-
phone from Phoenix, based on reports
from the radio station as to the state
of the water in the Verde. When the
storage water is not needed, or the
radio station advises the operator at
Phoenix that rain is falling in the
Verde basin the inlet to the system
from the Roosevelt dam will be closed
and nature will take care of the irri-
CATION; but when the Verde is low. the
inlet at the dam will be opened by tele-
phone orders from Phoenix. This con
troll will conserve considerable of the
valuable storage supply for emergen-
cies.
Built Up Since 1900
Some estimate of the project and its
value may be gained when it is known
that in this territory, practically built
up since 1900, 196. 1850 acres are crop
ped annually out of a total acreage of
205, 060, and that the crops in 1920
were valued at $1S,551,S 500. The land
included in the Salt river project CON-
prised 1920 farms with a population
of 81 600, includes IA towns with 81
schools, 62 churches and 20 banks.

ton has been transformed from an arid
territory into a high state of %cultiva-

in deposits since 1920.
In the past there have been some
bad years, when the water was short.
but with the new radio control and
communication it is believed that the

reached the fort after hard fighting
and some losses.
Odds of 100 to
numbered 81, four civilians having
joined them. Among the latter was al
old frontiersman of renown as an In,
dian fighter. who later was credited
with killing more than 100 Sioux. AS
n great mass of reds began forming
east of the corral. Powell and his mer
made ready to sell their lives dearly
With odds of 100 to l against them,
not a man expected to survive, but
all were cool and determined. Some
OF the less expert marksmen were de
tailed TO load rifles, there being two
or three of these for each man. AS
the battle grew imminent. the defend
ers settled themselves before the loop
holes in the wagon boxes. Powell or
dered that not a shot be fired until he
gave the word.
Suddenly 800 Sioux warriors, mount
ed on their best war ponies. detached
themselves from the main body and
charged toward the corral. Behind
them 1000 more formed to follow as
soon as an opening was made in the
d~efenses. As the ~.whooping. painted
Indians Numbered on, the little fort
maintained an ominous silence. They
were lU yards away and not a shot
was fired. Fifty yards, and Powell
spoke.
Wagon-hox Sides AfIame
The sides Of the wagon-boxes were
sheeted with flame as a whitening
storm of lead whistled and shrieked
among the astonishcd braves. They

other-then silence. The rapid fire
from the white meen that moved them
down by scores threw them into con-
fusion. The wave broke against the
corral and swept around it, as the
SIOUX circled the enclosure at top
speed. looking in vain for a weak place
10 attack. The blasting fire hurled
them back until, in panic, they broke
and galloped out of range.
Around the corral dead and diving
warriors lay thickly piled among the
killed and wounded horses. Within the
corral Lieutenant Jenness and a prj-
vate soldier had been killed and two
enlisted men mortally wounded The
81 were now % in fighting strength.
Black with powder and sweating in the
August sun, they broke open ammuni-
ton cases to be ready for the next
onslaught.
Mown Down in Rows
In front of the corral. where the
first force of the charge had been spent,
horses and men were stretched ont in
masses as though some gigantic now
ing machine had cut them down. Some
of the red warriors who were wounded
tried to crawl away. but as soon as one
showed a sign Of life, a bullet from the
vigilant soldiers killed him. The sue
cessful repulse of that first terrific on
slaught of the reds served to nerve the
defenders of the corral. but the great
masses of warriors visible at a distance
in all directions seemed to them TO
spell eventual annihilation, as thew
could not believe that it would be pos
sible to defend themselves against a
countless horde of Indians in a sus-
tanned, concentrated attack.
Red Cloud, puzzled and worried by
the result of the attack, at once
planned what he expected would be a
crushing blow. He detailed 700 In
dams to strip to their breech- clouts and
creep forward to within easy range of
the wa%gon-boxes. using every ravine or
that offered as cover. These

and allowed the Sioux to drag away
their dead almost unmolested. Before
they had finished their work a shell
burst among them and a cheer went up
from the soldiers. for relief from the
fort had come. Soon 100 men and a
howitzer reached them and escorted
them back to the post.
Red Cloud could easily have retrieved
in part the lost fortunes of the day by
an attack on the relief party in the
Open. He was too much diSheartened
and dismayed to attempt it. His
power was broken and he never took
part in another important fight. lie
afterward admitted that his losses in
the Wagon-box fight in killed and
wounded numbered 1,137. Each de-
fender, on an average, had accounted
for SO of the reds.
so Indians at so Yards
Further testimony as to the number
of Indians killed and wounded is CON
tanned in o conversation between one
of the civilian scouts and the depart
ment commander, some weeks after the
fight. as reported by Colonel X. l..

On this occasion Powell received his
third brevet for heroism and distin-
guished conduct on the field.
The next fall a new treaty was made
with the Sioux, and Fort Phil Kearney
was abandoned and burned. In mem
ory there is associated with it one Of
the two most notable defeats of white
soldiers by Indians and the most over
whelming victory of whites over reds.
