Swat First Fly!

This is the acceptable season, es-
pecially in rural communities, for the
alert housewife land all others CON
nected with the household) to swat
the first house fly, just awakened
from its winter Information; for by
so doing will there be surcease from
annoyance and prevention of peril
from and by the millions Of descend
ants which otherwise will mark Aug
ust and September. The common
house fly is more persistent than an
/ insurance salesman, more courageous
than any known animal, and more
deadly than tiger. 1t should be
"swatted" at sight, caught and dis
patched up by any and all types Of
traps, and-more important than ali
that-breeding places should be de-
stroyed, all unclean spots made san
itary, and homes completely screened
Civilization has at last discovered
that the fly is the most dangerous
animate thing on earth. This is not
the opinion of faddists, nor is it
written to attract attention by sem
sationalism of statement 1t is a
cold fact, scientifically demonstrated,
and the statement conforms conserv-
atively to the known scientific data,
All the tigers Of India are not so
dangerous as the tiny fly buzzing
about the kitchen. The toll of hui
man life by the house flies Of
America in a season exceeds the
known slaughter of human beings by
all the bloodthirsty denizens of Afri-
ca in an ordinary span of fife. The
fly is tenfold more destructive than
all the poisonous reptiles of the trop-
les, and has caused more sickness and
death than any other insect or ami
NAL enemy of the human race.
The black cobra of South Africa
the hooded cobra of India, the fer de
lance of the West Indies, the coral
snake of the same lovely islands and
the tip of Florida, the bushmaster OF
panama and naullachi, the four
fanged nightmare of the Mexican
coffee groves, are all known as "l5-
minute snakes" because death comes
in less than that brief interval after
they strike. The house fly does not
work so quickly, but it causes many
more deaths, besides sickness and
suffering and expense of incalculable
volume.
The fly is no longer regarded as a
harmless nuisance, or an annoying
accompaniment of the heated season.
Investigation and study have revealed
it in its true light; dangerous, fill
thy, disease-carrying messenger of
death Swat the fly at sight; kill it
by whatsoever means are at hand;
and, above all, abolish every breeding
place Every garbage dump, manure
pile, or other possible location for
the rapid production of fly population
should be abolished. The proper, ef-
fective time to do it is now!

Tells of Use And
Abuse of Timothy

Timothy has been a much maligned
crop, having its good and bad points
like everything else. Much of the
abuse directed at timothy has result
ed from improper use of this crop,
states S. Cutler, associate agrono-
mist at the Ohio Experiment Station.
In spite of its poor reputation, timo-
thy is an important part of the hay
mixture on 73 per cent of the land in
hay, or, roughly, 100000 acres in
Ohio. In northeastern Ohio timothy
is grown on SO per cent of the hay
acreage.
Timothy is frequently objected to
on the grounds that it is hard on the
land Timothy does draw heavily on
the nutrients in the soil; but, when it
is considered that most timothy
meadows are inadequately fertilized,
it is no wonder that the crop has this
reputation The crops following tim
othy frequently do not yield well,
largely because of the fact that the
meadow is pretty we'll run out before
it is plowed and consequently little is
left to be plowed under. Both Of
these criticisms are the result of
improper use rather than any fault
of the crop itself.
The feeding value of timothy hay
is frequently low because Of the
coarseness and woodiness of the hay.
This can be avoided, as the quality
of timothy hay is directly dependent
upon the time it is harvested. The
later timothy is cut, the lower the
feeding value will be. In expert
ments at North Ridgeville, the most
protein per acre was obtained when
the hay was cut in the early bloom
stage, or during the last week OF
June. The hay cut at this stage
graded U. S. No ! timothy with a
high percentage of green color. In
other words, the bulk of the timothy
and mixed hay making should be
completed before July rather than
after.

Seed Potatoes
Should BE Treated

Seed potatoes which arc scabbv Or
covered nln Raizeefonia (blacl,
scurf) s.lorsF be taaatea before plant
ing. One af tho cheape. ard most
effective treatments recommended by
Paul Tilford, potato disease special
ist at the Ohio Experiment Station,
is to soak the seed for 112 hours in
a solution made by dissolving 4 ounc-
es of corrosive sublimate in 30 gal
Ions of water. The corrosive sub
Innate should be dissolved in small
amount Of hot water and then diluted
to 80 gallons in wood container,
such as barrel. After treating
each lot of potatoes it is necessary
to add "a ounce of corrosive sub
Innate to bring the 30 gallons Of So
luton back to normal strength. Even
with this precaution the solution
should not be used more than seven
or eight times before it is discarded
and new lot made up.
Corrosive sublimate is poisonous If
taken internally, and for this reason
it should be kept away from children
and livestock.
If a large quantity of seed IS to
be treated, one of the dip methods is
preferable to the corrosive sublimate
method. The calomel dip treatment
is both economical and effective. A
corrosive sublimate solution "a or. to
80 gall should be prepared as de-
scribed above, and then 212 pounds
of calomel should be stirred into it.
The tubers should be dipped for a
few seconds and then removed and
allowed to drain. Since calomel set
ties out of suspension rapidly, 1t IS
necessary to keep it stirred while
dipping the tubers The mixture
does not decrease in strength and
can be used until the supply is ex-
hausted. Wire baskets or crates may
be used for dipping.
Some of the improved organic
mercury compounds are effective for
seed treatment and should be used
according to the manufacturers rec
concentrations.
If possible, seed potatoes should be
treated while they are still dormant
See treatment is effective in ser
ilizing only the surface Of the tuber'
and is not effective against diseases
horne inside the tubers. Also, treat
ed seed planted in nearly neutra
or alkaline soil will give seabby
crop if the scab organism is already
in the soil.

NOW is THE TIME TO
BUILD OR REPAIR
/. + + + r + + 1. + i. + 1. + 4. .

Plenty has been said about the orgy
of building which took place during
the boom years providing more dwell
ings than there was any need for. But
now that several years have passed,
this overproduction has been well av-
eraged down.
A few years ago We were building
several hundred thousand homes a
year undoubtedly too many. But
last year we built only $4,000.
Thousands of these newer homes, as
well as millions Of older ones, have
been allowed to deteriorate to the
point of needing extensive repair OF
replacement.
There never was a better time to dc
either, than now. Lumber, cement
and other basic materials are selling
at rock-bottom prices. So are cleo
trical and plumbing and roofing sup
plies There is an abundance Of labor
skilled and unskilled. The citizen who

ance Of property covers a wide ares
and alights in many pockets. 1t has {
powerful stimulating effect on the ma
tional purchasing power.
If you're able to build home ant

can probably spend few dollars or
few hundred dollars on repairs AM

COW-Grans

The following important points are
brought to the attention of dairy
men by c. c. Hayden, Chief of the
Dairy Department at the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station:
/. Watch for warbles now. II
they appear, squeeze them out, and
kill them. They may continue com
ing out until June.
2. If your clover or alfalfa has
not come through the winter well,
do not forget that soybeans make hay
almost equal to alfalfa for cows.
3. This is the season of the year
when cows which have been on poor
rations are most likely to show signs
of mineral deficiency by bone chew
ing, licking soil, etc. See that they
get plenty of salt and keep spray
materials, lead paint, old electric bat
teries, etc, away from them.
a. If you turn to pasture early
do not expect your cows to keep up
milk flow well without some grain
5. If a bull is bought at one OF
the spring sales, see that his dam is
out of a high-producing family II
is the family which counts, not the
individual.
6. See that the silo is left in gooC
shape for the summer
7. If you have only four or five
cows and want a home grown substi
tute for silage, try mangels.
g. Get all the manure out on tht
fields before the fly nuisance starts
q Plan to cut the weeds" out o
your herd before another winter
TO- Nature has passed through
another temperature-depression am
is starting anew Let us take cour
age and do likewise in things wort
