As players realize its effectiveness in removing the guess from defen- sive play, the suit-directing conver- ton is coming into more extensive use. Its application to defensive situations is almost endless.

CLEAN UP PREMISES TO
CONTROL FLY BREEDING

One female fly in the spring,
allowed to live and breed, may
leave millions of descendants by fall.
Don't give them a chance to
breed, cautions John A. Arey, ex-
tension dairy specialist at State COL
lege. Start control measures as soon
as possible.
Flies are not only carriers of
filth and disease, but they are a con-
slant source of annoyance to cattle
and live stock. Cows will not
give much milk if continually har-
assed by flies.
The first step in getting rid of
this nuisance is TO eliminate breed
ing places, Arey continued. Ma
nure from stables should be remov-
moved daily, if possible.
When practical, it is best to haul
the manure direct to the fields
where it can be spread over the land.
Where this is impractical, at least
try not to leave large piles of ma
nure lying around for many days at
a time,
Clean up the premises Of the house
and barnyard, he continued. Any
filth left exposed will serve as a
breeding place for flies.
With the best Of care however, it
will be impossible to destroy all flies
in the larvae stage. Therefore, it is
advisable to use traps, poison and
sprays in fighting this pest.
A good poison can be made by
mixing three quarts of skim milk
with one-fourth quart of Tornado
hyde and one-fourth quart of mo-
lasses. Place the mixture in shallow
containers where the flies are, but
where animals and poultry cannot
get at it.
A good spray is very effective,
Arey stated. A number are now
on the market. Follow the direc-
ton given, he said, and good re-
suits VII be obtained.
Good fly traps can be purchased
or made at home. Farmers Bulle-
tin No. 734, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington, contains
directions or making traps at home.

ing under heavy pressure to iron
out differences. Some hints were
dropped that, indirectly at least,
the White House might be behind
that pressure.
Senate Majority Leader Robin
son of Arkansas said he was con-
fident Congress could quit by Sat-

the capitol, Speaker Bankhead as
serted:
eft looks very much better for
adjournment of Congress by Satur-
day night. II an agreement is
reached on the tax bill, you will
see US put on the steam here in the
House."
In contrast, however, Senator
Connally, Democrat of Texas, left

conference committee with word
to reporters that there WAS mo

journment.
