Praise the Lord
And Use DDT
By ROSE DENSMAR

I AM CONSCIOUS of no SacrilegiouS
thought when suggest praise to the
Divinity for DDT. If you have lived in
the pre-DDT days. you will understand
why | chant my gratitude.
AT this time of year. my thoughts go
hack to my childhood home and the
constant battle between my mother
and the ever-present flies.
Summer is on the wane, the nights
are chilly and the days are showing
signs of the coming autumn No more
do we broil in the midday heat, and
the change to cooler condition is
more than welcome Except for one
thing. Fliesl
AS soon as the fly season approached,
the family might as well have taken
refuge in the Black Hole of Calcutta.
The dark green shades at each window
we're drawn tightly from early morn
inc until darkness set in. One simply
walked about, not seeing, only feeling
objects of familiarity.
Morning Roundup
Early in the morning, everyone was
routed out of bed and each sleepy in
dividual was armed with CLOTH Then
the merry chase. Beginning at the
room farthest away, flies that had
taken refuge on the ceiling or walls,
were driven into the next room, from
there to the next, until the door open
ing to the outdoors was reached. Faith
er, being the tallest, brushed at the
ceiling, then Mother. along the walls
as high as she could reach; and then
we four stair-step children, reaching
according to our height. The rooms,
being free of all flies now, were again
darkened for the coming day.
Decorating the top of the screen
door, was a fringe about a foot wide,
cut from oilcloth and tackled to the
top. This was to brush away the flies
gathered on the screen door and was
to drive them away every time the
door was opened and closed.
No Sip
In every room, placed on tables and
chairs, were saucers, with two half
sheets of poisoned black flypaper, satu-
aen..x.sssss.9a.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-10-01

rated In small amount of wafer and
sprlnkled with little sugar. If the
mes were thirsty enough, they would
take a sip and die-maybe. I cannot
ever remember seeing a fly take a
drink.
The large sheets of sticky flypaper
were not too popular at our house.
Humans, more often than the flies,
were victims of its sickness. If placed
on table or chair, some one would
be sure to sit on it or throw a piece of
wearing apparel on its goodness.
How often, after the ''store" fly swat
ter had worn out, have I seen Mother
cut a piece of screen the right size,
bind the edges with cloth, turn up the
two lower corners of the screen and
tack it to narrow slat, and a new
Swatter would be born. Father often
used his folded newspaper, upon which
Mother frowned, as it usually proved
too strenuous in its swatting ability,
leaving remains of the dead fly to be
wiped away with a cloth.
One year a fly trap graced our home
1t was cone shaped screen contrap-
ton, the small end of the cone extend
ing into a larger vessel. The idea was
to lure the flies into the cone through
the wide opening and into the far con-
tainer, and hardly ever would they get
back through the small end. The idea
was good and caught some flies. but
who missed twenty-five flies when hum
dreds swarmed about?
Then Came DDT
Several varieties of fly spray were
used, but none seemed effective. Not
until DDT was introduced to the pub
lie. Like magic the flies disappeared,
and the dread pest of the season was
gone. Autumn, for the first time in
history, became a period of time to be
loved instead of apprehended. Old
timers could hardly believe such q
miracle could happen. The younger
people were jubilant that their genera
ton had solved this problem. The
of today take fly eradica-
tion as natural course of nature.
Maybe the flies of today are beconn-
ing immune to DDT, and malathion and
pyrethrum sprays are recommended
for use, but we oldsters still hand the
bouquet to DDT for blazing the trail
'or the determination of the greatest
household scourge, the common fly.
