Sanitation, Chemicals
Can Help Control Flies
BY M. L. OUTZ
County Agent
Flies are the number one
pest for Laurens County citi
zens. The fly population in-
the year, and will continue to
build as the season progresses.
The recommended formulas for
control are screening, sanita
tion, and the use of chemicals.
Of course, screening is impos-
to follow a program of sani
tation, together with chemicals.
Scientists tell us that one house
fly will lay as many as 600 eggs,
and a generation may develop
in less than two weeks. So one
small fly may have as many as
10 generations during a season.
It becomes very important that
we practice sanitation. As we
know, flies normally must have
moisture and compost for
breeding, or some other organic
material, so it becomes import
ant that we keep clean to eli
minate the breeding places. If
we do our best from a sanita
tion standpoint, then we can go t
to chemicals for the cleanup.

week, demonstrating fly con
trol to dairy and hog farmers.
He recommended a very strict
sanitation program, followed by
the use of a 1% solution of Cy-
gon as a residual spray for out
door problems. He also recom
mended several chemicals that
I will not name for inside use.
If anyone would like to have this
list, please call, as it is an
extended list. One very import
ant method of fly control, ac
cording to Dr. Kissam, is sugar
baits. This material is made
with concentrated chemicals
such as Vapona and Dibrom,
and then the sugar bait is scat
tered in areas where flies are
feeding. Of course, the sugar
would attract the flies imme
diately, and these materials
would kill the flies. There are
many different chemicals a-
vailable to use, but we would
recommend that SANITATION
be the number one method of at
tack, as the breeding places
should be held to a minimum.

Hogs are beautiful! That is
what we were told in Columbia
last week at the Pork-O-Rama.
Laurens County was well repre
sented with approximately 15
persons from the County. Sur
prising to everyone was the
fact that there were more than
I, 000 people in attendance at
this event. Two carloads for
Laurens went down. I carried
J. H. Powers, Tom Copeland,
Joe McDaniel and Truman Leo
pard. Albert Williams carried
Willie Eichelberger, Maurice
Blakely, J. H. Franklin, and
Odell Cook. Carolina Milling
Co. was there with a nice ex
hibit with Frank Waldrep at
tending the exhibit. Frank pass
ed out to our group a nice
needle set, along with pencils.
The Governor spoke at the
dinner meeting, and of course,
said a lot of nice things that
were very interesting. He also
made comment on his trip to
Vietnam, in saying that hog
prices are extending around the
world. Mr. Stroud, President of
the National Livestock and Meat
Board in Chicago, made a very
interesting talk concerning
foods that were in competition
with farm meats such as pork
and beef. He mentioned the large
food concerns, such as Gen
eral Mills, who do a lot of re
search and are developing many
fancy foods that attract child
ren. Also, our own Dr. O’Dell,
Director of the Extension Ser
vice, made some very interest
ing comments in winding up the
meeting. It was brought out in
one of the most important state
ments of the day that the hog is
one of the best mortgage lift
ers of all farm animals.
Q. Is there a magnolia tree
type that doesn’t bloom. I have
two 15-year-olds from nursery
stock which have never bloom
ed. Can I do something to de
velop blooms or should they be
cut down? D. R., Laurens.
A. We know of no Southern
magnolias that don’t bloom.
Usually, failure to bloom is
associated with very good vege
tative growth. Root pruning on
younger trees will often force
flowering. As the tree ages and
growth slows, it should bloom
eventually. Don’t cut it down.
The foliage alone is too valu
able as an ornamental plant.
-E. V. Jones, assistant exten
sion specialist, horticulture.
Q. My white pine trees have
a white sacle on limbs and
trunks. Is it pine scale? Will
it kill the trees? What could I
put on it? J. W. R., Greer
A. It’s apparently aphids on
the limbs and trunk. They suck
plant juices and when present
in sufficient numbers could kill
a tree. Use malathion insecti
cide mixed according to direc
tions on the label. Check trees,
at least on a weekly basis, to
see if there is reinfestation.
Spray as often as you notice
the aphids. When using these
and other chemicals, ALWAYS
read instructions on the label
and observe them completely.
- -S. A. Marbut, associate ex
tension specialist, forestry.
Q. We have an oak tree with
troubles, apparently a fungus. A
white foamy substance is around
the base and some areas have
a wet appearance. What’s the
Q. My snap beans are a mottl
ed yellowish in appearance and
leaves finally die. Other plants
also are affected, including to
matoes and some of the flower
ing plants. Check the specimen
and tell me what to do.
A. Your pest is the two-spot
ted spider mite, a general feed
er. Try washing the plants with
a strong stream of water from
the garden hose. It will dislodge
many of the spiders and is one
of the cheapest ways to attempt
control. If you want to go to
chemicals, Kelthane (dicoful)
is one which may be used on
many plants including vege
tables. Be sure to observe the
waiting periods listed on the la
bel for any particular kind of
plant.
trouble? Is it likely to destroy
azalea cuttings around the tree?
A. the best diagnosis from a
distance is wetwood, slime flux.
Say the tree has high blood
pressure and is a sick or
ganism, but with good care could
recover to live for years. This
is fermented sap flowing from a
branch stub or another weak
place in the tree. For treatment,
bore small holes into it and in
sert a copper pipe to help alle
viate pressure inside the tree
and carry sap away from the
trunk.

For control, fertilize and
water the tree to stimulate
vigor. Remove dead and weak
branches and have a tree sur
geon repair bark wounds and
cover with a dressing. The con
dition is not likely to harm the

It may be a man’s world but
it ’s certainly not that way in the
water. Liberty Mutual Insur
ance Companies’ statistics
show that nearly 85 percent of
all drowning victims are male.
COTTON farmers are asked
to keep close check un their
fields for insects. It is recom
mended that they spray, or dust,
only when it isabsolutelyneces-
sary. In fact, we are in hopes
that we will not have to spray
until the middle of June, in
asmuch as we can aggravate the
bollwurm problem by killing the
ladybug that eats the bollworm
egg.
ROACHES have become a
very hard pest to control if not
kept in check. We recommend
that you spray behind base
boards, kitchen sinks, refrig
erators, broom closets, etc.,
as roaches seek darkness dur
ing the day and they usually are
found in these areas. Sometimes
it is necessary to go into the
loft and under a house to con
trol them. We have a leaflet
roach control, if you would
